Painter and sculptor John Edwards was considered one of the rising stars in the British Art scene in the 60s and 70s. Stylistically influenced by the abstract expressionists that came in favour in New York at the time, his paintings possess a sculptural feel as well. The forms are abstract and his colours bold and vibrant, Edwards’ work is not easily grouped with any one movement. In London the Rowan Gallery housed nine shows for him between 1967-1981. He exhibited widely in Syracuse, Washington, San Francisco, Turin, Jaipur and New Delhi.

The titles enable the spectator to ‘ENTER’ the work from an ‘irrational’ view-point as it were. One becomes ‘LOST’ in the image and is compelled to recreate ‘meanings’ for one’s self and thus enter a world of painting of one’s own making. Alan Davie

JOHN PIPER, C.H., (1903-1992) Cardiganshire Hillside signed John Piper (lower right), inscribed Cardiganshire Hillside (on the reverse) oil on canvas 83 x 106 cm (32 1/2 x 41 3/4 in) Painted in 1975 LITERATURE: A.West, John Piper, London 1979, illustrated. £18,000 - 22,000

26

Painted in the mid-1970s Cardiganshire Hillside is a stunning example of Piper’s confident topographical pieces. The work captures the sunlight striking two small clusters of whitewashed buildings set in the emerald sea of verdant rolling hills loosely constrained by black field boundaries. The composition is largely impressionistic with flecks of vegetation, occasional tree dots along hedge rows and yellow crops helping lead one’s eye through the scene. The 70s were a period when Piper’s works were particularly sought after. The artist initially explored Cardiganshire in the summer of 1939 when visiting the somewhat forgotten ruined estate of Hafod set within what is also known as the ‘desert’ of Wales. He found the remote landscape which was in turns, both wild and barren particularly attractive. At first drawn to the hills of Wales, his artistic eye naturally turned northwards to the more mountainous Snowdonia in the mid and later 1940s.

In 1961 Piper purchased a holiday home on Garn Fawr north of St. David’s and from this base he returned his attention once again to Cardiganshire. Research for the Shell Guide books of Wales and a love of the varied yet distinctive Welsh chapels also strengthened his familiarity with many remote parts of the country. In 1974 Cardiganshire became part of the district of Ceredigion in the larger county of Dyfed. However, Piper still uses the former nomenclature probably to indicate he did not wish to rush to change the overt description of a landscape he had known for some 35 years.

JOHN PIPER, C.H., (1903-1992) Aberayron, South Wales signed John Piper (lower right) ink and gouache 24 x 34 cm (9 1/4 x 13 3/4 in) PROVENANCE: with Achim Moeller, London £5,000 - 7,000

28

Between the 1930s and 1950s Piper produced a number of lively ‘on the spot’ collages, atmospheric photographs and rugged mixed media depictions of Aberayron. Here Piper looks across at the cluster of buildings on the northern side of the harbour with the harbour walls turning a corner in the lower left of the picture and the water in the foreground referenced by cursory white squiggles. A splash of blue top left indicates the roof of the old Harbourmaster’s House, now a hotel, and the top right shows the apex of the Tabernacle Chapel on Market Street.

In 1954 Piper was actively working on his first stained glass commission for Oundle School Chapel and in this fully worked up sketch, thoughts of stained glass influence Piper’s focus on slabs of colour, blocks of building and ‘lead’ lines. This style of painting was to develop in the following few years to much larger abstracted landscapes – including buildings – composed of carefully balanced areas of colour and tone in flat perspective gridlike surfaces. We are grateful to Hugh Fowler-Wright for his assistance in the preparation of this catalogue entry.

JULIAN TREVELYAN, R.A. (1910-1988) City signed and dated Julian Trevelyan ‘37 (lower left) ink and collage 37.6 x 55.6 cm (15 x 21 3/4 in) EXHIBITED: London, Alexander Postan Fine Art, Julian Trevelyan, The early years 1935-38, April 1974, catalogue untraced £4,000 - 6,000

In the late 1930s Trevelyan started using collage as a preferred medium when travelling the country and recording the cities and towns he visited. Influenced by the Surrealists and most notably by Max Ernst, who he met and worked alongside in Paris, Trevelyan would use scraps of newspaper, serviettes, labels from his own artworks and ink to build his compositions. By 1937 he was involved in the Mass Observation project which was founded by, among others, the young anthropologist Tom Harrison. It consisted of a group of artists, poets, writers and film makers who aimed to capture and record modern society. City is a beautiful example of the Trevelyan’s use of collage to create a lively composition, which is both expressive through its visual appeal and through the materials used to create it.

