DR GORDON FRYERS AND DR ROSEMARY FRYERS LOTS 14-17
Dr Gordon Fryers (1922-2008) and Dr Rosemary Fryers (1922-1994) moved to Singapore in 1946 after they had both qualified as doctors, and their time there introduced them to Chinese art and culture. However, the Fryers did not start collecting seriously until the 1960s when Gordon’s experiences on his many international business trips rightly led him to believe that China would one day play a crucial role in the world economy and that its art would subsequently become highly desirable. With this remarkable foresight in seeing Chinese art as an investment opportunity, Gordon and Rosemary gradually built up their collection over a fifteen-year period in the 1960s and 70s, buying from leading auction houses and dealers. Albeit a clever financial move, Gordon and Rosemary’s collecting was by no means without passion, and they both developed a keen interest in the subject. Whilst Rosemary was drawn to ceramics and various works of art, Gordon favoured jades and marvelled at the outstanding craftsmanship behind these pieces. Fryers伉儷收藏 1946年Gordon Fryers及其夫人Rosemary Fryers獲取醫生證書之後搬去了新加坡,在那裡他
們接觸到了中國藝術品及文化。然而他們在1960年代之前並沒有開始收藏中國藝術品,當 Gordon多次到訪中國並確信中國將有一天會在世界經濟的舞台上扮演重要的角色時,他開
Dr Gordon Fryers and Dr Rosemary Fryers
始了對中國藝術品的投資之旅。他們陸續在1960到1970年代開始建立他們自己的收藏體 系,主要從重要拍賣及著名古董商那裡購買。當然除了Gordon非凡的經濟頭腦,更是由於 Fryers伉儷對中國藝術品的熱愛。Rosemary鐘情於中國瓷器及藝術品,而Gordon更喜愛中國 玉器的精巧雕工。

The Chinese words for lotus, he, and an ear of grain, sui, are homophonous with the words for ‘harmony’ and ‘year’ respectively. Therefore, the two images together symbolise the wish of living in harmony year after year. Cf. T Fok, Connoisseurship of Rhinoceros Horn Carving in China, p.147, no.97 for another cup with the lotus and grain motif.

£8,000-12,000 Cf.

19 A CHINESE CLOISONNE MODEL OF AN ELEPHANT LATE QING DYNASTY The white elephant stands turning its head to sinister, its saddle blanket decorated with fruits and precious objects over crashing waves, with a vase decorated with antiques upon the animal’s back, the ears removable, together with a wood stand, 35cm, 3.2kg. (4)
£8,000-12,000 Provenance: formerly the collection of Mr le Marquis du Prat de Nantouillet, c.1900. The image of an elephant carrying a vase represents the rebus taiping youxiang which carries the sentiment of wishing for peaceful times. An elephant with a vase is a visual embodiment of this expression, as the Chinese words for vase (ping) and elephant (xiang) are homophonous with two words in the saying. Cf. Christie’s South Kensington, 23rd January 2007, lot 231 for a similar cloisonné elephant.

Provenance: from the collection of Jasper Rose (1930-2019). Rose was educated at King’s College, Cambridge and later co-authored the 1964 book ‘Camford Observed: An Investigation of the Ancient Universities in the Modern World’, which was an account of university life at Oxford and Cambridge. He was a founding faculty member of the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a professor of art and history. Rose worked at UCSC’s Cowell College for many years and then briefly at Porter College before retiring in 1986 as an emeritus professor. He passed away in 2019 in Bath, where he had lived for some years before his death. One side of the snuff bottle is inscribed with the poem Lu Zhai (‘Deer Park’) by the Tang dynasty poet Wang Wei, whilst the poem on the other side is Zhong Nan Wang Yu Xue (‘On Seeing the Snow Peak of Zhongnan’) by the Tang poet Zu Yong.

