An Early 19th Century Chinese Export Black Lacquer Centre Table the gilt decorated circular tilt top bearing the coat-of-arms of the Barons of Elphinstone, above a baluster shaped pedestal on a flat tripod with paw feet, 78.5cm high, 92cm diameter Provenance: Reputedly the Barons Elphinstone £2,000 - £3,000

** A Large Pair of Decalcomania Vases of baluster shape, profusely decorated with polychrome chinoiseries set against a light blue ground, 84cm high Decalcomania is the process by which paper picture transfers and designs were applied in a decorative manner onto other more solid materials such as glass, wood and metal. This highly decorative technique became incredibly popular throughout the nineteenth century in France and Victorian England. The present vases display this technique: the decorative transfers, often chinoiseries, figures and exotic animals, have been applied to the inside of the glass vases and subsequently backed with a neutrally toned paint that highlights the decoration. 2

** A Pair of 18th Century Painted

German Rococo Girandoles

carved with high relief scrolls forming a pierced canopy, surmounted by a polychrome foliate scroll, entwined with branches, flowers and buds, 43cm wide, 112cm high This pair of South German girandoles with their rich expressive rococo carving are related to a group of pieces associated with the oeuvre of a group of carvers, designers and gilders working in the 1760’s in and around Munich, and in particular at the Schloss Nymphenburg. Throughout the period white ground polychrome furniture and decorations gained in popularity. The Emperor Maximillian III was Prince-elector and Duke of Bavaria from 17451777, and it is under his guidance and artistic patronage that this taste became fashionable. He founded the Nymphenburg porcelain factory, and was a patron of Francois de Cuvillies, a pioneer of the rococo style. Another one of his circle was the musician Mozart. White porcelain which had its roots in Chinese blanc de chine, stylistically pervaded all areas of the decorative arts and the illustrated girandoles testify to the Emperor’s influence in the sphere of the furniture. £4,000 - £6,000

Marquetry Pembroke Table

the serpentine crossbanded top with a central oval rosewood marquetry medallion inlaid with a neo-classical urn surrounded by engraved bell flowers, within an outer crossbanding inlaid with a running pearl motif border, the leaves each with a fan medallion, the frieze with a single drawer flanked by simulated fluting in boxwood, the square tapering legs decorated with water leaf marquetry feet, terminating in the original brass castors, inlaid throughout with tulipwood bandings and stringing 98cm wide, 68cm high, 70cm deep

£8,000 - £12,000 Provenance: Mallett and Son (Antiques), 1960 Literature: Clifford Musgrave, ‘Adam and Hepplewhite and other Neo-Classical Furniture’, Faber and Faber, London, 1966, figs. 130 and 131. The term ‘Pembroke’ table originated from the Countess of Pembroke who reputedly ordered the first example of its type. The Heppalewhite period in late eighteenth century England is epitomised by the neo-classical designs of the cabinetmaker George Hepplewhite. His furniture patterns are characterized by a classic simplicity and delicacy as well as light, curved forms, painted or inlaid decoration, and distinctive details such as slender tapering legs terminating in spade feet. The three oval panels of neo-classical marquetry, the use of inlaid dentil molding framing the central drawer and the collars on the legs above elaborate marquetry inlay to each ankle, relate to furniture produced by Christoph Furlohg. Furlohg was a Swedish cabinetmaker who was trained in Europe by the French ebeniste JeanFrancois Oeben. He became an employee of John Linnell at Berkeley Square and was much in demand for his marquetry work of ‘curiously inlaid mahogany and satinwood articles’. He combined his French techniques with the new neoclassical taste in England, which attracted many distinguished patrons including the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Portland.

