Auction result misses estimated price range
In May 2007 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrait of Thomas Crispe (b.1695) of Catton, bust-length, in a brown velvet coat, feigned oval by Thomas Frye for GBP 2,400.00 (€ 3,531.76). This price was achieved in the auction The Irish Sale Part II at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Frye achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of A Gentleman; And Portrait Of A Lady in April 2010 with an auction result of GBP 43,250.00 (€ 49,772.29).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai 2007 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrait of Thomas Crispe (b.1695) of Catton, bust-length, in a brown velvet coat, feigned oval von Thomas Frye für GBP 2.400,00 (€ 3.531,76) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Irish Sale Part II bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Frye erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of A Gentleman; And Portrait Of A Lady im April 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 43.250,00 (€ 49.772,29).
