WANG QI (1884-1937) Wang Qi is widely regarded as one of the most outstanding porcelain painters of his time. Active during China’s Republic Period, Wang Qi was an instrumental figure in aiding the revitalisation of the Chinese porcelain industry during the aftermath of the Taiping Rebellion and fall of the Qing dynasty. Wang Qi, along with seven other leading artists of the time, formed a society entitled ‘The Full Moon Society’, although this has now come to be known as the ‘Eight Friends of Zhushan’ (Zhushan Bayou). These friends would meet on the 15th day of each month to drink wine and to exchange ideas on art, with a popular topic being their thoughts and experiences concerning the painting of porcelain. Each of these artists specialised in their own subject and had their own distinctive style, with Wang Qi characteristically engaging with folkloric figures and imbuing his work with an iconoclastic and imaginative virtuosity.

王琦（1884-1937）四件瓷板的粉彩皆用料考究，顏色秀雅且筆致細膩。其人物造型不僅生動且鬚髮刻畫細緻，神情逼真有趣。衣物場景搭配恰到好處，使整個畫面栩栩如生。王琦（1884-1937），別號濤迷道人，齋名匋匋齋，尤善繪人物，師從鄧碧珊，並學習海派畫家錢慧安的繪畫風格，又吸收了西方油畫技法繪製人物臉部。之後因極其喜愛揚州八怪黄瘿瓢的畫風，故以其書畫入瓷。王琦為珠山八友之首。珠山八友是民國年間景德鎮包括王琦，王大凡，汪野亭等八位繪瓷大家。他們在1928年結成‘月圓會’以瓷會友，抒發胸志，影響近代文人瓷畫的進程，並對中國陶瓷藝術發展及傳承做出巨大貢獻。此組拍品為民國瓷板大師王琦於1931年繪製之精品。 9 A SET OF FOUR RARE CHINESE ENAMELLED PORCELAIN RECTANGULAR PLAQUES BY WANG QI (1884-1937) DATED 1931 Each finely painted with a figure beneath an inscription, one decorated with the poet Li Bai holding a wine cup, another depicting a scholar seated by a pile of books with a wrapped qin resting on his lap, one with Zhong Kui trying to catch a flying bat, the fourth with the Immortal Li Tieguai gazing at smoke emerging from a gourd, all dated to the xinwei year, each signed Xichang Taomi Sanren Wang Qi, each with two seals reading Wang Qi and Taomi, the reverse of each inscribed with a number code, all contained within wood frames, each approx 43cm x 25.5cm excluding frame, 46cm x 29cm including frame. (4)

£30,000-50,000 Provenance: from the collection of Colonel Timothy Van Rees, purchased from Mr Wong, a dealer on Cat Street, in Hong Kong c.1968. Colonel Van Rees served with the Welsh Regiment in Hong Kong from 1966 to 1969, and again from 1971 to 1973. He arrived as a Captain and left as a Major, and also sat as a magistrate during his time there. Colonel Van Rees was introduced to Mr Wong by a senior policeman called Taff Hunt. Cf. D S Howard, A Tale of Three Cities: Canton, Shanghai & Hong Kong, p.259, no.357 for a comparable smaller plaque by Wang Qi which was sold at Sotheby’s London on 7th November 2007, lot 483; see also Bonhams London, 10th November 2011, lot 585 for another similar plaque by Wang Qi also depicting Li Tieguai.

王綺製人物故事瓷板一組四件來源：Timothy Van Rees上校收藏。1968年左右，從香港摩羅街的一位黃姓古董商處購得。Van Rees上校於1966-1969年及1971-1973 年，在威爾士軍團駐香港部隊服役。黃先生是由Taff Hunt介紹給Van Rees上校的。

This plaque depicts the celebrated Tang dynasty poet Li Bai (701-762) and is entitled ‘Making a toast to the moon’. Li Bai is often portrayed with wine and is sometimes referred to as ‘The Drunken Poet’. The inscription explains that this plaque is painted in the style of Huang Shen (1687-1722), who was a Qing dynasty painter and artistic innovator best known for being one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou (Yangzhou Ba Gua). It is dated to early summer of the xinwei year (1931).

