Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2012 Christies in London held the auction Centuries of Style: Silver, European Ceramics, Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes, which included the work A gentleman, in light green coat and waistcoat, frilled cravat, short powdered curling wig by William Prewett. The price achieved of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,245.96) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Admittedly, works by William Prewett have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Gentleman, In Brown Velvet Coat And Waistcoat, White Frilled Shirt And Cravat, Long Curling Powdered Wig in July 2005 with an auction result of GBP 4,800.00 (€ 6,962.35).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Centuries of Style: Silver, European Ceramics, Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes durch, in der auch die Arbeit A gentleman, in light green coat and waistcoat, frilled cravat, short powdered curling wig von William Prewett zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.245,96) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Prewett auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A Gentleman, In Brown Velvet Coat And Waistcoat, White Frilled Shirt And Cravat, Long Curling Powdered Wig im Juli 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.800,00 (€ 6.962,35).
