Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2003 Christies in London held the auction Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu, Icons, Russian and, which included the work Unknown by W. Seville. The price achieved of GBP 82.25 (€ 116.50) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 50.00 – 100.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by W. Seville - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Unknown, which sold at auction in November 2006 for GBP 216.00 (€ 320.77).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion Portrait Miniatures, Objects of Vertu, Icons, Russian and durch, in der auch die Arbeit Unknown von W. Seville zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 82,25 (€ 116,50) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 50,00 – 100,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von W. Seville mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Unknown beobachtet, die im November 2006 für GBP 216,00 (€ 320,77) versteigert wurde.