銘文：舉杯問月時在辛未仲夏月上浣仿黃慎之法西昌匋迷散人王琦寫於珠山客次。鈐印:王琦、匋迷。

The long inscription on this plaque tells the tale of an unnamed old man during the Zhou dynasty. The man, dressed in a deerskin coat tied with rope, was playing music on the qin when Confucius came across him whilst on his journey to Taishan. Confucius asked the old gentleman why he was so happy and he replied, “I am happy for many reasons. Of all the living creations in this world, humans are the greatest, and I am a human. This is the first reason I am happy. Men and women are different, and men are superior to women. I am a man, and so this is the second reason I am happy. There are people who are blind and there are those who do not live through infancy. I have lived well for ninety years, so this is the third reason I am happy. Scholars often face poverty, and death is the final step in life. I am content living in these normal conditions and waiting for my final call, so why should I be worried?” Confucius then exclaimed, “How wonderful that you can comfort yourself in such a way!” This plaque is dated to early autumn of the xinwei year (1931).

銘文：周榮啟期，不知何許人。鹿裘帶索，鼓琴而歌。孔子遊泰山，見而問曰：“先生何樂也？”曰：“吾樂甚多：天生萬物，人為貴，吾得為人，一樂也；男女之別，男尊女卑，吾得為男，二樂也；人生有不見日月、不免繈褓者，吾行年九十矣，三樂也；貧者士之常，死者人之終，居常以待終，何不樂也？”孔子曰：“善乎！能自寬者也。” 辛未初秋西昌匋迷散人王琦。鈐印:王琦、匋迷。

This plaque depicts Zhong Kui, the demon queller and vanquisher of ghosts. The title in the inscription may be translated as ‘cleansing the atmosphere with pushang wine’. This type of wine has been used in China since ancient times as a repellent against insects and other small disease-carrying animals. It is traditionally drunk, painted on people’s foreheads and placed in the corners of people’s homes, particularly on the Dragon Boat Festival, which is regarded as the height of summer when the greatest number of insects are around. Due to its cleansing qualities, the wine was also believed to dispel evil spirits. Here, the idea of wine driving away troublesome creatures is a metaphor for Zhong Kui warding off evil spirits and acting as the protective guardian of people’s homes. The flying bat on this plaque is also significant as the word for ‘bat’, fu, is homophonous with that for ‘good fortune’. The upside down bat is symbolic of the saying fu dao le, which means ‘good fortune has arrived’. Zhong Kui trying to catch the bat indicates he is grasping good fortune and will send people happiness. The imagery on the plaque therefore symbolises Zhong Kui driving away the evil and welcoming good things. The plaque is dated to early summer of the xinwei year (1931).

銘文：蒲觴滌氛，時在辛未夏月上澣西昌匋迷散人王琦寫意。鈐印：王琦、匋迷。

See paragraphs 4 & 5 of our conditions of business at the back of the catalogue for additional charges on the final hammer prices

The seated figure on this plaque is Li Tieguai, one of the Eight Immortals of Daoism. Li Tieguai is often portrayed as an old beggar known for being benevolent to the poor and sick. Here, he is depicted making pills of immortality in his bottle gourd to alleviate people’s suffering and save their lives. The double-gourd is his attribute and one of the Eight Daoist Emblems (Anbaxian). As with the plaque depicting Li Bai, the inscription states that this plaque is also painted in the style of the Qing dynasty painter Huang Shen (1687-1722). It is dated to summer of the xinwei year (1931).

