William Huggins (1820-1884)
Bideston Farmhouse
signed 'W Huggins' (lower right)
oil on board
23 x 17¼ in. (58.5 x 44 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by William Huggins achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2008. In the Victorian & Traditionalist Pictures auction, the work Bideston Farmhouse sold for GBP 11,250.00 (€ 11,815.77) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Huggins achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Two leopards in January 2011 with an auction result of USD 458,500.00 (€ 334,305.50).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von William Huggins erzielte im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Victorian & Traditionalist Pictures wurde die Arbeit Bideston Farmhouse für GBP 11.250,00 (€ 11.815,77) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Huggins erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Two leopards im Januar 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 458.500,00 (€ 334.305,50).
