John Cyril Harrison (1898-1985) was born in Wiltshire and started drawing at an early age. Following service in the First World War, he studied at London’s Slade School of Art and later moved to Norfolk, where apart from extensive travels, he spent the rest of his life. Much of his work was closely associated with the birdlife of the broads and every year he donated a watercolour to the Norfolk Naturalists Trust. In 1949, Harrison wrote and illustrated his most popular book, Bird Portraits, followed two years later by the illustrations for Jean Delacour’s monograph The Pheasants of the World. 14 Harrison (J.

Sir Peter Markham Scott, CH, CBE, DSC & Bar, FRS, FZS (1909-1989), the only child of Robert Falcon Scott, was two years old when his father died. In a last letter to his wife, Captain Scott advised: “make the boy interested in natural history if you can; it is better than games.” The younger Scott initially read Natural Sciences at Trinity College, Cambridge, but graduated in the History of Art in 1931. During WW2, he designed the Western Approaches ship camouflage scheme, which disguised the look of ship superstructure using various shades of paint. Scott’s BBC natural history series, Look, ran from 1955 to 1969 and made him a household name. Scott was knighted in 1973 for his contribution to the conservation of wild animals: he was one of the founders of the World Wildlife Fund and designed its panda logo.

Archibald Thorburn (1860-1935) was born at Viewfield House, Midlothian, his father a portrait miniaturist to Queen Victoria. Thorburn’s monumental British Birds, which first appeared in 1915-16, met with huge popularity. His paintings were regularly exhibited at the RA and he designed their first Christmas card for the RSPB in 1899. Thorburn’s work was not only the first to be reproduced in this way, it was also a departure in emphasis from the previous generation of scientifically accurate bird painters - John Gould, Edward Lear and John James Audubon - in favour of breathing life into the subjects depicted. More than eighty years after his death, Archibald Thorburn’s depictions of British birdlife and mammals are still the best loved, and most widely reproduced, wildlife pictures in Britain.

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 pre-Columbian 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. 4.11 CITES import and export restrictions Certain endangered species are listed in the CITES Convention.

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

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. 8. FURNITURE 8.1 Upholstered furniture after 1950 According to The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988, furniture that was upholstered after the 1st of January 1950 is subject to restrictions in the United-Kingdom.