銘文：自量糊塗客煉丹濟世人，□朵辛未夏月略師黃慎之法，西昌匋迷散人王琦寫於珠山客次。鈐印：王琦、匋迷。

£5,000-8,000 Provenance: from the collection of George and Cornelia Wingfield Digby and thence by descent. George and Cornelia Wingfield Digby started buying Chinese and Japanese art, notably porcelain, in the early 1950s, and they continued to build their collection over the next 40 years. George Wingfield Digby (1911-1989) joined the Victoria & Albert Museum’s textile department in 1934 and later served as keeper between 1947 and 1972. He expanded the V & A’s textile collection considerably during his time there and wrote three books on the subject. He also released three further publications on different fields of art, including The Work of the Modern Potter in England (1952), which his wife Cornelia played a large part in assisting him write. In addition to their extensive Asian art collection, they also acquired a significant number of pieces of studio pottery which were lent to Tate, St Ives in 1993. George and Cornelia lived in Palace Gardens Terrace, London, and they regularly bought from art dealers on Kensington Church Street as well as those outside London. After retiring, they settled in Dorset and part of their Chinese and Japanese art collection was exhibited at Sherborne Castle for 25 years. Cf. T Fok, Connoisseurship of Rhinoceros Horn Carving in China, p.49, no.2 for a related example.

（1911-1989）在1934年加入了維多利亞及艾爾伯特博物館（簡稱V&A博物館）的織品部門之後又分別在1947年至1972年擔任管理員。在職期間，George使得V&A博物館織品收藏體系得到質的飛躍，並以此為基礎出了三本書。之後在1952年又和他妻子共同出版了一本關於英國現代製瓷的書。他們的英國瓷器收藏曾在1993年出借給St Ives的Tate博物館。他們曾住在倫敦Palace Gardens Terrace，所以大部分亞洲藝術藏品購於肯辛頓教堂街的古董店。退休之後搬去了多塞特郡，一部分的亞洲藏品曾出借給Sherborne城堡展覽了25年。注：只有落槌價格每克超過100美金的犀角雕拍品才能申請出口證書。

£4,000-6,000 Provenance: from the collection of the late Hubert René Joseph Georges Faure (1919-2020). Hubert Faure was the first husband of Elizabeth (Bessie) de Cuevas, who married when she was nineteen. Bessie was the daughter of Margaret Rockefeller, granddaughter of John D Rockefeller. This form of ewer is known in Chinese as a duomuhu and it is derived from the Tibetan bey lep. Bey lep literally translates as ‘container for butter’, but these vessels were also used to store milk, wine and milk tea in Lamaist monasteries. The shape is believed to have first appeared in China during the Yuan dynasty and, after little use in the Ming dynasty, was revived under the reign of the Kangxi Emperor (1662-1722) during the Qing dynasty. His interest in Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism led to the resurgence of the duomuhu form, notably in metalwork and porcelain. Cf. The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Lacquer Wares of the Qing Dynasty, p.182, no.135 for a comparable gold and purple lacquer duomuhu in the Qing Court Collection; see also pp.152-153, no.111 for a Qianlong period twin-dish decorated with comparable floral medallions in gold on a black lacquer ground.

51 A MASSIVE TIBETAN GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI POSSIBLY 16TH CENTURY Cast seated in dhyanasana with one hand held in dhyana mudra and the other in bhumisparsha mudra, he wears robes adorned with strings of beads and incised with floral motifs to the edges, his composed face framed by his pierced elongated earlobes, the urna between his arched eyebrows picked out with a turquoise jewel, 58cm high, 33kg.

£30,000-50,000 Provenance: formerly the collection of Mr Adrianus Cornelis Maria Verhelst (b.26th February 1955), The Netherlands. 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. Cf. Christie’s New York, 18th September 2018, lot 51 for a smaller Buddha Shakyamuni possessing similar markings and features.

