Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2009 Christies in London held the auction The Sunday Sale - Property of the Late Monty Lewis, removed from Hyver Manor & Property of the Late Dr. William Lindsaygordon, which included the work A Pair of Ceramic Tiles, 1872-1881 by William de Morgan. The price achieved of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,078.35) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Admittedly, works by William de Morgan have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Perseus and Andromeda in February 2003 with an auction result of GBP 4,780.00 (€ 6,978.65).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2009 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Sunday Sale - Property of the Late Monty Lewis, removed from Hyver Manor & Property of the Late Dr. William Lindsaygordon durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Pair of Ceramic Tiles, 1872-1881 von William de Morgan zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.078,35) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William de Morgan auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Perseus and Andromeda im Februar 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.780,00 (€ 6.978,65).