An Art Deco Cabinet by Alfed Chambon mounted in oriental-style gilt bronzes, 94.5cm wide, 144.8cm high, 50.1cm deep The present cabinet relates in both its design and use of mediums to a safe and coin cabinet which Chambon presented at the Exposition Universelle, Paris in 1825. Alfred Chambon (1884-1973) established his workshops in Brussels in 1925 with his father, the architect Alban Chambon. Alfred developed a unique and disfuncture style, drawing inspiration from the simplified lines of Bahaus and the elegance of oriental motifs. He infused drama into his pieces with rich and exotic veneers such as burr walnut, rosewood, mahogany, and ebony to which he applied elaborate gilt-bronze mounts. £3,000 - £5,000

** A Late 18th Century

Biscuit Figure of Hope representing Hope depicted as a classically draped female figure resting upon an anchor, Marcolini period (1779-1818), 38cm high The celebrated Meissen factory near Dresden in Germany still exists and can now look back at nearly three hundred years of history. The illustrated figure in biscuit representing Hope dates from the Marcolini period (1774- 1814) named after Count Camillo Marcolini, favourite of Augustus III of Poland, Elector of Saxony and minister responsible for the factory. He steered the company back from the brink of disaster following the seven years war. Production during

M A L L E T T LONDON • NEW YORK

his stewardship was significantly influenced by the rival Sevres factory and at this time neo-classical biscuit subjects became popular. The modelling of this particular figure may be attributed to a factory artist called Schonheit who specialised after 1789 in classically inspired biscuit figures or Christoph Gottfried Juchster who became Modellmeister in 1781 and who also specialised in classical biscuit subjects often inspired by casts in the Electors own collection. Though Marcolini had some success in improving the factory’s finances, the Meissen company remained in substantial debt after his death. £1,000 - £1,500

His training was concluded under the auspices of the Roentgen firm of cabinet-makers which he joined in 1789. In 1799 Klinckerfuss was appointed Kabinettebenist to the court shortly after Friederich Eugen’s accession the throne and remained in this position until 1812 when he started his own furniture business. However he continued to supply furniture for the Royal court until his death in 1831.

A design by Klinkerfuss for a table with similar pedestal support is illustrated in Wolfgang Wiese, `Johaness Klinckerfuss’, 1994, p. 354, fig. 43. A further related table by the same maker is illustrated in Johann August, `Biedermeierzeit’, pl. 13 (see footnote to Sotheby’s New York, 18 November 2010, lot 160 for a more extensive list of comparable furniture associated with Klinkerfuss).

Provenance: Supplied to George John, 2nd Earl Spencer (1758-1834) either for Spencer House, London or Althorp, Northamptonshire and thence by descent. Sold Christie’s ‘The Spencer House Sale’, 8 July 2010, lot 1055. Literature: Albert Edward John, 7th Earl Spencer (1892-1975), Althorp, Furniture, Vol. I, circa 1937 and later P. Thornton and J. Hardy, ‘The Spencer Furniture at Althorp’, Apollo, October 1968, p. 270, fig. 8 These `cabriolet’ chairs form part of a suite of at least seventeen. They relate to chairs by Herve supplied for Chatsworth in 1782 which

M A L L E T T LONDON • NEW YORK

were conceived in a more `transitional’ style . Interestingly Herve restricted himself to chair-making and sometimes caning, whereas the `japanned’ ornament and gilding was outsourced. A bill presented to Spencer’s brother-in-law the 5th Duke of Devonshire by Bickley in 1782 included `japanned seven dozen backstools cane colour’ (see I. Hall, `A neoclassical episode at Chatsworth’, The Burlington Magazine, vol. 122, June 1980, pp. 400-414, fig. 39). The `Curator’ 7th Earl recorded that `many of these chairs had been put awa in the stables and were gilded and covered in silk in 1877/78.

