Painted in 1944

£6,000 - 8,000

Provenance

The artist, thence by family descent

Henry Lamb was born in 1883 in Adelaide, Australia, the son of Professor Horace Lamb and his wife, Mary, and one of seven children. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to England, where his father accepted a position at the University of Manchester, and Lamb was subsequently raised in Manchester. Although he initially pursued medical training in Manchester and at Guy’s Hospital, he left the profession in 1905 to focus on art.

However, with the outbreak of World War I, Lamb returned to medicine, serving as a surgeon in Macedonia and Palestine. After the war, he was appointed an Official War Artist and created the monumental Irish Troops in the Judean Hills Surprised by a Turkish Bombardment (1919), now in the Imperial War Museum - a significant work that complements Stanley Spencer’s Travoys Arriving with Wounded Soldiers (1919) in capturing the harrowing experiences of war.

During World War I, Henry Lamb served on the front lines and, after being demobilized, was commissioned to capture the conflict through his art. This led to iconic works like Irish Troops in the Judaean Hills Surprised by a Turkish Bombardment (1919), now housed in the Imperial War Museum. By the time World War II erupted, Lamb, at 57, was appointed a full-time war artist by the War Artists’ Advisory Committee. In this role, he produced over 100 paintings and drawings, including striking portraits of servicemen and evocative scenes of the domestic war effort. The current piece showcases a gun crew loading shells into an anti-aircraft battery, the type of which defended Britain’s southern counties. A smaller version of this composition is part of York Art Gallery’s collection.

“I seem to live on the very edge of the world. But what an edge it is.” - Christopher Wood Wood first visited Dieppe in the mid-1920s and was immediately taken by its charm. The town, which had become a popular destination for artists and society’s elite, offered a serene escape from the more chaotic bohemian lifestyle he experienced in Paris. He found inspiration in the harbor, the seaside landscapes, and the unique light of the area. Over the last fifteen months of his life, Dieppe became his favored painting site. He described it as a place where he experienced “complete happiness,” a feeling he had never known before.

Dieppe’s appeal was twofold: it provided an antidote to the urban grind of Paris, and it allowed Wood to focus deeply on his art, capturing the town’s atmospheric qualities with his distinct style. His work during this period is characterized by its bold color schemes and simplified forms, with influences from the selftaught artist Alfred Wallis, whose rough surfaces and directness of style Wood admired.

Sadly, Christopher Wood’s time in Dieppe was short-lived. Struggling with depression, addiction, and personal turmoil, Wood’s life was marked by emotional instability and a series of failed relationships. These challenges likely influenced the darker, more melancholic tones that appear in his later works, including those painted in Dieppe. Despite his troubled personal life, Dieppe remains a symbol of happiness and creative fulfillment for him—a final place of peace before his untimely death.

Wood died in 1930 at the age of 29 under tragic circumstances, when he fell under a train at Salisbury station. His early death, combined with the poignant and evocative nature of his works from Dieppe, has contributed to his enduring legacy as a talented but tragic figure in early 20th-century British art.

“Gwen John taught me to be quiet in my art. She taught me that silence could be as important as what is said” - Celia Paul

Born in 1876 in Wales, Gwen John, is without a doubt, one of the most significant figures within the 20th-Century British art scene. Despite her place alongside that of her brother Augustus John, her contributions extend far beyond these familial ties, and in her own right she holds a significant space within the story of British art. Her works have been characterised in their subdued, soft and subtle pallets and their introspective stillness.

The prominence of portraiture in her oeuvre makes it unsurprising that, in her writing for the Gwen John 1876-1939 Centenary Exhibition at Anthony d’Offay, Mary Taubman remarked, “For every Gwen John portrait, no matter how carefully observed and exquisitely executed, there is, in a sense, also a self-portrait.” John’s inner world is captured in many examples of her work with a sense of poise and serenity. She is remembered for her somewhat reclusive lifestyle and her preference for introspective themes, whether this is demonstrated in the exploration of her own image through delicately rendered self-portraits or depictions of quiet, intimate spaces such as, A Corner of the Artist’s Room in Paris (circa 1907-9).

