Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by George Chinnery achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May this year. In the Three Private Collections: Belgravia, Berkshire and Guernsey auction, the work A watchman at a lookout post, Bengal sold for GBP 8,820.00 (€ 10,262.13) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Chinnery achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Reeves Macao Album, 1836-1837 in July 2006 with an auction result of GBP 332,800.00 (€ 487,180.19).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Chinnery erzielte im Mai diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Three Private Collections: Belgravia, Berkshire and Guernsey wurde die Arbeit A watchman at a lookout post, Bengal für GBP 8.820,00 (€ 10.262,13) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Chinnery erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Reeves Macao Album, 1836-1837 im Juli 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 332.800,00 (€ 487.180,19).