A French Empire Rosewood Bureau Plat by Molitor the top with a pair of leather covered slides and a double tier of citronnier lined drawers in the frieze, on four parcel gilt leopards head monopodia, each end joined by a stepped plinth stretcher, signed Molitor and bearing the JME stamp, gilding restored and the leather replaced, 125cm wide, 81cm high, 83cm deep £10,000 - £15,000 Bernard Molitor led a charmed life. He was born in Betzdorf, Luxembourg in 1755 and trained as a sculptor before tiring of provincial life and moving to Paris probably before 1778. He lived through the most turbulent of times and survived the French Revolution, the Terror, the Empire and even the Restoration without serious loss. At his death in 1833, at the then very senior age of seventy-eight, he left a substantial fortune. The great and famous ébénistes of the late 18th and 19th centuries rarely enjoyed a lifetime of financial stability, let alone the ability to survive

political upheaval. The life and work of Bernard Molitor are exceptional from this perspective alone, before even taking into consideration his prodigious output. Early on in his career his business acumen came to the fore. In 1778, he is recorded in the ‘Petites Affiches’ advertising a patent insect killer. Later, in 1782, he advertised an ingenious patent hand warmer, fashioned as a small pile of books; the box in mahogany or walnut, had a metal liner which could be filled with hot coals. However, Molitor’s output was not limited to innovative gadgets. He had a furniture workshop which he leased at the Arsenal and enjoyed considerable success, though it was not until 1787 that he was received as a maître. In 1788, Bernard Molitor made the usual ‘political’ marriage to which successful cabinetmakers seem predisposed. He married Elizabeth Fessard, daughter of the charpentier du roi. Perhaps it is cynical to see his marriage as entirely career motivated, as Molitor had already received a royal commission. However shortly after his marriage it was no coincidence that he began to receive regular commissions from the Queen’s circle.

The Revolution brought ruin to many and death at the guillotine. The ace Molitor held was that his cousin, Michel, had been actively involved in the storming of the Bastille; so with his help, Bernard, desbite being interrogated, managed to avoid arousing serious Revolutionary suspicions. Over the following decades, he was honoured with commissions from the Emperor Napoleon, King Jerome of Westphalia and many private noble collectors including the duc de Choiseul-Praslin. Molitor’s remarkable survival owes most to the fact that he managed to create a style that was both simple and original. His work was clearly individual as well as not being too intrusive. Above all other factors, Molitor achieved success over this extended period because his work was consistently of outstanding quality. See: Leben, Ulrich. 1992. Bernard Molitor. Philip Wilson Publishers. A very similar table by Molitor with three frieze drawers sold Christie’s New York 29 November 2012, lot 261.

A Set of Four Louis XVI Fauteuils the rectangular shaped backs, with detailed acanthus leaf carving at each arm, standing on turned tapering reeded fluted legs, two chairs stamped Sené, 61cm wide, 94cm high, 56cm deep £4,000 - £6,000 Claude II Sené, was the youngest son of Claude I Sené and brother of the celebrated Jean-Baptiste-Claude. He originally worked on the rue de Faubourg-Saint-Denis and became master of his workshop in 1769, but unfortunately had to file for bankruptcy in 1783.

M A L L E T T LONDON • NEW YORK

A year later he resumed his business activity and set up his own studio on the rue de Cléry, close to that of his brother. It is likely he would have received a few orders of work from the Crown; however it seems that he worked mainly for private clients. The studio was forced to stop production with the start of the Revolution, but Claude II leaves behind him the legacy of great Louis XVI chairs; elegant, well designed and delicately carved. His most popular armchairs à la reine (with flat, shield shaped backs), appear to take their model from his elder brother Jean-Baptiste (examples of which can be seen in the musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris), although not being intended for the court, they are decorated with a more restrained

simplicity. They also reflect designs created by a prominent furniture maker of the time, Georges Jacob, who was frequently commissioned to create elegant suites of furniture for Queen Marie Antoinette’s apartments at Fontainebleau, Versailles and Saint-Cloud. It is often difficult to distinguish between the works of Claude II and his father, Claude I, who continued working until 1780. However, his father’s works are more characteristic of the early Louis XV style involving more elaborate rococo elements, whilst Claude II is more characteristic of the neo-classical Louis XVI style. Although there is no initial on the stamps of these particular chairs it is most likely the work of Claude II as his stamps were of a smaller script than Claude I.