35 A RARE CHINESE IMPERIAL ENAMELLED GLASS ‘PRUNUS’ SNUFF BOTTLE FOUR CHARACTER QIANLONG MARK AND OF THE PERIOD 1736-95 The flattened globular body surmounted by a short gently tapering neck, finely painted all over with many twisting gnarled branches of white prunus blossoms and buds, the design reserved on a black ground, with gilt to the rim and oval foot, the base with the reign mark in blue enamel, 5.3cm.
£15,000-20,000 The decoration on this snuff bottle was achieved by applying each coloured enamel separately to the plain glass body and firing successively at the appropriate temperature for each colour. The technical process of firing painted enamels on glass was significantly more challenging than that for porcelain or metal objects. As the melting point of glass is similar to that of enamel, accurate temperature control was crucial: if the temperature was too high then the glass body would melt, but if it was too low, then the enamel would not bond to the glass with the desired colour. Enamelled glass snuff bottles are, therefore, considerably rarer than their porcelain or metal-bodied counterparts. Cf. The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Snuff Bottles, p.83, no.131 for a similarly decorated Yongzheng mark and period metal-bodied enamel snuff bottle and p.92, no.141 for a Qianlong period metal-bodied snuff bottle painted with flowering prunus branches on a red ground; see also Harmony and Integrity: The Yongzheng Emperor and his Times, p.197, no.II-25 for another Yongzheng metal-bodied example with similar decoration in the collection of the National Palace Museum; see also Limpid Radiance: A Special Exhibition of Glass Artifacts from the National Palace Museum Collection, p.205, no.231 for another Qianlong period enamelled glass snuff bottle decorated with flowers on a black ground.
清乾隆 御製料胎畫琺瑯墨地白梅花鼻煙壺 《乾隆年製》藍料楷書款 鼻煙壺呈扁瓶型,橢圓形底以藍料寫有《乾隆年製》宋體字款。口沿及圈足鎏金。繪整柱白梅滿佈於黑地瓶身,黑白對比強烈,梅枝舒展,花 朵及花蕾分佈其間、錯落有致。帶銅鍍金雕龍蓋。 鼻煙由歐洲傳入中國後,為使來自西方珍貴的煙草粉不受潮變質,小口廣腹的各式鼻煙壺成為清代各皇宮貴族的新寵。清代宮廷製作的玻璃胎 畫琺瑯鼻煙壺無疑是最有特色的創燒。因玻璃與琺瑯兩者熔點相近,燒製琺瑯時溫度必須控制精準,而每種顏料的熔點又不盡相同,溫度過低 即導致發色不夠,溫度太高則料胎器型則可能變形。一件玻璃胎畫琺瑯琺瑯壺,常需要反復多次進行燒造,以致成品率不高而彌足珍貴。 此件乾隆梅花繪製精美,花心以淡綠及嫩黃色點染,纖細礬紅花蕾絲絲分明,淡雅清新。清代康雍乾三代均有以梅花為題材做鼻煙壺,但其風 格各異,此畫片較前兩朝更為枝繁花茂,別具一格。參見《故宮博物院文物藏品全集·鼻煙壺》,商務印書館,2003年1月,頁83,編號131, 一件雍正時期的畫琺瑯黑底白梅圖鼻煙壺,及頁92編號141,一件乾隆畫琺瑯紫地梅花圖鼻煙壺。

The Chinese word for ‘badger’, huan, is homophonous with that for ‘joy’. The image of two badgers, shuanghuan, is therefore symbolic of a couple enjoying marital bliss. Cf. Marchant, Ninety Jades for 90 Years, p.79, no.40 for a similar pendant; see also T Y Pang & J Sze, Virtuous Treasures: Chinese Jades for the Scholar’s Table, p.179, no.103 for another example.

71 A CHINESE CELADON AND RUSSET JADE ‘YINGXIONG’ GROUP 18TH CENTURY Carved as a recumbent lion dog gazing at an eagle perched on its back, with the mythical beast picked out in a russet section of the stone, the steely-eyed bird of prey carved in celadon, their fur and feathers finely detailed, together with a certificate of authenticity from Gilbert Crutel, Paris, dated 3rd June 1978, 7cm.
£8,000-10,000 The imagery depicted is an interpretation of the motif of an eagle, ying, and a bear, xiong, which together form the word yingxiong, homophone for ‘hero’. The theme of an eagle and bear first appeared on Western Han dynasty bronze ‘champion’ vases. This developed throughout later periods into more stylised representations where the bear is often rendered as a mythical beast resembling a lion and the eagle is sometimes portrayed as a phoenix. Cf. A Forsyth and B McElney, Jades from China, p.292, no.292 for a Ming dynasty jade carving of an eagle perched on a lion-like mythical animal in the collection of The Museum of East Asian Art, Bath; see also Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 1st December 2016, lot 203 for a 17th/18th century yellow jade carving with the same iconography.

