Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2008 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Figures loading a barge before a windmill (illustrated); and A Border castle by William Leighton Leitch. The price achieved of GBP 875.00 (€ 1,106.03) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Leighton Leitch achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Villa of Lucullus At Miseneum in November 2005 with an auction result of GBP 48,000.00 (€ 70,518.07).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit Figures loading a barge before a windmill (illustrated); and A Border castle von William Leighton Leitch zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 875,00 (€ 1.106,03) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Leighton Leitch erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Villa of Lucullus At Miseneum im November 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 48.000,00 (€ 70.518,07).
