Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Old Chelsea by W. Webb was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2002. It achieved a price of GBP 998.75 (€ 1,579.85), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 25%. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by W. Webb - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A three-master hove-to and waiting for the pilot, in the Channel, which sold at auction in May 2005 for GBP 2,640.00 (€ 3,897.47).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Old Chelsea von W. Webb kam im Oktober 2002 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 998,75 (€ 1.579,85) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 25%. Für andere Arbeiten von W. Webb mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A three-master hove-to and waiting for the pilot, in the Channel beobachtet, die im Mai 2005 für GBP 2.640,00 (€ 3.897,47) versteigert wurde.
