Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, which included the work The Lych-Gate by Thomas Matthews Rooke. The price achieved of GBP 17,500.00 (€ 19,496.55) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Matthews Rooke - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Clytie Turning Towards The Sun, which sold at auction in December 2006 for GBP 45,600.00 (€ 67,676.11).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2018 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Lych-Gate von Thomas Matthews Rooke zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 17.500,00 (€ 19.496,55) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas Matthews Rooke mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Clytie Turning Towards The Sun beobachtet, die im Dezember 2006 für GBP 45.600,00 (€ 67.676,11) versteigert wurde.
