A BRONZE SUN-MIRROR, YANG SHUI

QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY OR EARLIER

清代或更早陽燧鏡

The Yangshui mirror, is an ancient Chinese bronze mirror with unique reflective and symbolic properties. Known as the 'sunlight ignition mirror,' it was designed with a concave surface that could concentrate sunlight to produce fire. This capability gave it a sacred status in Chinese culture, where it was often used in rituals and as a symbol of divine power and protection. Yangshui mirrors, especially prized for their craftsmanship, were believed to harness and reflect positive energy, acting as talismans against negative forces. The provenance of this piece, from the Cai Zhefu (Choi Jit Fu) Collection, adds historical significance, as it reflects both cultural heritage and craftsmanship passed through generations.

L:8.5cm, W:4.5cm

陽燧鏡，是一種古代中國青銅鏡，因其獨特的反射和象徵性而備受珍視。陽燧鏡通過凹面設計將陽光聚焦，能夠點燃火源，因此在中國文化中具有神聖地位，常用於祭祀儀式，象徵神聖的力量和保護。陽燧鏡不僅工藝精湛，還被認為具有聚集和反射正能量的功能，作為驅邪避災的護身符而廣泛使用。這件藏品來自蔡哲夫（蔡杰夫）收藏，其傳承更增添了歷史意義，反映出代代相傳的文化遺產和精湛工藝。

Originally named Xun, he later changed his name to You Shou, with courtesy names Qi Bi and Zhe Fu, drawing inspiration from the Book of Songs phrase 'the wise man fortifies the city,' which led him to adopt the style name Chengchengzi. He led a dashing life, remembered most vividly for his remarkable partnership with his wife, Zhang Qingcheng (whose name is inspired by the Book of Songs phrase 'the virtuous woman captivates the city'), and with Rujun Tan Yue Se (also known as Tan Rongrong, after Yan Shu's line 'The courtyard of pear blossoms under the soft moon'). The three were celebrated for their mastery of the 'Three Arts' and were all members of the Southern Society, with their shared talents becoming legendary.

AN EXCEPTIONAL FAMILLE ROSE ENAMELED PRESENTATION VASE

REPUBLIC PERIOD, DATED BY INSCRIPTION TO 1947

民國蔣介石定製金地粉彩開光四季山水雙耳瓶

Approx Height 38.5cm

This vase, with its noble and graceful shape, features exquisite double handles attached between the rim and shoulders. The entire piece is richly decorated, with a splendid array of colours that create an immediate impression reminiscent of the grandeur of Qianlong imperial porcelain. The belly of the vase is adorned with symmetrically curling Western-style flowers against a gilded background, exuding a golden brilliance. Each side has a begonia-shaped cartouche, delicately painted with auspicious scenes depicting the Four Occupations (fisherman, woodcutter, farmer, and scholar) along with symbolic motifs like 'Spring Swallows in the Apricot Grove' and 'Pines and Cranes for Longevity.' The artwork is finely executed, with elegant and refined colours that lend a sense of literati charm and symbolic auspiciousness, embodying the profound essence of Chinese traditional culture. The base bears a red 'Year 36 of the Republic of China' inscription in seal script, along with a 'Zhongzheng' red stamp within a single frame. The intricate seal script adds a touch of refined antiquity. The porcelain body is dense and delicate, and the glaze is lustrous and smooth, making it a quintessential masterpiece.

This piece is part of the 'Victory Commemorative Porcelain' series commissioned by the Nationalist Government in 1947, created specifically as gifts for political leaders from allied nations in commemoration of China's victory in WWII. After the victory in 1945, China's international standing reached unprecedented heights, prompting the government to showcase its national elegance and to strengthen diplomatic ties. In August 1946, Chiang Kai-shek summoned Wang Fan, principal of the Jiangxi Provincial Ceramic School, to instruct Jingdezhen to produce commemorative porcelain for gifting to Allied leaders. This project became known as the 'Victory Commemorative Porcelain' or 'Nationalist Diplomatic Porcelain.' Chiang's specific instructions were detailed in a dispatch published on the 25th in The Republic Daily: 'The Chairman values the renowned porcelain of Jingdezhen (Central News Agency, Kuling, 24th) and instructed that the former imperial kilns of Jingdezhen be converted to national porcelain kilns. Chairman Chiang, concerned for the status of the porcelain industry, stated that the country should, in this time of victory, distribute fine porcelain to Allied nations as a tribute. These pieces must emulate the style of Qianlong-era works, with thin porcelain and refined colours. Chairman Chiang directed Principal Wang to expedite arrangements with the Jiangxi government to initiate the project.' The pieces had to match the elegance of Qianlong's imperial ceramics, intended to showcase Jingdezhen's craftsmanship to the world. This commission was highly prioritized by the Jiangxi government, which appointed dedicated designers and craftsmen, including renowned ceramic master Peng Youxian. Six types of porcelain were finalized: 30

