PROPERTY FROM AN IMPORTANT PRIVATE COLLECTION

Frederick McCubbin (1855-1917) was one the prominent figures behind the development of Australian Impressionism, otherwise referred to as the Heidelberg School Movement, which consisted of a group of landscape painters including Arthur Streeton (1867-1943) and Tom Roberts (1856-1931).

As a young boy, he began to sketch in his free time and even lost one of his jobs for sketching during work hours. He enrolled at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School in 1870, where later in his life he taught for the remainder of his career. During his early career, he encountered fellow thinkers who undoubtedly influenced his progress in plein air painting. He befriended fellow artists Louis Abrahams (1852-1903) and Charles Douglas Richardson (1853-1932) whilst attending evening classes at the Artisans School of Design at Carlton from 1867 to 1870. It is believed that his acquaintance with Louis Buvelot (1814-1888) influenced his decision to pursue academic training; Buvelot was a Swiss-born artist whose naturalistic landscapes of the domesticated Australian countryside had a profound impact on McCubbin’s later work. During his education, he was led by a romantic landscape painter Eugene von Guérard (1811-1901) and later George Folingsby (1828-1891), an artist whose primary interest lay in academic figure and narrative painting and who had a substantial influence on McCubbin’s development.

McCubbin was a member of the Australian Artist Association, which merged with the Victorian Academy of Art in 1888 and was elected to the Council Victorian Artists’ Society in 1888; he became President of the society in 1903-1904 and 1909–1910.

McCubbin’s recurrent subject matter was of the countryside or abandoned places where nature surrounded and appeared overgrown. The presented work, Shepherd’s Hut, Macedon, encapsulates McCubbin’s ability to portray luminosity and utilise a vibrant palette.

£800 - 1,200

Kitchen Bridge, also known as Wren Bridge, is the second oldest surviving bridge over the river Cam, Cambridge. The bridge was designed by Sir Christopher Wren (1632 - 1723) and built by Robert Grumbold between 1709-1711. The unusual name for the bridge derives from the fact that, when the New Court building was completed in 1825, it had a dining hall but no kitchens. At meal times, food for the students continued to be prepared in the Old Court Kitchens and carried across the Kitchen Bridge.

This work will be included in the forthcoming Gustave Loiseau catalogue raisonné currently being prepared by Didier Imbert. A certificate confirming this is included with the lot.

We are grateful to Didier Imbert for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.

Gustave Loiseau (1865-1935) was a notable member of the Post-Impressionist movement that was established in France by the end of the 19th Century. In 1881 his parents retired to the picturesque countryside of Pontoise, in the north of Paris. Like other artists such as Cézanne and Pissarro, Loiseau became inspired by its beauty and artistic heritage. It became evident that Loiseau would not follow in the footsteps of his Father, who ran a butcher shop. Instead, he began to practice decorative art as an apprentice to a family friend.

Loiseau continued his artistic education at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs and in 1889 he practiced at the studio of the landscape painter Fernand Quignon (1854-1941). Under Quignon’s tutelage, Loiseau honed his skills in landscape painting. From the summer of 1890, he began to frequent at Pont-Aven, in Britannia. Loiseau was a shy, nature-loving person; it was easier for him to reconnect in his surroundings with equal thinkers outside of Paris, such as Emile Bernard and Henry Moret, who resided in the same inn as him.

Loiseau’s paintings from this period highlight the influence of the Pont-Aven School, known for creating the Synthesist movement that detached the new art from Impressionism and put forward a new perspective into the period of Modern Art.

Loiseau’s career flourished when he was introduced to the art dealer Monsieur Le Barc, who welcomed many of the Nabis and other Post-Impressionist painters at his gallery in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. His recognition was reflected in his successful sales and exhibitions. Loiseau joined the Société des Artistes Indépendants in 1893, exhibiting six paintings at their annual Salon in Paris. That same year, he participated in the Exposition des peintres impressionnistes et symbolistes at Le Barc de Boutteville. He began to frequently exhibit his works alongside other Post-Impressionists and in 1896 he was selected for the annual Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. When he died in 1935, the Salon des Independants honoured his life and work with a retrospective exhibition.

