Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Valentine Walter Bromley achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July last year. In the The Isabel Goldsmith Collection: Selected Pre-Raphaelite and Symbolist Art auction, the work 'The De'il awa wi the Exciseman' sold for GBP 3,024.00 (€ 3,611.19) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Admittedly, works by Valentine Walter Bromley have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Flora in December 2014 with an auction result of GBP 15,000.00 (€ 19,309.97).
