condition reports. Requests for condition reports must be submitted
by 4pm on the day prior to the auction.

from £150,001 up to and including £1,000,000, and 12% of the hammer
price (14.4% including VAT) in excess of £1,000,001. In the event that
a lot has an asterisk (*) beside the lot number in the catalogue, this
indicates that the item is owned by an entity or company required
to pay VAT (generally not an Antique Dealer, as they operate under a
dealer’s margin scheme). VAT is payable at 20% on the hammer price.
Lots marked with a double asterisk (**) have been imported from outside

VAT at the rate of 5% on the Hammer Price and the Buyers Premium.

DONNINGTON PRIORY
Cherkley Court
This sale includes selected contents from Cherkley
Court, the former home of Lord Beaverbrook, being
sold on behalf of The Beaverbrook Foundation (CIO).
Cherkley Court is a late Victorian mansion, set amongst
prime parkland in Leatherhead, Surrey. It was originally
built in 1866 and rebuilt in the French Chateau style
in 1893 following a fire. In 1911 it was bought by Lord
Beaverbrook, the owner of The Express Newspaper
group, Minister for Information in the First World
War, Minister of Aircraft in the Second World War,
powerbroker and kingmaker.
Beaverbrook’s power and influence ensured that
Cherkley was a hub of activity with the good and the
great of the time. Visitors included notable politicians,
writers and musicians including Winston Churchill,
Bonar Law, Lloyd George, Chamberlain, HG Wells, Joe
Kennedy, Rudyard Kipling and Ian Fleming.
The Beaverbrook Foundation undertook a total
refurbishment programme of the property ensuring
that the house was opened to the public for a number
of years at the end of the 2000s. The Foundation sold
Cherkley to enable it to focus on its core purpose of
making charitable grants.

ARDENT 1897 below a naval coronet and
Henry Farley, PO 1st. from KK, the buoy

HMS Ardent was a 280 ton destroyer. She
was built at Chiswick in 1894 and was sold
in 1911. The patent refers to E. Emanuel’s
patent of 11 April 1896. The boatswain’s
call has a long history both as a symbol
of office and as a practical instrument for
conveying orders at sea. Its distinctive
shape has remained practically unchanged
from medieval times to the present day.
The call’s shrill whistle can be varied in pitch
to convey a variety of information, and can
be heard above the sound of wind and sea.
Such instruments were private possessions
rather than official equipment and silver
calls like this one made suitable gifts and
presentation pieces.

Giacomo Raffaelli (1753-1836) came from a family who worked for the Studio del
Mosaico della Fabbrica della Basilica di S. Pietro in Rome. He is credited with many
of the innovations in mosaici in piccolo, although it is probable some had been
developed a little earlier. In 1775 Raffaelli held the first recorded exhibition of
micromosaics at his private studio in the Piazza di Spagna. His subject matter was
varied, from birds, flowers and animals, to views of the monuments of Rome, all of
which were popular with Grand Tourists.

The Type 20 was a specification of wristwatch set out
by the French Ministry of Defence. These were issued
to the pilots and flight crew of the French Air Force,
French National Navy and French Flight Tests Center. The
watches remained property of the army and were issued
like any other piece of equipment. The standard model
for the French Air Force was fitted with an unsigned
dial. Four companies supplied the Type 20 to the armed
forces, Vixa, Breguet, J. Auricoste and Dodane. Breguet
were commissioned to produce 2000 watches by the
government in 1954.
The specifications for the Type 20 were that the watch was
accurate to at least 8 seconds per day, a power reserve of
at least 35 hours, to include the flyback function and the
ability to operate satisfactorily at least 300 times.
Due to the use of these watches they had to be serviced
regularly. The date for the next scheduled service was
stamped on the case back next to the letters FG. This
stood for fin de garantie, which translates to end of
warranty. This watch has six dates stamped to the case
back.

