Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

The work Portrait of William David Murray, Viscount Stormont (d.1893), half-length by William Edwards Miller was worth GBP 2,160.00 (€ 3,178.59) to a buyer in May 2007. This price was achieved in the auction Scone Palace and Blairquhan The Selected Contents of Two Great Scottish Houses at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 400.00 many times over. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by William Edwards Miller; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Portrait of a young boy, three-quarter-length, holding a riding crop sold at auction in September 2006 with the realized price of GBP 2,640.00 (€ 3,894.56).