Henri Lebasque was born in Western France in 1865 and went on to become a respected post-impressionist painter. The artist began his education at the École régionale des beauxarts d’Angers, before moving to Paris in 1886. In Paris, he studied under Léon Bonnat and immersed himself in the art scene, meeting figures such as Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard. In 1903 Lebasque became a founding member of the Salon d’Automne, an exhibition held yearly in Paris. The present example showcases the artist’s ability to work with a vibrant palette.

£400 - 600

Lorser Feitelson, a painter and art theorist, played a significant role in the development of abstract art in California. He was born in Savannah, Georgia, and began his artistic training at the Art Students League in New York City.

Feitelson’s artistic style evolved over time. In the 1920s, he painted in a representational manner, influenced by modernism and post-impressionism. However, he gradually shifted towards abstraction, incorporating geometric shapes and vibrant colors in his work. He developed a style known as “Hard-Edge” painting, characterised by precisely defined geometric forms and sharply delineated colour areas.

As an art theorist, Feitelson wrote extensively on the subject of abstract art and its significance. He advocated for the use of abstract forms as a means of expressing universal ideas and emotions. He believed that abstract art had the potential to convey a deeper understanding of the world, transcending mere representation.

We are grateful to Mathias Chivot at Archives Vuillard, for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.

Jean-Édouard Vuillard was born in Cruiseax where he spent his early childhood. His early education was spent the Lycée Fontaine (now known as the Lycée Condorcet), where he received a scholarship to study rhetoric and art. Notably, Vuillard went on to become a prominent member of Les Nabis, an Avant Garde artistic group of young French artists who influenced the transition from Impressionism to abstract art. At the Lycée Fontaine, he met many future members of this group such as Maurice Denis, Ker-Xavier Roussel, and Pierre Véber.

Vuillard decided not to follow in the footsteps of his Father who pursued a career in the military, and instead attended the studio of Diogène Ulysse Napoléon Maillart. After persistent attempts Vuillard was accepted to enter the École des Beaux-Arts in 1887 where his artistic career began to flourish.

The present example was commissioned from the artist by Émile Lévy; the first mention of this in the artist’s journal appears on the 5th of February 1915, in which Vuillard writes ‘at Émile Lévy’s [,] question [of] decorative art [,] asks me again [for a]small panel’. The work showcases a subject that was unusual for Vuillard. Here we see two young infants playing together, surrounded by varying objects. It is thought that the artist was influenced by playful depictions of putti (usually winged infants who appear in much religious art).

It is believed that the infant on the right of the work is Lucie Belin’s son, whom Vuillard refers to regularly in his journal. Throughout these many entries it is made apparent that this kind of composition was one that the artist found difficult. Vuillard continued to touch up the final work until April 1916 when it entered DR Widmer’s collection in Switzerland.

André Lanskoy (1902-1976) began his career in Paris with works more akin to primitivism and futuristic still-life, however he gained recognition for his abstract compositions as his career developed. His abstract works showcase harmonious structures and exploitation of colour.

Lanskoy was born into a family of a Count and thus was forced to migrate from Imperial Russia with his family during the outbreak of the Revolution in 1917. He stayed in Kyiv for two years where he began painting in watercolour and gouache while attending the studio of Aleksandra Ekster (1882-1949), a prominent avant-garde stage decorator and artist. This acquaintance influenced Lanskoy’s vision. The artist recalled being inspired by the works of Diego Velázquez (1599-1660), El Greco (1541-1614) Vasily Kandinsky (1866-1944) and Paul Klee (1879-1940). Whilst living in Paris, Montparnasse, he quickly developed a foundation of admirers of his work and began exhibiting at the Salon d’Automne in 1923.

He began to shift from figuration in his works, turning his objects into geometrical forms. His work gives president to the role of colour and its ability to disrupt form.

CLAUDE VENARD (FRENCH, 1913-1999)

£7,000 - 10,000

Provenance

Sale; Patrick Deburaux, Paris, 26 June 2008, lot 221, where purchased by the present owners

Post-Cubist painter Claude Venard was born into a Burgundian family in 1913. Taking evening painting classes at the age of 17 and then working as a restorer for the Louvre at the age of 23 due to financial pressures, his training in the arts was tremendously enhanced. In 1938, his work was exhibited in Paris alongside other artists within the ‘Forces Nouvelles’ group.