FROM THE COLLECTION OF PROFESSOR PETER HARIOLF PLESCH (1918-2013) AND GERTA REGINA “TRAUDI” PLESCH OBE (1921-2013) AND THENCE BY DESCENT LOTS 52-57, 146 & 213 Peter and Traudi were important collectors of Chinese, Japanese and Korean Art. Their vast collection grew exponentially after their wedding in 1963 and also included many examples of Chinese, Roman and English glass, thus reflecting their eclectic taste. Peter and Traudi both came to the UK after fleeing the rise of Nazism in the 1930s. Peter left Berlin in 1933 with his father Janos Plesch, Albert Einstein’s personal doctor and friend. Traudi emigrated from Vienna with her family in 1938. Peter became Professor of Chemistry at Keele University and gained international recognition for his lifelong studies of cationic polymerisation, publishing several books and more than 150 research papers, the last just after his 90th birthday. Traudi received her OBE in 2000 for charitable services to the community in Staffordshire. In March 1959 at Sotheby’s London, Peter purchased a Ruyao narcissus bowl for £2,200 against the dealer J T Tai. It was reoffered at the same saleroom in February 1970 where it sold for £46,000 and subsequently made the front page of a UK national newspaper. On both occasions the hammer price entered the Guinness Book of Records as the highest price ever paid for any ceramic. Several pieces from the collection were lent to Oriental Ceramic Society exhibitions, including this bowl in 1960. Peter published many articles relating to Asian arts, bringing his own scientific approach to collecting, including formulating a new cataloguing system.

Peter and Traudi Plesch

Peter and Traudi’s collection was admired by many fellow collectors and academics. Their passion for the collection was matched by the enthusiasm of their guests, and they were known to be very welcoming to all visitors.

The scene depicts the Han dynasty poet Sima Xiangru (179-117 BC). When he was a poor young scholar, Xiangru eloped with his beloved Zhuo Wenjun, the daughter of a wealthy gentleman. Humiliated, her father refused to support the couple, and so they lived in poverty making a living by running a roadside wine shop. Having been encouraged by his wife, Xiangru went to seek his fortune in the capital, Chang’an. Xiangru parted from Wenjun on the bridge leading to the city and vowed that he would not cross the bridge again unless he did so riding in a carriage drawn by four horses, having made his fortune. This scene shows Xiangru writing this vow on a pillar by the bridge as Wenjun holds his inkstone. Xiangru impressed the Emperor in the capital and had a successful career at court. He later returned home in his horse-drawn carriage and was received with great honour. The story is regarded as a tale of inspiration, demonstrating how hard work and ambition can lead to great success. Cf.

161 A CHINESE COPPER-RED ‘SAN DUO’ VASE, MEIPING 18TH CENTURY Painted with three large sprays of fruiting branches bearing peaches, pomegranates and finger citron, the design set above a band of pendant leaves, the shoulder decorated with spearheads and key fret, with flowerheads to the short gently flaring neck, 35.5cm.

£8,000-12,000 Provenance: from the collection of Lady Molly McAlpine (d.1987), and thence by descent. According to the family, the vase was purchased from Thomas Goode & Co.

The peach represents longevity, whilst the pomegranate is a symbol of many sons because of the fruit’s many seeds. The Chinese word for finger citron, foshou, is homophonous with fushou, meaning good fortune and long life. Cf.

The inscription on this bowl is an extract from the poem Li Ren Xing, or ‘Ode to Beautiful Ladies’, by the esteemed Tang dynasty poet Du Fu (712-770). Through its satirical portrayal of the fair imperial ladies and their luxurious lifestyles at court, the poem unveils the corruption of the upper class during the Tang dynasty. The lines on this bowl may be translated as ‘with a dignified and refined air without artifice, their embroidered silk garments glow in the twilight of spring.’

The Mazot family left Beijing in 1946 and returned to France, settling in Normandy. Most of the Chinese porcelain in the family collection was left in trunks in the basement of their chateau from 1946 until Christmas 2015, when Henry Mazot’s granddaughter, who had inherited the home, decided to open them. Cf. The British Museum, registration no.PDF.777 for a dish of the same design on loan from the Sir Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art; see also The Wonders of the Potter’s Palette: Qing Ceramics from the Collection of the Hong Kong Museum of Art, pp.58-59, no.24 for another similar example.

191 A MASSIVE CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE ‘DRAGON’ MOONFLASK QIANLONG 1736-95 Painted to each side with a large confronting dragon writhing amidst swirling clouds and stylised flames, with a further small dragon emerging from crashing waves below, the mythical beasts surrounded by many flying bats, the short neck decorated with beribboned precious objects and flanked by two handles terminating in moulded ruyi-heads, with bands enclosing further bats and wispy clouds encircling the garlic-head mouth and flared foot, 48.3cm.