The notices below form part of our Conditions of Business as printed in the catalogue, and potential bidders must acquaint themselves with these notices
prior to bidding. The condition of any lot falling within the notices as outlined may not be deemed sufficient reason to return the lot to us. Please note that
Dreweatts are unable to give any further verbal condition reports or comment for any lot, and all condition reports and requests must be submitted in
writing to via our website www.dreweatts.com, or by fax on 01635 553 599.
IMPORTANT NOTICES TO WATCH BUYERS
Damage, Restoration, Alteration
Import/Export Restrictions
Although every effort is made to note any damage, restoration or
alterations, the absence of any such information in catalogue descriptions
does not imply the lot is in perfect condition and free from any such
defects. Prospective buyers should satisfy themselves as to the condition
of any lot prior to bidding. All watches are serviced from time to time, and
Dreweatts are unable to guarantee that the working parts of any watch
movement, glass or crystal, winding crowns, watch bracelet, strap or
buckle are the manufacturers’ original parts, unless otherwise stated in the
catalogue description. We are unable to make any representation in our
catalogue descriptions or condition reports as to the authenticty of such
parts. Dreweatts are unable to make any represenation, nor make any
comment on, the authenticity of diamonds, or other gemstones, set into
watch dials, bezels, cases and bracelets.
There maybe Import Resrictions into some territories outside the United
Kingdom placed on certain watch brands, or on the importation of
watches with straps composed of animal skins which may fall under CITES
Regulations. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to comply with all Export/
Import regulations and potential bidders are strongly recommended to
check with their shipping agent as to any such regulations that may apply
to any lot. Dreweatts are not shippers and are unable to offer any advice
regarding such regulations.
Authentication
All watch movements have been inspected by Dreweatts watchmaker and
specialists, and we have verified all inventory and movement numbers. For
the information of potential bidders, all inventory and movement numbers
are listed in the catalogue description for the relevant lot.
Condition Reports
Dreweatts condition reports will identify whether a watch functions at
the time of cataloguing, and suggest possible, but not comprehensive,
restoration work that may need to be carried out for the watch to function
properly. Dreweatts are unable to test watches for accuracy or running
to time, and we cannot guarantee that any watch will function when
purchased form us.
As we have examined all watch movements by removing the case backs,
we cannot guarantee that water resistant watches will remain water
resistant following purchase from us. Dreweatts recommend that any
watch purchased from us is subsequently overhauled by a competent
watchmaker to ensure proper functioning.
IMPORTANT NOTICES TO JEWELLERY BUYERS
Damage, Restoration, Alteration
Weights
Although every effort is made to note any damage, restoration or
alterations, the absence of any such information in catalogue descriptions
does not imply the lot is in perfect condition and free for any such defects.
Prospective buyers should satisfy themselves as to the condition of any lot
prior to bidding.
All gram weights have been obtained using an electronic balance, but
weights stated in the catalogue are approximate and for guidance only,
and potential bidders should satisfy themselves as to their accuracy.
Enhancement
Prospective bidders should be aware than many coloured gems have been
historically treated by a variety of methods to improve their appearance,
both in terms of colour and transparency. Rubies and sapphires are routinely
heat treated, emeralds and enhanced through the use of coloured and
transparent oils and resins, and jadiete is routinely stained. These treatments,
and others including irradiation and coating, are generally accepted by
the jewellery trade as standard practice. Although most treatments are
considered to be permanent, those gemstones which have been oiled may
need to be re-treated to maintain their appearance. Any such treatments
affect the market value of coloured gemstones, and Dreweatts pre-sale
estimates published in the catalogue assume that all gemstones, unless
otherwise stated in the catalogue, may have been enhanced. Dreweatts
may obtain Gemmological Reports from a recognised laboratory where
appropriate detailing any enhancements, or lack of, for certain gemstones,
and such reports may be obtained for prospective bidders prior to the sale,
provided such requests are made at least three weeks before the sale, and
that the requesting party has pre-paid for such a report. However it is not
possible for Dreweatts to obtain reports for every stone offered in the sale.
In the absence of a gemmological laboratory report, it is not possible for
Dreweatts to make any comment on the possibility that any gemstone in
any lot may have been subject to enhancement.
Dreweatts catalogue descriptions and condition reports adhere to the
guidelines laid out in the ‘Blue Book’ of CIBJO, the International Jewellery
Confederation.
‘…approximately 1.20 carats total,…’ all such stone weights are estimated
using standard equipment and formulae, and are subject to the limitations
imposed by the mount.
‘…weighing 1.20 carats,…’ where the description reads as such, the stones
in question have been removed from the mount and weighted using an
electronic balance.
Signatures
‘…by Lacloche,…’ in our opinion is a piece made by or for the jeweller,
bearing relevant signatures, maker’s marks, and where appropriate, the
maker’s inventory number/s.
‘…signed Lacloche,…’ in our opinion is a piece retained by the jeweller,
but not necessarily made by them. This may also mean that the piece has
been mounted by the jeweler using stones supplied by the client; a special
commission from a client’s design; or has been altered or later added to.
Coloured Stones of Burma (Myanmar) Origin
Buyers should be aware that certain territories (notably the United States
of America) have import restrictions on certain coloured gemstones. All
gemstones that maybe of Burma (Myanmar) origin, notably rubies and
jadeite, may require a certificate of origin before they can be imported.
Prospective bidders for such gemstones should check with their shipper,
and relevant Government authorities regarding any necessary certification
prior to bidding. Whilst Dreweatts are able to suggest a number of
Gemmological Laboratories for such certificaion, we are unable to carry
out any such certification for potential bidders or buyers.
Detailed condition reports for all lots are available from our website www.dreweatts.com, and upon direct request to the Saleroom.
Please note that Dreweatts are unable to give verbal condition reports for any lot, and all condition reports will be given in writing via our
website www.dreweatts.com, or by fax (fax no: 01635 553 599). Dreweatts jewellery specialists and qualified gemmologists are available
during the view to answer any queries.
Dreweatts are unable to offer any form of packing, dispatch or shipping services, and clients should make their own collection arrangements for
purchased lots. Dreweatts are happy to suggest the services of a number of dispatch and shipping carriers.
102
These Conditions of Sale and Business constitute the contract between Dreweatts and Bloomsbury Auctions (the “Auctioneer”) and the seller, on the one
hand, and the buyer on the other. By bidding at the auction, you agree to be bound by these terms.
INFORMATION FOR BUYERS
1. Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly
those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All sales are conducted on our printed
Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection and normally accompany
catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully
understand.
2. Agency. As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for
reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly if you buy your primary
contract is with the seller.
3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be
involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve
price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or
VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be
altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive.
4. Buyer’s Premium. The Buyer agrees to pay a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot
purchased. The buyer’s premium is charged per lot at 24% of the hammer price (28.8% including
VAT) up to and including £150,000, 18% (21.6% including VAT) of the hammer price from £150,001
up to and including £1,000,000, and 12% of the hammer price (14.4% including VAT) in excess of
£1,000,001. VAT at the prevailing rate of 20% is added to all of these premiums and additional
charges as defined below.
5. VAT. (*) indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate (presently
20%) on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer’s premium. This
imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT within the European
Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on
importation into the UK. The double symbol (**) indicates that the lot has been imported
from outside the European Union and the present position is that these lots are liable to
a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer’s
premium). Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is
payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’
Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the Premium is not
recoverable as input tax.
6.
Descriptions and Conditions. Condition reports are provided on our website or upon
request. The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. The
detail in a report will reflect the estimated value of the lot, and large numbers of such
requests received shortly before the sale may not receive a response to all lots. Members
of staff are not trained restorers or conservators and, particularly for higher value lots, you
should obtain an opinion from such a professional. We recommend that you always view a
lot in person.
We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided by the
seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about
them we are normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots in order
to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending
buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility
for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Please note carefully
the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither
the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In
particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order.
However, in so far as we have examined the goods and make a representation about their
condition, we shall be liable for any defect which that examination ought to have revealed
to the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer had the buyer
examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstances lots misdescribed because
they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is a 3 week time
limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale).
7. Electrical goods. These are sold as ‘antiques’ only and if bought for use must be checked
over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first.
8.
Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export=
licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of
that character because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if
you need help.
9.
Bidding. Bidders may be required to register before the sale commences and lots will be
invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification
may be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our
arrangements for telephone bidding.
10. Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the
maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers’ premium. They will be executed as cheaply
as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit
identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire
in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or fax.
11. Methods of Payment. The following methods of payment are acceptable.
Debit Card drawn on a UK bank and registered to a UK billing address. There is no
additional charge for purchases made with these cards.
Bank transfer direct into our bank account, all transfers must state the relevant
sale number, lot number and your bid / paddle number. If transferring from a foreign
currency, the amount we receive must be the total due in pounds sterling (after currency
conversion and the deduction of any bank charges). Our bank details can be found on the
front or your invoice or in the sale catalogue under ‘Important Notices’.
Sterling cash payments of up to £12,000 (subject to money laundering regulations). All
major UK issued credit cards registered to a UK billing address with the exception of
American Express and Diners Club. A surcharge of 3% is payable on all payments made
by credit cards. Sterling personal cheques drawn on a UK bank account and made payable
to ‘Dreweatts 1759’. It will be necessary to allow at least six working days for the
cheque to clear before collecting your purchases.
12. Collection and storage. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection
and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected promptly. Any delay may
involve the buyer in paying storage charges.
13.
Droit de suite royalty charges. From 1st January 2012 all UK art market professionals
(which includes but is not limited to; auctioneers, dealers, galleries, agents and other
intermediaries) are required to collect a royalty payment for all works of art that have been
produced by qualifying artists each time a work is re-sold during the artist’s lifetime and for
a period up to 70 years following the artists death. This payment is only calculated on
qualifying works of art which are sold for a hammer price more than the UK sterling
equivalent of EURO 1,000 – the UK sterling equivalent will fluctuate in line with prevailing
exchange rates.
It is entirely the responsibility of the buyer to acquaint himself with the precise EURO to
UK Sterling exchange rate on the day of the sale in this regard, and the auctioneer accepts
no responsibility whatsoever if the qualifying rate is different to the rate indicated.
All items in this catalogue that are marked with δ are potentially qualifying items, and
the royalty charge will be applied if the hammer price achieved is more than the UK sterling
equivalent of EURO 1,000.The royalty charge will be added to all relevant buyers’ invoices,
and must be paid before items can be cleared. All royalty charges are passed on to the
Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’), no handling costs or additional fees with
respect to these charges will be retained by the auctioneers.
The royalty charge that will be applied to qualifying items which achieve a hammer price of
more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 1,000, but less than the UK sterling
equivalent of EURO 50,000 is 4%. For qualifying items that sell for more than the UK sterling
equivalent of EURO 50,000 a sliding scale of royalty charges will apply – for a complete
list of the royalty charges and threshold levels, please see www.dacs.org.uk. There is no
VAT payable on this royalty charge.
TERMS OF CONSIGNMENT FOR SELLERS
1. Interpretation. In these Terms the words ‘you’, ‘yours’, etc. refer to the Seller and if the
consignment of goods to us is made by an agent we assume that the Seller has authorised
