Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Roses, crysanthemums, parrot tulips, carnations, larkspur, and butterlies on a stone ledge; and Morning glory, parrot tulips, lavendar, roses and butterflies on a stone ledge by Thomas Webster was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,125.00 (€ 2,848.65). Admittedly, works by Thomas Webster have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Maternal Affection in June 2001 with an auction result of GBP 14,100.00 (€ 23,422.91).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Roses, crysanthemums, parrot tulips, carnations, larkspur, and butterlies on a stone ledge; and Morning glory, parrot tulips, lavendar, roses and butterflies on a stone ledge von Thomas Webster im Januar 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 600,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.125,00 (€ 2.848,65) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Thomas Webster auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Maternal Affection im Juni 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 14.100,00 (€ 23.422,91).
