The absence of specific information does not imply that the lot is free from defects or that it is in good condition. Bidders should satisfy themselves in all respects by personal inspection before bidding. Estimate ranges are provided for general information only and are given in Pounds Sterling (£). For antiquities, approximate equivalents in Euros (EUR) and US Dollars (USD). Hammer prices may fall outside the ranges indicated. All bids and payments must be made in Pounds Sterling (£).

TimeLine Auctions are proud to be members of the Art Loss Register. The Art Loss Register (ALR) is the world’s largest private database of lost and stolen art, antiques and collectibles. All lots with an upper estimate value of £1,000 and above, and ALL Western Asiatic lots, are searched against the Art Loss Register database. This is to ensure that no items that have been reported to the ALR as stolen are offered for sale. The ALR database consists of registrations from law enforcement agencies, insurance companies, the trade and theft victims internationally.
