Upper estimate price exceeded by 38 %.
In May 2008 Christies in London held the auction The Irish Sale, which included the work Alpine landscape by William Percy French. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,498.12), 38% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Percy French achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Paint Brush and Pen: Some Impressions for Pictures and Snatches of Song by William Percy French'; an album of thirteen watercolours including The Fairie's Cough; Morning; Evening; In the Studio; The Kindly Welcome; To E.R.; To the Dark Rosaleen; Gor in May 2000 with an auction result of GBP 58,750.00 (€ 94,2
Oberer Schätzpreis um 38 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Irish Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Alpine landscape von William Percy French zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.498,12) und damit 38% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von William Percy French erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Paint Brush and Pen: Some Impressions for Pictures and Snatches of Song by William Percy French'; an album of thirteen watercolours including The Fairie's Cough; Morning; Evening; In the Studio; The Kindly Welcome; To E.R.; To the Dark Rosaleen; Gor im Mai 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 58.750,00 (€ 94.272,08).
