Auction result well in line with expectations

In January 2009 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work A chance encounter by Thomas Baker of Leamington. The price achieved of GBP 1,750.00 (€ 1,969.91) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Baker of Leamington - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Monsale Dale, Derbyshire, which sold at auction in February 2013 for USD 10,000.00 (€ 7,645.84).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Januar 2009 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit A chance encounter von Thomas Baker of Leamington zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.750,00 (€ 1.969,91) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Thomas Baker of Leamington mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Monsale Dale, Derbyshire beobachtet, die im Februar 2013 für USD 10.000,00 (€ 7.645,84) versteigert wurde.