In the case of Gwen John’s A girl and two nuns in church, Mary Taubam’s statement could not strike more true. Many of her portraits capture in essence stillness, intimacy, emotional depth and sensitivity, and this gouache is no exception. Converting to Catholicism in her twenties, in 1913, faith became a centre aspect of the artist’s identity. Gwen John’s relationship with Catholicism deeply informed her artistic vision, enriching her portrayal of human beings in her portraits. Time and time again John’s artistic process of repetition reflects her deep engagement with a variety of subject matter. In this case, there are many iterations of figures in a church, whether it is her rendering of Two girls in church, Two girls in church, praying or Six small church groups, among many other examples, John remonstrates her understanding of not only form and expression but also emotion. Repetition becomes in essence both the artist’s process of exploring subject matter and the vehicle in which she is able to uncover layers of meaning and expose her own evolving perspective.

Recent exhibitions, such as “Gwen John: Art and Life in London and Paris” at Pallant House Gallery and her inclusion in Tate Britain’s “Now You See Us: Women Artists in Britain 1520-1920,” underscore her impact and importance. John’s unique style and perspective position her alongside other notable artists of her time and demonstrate her legacy in the broader narrative of British art.

“To look at a painting which gives you the opportunity to have solitude, to be yourself and to be able to wander into reverie, is more than hedonistic, it’s spiritual”

- Terry Frost

Sir Terry Frost, born in Leamington Spa in 1915, began his artistic journey as a young man working various jobs while taking evening drawing classes. During WWII, he served across multiple regions before being captured and held as a POW in Germany. There, he had a transformative “spiritual experience,” igniting his passion for art. Encouraged by fellow artist Adrian Heath, he pursued formal training at Camberwell School of Art, where he was influenced by both figurative and abstract teachings from William Coldstream and Victor Pasmore.

After marrying Kathleen Clarke, Frost moved to the burgeoning art scene in St. Ives, Cornwall, where he befriended Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, and Peter Lanyon, further deepening his commitment to abstraction. His bold, colourful work gained recognition, leading to his first solo show in 1952 and inclusion in major exhibitions. Frost’s later work was influenced by American abstractionists, leading to simplified forms and vibrant colour fields that, while abstract, still referenced the real world.

By the late 20th century, Frost was celebrated as a leading figure in British art, receiving a knighthood in 1998. He passed away in 2003, leaving behind Kathleen and their six children, along with a legacy that bridged joy, colour, and the beauty of abstraction.

This powerful portrait captures the deep connection between Frost and his lifelong partner, created just a few years after their honeymoon in 1945. Reflecting the clear influence of Cubism, it marks a pivotal moment in Frost’s evolution as an artist - moving away from his earlier representational work to embrace the bold, abstract, and vibrant style that would come to define his career. This painting not only showcases his technical shift but also encapsulates the emotional depth and passion that would characterize much of his later work.

“It is not a question so much of a ‘tree like a figure’ or a ‘root like a figure’ - it is a question of bringing out the anonymous personality of these things”

- Graham Sutherland

Exhibited in The Redfern Gallery’s Summer Exhibition of 1955, Graham Sutherland’s Articulated Form, is just one example of Sutherland’s shift in both subject matter and approach following the post war period. Prior to 1945, Sutherland’s work was defined by a figurative style which explored war themes and existential anxieties; this is unsurprising given both the time and Sutherland’s role as an official war artist during the Second World War. However, post-1945, Sutherland began to explore more abstract and organic forms and had more of a fascination with the human experience. However, the grotesque is inescapably a motif within this work. The grotesque, for Sutherland, was not merely an aesthetic choice - it was a way to engage with the psychological, emotional, and existential crises of the modern world, especially after the trauma of war. His work is often introspective, even claustrophobic, as he seeks to expose the raw, vulnerable underbelly of both the human body and the world at large.

