Auction result well in line with expectations

In March 2001 Christies in London held the auction Objects of Vertu and Miniatures, which included the work Mrs. Adey, seated in a green upholstered chair, facing right in blue bordered cream silk dress with fichu, lace scarf tied around her neck, cream lace cap with white ribbons in her curled fair hair, her right arm resting on a white cashmere shawl by Alfred Edward Chalon. The price achieved of GBP 293.75 (€ 474.00) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 250.00 – 350.00. Admittedly, works by Alfred Edward Chalon have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Ballerinas of the last century: "The Three Graces" - Marie Taglioni, Carlotta Grisi and Amalia Ferraris in December 2004 with an auction result of GBP 1,792.50 (€ 2,536.88).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im März 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion Objects of Vertu and Miniatures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mrs. Adey, seated in a green upholstered chair, facing right in blue bordered cream silk dress with fichu, lace scarf tied around her neck, cream lace cap with white ribbons in her curled fair hair, her right arm resting on a white cashmere shawl von Alfred Edward Chalon zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 293,75 (€ 474,00) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 250,00 – 350,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alfred Edward Chalon auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Ballerinas of the last century: "The Three Graces" - Marie Taglioni, Carlotta Grisi and Amalia Ferraris im Dezember 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.792,50 (€ 2.536,88).