bat-ear flasks, 10 shield-handle vases, 60 wall plaques, 400 peach bowls, four sets of banquet wares, and two 'Victory' tableware sets. The shieldhandle vase, designed by the Provincial Ceramic School, was particularly rare, with only ten pieces made. Known also as the 'Victory Cup,' its form was inspired by Tang dynasty phoenix-head vases and Western trophies, symbolizing the celebration of China's triumph. Given its rarity, meticulous craftsmanship, and historical significance, this piece stands as a pinnacle of Republic-era porcelain.

此瓶造型尊貴秀麗，雙耳精巧別緻，附於口沿與肩部之間。整器裝飾極其繁複華麗，色彩豐富，予人以乾隆御瓷重現之感。瓶腹以本金為地，繪製對稱洋花，金碧輝煌。四面設有海棠形開光，內繪漁樵耕讀圖、杏林春燕、松鶴延年等吉祥圖案，工藝精緻，色調雅致清麗，既具文人雅韻，又呈祥禽瑞意，展現出濃厚的中國傳統文化意蘊。底部紅彩篆書「中華民國三十六年」款，並鈐有「中正」紅章，篆書古樸精妙。胎體堅密細膩，釉質瑩潤，堪稱瓷中佳品。

此件為1947年國民政府訂製的「抗戰勝利紀念瓷」之一，專為饋贈盟國政要而製，意義非凡。1945年抗戰勝利後，中國的國際地位空前提升，為彰顯大國風範，加強國際交往，次年8月蔣介石在廬山召見江西省陶業學校校長汪璠，指示景德鎮燒造抗戰勝利紀念瓷，以贈送盟國首腦。蔣介石在指示中特別要求此批瓷器仿乾隆御瓷風格，瓷質要細薄，色調須高雅，以展示乾隆盛世瓷藝水平。

江西省政府對此事高度重視，成立勝利瓷委員會負責設計與生產，並由知名陶瓷工藝大師彭友賢等人參與設計，收集歷代瓷器樣式及圖案，最終定型六種瓷器：蝠耳斛桶瓶30件、雙耳盾式瓶10件、掛盤60件、壽桃碗400件、萬花餐具4套、勝利餐具2套。民國三十六年三月起，禮品瓷開始製作，各瓷種分別由陶校及景德鎮各大窯廠製作，白胎加彩工序則由陶校師生精工繪製，歷經數月完成，耗費黃金甚巨，成品更勝設計之美，蔣介石對此非常滿意。之後，這批瓷器以國家或蔣氏夫婦名義分別贈送給美國總統杜魯門、特使馬歇爾以及英、法、蘇等國元首，受到海外讚譽，取得了顯著的外交成效。

此批「中正款」國禮瓷並未全部送予大國政要，部分保留於兩岸三地：台北中正紀念館藏有五件，其中包括雙耳盾式瓶；景德鎮陶瓷館與江西省博物館亦有幾件展示。此類國禮瓷中的雙耳盾式瓶為稀世珍品，僅存世十件，為創新器型，寓意慶祝抗戰勝利，是當時精心設計的代表作。

A RARE PAIR OF SILVER HOOKS, MARKED TIANDE HUANG

QING

DYNASTY, 19TH CENTURY

晚清天德黄款银製帐鉤

L:29.5cm, W:15.5cm (x 2), Weight 300g

This rare pair of silver belt hooks bears the inscriptions 'Tiande Huang' and 'Taipingxinji,' linking them to the brief Tiande era (April 28, 1853October 7, 1853), a time named by Huang Demei, a prominent leader of the Xiaodao Hui, a faction of the Tiandihui (Heaven and Earth Society) in Fujian Province during the late Qing Dynasty. Huang's Xiaodao Hui gained influence by uniting with other regional movements against the oppressive social and political structures of the time. The era name Tiande ('Virtue of Heaven') symbolized a call for moral restoration and divine endorsement of their cause.