Hence, his Articulated Form, is an excellent early example of his captivation with these organics, surreal and uncanny configurations. In this very example, Sutherland’s artistic process reveals itself. The work is one iteration among many of his concepts of articulated forms. Articulated Form, showcases Sutherland’s paradoxical meticulousness and ambiguity; the articulated form is both incredibly careful constructed and considered while also being more broadly symbolic and open to interpretation. In the titling alone, Sutherland commits to many iterations of articulated forms and it is a motif which he consistently revisited. In the present work, Sutherland relies on both intense and rich colours, in addition to earthy tones and forms drawing viewers into a not only a visually striking view but also an emotionally charged metaphysical space.

“It is impossible for me to make a painting which has no reference to the very powerful environment in which I live” - Peter Lanyon

Peter Lanyon, born in St Ives, was deeply rooted in the landscape that surrounded him, a constant source of inspiration throughout his career. After studying at Penzance School of Art and briefly at the Euston Road School, Lanyon served in the RAF during the war and co-founded the Crypt Group in St Ives. His time teaching at the Bath Academy of Art from 1950 to 1957 helped shape his development as an artist.

His work was profoundly influenced by the British artist Ben Nicholson and Russian constructivist Naum Gabo, both of whom settled in St Ives. Despite its remote location, St Ives became a vibrant hub for artists and intellectuals, playing a pivotal role in the evolution of British art.

Lanyon’s paintings drew on the life, industry, and rugged beauty of Cornwall, especially the region’s fishing and farming communities, with his early works rooted in strong, recognizable subject matter. Over time, his style became freer and more gestural, yet his connection to the landscape remained intact.

Inspired by the American abstract expressionists and the landscape he loved, Lanyon’s passion for gliding gave him new aerial perspectives of the coast, which enriched his later, more abstract works. Tragically, his pursuit of flight led to his untimely death in a gliding accident in 1964, cutting short the life of one of Britain’s most innovative and dynamic painters.

Lanyon first traveled to Italy in December 1943, where he served as a flight mechanic in the RAF. His deployment lasted two years, during which he learned Italian and explored the southern provinces, creating drawings, paintings, and constructions. He came to view Italy as his spiritual home, a bond that influenced some of his finest works. Lanyon’s first visit to Italy after the war was in 1950, when he returned with his wife.

In 1953, the year the present work was created, he spent four months in Italy on a scholarship from the Italian government. That same year, he was elected to the Newlyn Society of Artists (NSA). In 1954, he received the Critic’s Prize from the British section of the International Association of Art Critics.

“Feiler is an artist who lets us really stand in front of a painting and give ourselves over to it and let ourselves concentrate, remind ourselves what it is to think about colour, form and that particular moment, to think about the relationship of painting to our minds and our world” - Tom Marks

Paul Feiler, born in Frankfurt in 1918, moved to England in 1933 and began studying at the Slade School of Fine Art from 1936 to 1939. When World War II broke out, he was interned in Canada but returned to Britain in 1941 to launch his career as an artist. Over the next three decades, Feiler balanced his artistic pursuits with teaching, holding positions at the Combined Colleges of Eastbourne and Radley and later at the West England College of Art.

Feiler’s work consistently explored the architecture of space and the ambiguity of visual perception. In the early 1950s, he became known for gestural abstractions that echoed natural structures, developing paintings that harmonized space, tone, and light, leading to an elegant simplicity. By 1953, Feiler had made Cornwall his permanent home, and the unique quality of Cornish light and landscape profoundly shaped his style. Influenced by Abstract Expressionism during this period, his abstraction continued to draw from the external world, creating environments that invite viewers to experience space through rich, pictorial form.

Feiler’s journey to Italy in the spring of 1953, followed by a return trip in late 1954, became pivotal periods of exploration and artistic evolution. Accompanied by his wife, June, while their three children stayed with family in Bern, the couple travelled through Italy’s enchanting northern lakes and iconic cities like Florence, Siena, and Venice. These were working visits, where Feiler created around ten paintings on each trip, later translating similar Italian compositions upon his return to England.

