Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2021 Christies in New York held the auction In Praise of America: Important American Furniture, Folk Art, Silver, Prints and Broadsides, which included the work George Washington by Charles Peale Polk. The price achieved of USD 268,750.00 (€ 221,466.83) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Peale Polk - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work George Washington, which sold at auction in January this year for USD 630,000.00 (€ 580,217.35).