Lasting only seven months, the Tiande era concluded in 1853, with proclamations of the time bearing the title 'Tiande, Year of GuiChou,' referencing the cyclical Chinese calendar. The brevity and regional specificity of this period make artifacts inscribed with 'Tiande' exceptionally rare. The use of the Tiande name by various branches of the Xiaodao Hui and affiliated societies makes objects marked with this inscription notable relics of a tumultuous period in Qing history. Silver artifacts like these may have served as symbols of loyalty and defiance. This period was also shaped by Huang Wei, a minor merchant from Guankou who, alongside his sworn brother Huang Demei, joined the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement on April 8, 1853, by rallying support in Haicheng and capturing Zhangzhou, Tong'an, Xiamen, and Zhangpu. Huang Wei later declared himself the 'Commander-in-Chief of the Han Ming Forces' in Xiamen, appointing Huang Demei as 'Supreme Leader,' while abolishing harsh taxes and proposing an alliance with the Taiping forcesóan alliance that ultimately failed. Huang's leadership had a lasting impact, influencing revolts such as Liu Lichuan's Small Sword Society uprising in Shanghai. During this period, Huang Wei's rebellion synchronized with uprisings by the Red Coin Society under Lin Wanqing and the Tiandihui on Taiwan led by Lin Gong, all of which used the 'Tiande' era name.

After the Qing forces reclaimed Xiamen on October 7, Huang Demei was captured and killed. Huang Wei managed to escape by sea, leading a five-year guerrilla campaign before retreating to Annam (now Vietnam) in 1858 and later moving to Indonesia. These belt hooks, therefore, are rare artifacts linked to a brief but impactful moment of resistance during the late Qing Dynasty.

這對罕見的銀製帐鉤上刻有「天德黄」和「太平心記」的銘文，將其與短暫的「天德」年號（1853年4月28日 - 1853年10月7日）聯繫起來。此年號由清朝晚期福建省天地會的一個派系——小刀會的重要領袖黃德美所命名。黃德美的小刀會透過聯合其他地區運動，反抗當時壓迫性的社會與政治結構，因而在當地獲得了較大的影響力。「天德」這一名稱象徵了對道德重建的呼籲，並傳達了他們所認為的神聖支持。

「天德」年號僅維持了七個月，於1853年結束，並以「癸丑天德元年」之名留存於當時的公告中。由於此年號的短暫性與地區性，帶有「天德」銘文的文物極其稀有。小刀會及相關組織分支使用「天德」年號，使帶有此銘文的物件成為清朝歷史上一段動盪時期的珍貴遺物。此類銀製物品或許曾作為忠誠與反抗的象徵。

此時期也因另一領袖黃威的參與而更具影響力。黃威，為來自官口的商人，於1853年4月8日加入太平天國運動，並在海澄號召群眾，先後攻克漳州、同安、廈門與漳浦。隨後黃威在廈門自稱「漢明大統帥」，並任命黃德美為「大元帥」，廢除苛捐雜稅並提議與太平軍結盟，但最終未果。黃威的領導留下了深遠影響，啟發了劉麗川在上海發動的小刀會起義。在此期間，黃威的起義與林萬青率領的紅錢會以及由林恭領導的台灣天地會的起事相呼應，皆使用「天德」年號。

1853年10月7日，清軍重奪廈門，黃德美被俘並處死。黃威則成功海逃，進行了五年的游擊戰，直至1858年撤往安南（今越南），隨後遷居印尼。因此，這些帶鉤成為與清朝末年一段短暫而具影響力的反抗時期相關的珍稀文物。

A RARE WHITE-GLAZED FOLIATE-RIMMED VASE

NORTHERN SONG-JIN DYNASTY (AD 960-1234)

The vase's ovoid body features a bow-string band encircling the shoulder, while the tall trumpet-shaped neck flares out to an undulating rim adorned with additional bow-string incisions. The entire piece rests on a high, spreading foot. It is coated with a creamy-white glaze that extends into the mouth and onto the base.

