15 ZHANG DAQIAN (1899-1983) FAREWELL TO A GOOD FRIEND A Chinese painting, ink and colour on paper, inscribed and signed Shu Jun Zhang Daqian, presented to Pan Feilu (Penfield), dated the thirty-third year of the Republic Period (1944), with two artist’s seals, the reverse with a paper label which has a translation of the inscription: ‘James K Penfield (Pan Feilu), who called on me twice at Ta Feng Hall while I was out, as a token for his return to the United States’, 76cm x 43cm.
£50,000-70,000 Provenance: formerly in the collection of the late James Kedzie Penfield (1908-2004). Mr Penfield was part of an American diplomatic team which travelled during the 1930s and 1940s. In 1961, he was appointed as the American Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Iceland. The image of a scholar under a willow tree represents friends saying goodbye. Breaking a willow branch to give to a leaving friend on their departure for a long journey is a custom which can be traced back to the Han dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), and the imagery is frequently used in Chinese literature. The idea is that once the friend has arrived at their destination, they can plant the broken willow branch and it will regrow into a tree at this new place. The Chinese character for the word ‘willow tree’ is homophonous with the character liu, meaning ‘to stay’. Gifting a willow branch is therefore a gesture of asking the departing friend to stay as well as a way of showing how they will be missed and expressing good wishes for the future. This painting by Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) was a gift to his friend the late James Kedzie Penfield (1908-2004) before Mr Penfield’s return to the United States from China. Mr Penfield visited Zhang Daqian’s studio twice before leaving, but he was out both times and so they were unable to say goodbye in person. With regret and a heavy heart, Zhang Daqian painted this picture depicting himself as a scholar underneath a willow tree as a means of saying farewell and wishing his old friend all the best for the future.
張大千(1899-1983)柳畔送友圖 設色紙本 立軸 款識:潘飛露先生兩過予大風堂不遇傾墨美國寫此以送其行,中華民國三十三年十二月蜀郡張大千寫。 鈐印:張爰、三千大千。 來源:潘飛露先生(1908-2004)舊藏,畢業於斯坦福大學,遂加入美國外交大使團訪華。在其工作期間結識了張大千等著名藝術家及名流。 註:古有詩經云:昔我往矣,楊柳依依。明代郭登詩:年年長自送行人,折尽邊城路旁柳。在潘飛露先生回美之前,曾兩顧大風堂訪大千而不 遇。張大千聞之,借古人折柳贈別寓意,做高士圖立於飛絮之下,回首遙望遠方,以此聊寄不捨之情。

Provenance: from a private collection, Hampshire.

Tay Bak Koi is one of Singapore’s most renowned second generation artists. He studied at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in the late 1950s under the guidance of pioneer artist Cheong Soo Pieng (1917-1983), training in the traditions of both Western and Eastern painting. Tay is best known for his romantic representations of fishing scenes, urban landscapes and stylised depictions of water buffalo and his work is considered to have made a notable impact upon the modernist oeuvre in Southeast Asia.
Yong Munsen is known as the father of modern Malaysian painting, and one of the founders of the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore and then Malaya. In 1922 he moved to Penang, where these paintings were produced.

40 A CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE ‘PING SHENG SAN JI’ BRUSHPOT, BITONG TRANSITIONAL C.1640 The waisted body flaring at the foot and towards the rim, the exterior painted with a man presenting three halberds in a vase to an official, the scene divided by swirling clouds and rocky cliffs, all contained within incised borders encircling the rim and foot, 18.7cm.
£6,000-8,000 Provenance: from a British private collection, purchased from Bluett Oriental Arts Ltd on 6th September 1990. A copy of the invoice is available. The image of a vase containing three halberds forms the rebus ping sheng san ji meaning ‘may you rise three ranks in quick succession’ and thus expresses the wish for an imminent promotion. Cf. R Chen, Qing Shunzhi Kangxi Chao Qinghua Ci (Qing Dynasty Shunzhi and Kangxi Blue and White Porcelain), pp.92-93, no.49 for a transitional vase decorated with a similar scene also including the ping sheng san ji motif.