I cruised around and settled on the outskirts of town near to some cotton mills and reservoirs. At the time I was making collages; I carried a large suitcase full of newspapers, copies of Picture Post, seed catalogues, old bills and other scraps, together with a pair of scissors, a pot of gum, and a bottle of Indian ink. I was applying the collage techniques I had learnt from the Surrealists to the thing seen, and now tore up pictures of the Coronation crowds to make the cobblestones of Bolton. It was awkward, sometimes, in a wind, when my little pieces would fly about, and I was shy of being watched at it; but it was a legitimate way, I think, of inviting the god of Chance to lend a hand in painting my picture. Julian Trevelyan (Indigo Days: Art and Memoirs of Julian Trevelyan)

JOHN PIPER, C.H., (1903-1992) Llaethdy, St David’s inscribed and dated Llaethdy, St David’s 28.V.69 (lower left) ink, watercolour, pastel and gouache 19.5 x 27 cm (7 3/4 x 10 3/4 in) £3,000 - 5,000

From the summer of 1961, John Piper began regularly visiting and depicting the area around Pembrokeshire facilitated by buying two cottages and fourteen acres of land on the southern slopes of Garn Fawr north of St David’s. This scene is of the countryside north west of St David’s near Whitesands Bay. Piper looks north towards the tiny settlement of Llaethdy on the lower slopes of Carn Llidi. Loose sketch marks are scattered on the paper surface depicting patches of vegetation in the surrounding landscape and a curving lane in the lower foreground serves to frame the typical stone wall found in coastal Pembrokeshire lining the roads and fields. We are grateful to Hugh Fowler-Wright for the assistance in the preparation of this catalogue entry.

ALAN DAVIE, R.A. (1920-2014) Rösk Filtr, Opus O. 1667 signed, inscribed and dated Alan Davie 03/RÖSK FILTR/OPUS O.1667 (on the reverse) oil on board 30.5 x 25.4 cm (12 x 10 in) PROVENANCE: Acquired from the artist by the present owner £1,000 - 2,000

The marriage of poetic and pictorial became the outcome in the later painted works. After all, the words we use in our own written language are all originally evolved from pictographs- changed and refined over many hundreds of years. ..Words from a foreign script are often used – particularly from a language which is unknown to me…which seems to me to have a particularly evocative FEEL and musicality… A Creative experience can have infinite possibilities, which makes a work of ART a kind of everlasting GENERATOR of emotions.

KEITH VAUGHAN (1913-1977) Antique head, Ozymandias stamped with K.V. (on the reverse) ink and wash 18.9 x 28 cm (8 x 11 in) Executed in the 1940s. In the early 1940s Vaughan worked on several pen and ink drawings for book covers (see The King of Aisle by Rex Warner, published by John Lehmann, 1948) The current lot most probably relates to Percy Shelley’s famous poem Ozymandias. Another example of a drawing of a classical head is held in the archive of Tate Britain, London. £500 - 700

Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelly I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. We are grateful to Gerard Hastings, whose new book Keith Vaughan: The Graphic Art is published by Pagham Press, for preparing this catalogue entry.

JOHN MELVILLE (1902-1986) Poet with his muses signed and dated John Melville 1965. (upper left) oil on canvas 182.9 x 243.5 cm (72 x 95 3/4 in) £1,500 - 2,500

John Melville was a painter strongly influenced by Picasso. By the early 1930s his attention was drawn to surrealism and he was labelled as a surrealist in a 1932 Harper’s Bazaar article on British painting. The artist possessed a substantial knowledge of modern art, which had been acquired through visits to London galleries in the 1920s and early 1930s. Along with his brother Robert Melville, who was an art critic, and Conroy Maddox, he was a key member of the Birmingham Surrealists. In the 1960s Melville’s work continued to be imbued with surrealist motifs, but also

showed an expressionist influence. Poet and his muses is an ambitious piece painted on a large scale. The thick outlines and distorted perspective pull the viewer in the wonderous world of the poet. Melville’s singular style was acknowledged by his inclusion in numerous public exhibitions, most notably “Surrealism: Two Private Eyes” at the Guggenheim, New York in 1999.

BERNARD ROBINSON (1912-1970) In nomine patris oil on board 39 x 81cm (15 1/2 x 32 in) £800 - 1,200 Celebrated as an art director and production designer, Bernard Robinson’s early career was first as a draughtsman with Warner Studios in Teddington, and then with Alexander Korda at London Film in Denham. But it was at Hammer Film Productions, the film company best known for its gothic horror films that he established his formidable reputation. Under Robinson’s artistic leadership from 1956-1969 Hammer dominated the horror film market. Hits included The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) – Hammer’s first colour movie - Count Dracula (1958) and The Mummy (1959), all three starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.