A George III Mahogany Commode in the manner of Thomas Chippendale, the shaped top with a moulded edge and projecting front corners above an unusual arrangement of ten drawers surrounding two dummy drawers in the centre revealing one deep compartment, with finely cast and chased gilt-brass handles and raised on rare shaped bracket feet, the dummy drawers later adapted 125cm wide, 77cm high, 61cm deep

The highly unusual bracket feet on this commode are almost identical to those seen on a pair of serpentine commodes supplied by Thomas Chippendale to Ninian Home for Paxton House, Scotland in 1774. This rare bracket foot is also found on another serpentine commode, almost certainly by Chippendale, supplied to the 10th Earl of Pembroke for Wilton House Wiltshire, circa 1770 (cf. Christopher Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas

Chippendale, 1978, p. 117, figs. 205-6). The link to Chippendale is strengthened by the fact that the handles on the present commode are of a pattern frequently used by Chippendale. As well as being of a grand size and of superb colour the commode is also distinguished by its highly unusual serpentine outline and drawer arrangement - quite possibly a unique combination.

Since the number of sofas in any suite of seat furniture is unlikely to exceed a pair, surviving examples are considerably more scarce than chairs which were supplied in sets.

Giuseppe Maria Bonzanigo was born in Asti in 1740, and died in Turin in 1820. During his long and distinguished career he established himself as the finest exponent of neo-classical carved furniture in Piedmont. His commissions included many carried out for Vittorio Amedeo III, and, in 1787, Bonzanigo received the accolade of being named a Royal Sculptor, with a salary of 20 lire. Examples of his work can be seen in the Palazzo Reale in Turin, and also in the hunting lodge at Stupinigi, where he supplied many of the furnishings for the royal apartments.

Tripod tables were primarily made for holding tea and coffee equipage. Tea had been introduced to England from Holland in the early 17th century and in spite of the high prices and heavy duty imposed, it gradually became a fashionable drink around which great ceremony revolved. Towards the middle of the 18th century there was a shift from the former fashion of drinking in tea gardens to drinking at home. Consequently cabinet-makers turned their attention to the making of suitable ornamental tables, often for a special tea-room. In the ‘Female Spectator’ of 1745, a contributor wrote: ‘The tea-table costs more to support than would maintain two children at nurse’.

Comparative Literature: Adam Bowett, English Furniture 1660-1714 from Charles II to Queen Anne, 2002, pp. 282-285; Tessa Murdoch `Jean, René and Thomas Pelletier, a Huguenot Family of Carvers and Gilders in England 1682-1726 – Part II’, Burlington Magazine, June 1998, p. 365, figs. 3-5 The attribution of the present table to Thomas Pelletier is based on close comparison with a group of furniture closely related in both design and carved ornament. These include six slatetopped tables in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle, first supplied to William III for Hampton Court in 1699, illustrated in Tessa Murdoch, `Jean, Rene and Thomas Pelletier, a Huguenot Family of Carvers and Gilders in England 16821726 – Part I’, Burlington Magazine, November 1997, p. 735, fig. 5; a pair of tables with verde antico tops, at Buckingham Palace, reputedly supplied by Pelletier for Hampton Court Palace in 1700, illustrated in Murdoch op. cit., p. 737, fig. 7; and a table at Boughton House, Northamptonshire probably supplied to the 1st Duke of Montagu for Montagu House, London in 1699, illustrated in Murdoch op. cit., p. 734, fig. 4. A further pair of lacquer topped giltwood tables with strikingly similar legs, stretchers and foliated strapwork carving, `The Warwick Tables’, sold Sotheby’s London, 10 July 1998, lot 116 (£1.5m hammer). The latter were supplied by the royal cabinet-maker Gerrit Jensen, almost certainly in association with Thomas Pelletier for Queen Anne at St. James’s Palace, circa 1704-5. In addition to the aforementioned group, a pair of William III carved giltwood chandeliers, attributed to Jean Pelletier with provenance from Picton Castle and possibly supplied to John Philipps 4th Baronet, sold Sotheby’s London, 23 November 2005, lot 56. Picton Castle The Castle which originated as a 13th century medieval building was redecorated in the reign of George II and in 1800 a new block was added which included a dining room.