This exceptionally rare vase is attributed to the Northern Song period, evidenced by its precise craftsmanship, white body, and ivory-toned glaze. Without additional decoration, the vase's aesthetic appeal is drawn from its refined form, balanced proportions, and exquisite glaze colour. Vases of this form are known as hua kou ping (vase with foliate mouth rim). This distinctive shape originated in the Tang dynasty and gained popularity across various kilns during the Song dynasty.

清雍正釉裏紅三多碗

This exquisite Yongzheng-era bowl is finely crafted with gently rounded sides that ascend to a subtly flared rim. It bears the Yongzheng sixcharacter mark in underglaze blue within a double circle, denoting its authenticity and period of manufacture (1723-1735). The bowl's exterior is adorned with the vibrant 'sanduo' motif, depicting a trio of auspicious fruits: a peach, a pomegranate, and a persimmon, rendered in a rich copper-red hue reminiscent of crushed strawberries. This artistic representation not only emphasizes prosperity and longevity but also showcases the superior ceramic techniques of the time.

Approx Diameter 19cm, Height 9cm

此件雍正時期的碗器以其卓越的工藝水準和豐富的文化意涵在清代瓷器中獨樹一幟。碗身設計簡約流暢，外壁圓潤，逐漸向上過渡至微微外敞的碗口，造型上展現出雍正時期對細緻和優雅的追求。碗底书有青花双圈六字款“大清雍正年制”，清晰標示出其為雍正朝官方燒製，並確保了其時期性和權威性。這一款識技法以青花呈現，不僅彰顯了清宮御用瓷器的製作規範，還顯示出雍正年間在款識布局上的嚴謹性。碗的外壁飾有精美的“三多”圖案，即桃子、石榴與柿子，這三種果實在中國傳統文化中各具吉祥意涵：桃象徵長壽，石榴寓意多子多孫，柿子則象徵事事如意。

这些果实以深沉的釉裏紅描绘，色澤濃烈而純粹，猶如壓碎的草莓般明亮鮮豔。這種銅紅色的釉料在燒製過程中對火候的控制極為嚴苛，體現出工匠們精湛的燒造技藝和深厚的製瓷經驗。

在技術層面，雍正時期的彩瓷製作以細膩精準著稱，講究色澤的純淨和圖案的生動表現。這件瓷碗所使用的銅紅彩是一種高難度的低溫釉下彩，燒製時必須在精確的氧化還原條件下進行，以確保紅彩不被氧化變黑，且在火候掌控上稍有偏差即可能導致成品不符標準，這也反映出雍正時期在御窯廠生產上的嚴格要求。

總體而言，這件雍正三多紋碗器不僅是技術與美學的結晶，也象徵了

清代皇室對繁榮、長壽及吉祥如意的文化追求。這樣的瓷器不僅作為實用之器，更是身份和地位的象徵，體現了清朝御窯廠在彩瓷製作技藝上的頂峰成就。

AN EXCEPTIONALLY IMPORTANT 'LANDSCAPE' SCROLL

BY ZHANG DAQIAN (CHINESE, 1899-1983)

張大千設色紙本仿宋沒骨山水軸

Hanging scroll, ink and colour on paper 54 x 36.5cm

Inscription: 'For Jing'an, as a request to create a 'boneless' style painting in imitation of Song masters for his wife, Lady Hui'an. Younger brother Yuan (Zhang Daqian).' Seal: Daqian Duanmu Hongliang's Inscription: 'Zhang Daqian Imitating Song Landscape Painting.'

Note: The dedicatee, 'Mr. Jing'an,' refers to Luo Wenmo (1902-1951), styled Jing'an, also known as the Master of Shuangqing Studio. A native of Rongxian, Sichuan, Luo studied under Liu Haisu and was a close friend of Zhang Daqian. He held several prominent positions, including teacher at Chengdu Art School and Sichuan First Normal School, president of the Shu Art Society, executive director of the Sichuan Fine Arts Association, secretary of the Sichuan Kuomintang Party, and secretary-general of the Sichuan Provincial Senate. His untimely death in 1951, under tragic circumstances, deeply saddened Zhang, who commemorated him in verse while residing in Hong Kong.