42 A RARE LARGE CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE DISH SIX CHARACTER KANGXI MARK AND EARLY IN THE PERIOD 1662-1722 Painted with a lady standing in a garden wearing flowing robes, she holds a fan in one hand and a sprig of osmanthus held up towards the sun in the other, she presents the flower to a young boy, the reverse with a paper label for Marchant, 35.8cm.
£8,000-12,000 Provenance: from a British private collection, purchased from Marchant, London, on 4th December 2002. A copy of the invoice is available. The Chinese word for osmanthus is guihua which is homophonous with guizi meaning ‘your honourable son’. The image of a lady pointing osmanthus towards the sun therefore expresses the wish for a son to be a scholar-official holding a high position in court. The bamboo in the background is emblematic of the scholar’s upright character because it is a tough plant which bends in the storm but never breaks. The plum blossom is also symbolic of the moral strength required to be an official, as they are hardy plants which survive through the winter. Cf. S Marchant & Son, Exhibition of Seventeenth-Century Blue and White and Copper-red and their Predecessors, p.50, no.48 for a similar dish with this design; see also R Chen, Qing Shunzhi Kangxi Chao Qinghua Ci (Qing Dynasty Shunzhi and Kangxi Blue and White Porcelain), p.123, no.61 for a similarly painted Kangxi dish in the collection of the Palace Museum; see also M Butler and Q Wang, Seventeenth Century Jingdezhen Porcelain from the Shanghai Museum and the Butler Collections, pp.132-133, no.32 for another related example.

92 A RARE CHINESE BAMBOO GILT AND LACQUERED SCHOLAR’S TEAPOT AND COVER YONGZHENG/QIANLONG The compressed circular body with a loop handle and spout, with gilt ruyi-heads centred by red lacquer encircling the rim, the cover decorated with two flowers set amidst stylised leafy tendrils and delicate scrollwork, the recessed base incised Jiezhai zao which can be translated as ‘made in the studio of restraint’, 12.1cm. (2)
£1,500-2,500 Cf. Christie’s Hong Kong, 2nd December 2015, lot 3139 for another bamboo root teapot and cover with this mark; see also Bonhams Hong Kong, 28th November 2011, lot 250 for a Yongzheng Yixing inkstone and lacquer box decorated with comparable gilt scrolls. The lacquer decoration on this unusual bamboo teapot is comparable to that on Japanese lacquer pieces, particularly the delicate scrollwork to the cover and band of foliage resembling karakusa scrolls. The Yongzheng Emperor is known to have greatly admired Japanese works of art and aesthetics, and he was especially fond of Japanese maki-e lacquer with gold decoration. There were a large number of Japanese maki-e pieces in the collection of the Qing court. However, the Yongzheng Emperor’s appreciation for Japanese lacquer led him not only to collect pieces made in Japan, but also to order imitation works from domestic Imperial workshops. Yongzheng is believed to have been the first Qing emperor to commission such imitation pieces, and this was to be continued by his son the Qianlong Emperor. These imitation pieces appear to have been valued as equal to rather than inferior to authentic Japanese examples. Aside from pure imitations, Yongzheng also encouraged the application of Japanese lacquerware designs on other media, including porcelain and enamel. An enamelled gilt-copper inro-style case produced in the Qing court workshops and now in the National Palace Museum collection is one example of these kind of pieces produced under the Yongzheng Emperor’s reign. For a more in-depth discussion on Japanese lacquer in 18th century China, see K Kleutghen, Imports and Imitations: The Taste for Japanese Lacquer in Eighteenth-Century China and France, Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies, vol.17, no.2, Spring 2017, pp.175-206.