“I was born with the ideas of certain shapes in my mind. At least I remember as far back as seven. The whole time one’s been working at it and working, trying to simplify and make more mature, get the right scale, and develop it according to the development of society” - Barbara Hepworth

Charles Gaskin (1890-1969) founded the Art Bronze Foundary in 1922, and worked closely with Hepworth as the first company to cast her bronzes. Some of the letters also involve Herbert Francis, who collaborated with Hepworth as a fellow director alongside Charles throughout the late 1950s and 1960s. After both men passed in 1969, their sons Michael Gaskin, Roy Francis, and Leonard Freiensener took over operations at the foundry. Leonard, a skilled metal craftsman, was responsible for finishing Hepworth’s bronzes, achieving the patinas she specified, and executing the precise stringing required for certain pieces.

Leonard Freiensener was a talented bronze caster who became closely associated with Hepworth during the 1950s. His skill in metal casting was instrumental in helping Hepworth realize some of her most important sculptures in bronze. He and his team at the Art Bronze Foundry worked with Hepworth to cast some of her key pieces, which expanded her sculptural vocabulary and allowed her to experiment with the material in new ways. Gaskin’s expertise was crucial in achieving the fine details and smooth surfaces that Hepworth sought in her bronze works.

Hepworth’s relationship with Gaskin was not just professional but also personal, as they worked closely together on several major projects. Their collaboration was built on mutual respect, with Gaskin deeply understanding Hepworth’s vision for her sculptures and her need for a high level of precision and craftsmanship. Hepworth trusted Gaskin to maintain the integrity of her designs throughout the casting process, which could sometimes involve multiple iterations to achieve the perfect result.

The Art Bronze Foundry, located in London, was a key collaborator in Hepworth’s later works, particularly in casting her sculptures in bronze. The foundry was known for its high-quality work, and Hepworth’s relationship with the foundry was a turning point in her ability to create large-scale sculptures in metal.

Before working with Gaskin and the Art Bronze Foundry, Hepworth had primarily worked with materials like wood, stone, and plaster. The decision to move into bronze casting marked an important shift in her practice. She was able to expand the scale of her work and explore the fluidity and versatility that bronze offered. The foundry played a pivotal role in transforming her small maquettes and models into finished sculptures, often with complex casting processes, including lost-wax casting, to preserve the details of Hepworth’s original designs.

The collaboration between Hepworth and the Art Bronze Foundry allowed her to achieve a greater sense of permanence and precision in her sculptures. The use of bronze also gave Hepworth the ability to create dynamic, abstract forms that could be viewed from multiple angles. Many of her iconic works, such as Figure for Landscape (1952) and Single Form (1961), were cast in bronze with the help of Gaskin and the foundry. The collaboration between Hepworth and Gaskin contributed to some of her most celebrated sculptures of the mid-20th century.

“Paintings are there to be experienced, they are events” - John Hoyland

Both The Ark 16.2.85 and 49 Springs 10.3.84 showcase Hoyland’s investigation into style, color, and form within his artistic practice.The 1980s for Hoyland represented a critical period of evolution in his artistic career, his use of colour, geometric abstraction and the motif of the circle all became brighter bolder and more widely used. The 80s for Hoyland welcomed a further engagement with themes of abstract expressionism. The circle, in both works became a way in which Hoyland was able to explore wholeness, continuity and unity within his canvases. Continuity and change are expressed on the surfaces of the canvas, as there is a sense of harmony with his circles but disruption in shapes and colours.

Hoyland’s The Ark 16.2.85 is a significant example of his abstract expressionist work. In The Ark 16.2.85, you can see Hoyland’s characteristic use of intense colour fields, with large expanses of saturated hues that shift in tone and intensity. This work, like many others from this period, might also feature the application of thick paint, sometimes applied with palette knives or brushes to create a sense of physicality and texture. The title “The Ark” could refer to the painting’s symbolic or abstract suggestion of protection, journey, or transcendence, but Hoyland’s work generally resisted specific narrative interpretation, focusing instead on the emotive and visual impact of colour and form.

