Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2008 Christies in London held the auction Maritime, which included the work A brig running under full sail in the Mediterranean by Thomas Buttersworth, Sen.. The price achieved of GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,180.11) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Thomas Buttersworth, Sen. achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Nelson's patent bridge for boarding First Rates' at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, 14th February, 1797 in May 2003 with an auction result of GBP 24,675.00 (€ 34,378.49).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime durch, in der auch die Arbeit A brig running under full sail in the Mediterranean von Thomas Buttersworth, Sen. zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.500,00 (€ 3.180,11) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Thomas Buttersworth, Sen. erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Nelson's patent bridge for boarding First Rates' at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, 14th February, 1797 im Mai 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 24.675,00 (€ 34.378,49).