Zhang Daqian (1899-1983), from Neijiang, Sichuan, was a legendary Chinese painter and calligrapher. Proficient in painting, calligraphy, seal carving, and poetry, Zhang's style seamlessly merged meticulous brushwork with expressive freehand techniques. He later pioneered a groundbreaking 'splashed-ink and splashed-colour' style, earning the Western art world's admiration as the 'Oriental brush.' Together with his elder brother Zhang Shanzi, he founded the influential 'Dafengtang School,' leaving a profound impact on Chinese painting. Following his emigration, he was widely celebrated as 'A Daqian in 500 Years.'

Inscription by Duanmu Hongliang (1912-1996), originally named Cao Hanwen, who later changed his name to Cao Jingping in admiration of Qu Yuan. Known by various pen names, including Quan Ye, Luo Xuan, Xin Ren, Ye Zhilin, and Cao Ping, Duanmu was a Manchu writer and scholar of Dream of the Red Chamber, originally from Changtu, Liaoning. He graduated from Nankai High School in Tianjin and attended Tsinghua University. Duanmu began writing as a student and became a prominent figure among the exiled writers of northeast China. His famous short story Melancholy of Egret Lake (1936) poignantly captures life in the occupied territories of Northeast China.

Zhang Daqian's Imitation of Song Dynasty 'Boneless' Landscape Scroll in Colour on Paper holds high artistic and collectible value in the Australian art market due to its rarity and early style. This work employs the 'boneless' technique inspired by Song dynasty landscapes, utilizing coloured washes to evoke a serene mountainous scene. Zhang's interpretation reflects his deep study of Song techniques along with his own artistic expression. The dedication refers to 'Brother Jing'an,' a close friend of Zhang's, Luo Wenmo (styled Jing'an), for whose wife Hui'an this piece was created. Luo, a notable figure in Sichuan's art education and cultural circles, was a prominent educator and leader in multiple art associations, adding a layer of human connection to this piece. Zhang was deeply affected by Luo's tragic passing in 1951 and commemorated him in verse while living abroad in Hong Kong.

Zhang Daqian (1899-1983), from Neijiang, Sichuan, was a legendary painter, calligrapher, and poet. His style seamlessly blended meticulous brushwork and freehand techniques, later pioneering a splashed-ink and splashed-colour style that led Western art critics to call him the 'Oriental brush.' Together with his brother Zhang Shanzi, he established the influential 'Dafengtang School,' which left a lasting impact on Chinese painting. He was celebrated globally as a master of Chinese art, even earning the honorific title of 'A Daqian in 500 Years.'

This scroll was formerly owned by the esteemed writer Duanmu Hongliang (1912-1996), a scholar of Dream of the Red Chamber. Born Cao Hanwen, he adopted the name Cao Jingping in homage to Qu Yuan. Known for his profound reflection on life in the Northeast following the occupation, Duanmu's literary contributions include his acclaimed 1936 short story Melancholy of the Egret Lake, which sensitively portrays life under occupation. His association and inscription on this work affirm its provenance, underscoring its historical and collectible significance as a genuine Zhang Daqian masterpiece. Notably, another of Zhang's early imitation Song works, Imitation of Liu Yongnian's Wuliu Scroll, was sold in the 2024 Christie's Hong Kong Spring Auction for HKD 12.475 million, underscoring the market and academic recognition of Zhang's Songinspired pieces.

設色紙本

題識：靜庵十兄屬為其夫人慧庵女士仿宋人沒骨法，弟蝯。鈐印：大千端木蕻良題簽：張大千仿宋山水圖。注：上款人「靜盦先生」為羅文謨（1902-1951），字靜盦，號雙清館主，四川榮縣人，曾師從劉海粟，與張大千有深厚交情。歷任成都美術專科學校、四川第一師範等校教師，蜀藝社社長，四川美術協會常務理事，國民黨四川省黨部書記長，四川省參議會秘書長等職。1951年，因含冤去世，張大千客居香港，聞訊後悲痛不已，作詩紀念。

張大千（1899-1983），四川內江人，傳奇國畫大師、書法家，通繪畫、書法、篆刻及詩詞，畫風集工筆與寫意於一體，並開創潑墨潑彩的新藝術風格，被西方藝壇譽為「東方之筆」。他與二哥張善子共創的「大風堂派」影響深遠，移居海外後，享有「五百年來一大千」的美譽。

