Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by William Hounsom Byles could be acquired at Christies in London in May 2003 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Sporting Art auction, the work The Grand National, 1927 changed hands for GBP 3,346.00 (€ 4,661.82) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William Hounsom Byles - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Gold Cup, 1923; The 2000 Guineas Stakes, 1923; The 141st renewal of the Oakes Stakes, 1923; The Lincolnshire Handicap, 1923; and The Kempton Park Great Jubilee Handicap, 1923, which sold at auction in June 2002 for GBP 7,050.00 (€ 10,904.75).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von William Hounsom Byles konnte im Mai 2003 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Sporting Art wechselte die Arbeit The Grand National, 1927 für GBP 3.346,00 (€ 4.661,82) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von William Hounsom Byles mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Gold Cup, 1923; The 2000 Guineas Stakes, 1923; The 141st renewal of the Oakes Stakes, 1923; The Lincolnshire Handicap, 1923; and The Kempton Park Great Jubilee Handicap, 1923 beobachtet, die im Juni 2002 für GBP 7.050,00 (€ 10.904,75) versteigert wurde.
