William de Morgan (British, 1839-1917)
An early Fulham Period tile, 1888-1897
Hand painted in colours, glazed, part of a repeating pattern with vases, flowers and foliage, with impressed Sands End Pottery mark, 23cm high x 22.8cm wide (9in high x 8 1/2in wide)

Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

When the work An early Fulham Period tile, 1888-1897 by William de Morgan was auctioned at Bonhams in December last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 150.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 765.00 (€ 863.61). Admittedly, works by William de Morgan have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Perseus and Andromeda in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 4,780.00 (€ 6,978.65).

Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit An early Fulham Period tile, 1888-1897 von William de Morgan im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Bonhams versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 150,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 765,00 (€ 863,61) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William de Morgan auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Perseus and Andromeda im Februar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.780,00 (€ 6.978,65).
