Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2004 Christies in Sydney held the auction THE JOHN SCHAEFFER COLLECTION AT RONA, which included the work A Portrait Medallion of William Charles Wentworth by Thomas Woolner. The price achieved of AUD 9,560.00 (€ 5,585.60) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as AUD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Woolner - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Roundel Of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, which sold at auction in July 2010 for GBP 11,250.00 (€ 13,526.86).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2004 führte Christies in Sydney die Auktion THE JOHN SCHAEFFER COLLECTION AT RONA durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Portrait Medallion of William Charles Wentworth von Thomas Woolner zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von AUD 9.560,00 (€ 5.585,60) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit AUD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas Woolner mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Roundel Of Alfred, Lord Tennyson beobachtet, die im Juli 2010 für GBP 11.250,00 (€ 13.526,86) versteigert wurde.