Venard initially followed and contributed to the Forces Novelle group’s rigorous disciplines. But like many of his members, he soon gave it up in search for his own individual expression. Throughout his career and throughout his life, Venard held numerous successful displays of his work. He exhibited many one-man shows in Paris, throughout France and in the United States.

A prolific painter, Venard had a preference for still-life and cityscapes which he delivered in a spatial, quasi-abstract yet always faithfully post-cubist style. The present example showcases this geometric composition, with strong lines and thick impasto.

Grace McArthur was an American folk artist based in Michigan. She began painting later in life, age 50 once she was already a great grandmother. She previously enjoyed working with ceramics, but developed an allergy to one of the materials, needing a new creative outlet she turned to painting. McArthur painted scenes of rural life, with bright images bustling with figures, buildings, and nature. McArthur’s naive style is painted without preliminary sketches, archetypal motifs are featured in this painting; a red brick schoolhouse, children playing ring around the rosie and a tiny American flag. We can also see McArthur’s sense of humour with a boy being chased by a dog.

Provenance

The dark, sardonic humour that permeates British visual artist David Shrigley’s artwork draws attention to the ridiculousness of our common hopes and concerns. In addition to creating sculptures and videos, he also writes books and conducts “public interventions” that he later photographs. His most well-known work is undoubtedly his drawings, which are easily recognisable due to their purposefully crude, infantile appearance. Shrigley is well-known for never drawing the same item twice; because his drawings are shown or published exactly as Shrigley originally sketched them, they frequently have missing letters and other typos. In addition to being displayed in art galleries, his illustrations have been featured in publications, record covers, and greeting cards, among other popular media.

Unlike any other art on the contemporary market, Robin Coleman has generated his very own unique style of pop art. Previously working exclusively in paint, Coleman soon began to explore a wider array of media. Including elements ranging from magazine cuttings and newsprints to vintage comic book characters, often taken directly from the original publication, Coleman also pays homage to other artists in his work like Roy Lichtenstein.

Beginning painting in 2014, Sophie Tea had no experience and no strong artist connections. After nine years, she has successfully used social media’s limitless potential to establish her brand as a cult favourite. Tea’s narrative can be seen through various artistic eras that correspond with significant turning points in her artistic career. A “Sophie Tea” is instantly identifiable due to her vivid colour choices, exuberant drips, and distinctive splats that contribute to her work; she now exhibits some of her works from her Carnaby Street gallery.

Provenance

The artist, 31 October 2018, from whom commissioned by the present owner

Gerald Scarfe is a British artist and political cartoonist is best known for his work with the iconic rock band Pink Floyd. Born on June 1, 1936, in London, Scarfe gained prominence for his distinctive and often satirical artistic style. He became associated with Pink Floyd during the making of their 1977 album “Animals.”

Scarfe’s collaboration with Pink Floyd extended beyond album artwork to include the creation of animations for their live shows. One of his most notable contributions is the animation sequences in the film adaptation of Pink Floyd’s album “The Wall,” released in 1982. Scarfe’s animations, which blend his surreal and often dark imagery with the band’s music, played a significant role in the visual representation of Pink Floyd’s concept albums.

His work with Pink Floyd also includes the cover art for “The Wall” album, featuring his distinctive illustrations and the iconic “marching hammers” imagery. Scarfe’s art reflects the themes of alienation, war, and authoritarianism explored in Pink Floyd’s music.

In addition to his collaboration with Pink Floyd, Gerald Scarfe has had a successful career as a political cartoonist for various publications, including The Sunday Times. His work often critiques political figures and societal issues with a sharp and satirical edge.

Overall, Gerald Scarfe’s artistic contributions have left an indelible mark on the visual representation of Pink Floyd’s music, making him an integral part of the band’s history.

Term and Conditions for Buyers at Chiswick Auctions

1. BEFORE THE SALE

1.1 Agent for the seller

Unless otherwise agreed, Chiswick Auctions Ltd, hereafter referred to as CA LTD acts as agent for the seller. The contract for sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.

