III · How these figures are made
Method and checks
Terms
- Achieved price
- What the buyer paid, including the buyer’s premium: the auction house’s fee, paid by the buyer on top of the winning bid. Where a house publishes only the winning bid, we add its published buyer’s fee and show both.
- Sterling
- Each sale is converted at the Bank of England rate for its sale date. Where only the month or the year of sale is recorded, the sale says so. The rate sits beside every sale.
- Marked sale
- A real sale that is not an ordinary one, such as a whole collection sold at no reserve. It is counted, and shown with its reason.
- Scope
- Worldwide public auctions, so this is not a UK price. Past results only: no asking prices, no estimates, no averages, nothing about prices to come.