111 AN EIGHTEEN CARAT GOLD SPECTACLE CASE PRESENTED BY HIS MAJESTY KING CHULALONGKORN, RAMA V, TO CAPTAIN JOHN BUSH 19TH CENTURY With a hinged cover, one side incised with an elephant and with an inscription reading ‘Presented by His Majesty the King of Siam to The Honble Captain John Bush KCWE, 25 March 1873’, together with a portrait of King Chulalongkorn and a red lacquer display tray, the case 13cm, 163g. (3)
£10,000-15,000 On 18th April 1855, the Bowring Treaty was signed between the Kingdom of Siam and the United Kingdom. The agreement liberalised foreign trade in Siam and also led to the establishment of a British Consulate in Bangkok. A few years later, Captain (later Admiral) John Bush KCWE (1819-1905) arrived in Bangkok and, due to the rapid increase in foreign shipping, was appointed as Bangkok’s Harbour Master by King Mongkut, Rama IV (1804-68). Bush held this post for thirty years and served under both King Rama IV and his son King Chulalongkorn, Rama V (1853-1910). The solid gold case was presented to Bush on 25th March 1873 by the young King Chulalongkorn, who was only nineteen. The previous year, Captain Bush had commanded three Royal Siam Navy ships during a successful trip the King made to British India, and this case was most probably a gift of appreciation and thanks. The two men remained close friends thereafter and after Bush’s death in 1905, the King himself paid for an impressive memorial which still stands in the Protestant cemetery in Charoen Krung Road, Bangkok.

LIONEL DE ROTHSCHILD (1882-1942)
Lionel de Rothschild, OBE (1882-1942) was the eldest son of Leopold de Rothschild and part of the prominent Rothschild banking family of England. After the death of his father in 1917, Lionel and his brother Anthony became the managing partners of N M Rothschild & Sons bank. Aside from his involvement in the family bank, Lionel was also a Conservative politician, serving as MP for the Vale of Aylesbury from 1910 to 1923. After selling Halton House which he had inherited from his uncle Alfred de Rothschild in 1918, the following year Lionel purchased the Mitford estate at Exbury in Hampshire. Lionel had been interested in horticulture from an early age and dedicated much time and money into creating an impressive garden at Exbury. He was also responsible for the building of Exbury House on the estate in the 1920s. Lionel passed away in 1942, and the estate was inherited by his son Edmund de Rothschild (1916-2009) who devoted himself not only to the family business but also to maintaining and developing Exbury Gardens which had fallen into disrepair during the Second World War. Whilst Exbury House remains private, the gardens are open to the public and are still regarded as some of the finest in the United Kingdom today. The lots offered in this sale were in the collection of Lionel de Rothschild at Exbury House and subsequently passed by descent to Edmund. Lionel de Rothschild (1882-1942)是Leopold de Rothschild的大兒子並執掌一部分的英格蘭Rothschild家族銀行。1917年,在其父親去
世之後,Lionel及他的兄弟Anthony成為了N M Rothschild & Sons 銀行的合夥人。除此之外,他還是一個保守黨政治領袖之一並 在1910至1923之間他曾擔任Vale of Aylesbury的國會議員。賣掉他從叔叔那裡繼承的Halton莊園之後的第二年,他買下了漢普郡 的Mitford莊園的Exbury別墅。Lionel一直鍾情於園藝,在買下Exbury別墅之後他花費了大量的時間和金錢打造他心目中最完美的 英式花園。1942年Lionel去世之後,他的兒子Edmund de Rothschild (1916-2009)繼承並致力於家族企業,且重建被二戰銷毀 的Exbury花園。如今Exbury別墅沒有對外開放,但其花園是英國最著名的花園之一,每年絡繹不絕的訪客慕名而來。此次上拍 的兩件拍品为Lionel de Rothschild的藏品,之后由Edmund de Rothschild继承。