£10,000-15,000 Provenance: purchased in New York in the 1950s. The iconography depicted presents the historical Buddha in the earth-witness gesture. This refers to when Shakyamuni triumphed over the demon Mara, who was attempting to divert him from his objective of becoming enlightened through meditation. When Mara challenged Shakyamuni’s right to enlightenment, Shakyamuni moved his hand from his lap to touch the ground with his middle finger, calling the earth to witness his entitlement to spiritual enlightenment. Shakyamuni’s unshakable resolve forced Mara and his army of demons to flee; moments later, Shakyamuni attained enlightenment.

88 A FINE CHINESE IMPERIAL TEADUST GLAZED BOTTLE VASE, BIQIPING SIX CHARACTER QIANLONG MARK AND OF THE PERIOD 1736-95 The pear-shaped body surmounted by a tall cylindrical neck, decorated all over with a dark olive-coloured mottled glaze, all raised on a flared foot, the incised reign mark contained within a slightly recessed square covered with a brown wash, 33.4cm.
£30,000-40,000 Teadust glazes, also known as cha ye mo, are usually found on reign-marked Imperial items of specific shapes and they are generally associated with the reigns of the Yongzheng (r.1723-35) and Qianlong (r.1736-95) Emperors. There was great experimentation at the Imperial Kilns in Jingdezhen during the reigns of these two emperors as potters attempted to expand the range of glazes used on fine monochrome wares. The Yongzheng Emperor is known to have been enamoured with antiquity, and so at this time there was a conscious effort to recreate and refine visual effects present on earlier ceramic pieces. Eighteenth century teadust glazes were a reinvention of earlier dark brown iron oxide glazes, which had previously been used on pieces produced at kilns in northern China, including Yaozhou, during the Tang and early Song dynasties. Eighteenth century teadust glazes were first achieved under Tang Ying (1682-1756), who is often regarded as one of the greatest supervisors of the Imperial Kilns and is renowned for his outstanding imitation of early pieces. Cf. R Krahl, Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, vol.2, pp.256-257, no.936 for a comparable Qianlong mark and period vase; see also Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 19th May 1987, lot 294 for another similar piece from the T Y Chao Collection; see also R Kerr, Chinese Ceramics: Porcelain of the Qing Dynasty 1644-1911, pp.47-48, no.25 for another related vase with a pale rim in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum; see also Christie’s New York, 17th March 2017, lot 1245 and Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 3rd October 2017, lot 3665 for further examples sold more recently at auction.

89 A CHINESE LANGYAO BOTTLE VASE, CHANGJINGPING KANGXI 1662-1722 The bulbous pear-shaped body supported on a short slightly tapering foot, surmounted by a tall slender cylindrical neck, the exterior decorated with a rich red crackled flambé glaze scattered with pale specks, the glaze draining from the rim leaving it white and pooling to a deep burgundy at the foot, with a pale mint green glaze to the base, 40.6cm.
£8,000-12,000 The term langyao used to describe this type of glaze derives its name from Lang Tingji, who was the director of the official kilns at Jingdezhen from 1705 to 1712. It is believed that he was responsible for the revival of monochrome glazes and that the langyao glaze developed under his supervision. Cf. J Ayers, The Baur Collection, Chinese Ceramics, vol.3, Monochrome-Glazed Porcelains of the Ch’ing Dynasty, pl.A277 for a related vase; see also Christie’s New York, 22nd-23rd March 2018, lot 767 for another comparable vase.

£5,000-8,000 Provenance: from an English private collection, West Yorkshire, formed in the 1970s and 1980s, purchased from the Reverend G E Grime. It is believed that in ancient China, the act of lifting a bronze ding was a display of absolute strength and a demonstration of virility.

He joined the Swedish telephone company SAT in 1892 and was eventually appointed as the company’s chief network engineer. Gerdhem’s work took him to many countries, including Russia, Mexico, Argentina and China. He was sent to Beijing in 1915 to negotiate a contract for operating and supplying materials to the telephone network in Guangzhou; the negotiations, however, were unsuccessful. During his time there, Gerdhem acquired a collection of Chinese porcelain, which he brought back with him on his return to Sweden.