108

Based at Hammer’s Bray studios in Berkshire, Robinson combined enviable inspiration with great economy of means, as he succeeded in giving Hammer’s films an expensive look while working with minimal budget. There he oversaw the design and artistic production of some 76 films. Others included The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959), The Curse of the Werewolf (1960), The Two Faces of Dr Jekyll (1960) and The Phantom of the Opera (1962), the latter one of his most formidable challenges as it required a huge water-tank to be constructed for the Phantom’s underground lair. As well as designing for film, Robinson took a keen interest in painting. As an artist he developed his own distinctive style that drew both on the formal properties of Cubism and the drama of Surrealism. In his subject matter he reflected with both wit and insight many of the darker themes that were such a feature of his day job with Hammer.

Robinson’s artworks possess a particular sense of rhythm and energy. The bright palette and angular lines, draw the viewer’s attention to the finer details in the domestic Family scene (lot 7), full of life and movement. The energetic composition in Danger! Men at work! (lot 8) approaches the subject with a good dose of humour by the juxtaposition of the working men and the passing ladies of leisure. The masked faces and distorted bodies in H.M. Board of Inland Revenue particularly resonate with the unsettled world of today making Robinson’s work ever so relevant. Influential, charismatic and with a highly original artistic vision, Robinson’s death at the age of 57 in 1970 was cruelly premature. But as he himself was known to have remarked: ‘It’s not the length of life that counts, but the quality.’

I like the moment of animation when everyone bursts into applause, a coming together of everybody... I like the way audiences dress up. There is a sort of theatre about the way people look, the sparkling earrings, the costumes. Victoria Russell, The Times

A figurative painter from Hackney, in 2000 Russell won one of the most prestigious awards, the National Portrait Gallery’s BP Portrait Award. The Audience II is an ambitious, confident large-scale work. The fine amount of controlled detail imbues the piece with particular energy and makes the excitement of the audience palpable to the viewer. It is unknown who the central figure of the composition is, but it has been suggested that the figure on the left is based on Diana, Princess of Wales.

Terms 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.

158

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 above-mentioned 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.

Terms 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.

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. The 2020 guidelines reference ‘Art Works’, but are as yet to be fully defined. As such, CA Ltd reserves the right to adapt buying/selling rules at any time, in order to maintain compliance. 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.

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). 4.7 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 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. 4.10 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 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. 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.

4.12 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. 4.13 Warranties CA Ltd does not provide the Buyer with warranties relating to any Lot, unless required by Law. 4.14 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 unmounted 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.

161


‘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. 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. 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 Any Statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date, age, provenance and condition is a statement of opinion and is not to be taken as a statement of fact. The Company reserve the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expert or authority considered by them to be reliable. 1 JMW Turner: In our opinion a work by the artist. When the artist’s forename(s) is not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not, indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named. 2 Attributed to JMW Turner: In our opinion probably a work by the artist, but less certainly as to the authorship expressed than in the preceding category. 3 Studio of JMW Turner: In our opinion probably a work by an unknown hand in the studio of the artist, which may or may not have been executed under the artist’s direction. 4 Circle of JMW Turner: In our opinion a work by an as yet unidentified but distinct hand, closely associated with the named artist and of the period, but not necessarily his pupil. 5 Style of; Follower of JMW Turner: In our opinion a work by a painter working in the artist’s style, but not necessarily his pupil. 6 Manner of JMW Turner: In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date. 7 After JMW Turner: In our opinion a copy (of any date) of a known work of the artist. 8 The term ‘signed’ and/or ‘dated’ and/or ‘inscribed’ means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription are from the hand of the artist. 9 The term ‘with signature’ and/or ‘with date’ and/or ‘with inscription’ means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription have been added by another hand than that of the artist. 10 Pictures are framed unless otherwise stated. 10.

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. This shall not apply to the absence of blanks, half titles or advertisements, to unnamed books or to books sold under the heading of ‘binding’ or ‘bindings’. 12.

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 offers no guarantee as to suitability for drinking of the wine or spirit. The Buyer must be aware of the risk that the taste of a wine or spirit may be altered due to factors such as age, storage conditions, oxidation, etc. 13. COPYRIGHT CA Ltd shall own the copyright on all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for CA Ltd relating to a Lot, including catalogue contents.

Some Lots may be subject to copyright protection, CA Ltd does not guarantee said Lots are free thereof. 14. DATA PROTECTION The Buyer agrees that personal information transmitted to CA Ltd may be disclosed exclusively for the purposes of business, or as required by Law. CA Ltd shall not use personal information for any other purpose without the Buyer’s prior consent. 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. 16. AMENDMENTS The current Terms and Conditions may be amended, verbally or in writing, prior to the sale. 17. LAW AND JURISDICTION The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale and the conduct of the auction and any matters related to any of the foregoing shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the Law of England and Wales. For the benefit of CA Ltd all bidders and sellers agree that the Courts of England are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle all disputes arising in connection with all aspects of all matters or transactions to which these Conditions of Sale and Authorship warranty relate or apply. All parties agree that CA Ltd shall retain the right to bring proceedings in any court other than the Courts of England.
