Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2008 Christies in London held the auction West ~ East - The Niall Hobhouse Collection, which included the work Design for a four poster bed and a secretaire by Thomas Malton the Elder. The price achieved of GBP 1,625.00 (€ 2,067.07) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Malton the Elder - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A perspective drawing of a desk and chair, which sold at auction in January 2011 for USD 6,000.00 (€ 4,374.77).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion West ~ East - The Niall Hobhouse Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Design for a four poster bed and a secretaire von Thomas Malton the Elder zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.625,00 (€ 2.067,07) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas Malton the Elder mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A perspective drawing of a desk and chair beobachtet, die im Januar 2011 für USD 6.000,00 (€ 4.374,77) versteigert wurde.