112 A PAIR OF LARGE AND IMPOSING CHINESE LAPIS LAZULI MODELS OF ELEPHANTS QING DYNASTY Each elephant stands four-square with its large tusks highlighted in gilt, they support gilt-metal saddle blankets and zun-shaped vases inlaid with colourful stones upon their backs, the vessels contain many bronze branches of lingzhi from which bunches of hardstone fruits hang, each item surmounted by five later European sconces, all raised on elaborate gilt-bronze rectangular pedestals decorated with lotus scrolls in coral, turquoise and other jewels, overall height 57cm and 55cm. (2)
£20,000-30,000 Provenance: Lionel de Rothschild (1882-1942), Edmund de Rothschild (1916-2009), the Trustees of Exbury House. Cf. The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Treasures of Imperial Court, p.32, no.25 for a comparable pair of metal-mounted lapis lazuli elephants carrying vases; see also Compendium of Collections in the Palace Museum, Enamels, 4, Cloisonné in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), p.55, no.25 for a related champlevé jardinière with lotus decoration similar to the base. 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. Due to their association with this phrase, during the Qing dynasty live elephants carrying vases on their backs were featured in processions celebrating the emperor’s birthday. Their presence at these ceremonies was hoped to ensure long-lasting national peace and security under the reign of the ruling emperor. The elephant itself is also symbolic of peace and stability because it is a heavy animal which stands firmly with its four feet flat on the floor.

As symbols of regeneration, they are believed to have the power to bring or withhold rains and to recover gems, both material and spiritual.

£12,000-15,000 Provenance: formerly a European private collection, acquired prior to 1990, and then sold at Christie’s South Kensington on 11th November 2015, lot 525. Cf. The British Museum, museum no.PDF,B.572 for a Yongzheng mark and period Ru-type zun vase decorated with a similar glaze; see also Asian Art I, 14th November 2017, lot 130 for another Ru-type archaistic vase from this period sold in these rooms. The glaze on this vase is an interpretation of Ru ware, which is often considered as one of the most celebrated of all wares from the Song dynasty. Whilst imitation pieces with Ru glazes were produced for the Ming Imperial Court as early as the 15th century, the reproduction of this glaze on porcelain became significantly more popular in the Qing dynasty, first under the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor and then in the Qianlong period. The Yongzheng Emperor is known to have been enamoured with antiquity and he was especially fond of Song pieces with this glaze. It is possible that the revitalisation of Ru ware glazes during the Yongzheng period was achieved by 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.

158 † A CHINESE IMPERIAL FLAMBE GLAZED BOTTLE VASE SIX CHARACTER QIANLONG MARK AND OF THE PERIOD 1736-95 The elegant pear-shaped body surmounted by a tall slender neck and raised on a short circular foot, all covered with a vivid lavender-blue glaze with large splashes of deep magenta, the base glazed brown and finely incised with the reign mark, 34.5cm.
£50,000-70,000 Provenance: formerly a South American private collection. Cf. Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 8th April 2011, lot 3027 for a related Qianlong vase. It is believed that flambé glazes were an eighteenth century attempt to recreate Song dynasty Jun wares. Whilst it has been suggested that flambé glazes were first achieved, albeit possibly accidentally, in the late Kangxi period (1662-1722), pieces decorated with this distinctive abstract glaze were first commissioned by the Yongzheng Emperor (r.1723-35) and remained popular during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor. The two emperors’ fondness for such pieces reflects their admiration and reverence for classical Jun pieces of the Song. See R Kerr, Chinese Ceramics: Porcelain of the Qing Dynasty 1644-1911, pp.75 and 78 for a more detailed discussion on this glaze.

£4,000-6,000 Provenance: from a deceased estate, Dorset, purchased from Artemesia, Alresford on 18th December 1997 for £200. A copy of the invoice is available. Cf.

Apricot blossoms are associated with the second month in the lunar calendar. As the civil service examinations were held at this time of year, apricot blossoms are regarded as the ‘flowers for passing exams’ and successful candidates were invited to a banquet held in the Imperial gardens called ‘the spring banquet in the apricot grove’. The couplet is from a poem by Tang dynasty poet Qian Qi (710-780 AD) and may be translated as ‘Its elegant fragrance blends with the scent of overnight rain, its beautiful colour stands out in the morning mist.’

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