Hoyland was influenced by artists such as Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman, and he was also involved with the development of the British abstract scene in the 1950s and 1960s. His work, especially in the 1980s, is known for its commitment to bold, unmediated colour and the emotional power it conveys.

Featured in the seminal exhibition “The Presence of Painting: Aspects of British Abstraction 1957-1988”, the show which toured, aimed to highlight the evolution and key developments in British abstraction during a transformative period in the art world. This exhibition (which took place in 1988) sought to examine the diverse ways in which British abstract artists responded to and engaged with the medium of painting between the late 1950s and the late 1980s. It underscored the varied responses of British artists to international developments in abstract art, as well as their exploration of form, colour, and space in new and innovative ways. Alongside Hoyland, works by Patrick Heron, Bridget Riley, Roger Hilton, Frederick Gore and Howard Hodgkin were included. The exhibition provided a glimpse into a pivotal moment in British art history, where abstraction transcended visual formalism to explore the emotional and sensory impact of the painted surface, as well as the immersive experience of engaging with such works. John Hoyland, in particular, made a substantial contribution to this evolving narrative.

“It’s absolutely vital what you call yourself. I’ve always called myself an artist, who happens to make ceramics.” - Grayson Perry

Grayson Perry’s recognition in both 2003 with the Turner Prize and in 2023, twenty years later, with a Knighthood underscores his significant impact on the British art world. His multifaceted career spans ceramics, tapestry, and other forms of visual art, with his works often exploring themes of identity, gender, class, and social issues. Perry’s distinctive style combines craftsmanship with deep personal and societal commentary, and his work frequently challenges established norms.

Grayson Perry’s early ceramics such as the two present examples demonstrate the role of his early ceramics in shaping both his distinctive style and artistic identity.

Early on, Perry employed traditional ceramics techniques, including hand-building and slip casting. He decorated his works with intricate surface designs which drew on inspirations from historical ceramics, folk art, and the decorative traditions of cultures from around the world. His pots often featured detailed, narrative-rich imagery, often combined with text, that told stories about his life, experiences, and thoughts on society.

The medium of his pots, in both examples are also vehicles in which Perry is able to questions many complex ideas. In Perversion/Apathy/Arrogance/Selfishness/Ego/Hypocrisy, Perry outlines themes which have become to characterise many subsequent works by the artist. His own alter Ego, Claire, has enabled Perry to explore with themes of selfishness and ego. The idea of ego—both inflated and fragile—is at the core of much of Perry’s work. This is too reflected in the medium of the pot, likewise with its fragile quality. Themes like perversion, apathy, arrogance, selfishness, ego, and hypocrisy are explored through both personal narratives and broader societal critique, and this is of course the given title for the work. These works reflect a deeper, more reflective message despite the medium of the decorative crafty ceramic. Fragility is at the forefront of Perry’s messaging and this is extended to the medium in which he uses. The work, a precursor to many future examples, challenges us to confront our own flaws—both as individuals and as a society.

Similarly, Return Me to Essex from Where I Come, is an early, pivotal work that marks an important moment in the development of his artistic identity. This ceramic is an another example of Perry’s autobiographical exploration and the work documents both his place of birth while also confronting issues of identity, gender and class. Essex is the place of his childhood and a symbol of the working-class background that Perry both identifies with and feels distanced from. Essex, in British cultural imagination, is often associated with a specific workingclass identity, and Perry was keenly aware of the class-based expectations and limitations that were placed on him. Both pots in their decoration demonstrate a dense mix of personal imagery, social commentary, and narrative elements, all reflecting Perry’s internal landscape at the time. Like many of his early works, the piece serves as a form of self-portraiture, where the works themselves become vessels which portray the artist’s emotions, identity, and experiences.

£8,000 - 12,000

Provenance

With The Medici Galleries, London

Anne Magill was born in County Down, Northern Ireland, in 1962. She studied in Liverpool before moving to London to complete her degree at St Martin’s School of Art. After graduating in 1984, she worked as an illustrator, quickly gaining recognition for her evocative charcoal and pastel drawings, winning the B&H Gold Illustration Awards four times.