(2)
£30,000-40,000 Provenance: formerly the collection of Dolores Alzaga, Buenos Aires. The Alzaga Family were well-known for numerous collections, including cloisonné and Fabergé. Ming dynasty porcelain covered boxes of this form are exceedingly rare and it is still unclear what their exact purpose was. It has been suggested that these boxes might have been used in pairs as containers for weiqi, also known as go, playing pieces. However, comparable jars also functioned as cricket cages. Porcelain cricket cages of this form, but with recessed covers, were first made for the Xuande Emperor (r.1426-35) and the popularity of the ancient sport of cricket fighting grew significantly during the Ming dynasty. The depth of this particular box would perhaps suggest that is more likely to have functioned as a cricket cage: it would have been somewhat impractical to pick out weiqi stones from such a tall container. It is also interesting to note that the barrel-shaped form later became popular in Japan, being utilised on mizusashi, or water vessels used in tea ceremonies. Cf. R Krahl, Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, vol.4 (I), pp.196-197, no.1704 for a similar smaller Wanli mark and period box and cover painted with dancers; see also the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession no.1991.253.55 for a comparable jar without its cover painted with dragons; see also Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 5th October 2016, lot 110 for another related item decorated with mythical beasts; see also R E Scott, Elegant Form and Harmonious Decoration: Four Dynasties of Jingdezhen Porcelain, p.89, no.90 for a comparable blue and white box and cover also with dragons.

121 A RARE AND MASSIVE CHINESE GE-TYPE MOONFLASK, BAOYUEPING YONGZHENG 1723-35 The flattened body moulded to each side with a large circular central boss surrounded by nine ruyi-heads, decorated all over with a pale greenish-grey glaze suffused with dark crackles, the short cylindrical neck flanked by two applied scroll handles, all raised on a short gently flared foot, 50cm.
£10,000-20,000 Provenance: from the estate of Dikran Ouzounian (d.8th November 2011) and Seta Ouzounian (deceased), 79 Cadogan Square, London, and thence by descent. The glaze on this imposing moonflask is an active tribute to earlier Chinese Ge wares, which were notable for their deliberate irregular crackle. Whilst the exact location of the site remains unknown, the Ge kiln is regarded as one of the Five Great Kilns (Wu Da Ming Yao) of the Song dynasty, along with Ru, Jun, Guan and Ding wares. It is, however, interesting to note that no examples of Ge pieces have been discovered in Song dynasty tombs, and so their dating is still contentious amongst modern scholars. It is in fact possible that Ge pieces were not produced until the Yuan dynasty, perhaps as a copy of Song Imperial Guan wares. Imitations of Ge glazes applied to porcelain bodies first appeared during the Ming dynasty, and Imperial pieces of this type were produced during the reigns of the Xuande (r.1426-35) and Chenghua (r.1465-1487) Emperors. The later Ming saw the creation of only a few exceptional pieces of this type, and it was not until the reign of the Qing dynasty emperor Yongzheng (r.1723-35) that the imitation of Ge pieces was reinvigorated and reached new levels of sophistication. The Yongzheng Emperor is known to have been fascinated with the past and is remembered as a passionate collector of antiques. Under such a keen patron with great enthusiasm for works of art made for the Imperial Court, the potters at the Imperial Kilns in Jingdezhen carried out much research and experimentation during this period. The workers developed an extensive range of fine monochromes including reinventions of early wares, which reflected the Yongzheng Emperor’s admiration of antiquity. Tang Ying (1682-1756), one of the most renowned supervisors of the Imperial Kilns, is particularly associated with the production of pieces imitating early wares during this period, and he writes about the production of imitation Ru, Guan and Ge wares in his Records of Ceramic Production (Taocheng jishi). For a more in-depth discussion on Yongzheng period copies of earlier Chinese wares, see Wang Qingzheng, Yongzheng Imitations of Guan, Ge, Ru and Jun Wares, Chinese Ceramics: Selected Articles from Orientations 1982-1998, pp.265-270. Cf. Bonhams Hong Kong, 26th May 2007, lot 220 for a similar vase; see also Sotheby’s London, 8th November 2006, lot 173 for a comparable piece moulded with the Eight Trigrams; see also Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 28th November 1978, lot 207 for a related Guan-type moonflask with the Eight Trigrams design.
清雍正 仿哥窯抱月瓶 來源:Dikran Ouzounian(逝於2011年11月8日)及Seta Ouzounian遺產,之後由其家族繼承。 哥窯為宋朝五大名窯之一,其主要特征是釉面有大小不同的開裂紋片,是為南宋時期修內司官窯燒製的。早在宣德及成化年間的官窯已經開始 在模仿宋代哥窯開片釉,這種技術發展到清代雍正時期可謂攀上新的高峰。這不僅是雍正皇帝憶古之情的體現,更要歸功於兩位著名督窯官年 希堯與唐英。此種樣式源於波斯的金屬工藝品形狀,經改造以迎合漢人的審美。創燒於明永樂官窯,因成型時必須分別製作再粘合成器,故成 品難度極大。由此件拍品可看出當時以異材器型和古代瓷釉所重新組合而成的仿古創新之作。