1.2 Definitions

For the purposes of the current Terms and Conditions, the Seller shall be defined as the owner of the Goods. It is implied that the Seller is the legitimate owner and is authorised to sell the Lot.

The Bidder is any registered person participating in the auction, and the Buyer is the successful Bidder for a particular Lot.

The Lot means the item(s) put up for sale by CA Ltd and to which the present Terms and Conditions apply.

1.3 Catalogue descriptions

Any representation in any catalogue or otherwise as to the origin, date, age, attribution, authenticity or estimated selling price of any lot is a statement of opinion only. Such statements do not constitute a representation warranty or assumption of liability by CA Ltd in relation to the Lot. Any prospective Buyer should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the reliability of the catalogue description. The absence of mention related to prior restorations in the catalogue descriptions does not imply that the good is exempt thereof. Photographs of any Lot provided by CA Ltd are for indicative purposes only and are not deemed to be a precise representation of the said Lot.

The Buyer is advised to seek independent expert advice in order to be assured of the authenticity and true state of the good.

1.4 Inspection

Prior to auction, prospective purchasers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested to satisfy themselves in relation to matters which may concern them.

1.5 Condition report

CA Ltd may issue a Condition Report on request prior to the sale. This Condition Report is for identification purposes only and cannot be considered as giving a precise account of the Lot’s true state. Thus, some imperfections and faults may not be accounted for in the Condition Report.

As aforementioned, and in the absence of any contractual value of the Condition report, it is the Buyer’s sole duty to inspect in person the Lot in order to be assured of its true condition and CA Ltd shall not be responsible for assertions within the Condition Report hereto.

1.6 Electricals

All electrical items are sold as seen and CA Ltd offers no guarantee as to the working condition of such items or their safety.

It is the Buyer’s duty to take necessary steps to be assured that the Lot is safe for normal use.

1.7 Estimates

Estimates are based on various factors inherent to the situation of the market at the time of the sale, as well as considerations such as the condition, rarity, or quality of the item etc. Estimates are only indicative and represent the opinion of CA Ltd. Estimates provided by CA Ltd cannot constitute a guarantee as to the value of the good. Subsequently, goods may sell at prices lower or higher than the provided estimates.

1.8 Reserves

Many Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum sale price. The reserve will never exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. CA Ltd may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller, and may in

their discretion continue to bid up to the reserve price. This can be achieved by bidding in response to other bidders or alternatively by placing consecutive bids.

1.9 Registration to the sale

New bidders will need to register prior to the sale. It is strongly advised bidders register at least 24 hours before the sale. Registration thereafter shall be at the auctioneer’s entire discretion.

International bidders may be required to register 48 hours before the sale and to submit bank details.

A deposit may be requested prior to each sale.

Failure to register shall result in the impossibility for the bidder to purchase a Lot.

1.10 Proof of identity

Bidders not previously known to CA Ltd will be required to provide:

• Official proof of identity in the form of a passport or photocard driving licence. No other forms of ID are acceptable.

• Proof of address of main residence. Only official documents showing name and address will be accepted.

• Both landline and mobile telephone numbers

• A bank reference for foreign bidders may be requested

• Corporate clients will have to provide a certificate of incorporation prior to the auction, along with the representative’s ID in accordance with the abovementioned requirements for proof of identity.

Any Bidder that does not match the provided identity for registration may not purchase during the sale.

2. DURING THE SALE

2.1 Attendance at auction

Attending the auction in person is recommended.

CA Ltd has the right at their absolute discretion to refuse participation in any auction, to reject any bid, and to refuse admission to the premises.

Bidders are not obliged to be present in person at the auction. Absentee bidders shall be required to make necessary arrangements with CA Ltd prior to the sale.

2.2 Personal bidding

Bidders attending the auction in person shall be required to collect a unique bidding paddle prior to bidding in the sale.

2.3 Commission bids

CA Ltd will use reasonable efforts to carry out Commission bids received by them prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person. Execution of Commission bids is a free service provided to help clients and CA Ltd does not accept liability for any failure to execute a Commission bid or for errors and omissions in connection with it.

Commission bids shall be executed at the lowest possible price, subject to competing bids and reserves. Although CA Ltd will endeavour to inform Buyers, it is the Buyer’s responsibility to check if they have been successful in purchasing a Lot.