M A L L E T T LONDON • NEW YORK

The Castle first came into the ownership of the Baronets Phillips during the mid-15th century and throughout the 18th and 19th centuries the family became highly influential in Pembrokeshire. During this period various family members supplied the county with sheriffs, justices of the peace, lord lieutenants and members of parliament for consecutive generations. Following their ennoblement by James I in the 17th century, the 7th Baronet was elevated to the peerage as Lord Milford in 1776. One of his notable forbears included General Sir Richard (1660-1750) who was in the service of William of Orange before he ascended the throne of England. William chose the General to make the proclamation that initiated the glorious revolution of 1688, and his arrival in England. Sir John the 4th Baronet (d. 1737), married Mary the daughter of Anthony Smith, a rich merchant who was one of the directors of the East India Company. This financially beneficial liaison funded the improvements to the building which included an additional storey, a new main entrance at 1st floor level and alterations to the windows. His second son Sir John Philipps , 6th Baronet (1701-1764) inherited the castle in 1749 and embarked on considerable improvements to the interior shortly after. These may have included the commissioning of some of the castle’s impressive chimneypieces from Sir Henry Cheere with whom he was in correspondence at the time (see Mark Girouard, `Picton Castle, Pembrokeshire – III’, Country Life, 28 January, 1960, p. 69). During the 18th century members of the family were politically active in several Tory administrations. Most notably Sir John, who had Jacobite leanings and later Sir Richard, the 7th Baronet who became Lord Milford. His Irish peerage, according to anecdote was granted by George III to ameliorate offence when the King declined permission to grant Sir Richard carriage access through Green Park to his town house which stood on part of the site of the current Ritz Hotel. In the 19th century the inheritance passed to a cadet branch with three Philipps brothers elevated to the peerage as Lord Milford (of the second creation), Lord St. David’s and Lord Kylsant.

and Lotherton Hall, Leeds, 1978, no. 413; a table with a similar concave-sided plinth sold Sotheby’s London, 2 June 2000, lot 156. A further almost identical table was offered Christie’s London, 22 November 2007, lot 700. Both the distinctive monumental base with its central finial and the bold ebony marquetry inner border to the leaves epitomise the work of the leading Regency cabinet-maker George Bullock (d. 1818), who established his Piccadilly `Grecian Rooms’ in 1812 before also opening a `tasteful repostitory’ at 4 Tenterden Street, Hanover Square, London. The latter premises were highly commended in Rudolph Ackermann’s The Repository of Arts for their magnificent

`British Oak’ furniture and the ebony foliate border here relates to that on a sofa designed by Bullock in Ackermann’s Repository of Arts, 1817, pl. 93. The style of the marquetry also has affinities with `Tracings by Thomas Wilkinson, from designs of the late George Bullock 1820’, now known as the Wilkinson Tracings which were acquired by the City Museum and Art Gallery of Birmingham in 1974 (see Clive Wainwright et. al., George Bullock Cabinet Maker, 1988). Two `Jupe’ patent dining tables with the a very similar pattern of base are recorded in the dining room at Mottisfont Priory (see H. Avray Tipping, `Mottisfont Priory, Hampshire’, Country Life, 19 November 1921, p. 656, fig. 9.

A Pair of George III Mahogany Hall Chairs in the Manner of Chippendale the pierced scroll backs centred by painted armorial cartouches, the dished and shaped seats supported by cabriole legs terminating in scroll toes, one chair later inscribed to the reverse ‘Home, Sweet Home, 30 Hill Street London’ and with the dates 1785 and 1858, corresponding to the term of the leased London residence of Lord and Lady Brownlow, 48cm wide, 95cm high, 44cm deep £8,000 - £12,000