While building her career as a commercial artist, Magill began experimenting with more personal charcoal drawings inspired by memories of her time with the army in Belfast, at Greenham Common, and in Paris during her studies. The rapid, reportage-style sketches she created during this period laid the foundation for a more mature approach, in which her atmospheric paintings were built from anonymous, intimate scenes that seemed like memories captured in time. Magill’s work has earned international acclaim, with her pieces held in collections by British Airways, Nike, Levi Strauss, Heineken, Canary Wharf, the Forte Group, SAP, as well as major private collections worldwide.

The Fiorini Foundry, an Arts Heritage Ltd. company, was established in 1909 by Giovanni Fiorini and stands as the oldest and one of the most esteemed bronze casting foundries in the country. Renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, the foundry has collaborated with prolific artists such as Henry Moore, Leon Underwood, Jacob Epstein, and Elizabeth Frink.

With a rich history of casting intricate bronze sculptures and fine objects, the Fiorini Foundry specializes in the lost-wax casting method, a technique that captures the finest details. The family-run business was passed down to John Fiorini, who, as a young man, is known to have assisted Leon Underwood in casting his own sculptures (Ben Whitworth, The Sculpture of Leon Underwood, 2000, p.82).

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.

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.

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.

Royalties are calculated on a cumulative sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium.

• 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

all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any such property, whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way to the extent permitted by Law.

• 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.

4.7 Collection

Purchased Lots can be collected from the auction room after the sale has ended or between 10am and 6pm up until close of business on the Friday following the sale. Special arrangements may be made for collection on Saturday at CA Ltd’s discretion. 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. Thereafter Lots not collected shall incur storage charges of £5.00 per lot, per day or part thereof for smalls and pictures (defined as anything that can be handled by one person) and £10.00 per lot, per day for furniture and other larger lots.

CA Ltd cannot be held responsible for any damages that may be incurred to goods prior to the fall of the hammer.

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.

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. Exempt upholstered furniture that does not meet such requirements is deemed sold for purely aesthetic purposes. CA Ltd shall not be responsible for later alterations to the furniture, making it unfit for sale.

9. GLOSSARY OF PICTURE CATALOGUING TERMS

The Company reserve the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expert or authority considered by them to be reliable.

As aforementioned in the Section relating to such matters, import and export permits or re-export certificates may be required. Verification letters will be required for re-export of worked Rhinoceros items.

10.2 Fine Chinese Paintings

Current scholarship in the field of Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy does not permit unqualified statements as to the authorship or date of execution. The limited right of rescission contained in the present terms and conditions does not apply to Chinese paintings. Notwithstanding, if within 28 days of the sale of any such Lot, the original purchaser gives written notice to CA Ltd that the Lot is a forgery and within fourteen days after giving such notice, the original purchaser returns the lot to us in the same condition as at the time of sale and demonstrates to our satisfaction that the lot is a forgery, CA Ltd will rescind the sale and refund the purchase price received. For this purpose, a ‘forgery’ is defined as a work created with the intent to deceive.

11. BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS

Books and manuscripts sold as incomplete are not subject to returns. Printed books may be returned for a full refund only if they prove to be defective in text or illustration.

For the purposes of the present Terms and Conditions, the ‘Fill Level’ refers to the space between the base of the cork and the liquid in the bottle. Fill levels may vary with age or depending on the condition of the wine or spirit.

Lack of mention thereof in the description is not a representation of an ‘acceptable’ fill level from CA Ltd.

CA Ltd never sell, lend or trade in personal data provided by any Bidder.

15. SEVERABILITY

Whenever and to the extent that any provisions of these terms would or might contravene the provision of any relevant legislation, such provision is to take effect only in so far as it may do so without contravening such legislation and the legality, validity and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions are not in any way to be affected or impaired as a result.

The current Terms and Conditions may be amended, verbally or in writing, prior to the sale.
