Sold at the lower estimate price

The work The nation gives thanks for the recovery of the King, Westminster Abbey by Fortunino Matania was sold in the Christie's Interiors auction at Christies in London in October 2014. The result of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,276.86) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fortunino Matania achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Complete Set of Illustrations For The Tinker'S Wig in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 11,760.00 (€ 17,429.06).

Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis

Die Arbeit The nation gives thanks for the recovery of the King, Westminster Abbey von Fortunino Matania wurde im Oktober 2014 in der Auktion Christie's Interiors bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.276,86) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fortunino Matania erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Complete Set of Illustrations For The Tinker'S Wig im Juni 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 11.760,00 (€ 17.429,06).