M A L L E T T LONDON • NEW YORK

These elegant hall chairs bear the patriotic inscription `Home! Sweet Home! from Sigismond Thalberg’s 1857 composition that was much favoured at President Abraham Lincoln’s White House and derived from the words of John Payne’s 1823 opera, “Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home” The inscription was added in 1858 to the back of the chairs which belonged to the Hon. John William Spencer Home-Cust, later 2nd Earl Brownlow (d. 1867). The chairs, with their rich ribbon-fretted backs displaying the Cust family crest on an azure blue

shield, had served in the hall of his Mayfair home since 1785, when they were commissioned by Brownlow Cust, 1st Baron Brownlow (d. 1808). Their backs derive in particular from a 1759 `Hall Chair’ pattern used in the Third Edition of the St. Martin’s Lane cabinet-maker Thomas Chippendale’s, Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker’s Director, (1762)

prominent firms as Gillows. First recorded in 1815 as Taprell and Holland, the firm came under the auspices of William Holland by 1843 who was related to the architect Henry Holland. They formed a partnership with Thomas Dowbiggin of 23 Mount Street whose commissions included Queen Victoria’s state coronation throne. William Holland’s era saw the firm achieve the position of royal cabinet-makers and upholsterers. Their first commission as such was for Osborne House in 1845 supplying furniture in the Louis XVI style favoured by the Queen. They continued to supply furniture for Osborne House until 1869 and were subsequently patronised by the royal family at Windsor Castle, Balmoral and Marlborough House. The firm also worked for many leading institutions such as the Reform and Athenaeum Clubs, The British Museum and Royal Academy. In addition Holland and Sons featured at a series of Major international exhibitions including London in 1862, Vienna in 1873 and Paris in 1867 and 1872.

These Conditions of Sale and Business constitute the contract between Dreweatts and Bloomsbury Auctions (the “Auctioneer”) and the seller, on the one hand, and the buyer on the other. By bidding at the auction, you agree to be bound by these terms. INFORMATION FOR BUYERS 1.

Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All sales are conducted on our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection and normally accompany catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully understand.

2. Agency. As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller. 3.

Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive.

Buyer’s Premium. The Buyer agrees to pay a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot purchased. The buyer’s premium is charged per lot at 24% of the hammer price (28.8% including VAT) up to and including £150,000, 18% (21.6% including VAT) of the hammer price from £150,001 up to and including £1,000,000, and 12% of the hammer price (14.4% including VAT) in excess of £1,000,001. VAT at the prevailing rate of 20% is added to all of these premiums and additional charges as defined below.

VAT. (*) indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate (presently 20%) on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer’s premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. The double symbol (**) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer’s premium). Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax.

Descriptions and Conditions. Condition reports are provided on our website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. The detail in a report will reflect the estimated value of the lot, and large numbers of such requests received shortly before the sale may not receive a response to all lots. Members of staff are not trained restorers or conservators and, particularly for higher value lots, you should obtain an opinion from such a professional. We recommend that you always view a lot in person.

We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them we are normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order. However, in so far as we have examined the goods and make a representation about their condition, we shall be liable for any defect which that examination ought to have revealed to the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer had the buyer examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstances lots misdescribed because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is a 3 week time limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale).

7. Electrical goods. These are sold as ‘antiques’ only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. 8. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if you need help. 9.

Bidding. Bidders may be required to register before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification may be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding.

10. Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers’ premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or fax. 11. Methods of Payment. The following methods of payment are acceptable. Debit Card drawn on a UK bank and registered to a UK billing address. There is no additional charge for purchases made with these cards.

Bank transfer direct into our bank account, all transfers must state the relevant sale number, lot number and your bid / paddle number. If transferring from a foreign currency, the amount we receive must be the total due in pounds sterling (after currency conversion and the deduction of any bank charges). Our bank details can be found on the front or your invoice or in the sale catalogue under ‘Important Notices’.

Sterling cash payments of up to £12,000 (subject to money laundering regulations). All major UK issued credit cards registered to a UK billing address with the exception of American Express and Diners Club. A surcharge of 3% is payable on all payments made by credit cards. Sterling personal cheques drawn on a UK bank account and made payable to ‘Dreweatts 1759’. It will be necessary to allow at least six working days for the cheque to clear before collecting your purchases.