In the event of multiple commission bids set at the same price, the first registered commission bid will take priority.

2.4 Telephone bids

If a bidder is not able to attend in person an auction, CA Ltd will use reasonable efforts to contact prospective Buyers who make arrangements prior to commencement of the sale to bid by telephone.

CA Ltd cannot be held responsible in the event of issues affecting connectivity, resulting in the loss of a chance of purchasing the Lot for the Bidder.

2.5 Internet bids

Some sales may be available to internet bidding, as well as personal attendance. In this event, CA Ltd shall not be held responsible for issues affecting connection. In addition to having our own in-house online bidding platform, some sales are also offered with online live bidding by third party platforms, CA Ltd is not responsible for any issues that may arise during registration or untilising said platforms. CA ltd encourages prospective bidders to bid directly with Chiswick Live or via traditional direct in-house means wherever possible.

2.6 Bidding on behalf of someone

A Buyer may bid by proxy. In this event, proof of identity of both the Buyer and the proxy must be communicated to CA Ltd prior to the sale. A copy of the mandate shall also be required.

2.7 Bidding on an item

Bid incrementation is at the auctioneer’s entire discretion.

2.8 Video transmission

For the purpose of the sale, Lots may be displayed on video during the auction. In the event of transmission issues, CA Ltd shall not be held responsible for any subsequent outcome.

2.9 Online-only auctions

Some auctions may only be available to bidders via an online platform sale. In this event, Buyers have a 14 day period from the receipt of goods to withdraw from the sale, in accordance with EU Consumer Law. This returns policy relates only to lots where physical viewing of lots prior to sale is not offered by CA Ltd.

2.10 Dispute resolution during the auction

Any dispute shall be settled at the auctioneer’s absolute discretion. Under no circumstances will a sale be cancelled after the fall of the hammer, except at the auctioneer’s entire discretion.

3. CONTRACT FORMATION AND EFFECTS

3.1 Contract of sale

The contract of sale is between the Buyer and the Seller. The Buyer shall be the bidder at the highest price at the fall of the hammer. The sale is deemed complete once the auctioneer announces its completion by the fall of the hammer and the contract shall be binding thereafter between the Buyer and the Seller and CA Ltd.

When a Buyer purchases multiple Lots, each Lot is the subject of a separate contract of sale.

3.2 Transfer of property

Property of the goods shall pass to the Buyer only once CA Ltd has received full payment for the goods, this includes the price at the fall of the hammer as well as Buyer’s premium, relevant taxes, and costs in relation to shipping.

3.3 Transfer of risks

Purchased Lots shall be at the Buyer’s risk in all respects from the fall of the hammer, and neither CA Ltd nor their agents shall be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.

3.4 Cancellation of the sale

At the fall of the hammer, the contract is formed between the Buyer and CA Ltd and is binding thereafter.

Under no circumstances can the Buyer cancel the sale.

CA Ltd may at its entire discretion, during or after the auction, cancel the sale of the Lot or reoffer and resell the Lot if it becomes aware of any error or dispute of any nature, whether or not title has passed to the Buyer, and up to a period of 6 months after the said sale.

Grounds for cancellation under the present section shall include but not be limited to any dispute relating to the attribution or provenance of the Lot, ownership and title, fraud or deceit, lack of relevant licences or certificates, any subsequent changes in domestic or international legislations restricting the sale of export of goods etc.

In the event of internet-only auctions (where are no offered advanced physical viewing times), the Buyer shall have a 14 day right to retract, after receipt of the Lot, under EU Consumer Law. Public auctions are not covered by this right to retract.

4. AFTER THE SALE

4.1

Payment

All purchased lots must be paid for on the day of the auction. Commission bids must be paid for no later than the day after the auction. Payment must be made by cash, debit, credit card or bank transfer. We do not accept cheques. We do not currently accept American Express.

CA ltd adheres strictly to current anti-money laundering regulations and reserves the right to refuse payment or cancel the sale of any lot, should suspicion or evidence of regulation infringement arise.

