Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2008 Christies in New York held the auction Maritime Art, which included the work Clipper Ship in Full Sail passing a Lightship by Samuel John Milton Brown. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,625.00 (€ 1,167.47) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Samuel John Milton Brown - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work "Britain's empire watch dog"; and "Britain's old time pride and glory" - H.M.S. Victory (illustrated), which sold at auction in May 2011 for GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,002.26).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2008 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Maritime Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Clipper Ship in Full Sail passing a Lightship von Samuel John Milton Brown zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.625,00 (€ 1.167,47) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Samuel John Milton Brown mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit "Britain's empire watch dog"; and "Britain's old time pride and glory" - H.M.S. Victory (illustrated) beobachtet, die im Mai 2011 für GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.002,26) versteigert wurde.
