Auction result well in line with expectations

In January 2009 Christies in New York held the auction Maritime Decorative Arts, which included the work Asbury Fountain Passing Sandy Hook Lightship by Solon Francis Montecello Badger. It changed hands for a price of USD 4,750.00 (€ 3,709.78) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Solon Francis Montecello Badger - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The fishing schooner William H. Yerkes at sea, which sold at auction in February 2006 for USD 10,800.00 (€ 9,056.60).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Januar 2009 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Maritime Decorative Arts durch, in der auch die Arbeit Asbury Fountain Passing Sandy Hook Lightship von Solon Francis Montecello Badger zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 4.750,00 (€ 3.709,78) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Solon Francis Montecello Badger mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The fishing schooner William H. Yerkes at sea beobachtet, die im Februar 2006 für USD 10.800,00 (€ 9.056,60) versteigert wurde.