12. Collection and storage. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected promptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying storage charges. 13. Droit de suite royalty charges. From 1st January 2012 all UK art market professionals (which includes but is not limited to; auctioneers, dealers, galleries, agents and other intermediaries) are required to collect a royalty payment for all works of art that have been produced by qualifying artists each time a work is re-sold during the artist’s lifetime and for a period up to 70 years following the artists death. This payment is only calculated on qualifying works of art which are sold for a hammer price more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 1,000 – the UK sterling equivalent will fluctuate in line with prevailing exchange rates.

respect to these charges will be retained by the auctioneers.

The royalty charge that will be applied to qualifying items which achieve a hammer price of more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 1,000, but less than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 50,000 is 4%. For qualifying items that sell for more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 50,000 a sliding scale of royalty charges will apply – for a complete list of the royalty charges and threshold levels, please see www.dacs.org.uk. There is no VAT payable on this royalty charge.

TERMS OF CONSIGNMENT FOR SELLERS 1.

Interpretation. In these Terms the words ‘you’, ‘yours’, etc. refer to the Seller and if the consignment of goods to us is made by an agent we assume that the Seller has authorised the consignment and that the consignor has the Seller’s authority to contract. Similarly the words ‘we’, ‘us’, etc. refer to the Auctioneers.

2. Warranty. The Seller warrants that possession in the lots can be transferred to the with good and marketable title, free from any third party right and encumbrances, or potential claims. The Seller has provided all information concerning the ownership, condition and provenance, attribution, authenticity, import or export and of any concerns expressed by third parties concerning the same.

Buyer claims items history

3. All commissions and fees are subject to VAT at the prevailing rate. 4. Commission is charged to sellers at the following rates:- please enquire at our salerooms. 5. Removal costs. Items for sale must be consigned to the saleroom by any stated deadline and at your expense. We may be able to assist you with this process but any liability incurred to a carrier for haulage charges is solely your responsibility. 6. Loss and damage of goods. (a) Loss and Damage Warranty - Dreweatts is not authorised by the FSA to provide insurance to its clients, and does not do so. However Dreweatts for its own protection, assumes liability for property consigned to it at the lower pre-sale estimate until the hammer falls. To justify accepting liability, Dreweatts makes a charge of 1.5% of the hammer price plus VAT, subject to a minimum charge of £1.50, or if unsold 1.5% of our lower estimate. The liability assumed by Dreweatts shall be limited to the lower pre sale estimate or the hammer price if the lot is sold. (b) If the owner of the goods consigned instructs us in writing not to take such action, the goods then remain entirely at the owners risk unless and until the property in them passes to the Buyer or they are collected by or on behalf of the owner, and clause 6 (a) is inapplicable. 7. Illustrations. The cost of any illustrations is borne by you. If we consider that the Lot should be illustrated your permission will be asked first. The copyright in respect of such illustrations shall be the property of us, the auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue. 8.

Minimum bids and our discretion. Goods will normally be offered subject to a reserve agreed between us before the sale in accordance with clause 9. We may sell Lots below the reserve provided we account to you for the same sale proceeds as you would have received had the reserve been the hammer price. If you specifically give us a “discretion” we may accept a bid of up to 10% below the formal reserve.

9. Reserves. (a) You are entitled to place prior to the auction a reserve on any lot consigned, being the minimum hammer price at which that lot may be sold. Reserves must be reasonable and we may decline to offer goods which in our opinion would be subject to an unreasonably high reserve (in which case goods carry the storage and loss and damage warranty charges stipulated in these Terms of Consignment).

(b) A reserve once set cannot be changed except with our consent.

(c) Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf and only up to the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances bid personally.