Cash payments shall not be receivable for amounts over €10,000, regardless of the payment being for one or multiple Lots. As of 2020, new directives also extend to other forms of payment where the amount is in excess of €10,000 and this may require further information sharing covering both buyers and sellers.

Should it encounter contravention of said regulations, or is unable to bring buyers/sellers into line with said regulations through advice and support, CA ltd reserves the right to cancel any lot transaction and offer said lots to underbidders and where applicable will notify the relevant authority of the suspected contravention if deemed intentional.

Payments made by someone other than the registered Buyer shall not be accepted.

Title will not pass to the Buyer until CA Ltd has received all amounts due to them in cleared funds even if the Lot has been released to the Buyer.

4.2 Buyer’s Premium

The Buyer will pay CA Ltd a premium of 26% on the hammer price plus VAT on that premium on the first £500,000 and 12% plus VAT on the balance thereafter. A Buyer’s Premium of 21% plus VAT is charged on Wine & Spirits Lots.

The VAT payable varies by symbol as below:

• Where the Buyer owes sums to CA Ltd in respect of different transactions, to discretionarily apply any sum paid by the Buyer for discharge of any owed sums.

• To refuse entry to the Buyer at any future auction and/or reject any future bids by the Buyer and/or seek a deposit from the Buyer entirely in the discretion of CA Ltd.

• To exercise a lien over the Buyer’s property in the possession of CA Ltd as collateral for any outstanding sums owed and to exercise

• To commence legal proceedings for the recovery of the total amount due together with interest, legal fees and costs.

• To take such other action as is permissible by Law and in the discretion of CA Ltd.

Any delay in collection must be communicated clearly to CA Ltd in advance of the collection deadline and CA Ltd reserves the right to impose charges thereafter at its utter discretion (see 4.7).

4.8 Storage

CA Ltd offers a discretionary 14 days free storage on purchased and unsold Lots from the date of the sale.

CA Ltd shall be entitled to retain said Lots until all sums due have been paid to CA Ltd. If any lot remains uncollected 21 days after the sale, storage charges shall thereafter be £10/£20 (smalls/larger items) per day and CA Ltd shall, in accordance with the Law, have the right to sell the purchased Lot to recover payment of storage charges outstanding.

CA Ltd does not accept liability for loss or damage occurring to Lots after the sale. CA Ltd will use reasonable efforts when handling Lots, but shall not be responsible for any loss or damages that may occur whilst the said Lot is in any third party’s care.

4.11

Cultural Goods import and export restrictions

Cultural goods may be subject to import and export restrictions. Under EU Regulations related to the trade of cultural goods, export licences may be required for export outside of the European Union if the item’s value exceeds the EU threshold. Under UK Law, a licence may also be required for intra-EU trade.

Licenses are issued by Arts Council England and it is the Buyer’s duty to obtain them. Some countries restrict the import of specific cultural goods. For example, the United States prohibits the import of preColumbian monumental or architectural sculpture or murals, as well as any cultural goods in provenance from some countries subject to armed conflicts.

The Buyer must verify local legislation prior to the sale in order to be assured that import or export is possible.

4.12 CITES

Import and export restrictions

Certain endangered species are listed in the CITES Convention. Listed specimens and any parts or products thereof are subject to issuance of an export permit when leaving the European Union.

Appendix I species, are also subject to issuance of a prior import permit from the country in which the goods are to be imported. Such permits are necessary before applying for export permits and it is the Buyer’s duty to initiate the proceedings with the relevant authority. The Buyer must be aware that certain countries prohibit the import of some species or any parts or products derived thereof. For example, the United States prohibit all import of African elephant ivory, and any item containing parts that may merely resemble African elephant ivory must be accompanied by relevant documentation stating it is not the latter.

Worked items that are dated before 1947 are exempt from import restrictions for intra-EU trade and shall not require export licences. Please be aware that all Lots marked with the symbol λ are subject to CITES regulations.

4.13 Limitation of liability regarding CITES export licenses

Where licences are required for importing or exporting outside of the European Union, it is the Buyer’s duty to obtain them. CA Ltd cannot be held responsible if the Buyer’s application for an export permit is unsuccessful. Subsequently, in the event of failure thereof, CA Ltd shall not permit cancellation or rescission of the sale.