題簽者端木蕻良（1912年9月25日—1996年10月5日），原名曹漢文，因仰慕屈原改名曹京平，筆名荃葉、羅旋、辛人、葉之琳、曹坪等，滿族，遼寧昌圖人，著名作家及《紅樓夢》研究者。畢業於天津南開中學，肄業於清華大學。端木自學生時代起即展露文采，是東北流亡作家群中的代表人物，其成名作《鷺湖的憂鬱》於1936年創作，真切反映了東北淪陷區人民的生活狀況。

張大千的設色紙本《仿宋沒骨山水軸》以其早期風格和珍稀性，在澳洲藝術市場上具有極高的藝術及收藏價值。此畫依宋人沒骨法，以設色表現山水意境，筆墨間流露出張大千對宋人技法的深入研習與個人詮釋。題識中提及的「靜庵十兄」即羅文謨（字靜盦），為張大千的摯友，這幅作品正是為其夫人慧庵女士所作。羅文謨曾任四川多所藝術教育機構的教職，並在社會文化活動中具有顯著影響。其與張大千的深厚交情，也為此作品增添了人文意涵。

此外，該畫作曾為著名作家端木蕻良的舊藏。端木不僅是一位東北流亡作家，亦是《紅樓夢》研究的學者，筆名眾多，以其對家鄉現狀的深刻書寫聞名。端木的題簽與收藏來源更彰顯出此作品的歷史意涵與收藏脈絡，使之成為無可爭議的張大千真跡。2024年佳士得香港春拍中，張大千另一件仿宋之作《仿宋人劉永年烏騮圖》以1247.5萬港元成交，進一步證明其仿宋作品的高度市場認可和學術價值。

A White Glove 100% Sold Auction Result for the Norman Dean Collection of Important English and European Pocket Watches

Artvisory was entrusted to handle the sale of this extraordinary pocket watch collection and we knew from the outset that we would have to market the collection internationally, as the level of interest in this field in this country would not have delivered the desired outcomes for the vendor.

It took a long time to catalogue and photograph the collection in detail, to a level at which International collectors would feel confident to bid without seeing the watches in person.

We then set about marketing the collection in Europe and we were delighted to secure

strong international press coverage in London for the auction.

Ultimately we were delighted with the market response from collectors in the US, The United Kingdom and Europe and at the auction, every single lot sold for a total that was nearly three times our total low estimate. One outstanding result, among many, was for a 17th century wandering-hour watch by William Knottesford of London, illustrated above, which sold for ten times its estimate at AUD$64,000 inc BP and which was bought by a very prestigious American Museum. We are delighted to hear that it

will now go on public view in the US at that institution later this year.

We look forward to working with vendors next year with important single-owner auctions, in which we specialise.

Same quality collections. Only smaller.

We all know collections sell much better marketed on their own as single-owner auctions. But until now, there has been an economic reality, that has not allowed that to happen. Now using the latest technology and based out of our state-of-the-art business location in Melbourne, For-Auction allows for smaller quality collections (valued as low as $80,000100,000) to be sold as single-owner auctions, without having to mix in with other people’s property. This means a better marketed and faster sales process for you as the vendor.

Terms and Conditions of Sale

The terms and conditions of sale listed here contain the policies of Artvisory Pty Ltd. They are the terms on which Artvisory Pty Ltd and the Seller contract with the Buyer. They may be amended by printed Saleroom Notices or oral announcements made before and during the sale. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms.

1. Background to the Terms used in these Conditions

The conditions that are listed below contain terms that are used regularly and may need explanation. They are as follows:

“the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer

“the Lot” means any item depicted within the sale for auction and in particular the item or items described against any lot number in the catalogue.

“the Hammer price” means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot

“the Buyers Premium” means the charge payable by the Buyer to the auction house as a percentage of the hammer price.

“the Reserve” means the lowest amount at which Artvisory has agreed with the Seller that the lot can be sold.

“Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole, with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue. Accordingly no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage or restoration work of any kind (Including re-painting).

“the insured value” means the amount that Artvisory in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider the value for which a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by Artvisory.)

All values expressed in Artvisory Pty Ltd catalogues (in any format) are in Australian Dollars (AU$). All bids, “hammer price”, “reserves”, “Buyers Premium” and other expressions of value are understood by all parties to be in Australian Dollars (AU$) unless otherwise specified.

2. Artvisory Auctions as Agent

Except as otherwise stated Artvisory Pty Ltd acts as agent for the Seller.

The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.