(d) Reserves are not usually accepted for lots expected to realise below £100

10. Electrical items. These are subject to detailed statutory safety controls. Where such items are accepted for sale you accept responsibility for the cost of testing by external contractors. Goods not certified as safe by an electrician (unless antiques) will not be accepted for sale. They must be removed at your expense on your being notified. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense. 11. Soft furnishings. Soft furnishings. The sale of soft furnishings is strictly regulated by statute law in the interests of fire safety. Goods found to infringe safety regulations will not be offered and must be removed at your expense. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense. The rights of disposal referred to in clause 10 and 11 are subject to the provisions of The Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, Schedule 1, a copy of which is available for inspection on request 12. Descriptions. Please assist us with accurate information as to the provenance etc. of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liability for the accuracy of descriptions under modern consumer legislation and in some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuracies occur. We will assume that you have approved the catalogue description of your lots unless informed to the contrary. Where we are obliged to return the price to the buyer when the lot is a deliberate forgery under Condition 15 of the Conditions of Sale and we have accounted to you for the proceeds of sale you agree to reimburse us the sale proceeds. 13. Unsold. Unsold. If an item is unsold it may at our discretion be re-offered at a future sale. Where in our opinion an item is unsaleable you must collect such items from the saleroom promptly on being so informed. Otherwise, storage charges may be incurred. We reserve the right to charge for storage in these circumstances at a reasonable daily rate. 14. Withdrawn and bought in items. These are liable to incur a charge of 15% commission, 1.5 % Loss and Damage Warranty and any other costs incurred including but not limited to illustration and restoration fees all of these charges being subject to VAT on being bought in or withdrawn after being catalogued.

It is entirely the responsibility of the buyer to acquaint himself with the precise EURO to UK Sterling exchange rate on the day of the sale in this regard, and the auctioneer accepts no responsibility whatsoever if the qualifying rate is different to the rate indicated.

15. Conditions of Sale. You agree that all goods will be sold on our Conditions of Sale. In particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goods either as owner or agent for the owner. You undertake to compensate us and any buyer or third party for all losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of this undertaking. We will also, at our discretion, and as far as practicable, confirm that an item consigned for sale does not appear on the Art Loss register, which is administered by an independent third party.

All items in this catalogue that are marked with δ are potentially qualifying items, and the royalty charge will be applied if the hammer price achieved is more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 1,000.The royalty charge will be added to all relevant buyers’ invoices, and must be paid before items can be cleared. All royalty charges are passed on to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’), no handling costs or additional fees with

(a) You authorise us to deduct commission at the stated rate and all expenses incurred for your account from the hammer price and consent to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the buyer in accordance with our Conditions of Sale and any interest earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement.

16. Authority to deduct commission and expenses and retain premium and interest.

(b) You authorise us in our discretion to negotiate a sale by private treaty not later than the close of business 48 hours after the day of sale in the case of lots unsold at auction, in which case the same charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction and so far as appropriate these Terms apply. 17. Warehousing. We disclaim all liability for goods delivered to our saleroom without sufficient sale instructions and reserve the right to make minimum warehousing charge of £10 per lot per day. Unsold lots are subject to the same charges if you do not remove them within a reasonable time of notification. If not removed within three weeks we reserve the right to sell them and defray charges from any net proceeds of sale or at your expense to consign them to the local authority for disposal. 18. Settlement. After sale settlement of the net sum due to you normally takes place within 28 days of the sale (by crossed cheque to the seller) unless the buyer has not paid for the goods. In this case no settlement will then be made but we will take your instructions in the light of our Conditions of Sale. You authorise any sums owed by you to us on other transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds. You must note the liability to reimburse the proceeds of sale to us as under the circumstances provided for in Condition 12 above. You should therefore bear this potential liability in mind before parting with the proceeds of sale until the expiry of 28 days from the date of sale.

Descriptions and condition (1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf ) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”. (2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation. 15. Forgeries. Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the Lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition.

The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.

General 16. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person. 17. (1) Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate. (2) Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them. 18. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail, email or Swiftmail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting. 19. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of the catalogue. 20. Any indulgence extended to bidders, buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect. 21. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