the consignment and that the consignor has the Seller’s authority to contract. Similarly the
words ‘we’, ‘us’, etc. refer to the Auctioneers.
2. Warranty. The Seller warrants that possession in the lots can be transferred to the Buyer
with good and marketable title, free from any third party right and encumbrances, claims
or potential claims. The Seller has provided all information concerning the items
ownership, condition and provenance, attribution, authenticity, import or export history
and of any concerns expressed by third parties concerning the same.
3. All commissions and fees are subject to VAT at the prevailing rate.
4. Commission is charged to sellers at the following rates:- please enquire at our salerooms.
5. Removal costs. Items for sale must be consigned to the saleroom by any stated deadline
and at your expense. We may be able to assist you with this process but any liability
incurred to a carrier for haulage charges is solely your responsibility.
6. Loss and damage of goods.
(a)Loss and Damage Warranty - Dreweatts is not authorised by the FSA to provide
insurance to its clients, and does not do so. However Dreweatts for its own protection,
assumes liability for property consigned to it at the lower pre-sale estimate until the
hammer falls. To justify accepting liability, Dreweatts makes a charge of 1.5% of the
hammer price plus VAT, subject to a minimum charge of £1.50, or if unsold 1.5% of
our lower estimate. The liability assumed by Dreweatts shall be limited to the lower pre sale estimate or the hammer price if the lot is sold.
(b)If the owner of the goods consigned instructs us in writing not to take such action, the
goods then remain entirely at the owners risk unless and until the property in them
passes to the Buyer or they are collected by or on behalf of the owner, and clause 6 (a) is
inapplicable.
7. Illustrations. The cost of any illustrations is borne by you. If we consider that the Lot should
be illustrated your permission will be asked first. The copyright in respect of such
illustrations shall be the property of us, the auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue.
8. Minimum bids and our discretion. Goods will normally be offered subject to a reserve
agreed between us before the sale in accordance with clause 9. We may sell Lots below the
reserve provided we account to you for the same sale proceeds as you would have received
had the reserve been the hammer price. If you specifically give us a “discretion” we may
accept a bid of up to 10% below the formal reserve.
9. Reserves.
(a)You are entitled to place prior to the auction a reserve on any lot consigned, being the
minimum hammer price at which that lot may be sold. Reserves must be reasonable
and we may decline to offer goods which in our opinion would be subject to an
unreasonably high reserve (in which case goods carry the storage and loss and damage
warranty charges stipulated in these Terms of Consignment).
(b)A reserve once set cannot be changed except with our consent.
(c)Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf and only up to the
reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances bid personally.
(d)Reserves are not usually accepted for lots expected to realise below £100
10. Electrical items. These are subject to detailed statutory safety controls. Where such items
are accepted for sale you accept responsibility for the cost of testing by external contractors.
Goods not certified as safe by an electrician (unless antiques) will not be accepted for sale.
They must be removed at your expense on your being notified. We reserve the right to
dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense.
11. Soft furnishings. Soft furnishings. The sale of soft furnishings is strictly regulated by
statute law in the interests of fire safety. Goods found to infringe safety regulations will not
be offered and must be removed at your expense. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe
goods as refuse, at your expense.
The rights of disposal referred to in clause 10 and 11 are subject to the provisions of The
Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, Schedule 1, a copy of which is available for
inspection on request
12. Descriptions. Please assist us with accurate information as to the provenance etc. of
goods where this is relevant. There is strict liability for the accuracy of descriptions under
modern consumer legislation and in some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if
inaccuracies occur. We will assume that you have approved the catalogue description of
your lots unless informed to the contrary. Where we are obliged to return the price to the
buyer when the lot is a deliberate forgery under Condition 15 of the Conditions of Sale and
we have accounted to you for the proceeds of sale you agree to reimburse us the sale proceeds.
13. Unsold. Unsold. If an item is unsold it may at our discretion be re-offered at a future sale.
Where in our opinion an item is unsaleable you must collect such items from the saleroom
promptly on being so informed. Otherwise, storage charges may be incurred. We reserve
the right to charge for storage in these circumstances at a reasonable daily rate.
14. Withdrawn and bought in items. These are liable to incur a charge of 15% commission,
1.5 % Loss and Damage Warranty and any other costs incurred including but not limited to
illustration and restoration fees all of these charges being subject to VAT on being bought
in or withdrawn after being catalogued.
15. Conditions of Sale. You agree that all goods will be sold on our Conditions of Sale. In
particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goods either as owner or agent
for the owner. You undertake to compensate us and any buyer or third party for all losses
liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of this
undertaking. We will also, at our discretion, and as far as practicable, confirm that an
item consigned for sale does not appear on the Art Loss register, which is administered by
an independent third party.
16. Authority to deduct commission and expenses and retain premium and interest.
(a)You authorise us to deduct commission at the stated rate and all expenses incurred
for your account from the hammer price and consent to our right to retain beneficially
the premium paid by the buyer in accordance with our Conditions of Sale and any
interest earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement.
103
(b)You authorise us in our discretion to negotiate a sale by private treaty not later than the
close of business 48 hours after the day of sale in the case of lots unsold at auction, in
which case the same charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction
and so far as appropriate these Terms apply.
17. Warehousing. We disclaim all liability for goods delivered to our saleroom without sufficient
sale instructions and reserve the right to make minimum warehousing charge of £10 per
lot per day. Unsold lots are subject to the same charges if you do not remove them within a
reasonable time of notification. If not removed within three weeks we reserve the right to
sell them and defray charges from any net proceeds of sale or at your expense to consign
them to the local authority for disposal.
18. Settlement. After sale settlement of the net sum due to you normally takes place within 28
days of the sale (by crossed cheque to the seller) unless the buyer has not paid for the
goods. In this case no settlement will then be made but we will take your instructions in the
light of our Conditions of Sale. You authorise any sums owed by you to us on other
transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds. You must note the liability to reimburse
the proceeds of sale to us as under the circumstances provided for in Condition 12 above.
You should therefore bear this potential liability in mind before parting with the proceeds
of sale until the expiry of 28 days from the date of sale.

