Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by William Clerihew could be acquired at Christies in London in December 2005 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British and Continental Watercolours and Oriental auction, the work Rushman ud-Dowlah Mosque in which Nadir Shah sat during the massacre changed hands for GBP 180.00 (€ 261.26) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Clerihew achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A sketchbook of forty-five drawings and watercolours from the artist's tour in 1851 of India, Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Beirut, Israel, Cyprus and Greece in December 2010 with an auction result of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,479.99).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Clerihew konnte im Dezember 2005 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Oriental wechselte die Arbeit Rushman ud-Dowlah Mosque in which Nadir Shah sat during the massacre für GBP 180,00 (€ 261,26) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Clerihew erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A sketchbook of forty-five drawings and watercolours from the artist's tour in 1851 of India, Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Beirut, Israel, Cyprus and Greece im Dezember 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.479,99).