124 A LARGE CHINESE BLANC DE CHINE FIGURE OF GUANYIN 18TH CENTURY The bodhisattva depicted standing tall upon a large lotus leaf and flower, she holds a basket containing a fish in her right hand and clutches her skirt in her left, dressed in flowing robes adorned with long beaded chains, the jewellery embellished with floral and ruyi-head shaped pendants, with a tiara centred by a seated figure of Amitabha Buddha set in her chignon, her serene face framed by long plaits which trail over her shoulders, all above a pedestal formed as stylised crashing waves, the back with an impressed six character Wanli mark and a gourd-shaped mark reading Fujian Dehua zhizao, with a paper label for Hugh M Moss Ltd to the interior, 59.5cm.
£15,000-20,000 Provenance: from an English private collection, West Yorkshire, purchased from Hugh Moss at Grosvenor House in the 1970s. Depictions of Guanyin holding a basket containing fish present her as the patroness of fishermen. This imagery is also associated with an episode in the tale of Guanyin and the South China Sea. In this story, the Dragon King’s third son went swimming in the sea in the form of a carp, but he was caught by a fisherman. As he was on land, the Dragon King’s son was unable to change back into a dragon and he was taken to be sold and butchered at the market. Guanyin gave her attendant Shancai all her money to buy and rescue the fish. However, the Dragon King’s son had attracted a large crowd at the market because he was the only fish still alive hours after being caught. Believing that the remarkable fish would grant the one who ate it immortality, everyone at the market bid to buy the fish. Shancai was outbid and begged the fish seller to spare the fish’s life. Shancai’s efforts were unsuccessful and angered the crowd, but Guanyin intervened, announcing loudly from afar that a life should belong to one who wishes to save it rather than one who wishes to take it. Ashamed by their desire, the people all dispersed and Shancai obtained the fish. He brought the fish to Guanyin and she returned him to the sea, allowing him to transform back into a dragon. As a token of thanks, the Dragon King sent his granddaughter Longnü to deliver the Pearl of Light to Guanyin. Longnü then asked to learn the Buddhist Dharma from Guanyin and became her disciple. Cf. Sotheby’s New York, 16th September 2009, lot 226 for a very similar figure of Guanyin holding a basket; see also P J Donnelly, Blanc de Chine, pl.76B for another comparable 18th century figure of a similar size also with a Wanli reign mark.

