Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Unknown by William Essex was sold in the Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu, Icons, Russian and auction at Christies in London in December 2003. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 150.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 152.75 (€ 216.35). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Essex achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), In Brown Coat And Waistcoat, White Shirt And Black Cravat, Forward Combed Grey Hair in July 2005 with an auction result of GBP 6,600.00 (€ 9,573.24).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Unknown von William Essex wurde im Dezember 2003 in der Auktion Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu, Icons, Russian and bei Christies in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 150,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 152,75 (€ 216,35) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Essex erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), In Brown Coat And Waistcoat, White Shirt And Black Cravat, Forward Combed Grey Hair im Juli 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.600,00 (€ 9.573,24).