4.14 Warranties

CA Ltd does not provide the Buyer with warranties relating to any Lot, unless required by Law.

4.15 Authenticity warranty

In the event of a Lot being sold as authentic under the catalogue description and the Buyer provides evidence in the form of a written report by a recognised expert or test results that the said Lot is not authentic, CA Ltd will refund the purchase price.

The Buyer shall give notice to CA Ltd within 28 days from knowledge or any event giving reasons for suspecting that the item is not authentic, and within one year of the said sale. Any claim thereafter shall not be receivable. For the purposes of the present paragraph, authenticity shall be defined as the state of a Lot that is genuine and not a forgery or a copy.

5. ANTIQUITIES AND TRIBAL ART

5.1 Import and export restrictions and regulations

Archaeological goods over 100 years of age, unless covered by exemption of limited scientific interest, will require an EU Licence for export to a third country, regardless of their value.

It is recommended that the Buyer contact the Export Licensing Unit at Arts Council England in order to be assured the good is or not of limited archaeological or scientific interest.

Archaeological goods found on United-Kingdom soil or in UK territorial waters over 50 years of age shall require a UK Licence regardless of their value and regardless of the export destination. Other archaeological objects regardless of their origin will require an Individual Licence or OGEL depending on their value.

Both European-Union and UK Licences may be required simultaneously for some items. It is the Buyer’s duty to undertake the necessary steps. CA Ltd cannot be held responsible and the sale cannot be cancelled in the event of failure to obtain the relevant licences.

6. JEWELLERY

6.1 Gemstone treatment and estimates

Many gemstones on the market have been treated so as to augment their appearance, in a reversible or permanent manner. Treatments under the present section may be but not limited to:

• Heat treatment to enhance sapphires and rubies’ clarity and colour

• Oil and resin treatments for emeralds applied in different ways, to enhance clarity of the stone

• Staining

• Irradiation

• Coating

Estimates provided by CA Ltd are deemed to be based on the fact that the gemstone may have been subject to any type of treatment in the past. CA Ltd shall not be responsible in the absence of mention thereof.

A certificate may be issued by a laboratory, providing with detailed information on the condition of the gemstone and any treatment applied thereto. The Buyer must be aware that different laboratories have different approaches as to the degree or type of treatment for a particular gemstone.

If a certificate accompanies the Lot, the Buyer must be aware that it is merely a statement of the laboratory’s opinion and in no way can CA Ltd be held responsible for any mentions therein. Such certificates are deemed to be delivered with the Lot for informative purposes only.

6.2 Estimated weights

If a stone’s exact weight appears within the body of the description, the stone has been un-mounted and weighed by CA Ltd. If the weight of a stone is stated to be approximate, the stone has been assessed by CA Ltd within its setting, and the defined weight is a statement of opinion only. This information is given as a guide and bidders should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy.

6.3 Signatures

‘A diamond ring, by X’: When the maker’s name appears in the title, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion the piece is by that maker.

‘A diamond ring, signed X’: Has a signature that, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, is authentic but may contain gemstones that are not original, or the piece may have been altered.

‘A diamond ring, mounted by X’: Has been created by the jeweller, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, but using stones or designs supplied by the client.

‘Maker’s mark for X’: Has a maker’s mark which in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion is authentic.

Some items may include parts or products derived from endangered species, such as ivory or coral. Such items may be subject to import or export restrictions. See section on CITES regulations for more details.

7. CLOCKS AND WATCHES

All Lots are sold as seen. Clocks and watches are therefore not deemed to be sold in working condition. Absence of reference thereof in the description does not imply that the Lot is in good condition and without defects, or has been subject to repair or restoration.

CA Ltd makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary.

Most clocks and watches are likely to have been repaired in the past, and as a result may include parts that are not original thereto.

The United-States restrict the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller or Corum. Such models can only be imported personally by the Buyer and CA Ltd cannot assist with shipping thereof.

Some watches may include leather straps derived from endangered species. Buyers may be required to obtain appropriate permits for import or export purposes in accordance with CITES regulations.

CA Ltd acts in compliance with such legislations and shall take necessary steps where required. Subsequently, watches may be deemed sold without their straps.
