JACQUES STELLA (LYON 1596 - PARIS 1657) Penitent Magdalene circa 1620 oil on marble 18 x 27 cm (7 x 10 1/2 in.) The present work can be related to various Marie Madeleine en prière on slate and marble dating from Stella’s sojourn to Italy between 1622-34. His small scale paintings on semiprecious stones, a technique he learnt in Florence, were highly sought after by the collectors of the day . The present painting draws comparison with Judith and Holofernes, 30 x 36 cm, oil on slate, in the Galleria Borghese, Rome (Fig. 1). Stella developed a close relationship with the Borghese family while in Rome. (1) see S. Laveissière & I. Dubois, Jacques Stella (1596 - 1657), exh. cat., Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, Paris, 2006 n° 43, ill. £3,000-4,000

CHARLES FRANÇOIS DE LA TRAVERSE (PARIS 1726 - 1787) Saint John of Patmos signed in Greek letters on the book lower right oil on canvas 100.5 x 81.5 cm (39 1/2 x 32 in)

Fig.1

The present work is an extremely rare painted work by Charles de La Traverse; only the second painting (see Tobias burying dead bodies, Musée des beaux-arts, Saintes, Fig. 1) recorded by the artist who was largely known for his graphic oeuvre. Important groups of his drawings, distinctively quick, lively, and dramatic, are to be found in the collections of the Musée des Beaux Arts, Besançon, the Musée du Louvre, Paris and the Biblioteca Nacional di Espana, Madrid. The present painting is signed Charles Latraverse in Greek by St. John of Patmos (the island where the Saint has been exiled by the Roman authorities in the late 1st century), on what may well be the Book of the Apocalypse which the Saint wrote. Could it be a self-portrait? The Saint, leaning on his left hand, lies in a melancholic pose that recalls a drawing by La Traverse of the Allegory of the Melancholy, in the Metropolitan Museum, New York (Fig. 2). At the feet of the allegorical figure is another book in which the words ‘...ocalipse/Giovan…/Patmos’ are written. Could this be an artistic prophecy?

ATTRIBUTED TO JEAN BAPTISTE HUET (PARIS 1745 - 1811), AFTER FRANCOIS BOUCHER (PARIS 1703 - 1770) Young boy with a sheep red chalk on paper 280 x 430 mm (11 x 17 in.) watermark The present work is a copy after a red chalk drawing in the Musée du Louvre, Paris attributed to the school of Francois Boucher. According to Alistair Laing, however, the Louvre drawing may actually be autograph, and the present work a copy with variations by Jean-Baptiste Huet. Huet occasionally copied Boucher’s drawings after his death, but included his own additions and digressions in his compositions. In the present work he omits the head of the third sheep and adds a little landscape definition to the setting. We are grateful to Alastair Laing for his help in cataloguing this lot. £600-800

FRANCOIS BOUCHER (PARIS 1703 - 1770) Design for an urn sitting on an extrados of an arch red chalk 215 x 275 mm (8 1/2 x 11 in.) watermark Bears 18th-century inscription in pen and black ink Boucher lower centre. The present study is a design for an urn that is possibly for execution in stone or terracotta. The form relates to similar vessels that appear in the backdrops to François Boucher’s pastoral paintings. There was a similar drawing in the Goncourts’ collection. Boucher’s idiosyncratic style included many sculptural elements, notably putti. Francois Boucher’s designs for the decorative arts are an important aspect of his oeuvre, but his designs for vases and mounts,

which he executed throughout his career are little known and have been largely unstudied until Alicia M. Priore’s article on the subject in 1996 (1). Boucher published a compendium of his designs, in his Livre de Vases between 1734-38, engraved by A Boucher and G. Huquier. Eight drawings of vases and cartouches by Boucher were included in the 1771 posthumous sale of Huquier’s collection, some of which would have been original drawings for the Livre de Vases. Another drawing intended for metalwork, entered the collection of Boucher’s friend and patron Count Tessin, now in the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm. Boucher’s designs for vases often developed into his paintings of fountains, following Italian prototypes.