3. Before the Sale

a) Examination of Property

Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine in person any property in which they are interested before the Auction takes place. Neither Artvisory nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property apart from the Limited warranty in the paragraph below. The property is otherwise sold “AS IS”

b) Catalogue and other Descriptions

All statements by Artvisory in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Artvisory of any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or it’s value for any other purpose. Neither Artvisory nor The Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material. Images are measured height by width (sight size). Illustrations are provided only as a guide and should not be relied upon as a true representation of colour or condition. Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as supplementary images on the website) which do not form part of the lot as described in the printed catalogue.

Foreign buyers should note that all transactions are in Australian dollars so there may be a small exchange rate risk. The costs associated with acquiring a good certificate will be carried by the purchaser. If the item turns out to be forged or otherwise incorrectly described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the vendor.

c) Buyers Responsibility

All property is sold “as is” without representation or warranty of any kind by Artvisory or the Seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report

No lot to be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it has been immersed in liquid or treated by any other process unless the Auctioneer’s permission to subject the lot to such immersion or treatment has first been obtained in writing.

4. At the Sale

a) Refusal of Admission

Artvisory reserves the right at our complete discretion to refuse admission to the auction premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.

b) Registration before Bidding

Any prospective new buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide photo-identification before bidding. Artvisory may request bank, trade or other financial references to substantiate this registration.

c) Bidding as a Principal

When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price including the buyers premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Artvisory before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Artvisory and that Artvisory will only look to the principal for payment.

d) International Registrations

All International clients not known to Artvisory will be required to scan through an accredited form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our discretion in cleared funds into Artvisory’s account at least 24 hours before the commencement of the auction. Bids will not be accepted without this deposit. Artvisory also reserves the right to request any additional forms of identification prior to registering an overseas bid. This deposit can be made using a credit card, however the balance of any purchase price in excess of $5,000 can not be charged to this card without prior arrangement.

This deposit is redeemable against any auction purchase.

e) Absentee bids

Artvisory will use reasonable efforts to execute written bids delivered to us AT LEAST 24 Hours before the sale for the convenience of those clients who are unable to attend the auction in person. If we receive identical written bids on a particular lot, and at the auction these are the highest bids on that lot, then the lot will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check with Artvisory after the auction if they were successful. Unlimited or “Buy” bids will not be accepted.

f) Telephone bids

Priority will be given to overseas and interstate bidders. Please refer to the catalogue for the Telephone Bids form. Arrangements for this service must be confirmed AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR to the auction commencing. Artvisory accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute bids. In telephone bidding the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts that Artvisory cannot be held responsible for any miscommunications in the process. The success of telephone bidding cannot be guaranteed due to circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should be aware of the risk and accept the consequences should contact be unsuccessful at the time of Auction. You must advise Artvisory of the lots in question and you will be assumed to be a buyer at the minimum price of 75% of estimate (ie. reserve) for all such lots. Artvisory will advise Telephone Bidders who have registered at least 24 hours before the auction of any relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals or any other sale room notices.

G) Online Bidding

Artvisory offers an online bidding service via Invaluable.com. When bidding online the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here by Artvisory and agrees to pay any fees charged in regard to any purchases made via Invaluable.com.

Artvisory accepts no responsibility for any errors, failure to execute bids or any other miscommunications regarding this process. It is the online bidder’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the relevant information regarding bids, lot numbers and contact details.

H) Reserves

Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders.

I) Auctioneers Discretion

The Auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case or error or dispute and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to re-offer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, then Artvisory’s sale record is conclusive.

J) Successful bid and passing of risk

Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes immediately to the Buyer.

K) Indicative Bidding steps, etc.

Artvisory reserves the right to refuse any bid, withdraw any lot from sale, to place a reserve on any lot and to advance the bidding according to the following, at the auctioneers discretion:

iii) to cancel the sale

iv) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we see fit

viii) to reject at any future auction any bids made by or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit from the Buyer prior to accepting any bids.

ix) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by the Buyer whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. The Buyer will be deemed to have been granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations to us.

x) to take such other action as Artvisory deem necessary or appropriate

If we pay any amount to the Seller under paragraph (v) the Buyer acknowledges that Artvisory shall have all of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to pursue the Buyer for such amount.

g) Failure to collect purchases

Where purchases are not collected within 3 days from the sale date, whether or not payment has been made, we shall be permitted to remove the property to a warehouse at the buyer’s expense, and only release the items after payment in full has been made of removal, storage handling, insurance and any other costs incurred, together with payment of all other amounts due to us.