Third party liability. All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and
must note the lay-out of the accommodation and security arrangements. Accordingly neither
the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury
(except as required by law by reason of our negligence) or similarly for the safety of the
property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale.
10. Commission bids. Whilst prospective buyers are/\strongly advised to attend the auction and
are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular Lot and shall be assumed to have
carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we will if so instructed
clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer nor our
employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so.
Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in
our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made.
11. Warranty of title and availability. The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you that the
seller is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by the true
owner to consign for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property
free from any third party claims.

default by sellers or buyers.
13. Terms of sale. The seller acknowledges that Lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these
Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor
at the time of the entry of the Lot.
14. Descriptions and condition
(1)Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out
exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities
to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf )
must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective
buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us
as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling
price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and
reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject
to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller
accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties,
whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory,
are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning
deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”.
(2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for
purposes of consumer legislation.
15. Forgeries. Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate
forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it
is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from
the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied
from the evidence presented that the Lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money
paid by you for the Lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue
description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or
(2)you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have
no rights under this condition.
The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.
General
16.We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance
at our auctions by any person.
17.(1)Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and
as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall
be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate.
(2)Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of
employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them.
18. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail, email or
Swiftmail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48
hours after posting.
19.Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in
which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary
appearing at the commencement of the catalogue.
20.Any indulgence extended to bidders, buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict
terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the
relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects
these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect.
21. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
