Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A Third Rate testing her guns (illustrated); and A dismasted frigate in heavy seas by Thomas Lyde Hornbrook was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 200.00 – 300.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 144.00 (€ 215.15). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Lyde Hornbrook achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Frigate Hove-To And Signalling For A Pilot, Possibly Off The Approaches To Guernsey in June 2001 with an auction result of GBP 6,462.50 (€ 10,735.50).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A Third Rate testing her guns (illustrated); and A dismasted frigate in heavy seas von Thomas Lyde Hornbrook im Oktober 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200,00 – 300,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 144,00 (€ 215,15) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Lyde Hornbrook erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Frigate Hove-To And Signalling For A Pilot, Possibly Off The Approaches To Guernsey im Juni 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.462,50 (€ 10.735,50).
