Upper estimate price exceeded by 61 %.
The work Bogaboo by William Percy French was sold in the The Irish Sale auction at Christies in London in May 2008. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 5,625.00 (€ 7,155.25), 61% 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 61 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Bogaboo von William Percy French wurde im Mai 2008 in der Auktion The Irish Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 5.625,00 (€ 7.155,25) und damit 61% 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).
