Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In May 2010 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work A busy beach; and Elegant ladies enjoying the sun by Walter John Beauvais. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 937.50 (€ 1,098.41), 17% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Walter John Beauvais - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A bustling Mediterranean beach; and Another similar, which sold at auction in January 2002 for GBP 1,645.00 (€ 2,702.75).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Mai 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit A busy beach; and Elegant ladies enjoying the sun von Walter John Beauvais zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 937,50 (€ 1.098,41) und damit 17% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Walter John Beauvais mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A bustling Mediterranean beach; and Another similar beobachtet, die im Januar 2002 für GBP 1.645,00 (€ 2.702,75) versteigert wurde.