6. Extent of Artvisory Liability

Artvisory agrees to refund the purchase price in the circumstances of the Limited Warranty set out in paragraph 7 below. Apart from that, neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any lots. Except as stated in paragraph 7 below, neither the Seller ourselves, our officers, agents or employees give any representation warranty or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect of any lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition, attribution, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, literature or historical relevance. Except as required by local law any warranty of any kind is excluded by this paragraph.

7. Limited Warranty

Subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph, the Seller warrants for the period of thirty days from the date of the sale that any property described in this catalogue (noting such description may be amended by any saleroom notice or announcement) which is stated without qualification to be the work of a named author or authorship is authentic and not a forgery. The term “Author” or “authorship” refers to the creator of the property or to the period, culture, source, or origin as the case may be, with which the creation of such property is identified in the catalogue.

The warranty is subject to the following:

i) it does not apply where a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts at the date of the sale or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, or b) correct identification of a lot can be demonstrated only by means of a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of the publication of the catalogue was unreasonably expensive or impractical or likely to have caused damage to the property.

ii) the benefits of the warranty are not assignable and shall apply only to the original buyer of the lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by Artvisory when the lot was sold at Auction.

iii) the Original Buyer must have remained the owner of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party

iv) The Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against the Seller in place of any other remedy which might be available, is the cancellation of the sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid for the lot less the buyers premium which is non refundable. Neither the Seller nor Artvisory will be liable for

any special, incidental nor consequential damages including, without limitation, loss of profits not for interest.

v) The Buyer must give written notice of claim to us within thirty days of the date of the Auction. The Seller shall have the right, to require the Buyer to obtain two written opinions by recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to the Buyer and Artvisory to decide whether or not to cancel the sale under warranty.

vi) the Buyer must return the lot to Seller in the same condition that it was purchased.

8. Severability

If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the Conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9. Copyright

The copyright of all images, illustrations and written material produced by Artvisory relating to a lot including the contents of this catalogue, is and shall remain the property at all times of Artvisory and shall not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else without our prior written consent. Artvisory and the Seller make no representation or warranty that the Buyer of a property will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.

10. Law and Jurisdiction

These terms and conditions and any matters concerned with the foregoing fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the state in which the auction is held.

11. Pre-Sale Estimates

Artvisory publishes with each catalogue our opinion as to the estimated price range for each lot. These estimates are approximate prices only and are not intended to be definitive. They are prepared well in advance of the sale and may be subject to revision. Interested parties should contact Artvisory prior to auction for updated pre-sale estimates and starting prices.

12. Sale results

Artvisory will provide auction results, which will be available as soon as possible after the sale. Results will include buyer’s premium. These results will be posted at www.artvisory.com.au.

13. Goods and Service Tax

In accordance with A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 Artvisory Auctions will collect on behalf of the Australian tax office (ATO) a Goods and Service Tax (GST) of 10% on all applicable transactions. GST is applicable on the hammer price in the case where the seller is selling property that is owned by an entity registered for GST. GST is also applicable on the hammer price in the case where the seller is not an Australian resident. These lots are denoted by a dagger symbol † placed next to the estimate.

GST is also applicable on the buyer’s premium.

Overseas buyers and buyers non-resident in Australia will not be charged GST on both hammer price and premiums under the following conditions:

1. The items are exported through a Artvisory approved freight company including Australia Post

2. The items are exported within 60 days of the date of the sale

The invoice supplied by Artvisory for purchases will be regarded as a Tax invoice for GST purposes.

• is the artist alive, or deceased less than 70 years?

The seller:

i) acknowledges that he or she understands his or her legal obligations under the Resale Royalty for Visual Artists Act 2009 (the Act);

ii) undertakes to comply with all requirements of the Act, including by providing its agent, the company, with accurate information sufficient for compliance with sections 28 and 29 of the Act;

iii) undertakes to indemnify the company for any loss incurred by the company as a result of the vendor’s failure to comply with any of the vendor’s legal obligations under the Act; and

iv) acknowledges that if he or she fails to comply with any of his or her legal obligations under the Act, the company may provide the vendor’s name and contact details to Copyright Agency Limited (CAL).