form partially relates to plate 6 of Livre de Vases. Vase designs were mostly of pure fantasy and because they were so fantastical, could often only have been executed in metal. The present work is more sober and substantial. We are grateful to Alastair Laing for endorsing the attribution to Francois Boucher on the basis of high resolution photographs, and for his help in cataloguing this lot. (1) Alicia Priore, ‘François Boucher’s Designs for Vases and Mounts’, Studies in the Decorative Arts, Vol. 3, No. 2 (SPRINGSUMMER 1996), pp. 2-51 £3,000-4,000

JEAN-ROBERT ANGO (ACTIVE IN ROME BETWEEN 1710 - 1773) Study after the sculpture of a Saint surmounting the colonnade before St Peter’s red chalk 202 x 104 mm (8 x 4 in.) The present work is typical of JeanRobert Ango’ s hand: his use of red chalk, his idiosyncratic style including the use of reinforced contours and the subject matter; which seems to relate to the sheets in the four albums in the Cooper-Hewitt collection, New York (Fig.1). No original compositions by Ango are known and his drawings all seem to have been copies after Roman paintings and sculptures. Unlike other French artists of this period, Ango’s drawings are not studies for paintings. Instead, he may have depended on the sale of such drawings as a source of income. Charles-Joseph Natoire, director of the French Academy in Rome from 1751 to 1777, owned around a hundred of his sketches.

The albums in New York, as well as the present work, show Ango’s interest in Berniniesque statuary. He drew a large number of figures of the Saints that surmount the encircling and straight arms of the colonnade before St Peter’s, designed by Bernini and executed by various sculptors. Drawing these figures presented problems as they were perched very high above ground level, and there is only a narrow precarious edge below each base. Therefore, the sculptures are presented da sotto in su but not excessively foreshortened, and they are drawn almost as if from just their bases. (1) The unique value of this drawing is that it records the state of paintings and sculpture in Rome in the 1760s. Ango did not draw many of the well known motifs his contempories copied which makes identification difficult. However, the drawings that can be identified are particularly valuable as they document the corresponding object’s condition, appearance, and location in the 1760s. (1) see Phyllis Dearborn Massar, ‘Drawings by JeanRobert Ango after Paintings and Sculpture in Rome’, in Master Drawings, Vol. 37, No. 1 (Spring, 1999), pp. 35-46 £700-1,200

The present work draws stylistical comparison with another drawing by G. D. Cappellino in a private collection, New York (Fig. 1), and especially the distinctive presence of the sculpture to the left. We are grateful to Federica Mancini for her help in cataloguing the present drawing. ÂŁ2,500-3,500

AFTER ANNIBALE CARRACCCI (BOLOGNA 1560 - ROME 1609) Amorini playing red chalk with white heightenings, pricked for transfer and blackened with chalk on the verso 530 x 410 mm (20 2/3 X 16 in.) The present work is a copy after the two amorini featured in one of the four corners of the vault in the gallery of the Palazzo Farnese The Loves of the Gods, in Rome. Several series of prints after the frescoes in the Farnese Gallery were produced from the end of the seventeenth century onwards. Both pricked and blackened on the verso, these pricked methods could have been used in the creation of a reversed image for printing. £800-1,000

ATTRIBUTED TO MARCANTONIO FRANCESCHINI (BOLOGNA 1648 - 1729) Study of a Female Figure on a cloud da sotto in su red chalk over black chalk underdrawing 173 x 210 mm (6 3/4 x 8 1/4 in.) watermark The present work draws stylistical comparison with the red chalk drawing in the Cleveland Museum of Art representing Miriam Leading the Chorus of Women Who Give Thanks for the Routing of Pharoah. The composition it is preparatory for could be similar to the fresco of the ex-church of Sant’Agostino drawing from the cartoon representing the Church and its Symbols (Fig.1). Franceschini was the favourite pupil of Carlo Cignani under whom he trained in the painting of illusionistic fresco, working in his studio on various fresco projects. He soon went on to working independently, and became highly regarded for his fresco painting skills.

