Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In September 2002 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian Pictures, which included the work Portrait of General Sir Arthur Clifton, K.C.B., K.C.H., full-length, in uniform, holding a plumed hat in his right hand and a sword in his left, in a landscape by Walter Salter. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,700.00 (€ 7,469.38), 18% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Walter Salter - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Waterloo Banquet, 1836, which sold at auction in October 2005 for GBP 13,200.00 (€ 19,466.01).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im September 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of General Sir Arthur Clifton, K.C.B., K.C.H., full-length, in uniform, holding a plumed hat in his right hand and a sword in his left, in a landscape von Walter Salter zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.700,00 (€ 7.469,38) und damit 18% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Walter Salter mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Waterloo Banquet, 1836 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2005 für GBP 13.200,00 (€ 19.466,01) versteigert wurde.