£20,000-30,000 Provenance: from an English private collection, Suffolk, since the 1940s, and thence by descent. The image of an old and young dragon together forms the saying cang long jiao zi, which means ‘an old dragon teaching its young.’ This motif expresses the wish that an official position will be passed down through the generations from father to son. In addition to ceramic decoration, the imagery is frequently found on Ming and Qing dynasty belthooks, where the old dragon forms the hook whilst the young dragon stands on the shaft facing him. Cf. The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Porcelains in Polychrome and Contrasting Colours, p.278, no.254 for a comparable moonflask with a similar design in doucai.

拍賣規則

競買人須知 1. 簡介：本規則適用於本公司的買家，特別是對於新加入拍賣的競買人。所有拍賣品的資訊和估價都可以在相關拍賣圖錄中翻閱。如果您有任何疑問，本公司的工作人員將非常樂意為您服務。本中文條款如有任何詮釋上的問題，一概以英語版本爲準。 2. 仲介：作為拍賣行，本公司通常以代理買方的身份簽署合同。爲了保護客戶隱私權，本公司不會公開競買人的資訊。 3. 估價：估價是爲了提供競買人一個大概的價格浮動範圍。所有提供的拍賣品均設有賣家所定的保密的最低價，拍品不會以低於此價出售。圖錄上較低的估價價格即可能是該拍賣品的底價。估價不包括競買人支付的傭金和VAT增值稅。估價會在拍賣之前提供給競買人。 4. 買入價格：競買人需要付成交價和傭金（每件拍品的成交價低於£500,000 取25%，超過 £500,000 上部份取12%）+ VAT增值稅 5. VAT增值稅：買家須以有關法律所規定的稅率及時間繳付增值稅。增值稅會在成交價和傭金之上收取。帶有星號（*）的拍品是從歐盟國家進口的，將徵收20%進口VAT增值稅。帶有雙星符號（**）的拍品是從歐盟以外的國家進口的，當下的VAT增值稅為5%。如果沒有以上敘述的兩種符號，該拍品就不需要徵收VAT增值稅。 6. 威立士拍賣行：本公司是賣家的仲介，所有拍品的資訊均源自於賣家，同時也會檢查拍品的情況。本公司在關於拍品的目錄、品相報告和另外口頭與書面的所有陳述，均只屬於意見的表述，而不應依據為事實的陳述。目錄和品相報告中所提及的有關瑕疵和未經修復的敘述只作為對該拍品的參考，不應被依據為拍品的真實狀況。所以競買人在拍賣前仔細檢查拍品情況是一個明智的選擇。但如果發現拍品存在‘ 蓄意偽造’的情況，在三個星期內可能可以被退還。（蓄意偽造的詳細解釋可以在本公司的拍賣條款裏查閱） 7. 電器拍品：所有電器拍品都以古董的形式進行拍賣，如果是用於日常使用請在拍賣之前與專業電器公司確認其安全性。 8. 出口拍品：買家如果想要出口競拍所得物品需要查明：a）是否需要出口許可證。b)要攜帶入境的國家是否對該類拍品有禁令。比如說，可能會禁止攜帶象牙。如有需要請詢問本公司前臺服務。但上述的兩種情況都不作為取消交易和推遲付款的原因。

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. (As at 31st December 2020. Please refer to SOFAA website for updates to the Terms and Conditions). 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

ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT / DROIT DE SUITE

Droit de Suite is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or the artist’s heirs each time a work is resold during the artist’s lifetime and up to a period of 70 years after the artist’s death.

Royalties are calculated on a sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium. The royalty does not apply to lots selling below the sterling equivalent of €1,000 and the maximum royalty payable on any single lot is the sterling equivalent of €10,000.

Droit de Suite, which is not subject to VAT, will be added to the buyer’s purchase price and then passed on to the relevant collecting agency by the auctioneer.

Please enquire for the accepted exchange rate on the day of the sale.