CIRCLE OF SIR ANTHONY VAN DYCK (ANTWERP 1599 - LONDON 1641) A Knight on horseback oil on oak panel circa 1630 27 x 21 cm (10 1/2 x 8 1/4 in.) PROVENANCE: Baron Courtauld Thomson, London EXHIBITION: Exposition de l’Art Belge au XVIIe Siècle, Brussels, 1910, no. 160 as : ‘Cavalier (esquisse). - Bois, h. 27, l. 21 cm. M. Courtauld-Thomson-Esq, Londres.’ The present work was probably painted around 1630. This type of sketch, derived from similar studies by Rubens, would have been used in Van Dyck’s studio as models for his equestrian portrait commissions. Two small sketches identical in size and subject exist, one in the Metropolitan Museum, New York (Fig. 1) and another which appeared at auction at Accademia Fine Art, Monaco on 5th April 2014 (Fig.2). A dendrochronological analysis report dates the panel to 1596.

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.

60

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. 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 utilising 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.

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.

62

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 25% on the hammer price plus VAT on that commission 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: No Symbol: The standard rate of VAT is charged on the premium under the Auctioneers Margin Scheme in accordance with Art. 333 of 2006/112/EC. Standard UK VAT will be charged on the buyers’ premium and invoiced on an inclusive basis. †: Normal VAT rules apply and the standard rate of VAT will be charged on both hammer price and premium. *: These lots have been imported from outside the EU for sale and placed under the Temporary Admission regime. Import VAT is payable at 5% on the hammer price. VAT at 20% will be added to the buyer’s premium but will not be shown separately on the invoice. In order to receive a refund of VAT amounts/Import VAT (as applicable) non-EU buyers must: (a) have registered to bid with an address outside of the EU; and (b) export the lot from the EU within 30 days of collection for * lots and 3 months of collection for all other lots and immediately afterwards provide us with satis­factory proof of export.

(e) If you are re-exporting a * lot outside of the EU, you must either use Chiswick Auctions Ltd TA Shipper or arrange for us to transfer the TA from our shipper to your own TA or bond account. 4.3 Taxes The Buyer is responsible for paying VAT on any Lot, above hammer price and Buyer’s premium. The rate applicable shall be the legal rate at the date of the sale. Goods such as books and antique books, music, maps and charts etc. are subject to zerorated VAT. In addition, any import taxes that may be incurred shall be paid by the Buyer above hammer price, VAT and Buyer’s premium. The present paragraph applies in particular to imports within the United-States and Australia. The Buyer is advised to verify such matters prior to the sale. 4.4 Artist Resale Rights / Droit de Suite Lots marked with ‘ARR’ may be subject to a levy. Droit de Suite is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or to the artist’s heir each time a work is resold during the artist’s lifetime and up to a period of 70 years after the artist’s death. Royalties are calculated on a cumulative sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium. The royalty does not apply to Lots selling below the sterling equivalent of €1,000 and the maximum royalty payable on any single Lot is the sterling equivalent of €12,500. Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows: • From 0 to €50,000 4% • From €50,000.01 to €200,000 3% • From €200,000.01 to €350,000 1% • From €350,000.01 to €500,000 0.5% • Exceeding €500,000 0.25% 4.5 Remedies for non-payment If the Buyer fails to make full payment in cleared funds within the time required as aforementioned, CA Ltd shall be entitled to exercise any one or more of the following rights or remedies additional to such other rights or remedies available: • To cancel the sale • To charge interest at 4% per annum above the base rate of Lloyds Bank Plc. • To resell the Lot on such terms by auction or otherwise entirely at CA Ltd’s discretion. The Buyer will be liable for all costs including legal fees incurred in the sale and will remain liable for any shortfall arising upon sale. • To offset against any sums which CA Ltd may owe the Buyer the outstanding sums unpaid by the said Buyer


• 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 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. 4.6 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). 4.7 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 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. Any balance proceeds of sale received after payment of all sums outstanding and due to CA Ltd shall be held for the account of the Buyer. 4.8 Shipping Any shipping costs that may arise subsequent to the sale shall be at the Buyer’s expense. Such costs may include but not limited to postage, import and export permits where required and any other licence necessary for goods to be shipped outside of the European Union. CA Ltd does not offer insurance for shipping. However, CA Ltd may arrange insurance upon the Buyer’s request and at the Buyer’s expense. CA Ltd cannot be held responsible for any damages that may be incurred to goods prior to the fall of the hammer. 4.9 Loss or Damage 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. 4.10 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.

63


‘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.