9. 競投:競買人需要在拍賣前進行註冊,登記時 需要提供姓名,位址。新客戶需要向本公司提 供身份證明。如需要電話競投服務,請儘早與 本公司進行登記。 10. 競投委託:該項服務是以書面的形式委託威立 士在不超過其指定金額下競投拍賣品。工作人 員將參考底價,盡力以最低價進行競投,如果 威立士收到兩個或以上相同價格的書面競投, 則以最先與本公司簽訂委託競投協定者為成功 競投者。 11. 付款方式:按照規定,成交拍品需要付清所有 遺留款項以後才能取貨。關於付款方式請提前 與本公司前臺聯系。 12. 取貨和存儲:請查閱本公司拍賣條款裏關於取 貨和儲存的有關信息。所有推遲提取的拍品都 會徵收相應的存儲費用。 賣家委託條件 1. 解釋:下文中用到‘您’代表賣家或仲介機 構,同樣‘我們’代表拍賣行。 2. 傭金:拍品成交價在£999 內收取15%的傭金 +VAT增值稅,超過£1,000 拍品需要徵收10% 的傭金+VAT。 3. 運輸費:所有拍品務必要在截止日期前送達我 們拍賣行,且所有費用將由您來承擔。我們可 以在運送過程中幫助您但是本公司不承擔運輸 中發生任何狀況的責任。 4. 丟失和損傷保險:我們沒有為客戶準備FSA的 保險,但本公司用拍品的最低估價作為保護承 擔責任賠償。我們會收取成交價的1.5%作為責 任賠償的保險費用,如果您的拍品沒有成交那 麼我們會以估價的中間值為標準收取費用。如 果您不需要這項服務,那麼您將承擔丟失和損 傷的風險,直到買家取走該拍品。 5. 插圖:插圖的費用由您來承擔。若我們覺得拍 品需要插圖會尋求您的允許,我們會事先通知 您。但所有圖像和文字說明的版權都屬本公司 所有。 6. 底價和我們的判斷:在拍賣會開始之前我們會 和您關於拍品的預訂價達成共識。 7. 我們可以賣出低於拍品預訂價,但我們會支付 您該拍品的保留價。但如果您給予本公司‘裁 決’的權利,我們會同意以低於預訂價10%的 價格出售。

SOCIETY OF FINE ART AUCTIONEERS AND VALUERS and the ROYAL INSTITUTION OF CHARTERED SURVEYORS CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS 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. The purchase price. The Buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon of 25% plus VAT @20% (totalling 30% inclusive) on the first £500,000 and 12% plus VAT @20% (14.4%) inclusive thereafter. 5. VAT. (†) indicates that VAT at the current standard rate is payable by the purchaser 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 symbol (Ω) 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. 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 for the goods to leave the U.K. and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing the goods in question into the destination country because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Charges may be applicable for export licences. Ask us if you need help. The denial of any permit or licence shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale contract or any delay in payment. 9. Bidding. Bidders will 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 will 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. As a general rule any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted. Please discuss with our Office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment are envisaged (except cash). 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. 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. Commission is charged to sellers at the following rates: 15% + VAT on each lot sold for up to £999, 10% + VAT on each lot realising £1,000 and above. 3. Removal costs. Items for sale must be consigned to the sale room 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. 4. Loss and damage waiver. We are not regulated by the FSA for the provision of insurance to clients. However, we for our own protection assume liability for property consigned to us at lower pre-sale estimate. To justify accepting liability, we make a charge of 1.5% of the hammer price plus VAT or, if unsold, our mid estimate of the hammer price. If the owner of goods consigned instructs us in writing not to take such action, they then remain at owner’s 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 4 is inapplicable. 5. Illustrations. The cost of any illustrations is borne by you. If we consider that the lot should be illustrated your permission will usually 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. 6. Minimum bids and our discretion. Goods may be offered subject to a reserve agreed between us before the sale in accordance with clause 7. 7. 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 ‘discretion’ we may accept a bid of up to 10% below the formal reserve. 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 insurance 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. 8. 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. 9. 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 8 and 9 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.
10. 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. The liability to reimburse the sale proceeds shall not arise where you are acting reasonably and honestly and are unaware of the forgery but we are or ought to have been aware of it. 11. Unsold and withdrawn items. If an item is unsold it may with your consent 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. 12. Withdrawn and bought in items. These are liable to incur a charge of up to 10% plus VAT of the reserve or low estimate on being bought in or withdrawn after being catalogued. 13. 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. 14. 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. (b) You authorise us in our discretion to negotiate a sale by private treaty not later than the close of business on the day of the 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. 15. 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 £2 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. 16. Settlement. Subject to our normal trading conditions, payment will be made by BACS or cheque five weeks after the sale 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 10 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. CONDITIONS OF SALE

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 save where such failure is unreasonable. 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 it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.
12. AGENCY
The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for 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.

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’.

Copyright for any of the aforementioned will remain the property of Woolley & Wallis, subject to the provisions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Woolley & Wallis and the seller make no representations or warranties that the buyer of a lot will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights to it.

BOOKS AUCTIONS
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.
