23 δ Damien Hirst (British, b.1965) (designer) and Mike Smith (constructor) Commode Chair for 100% Weird Welded steel chair with bedpan seat, 1994, designed by Damien Hirst, constructed by Mike Smith, as featured in Damien Hirst's short film 100% Weird, overall size 1910 x 535 x 480 mm (75 1/4 x 21 x 19) In 1994 Damien Hirst collaborated with the film maker Tony Kaye to produce a short film entitled 100% Weird. Shot at the Slaughter House Gallery in London, the film featured images such as dead livestock, an industrial insectocutor and the commode chair in the present lot. The chair with a bedpan for a seat was designed by Hirst and built by Mike Smith (the technician who builds many of the artist's vitrines and other elements in his sculptural works) it takes an integral role in the film, and in one notorious scene shot from below we see the artist's naked posterior seated on the chair excrete what appears to be a baked bean. The film was so provocative that it was never screened by the company that commissioned it: TNT Movies, and whilst Hirst has spoken about the film publicly, it was not until his retrospective at Tate Modern in 2012 that the film was shown to a wider audience. A copy of the film on DVD accompanies the present lot. Provenance: A gift from Damien Hirst to the present owner £15,000-20,000

25 Tony D’Amico (DNTT) (British, b.1960) Immaculate Deception, 2012 Galvanised carved steel and wood, Signed and dated in black marker verso, 790 x 460 mm (31 x 18 in) The artist describes the work as follows “this piece subverts the cultural branding that saturates our lives - The Nike swoosh (which is of course a tick), Apple’s bitten apple, The Nazi swastika, Christ on the cross: they are all potent symbols which have been ideologically hijacked to suit the agenda of their new ‘owners’. Jesus suffering on the cross conveys the agenda of the Papal Roman Empire - one of dominance, repression and its ruthless pursuit of power- that has nothing to do with Christ’s original message of peace and love. In this sculpture, Christ is seen with a bloodied cow’s head- a sacrificial offering. It attempts to expose the way the image of Jesus has been misrepresented to become the corporate symbol of religious control”. Provenance: Mutate Britain, London £2,000-3,000

61 δ Klaus Geigle (German, b.1969) Szene aus “Die Vogel” (Scene from “The Birds”) Oil on canvas, 2006, signed, titled and dated on the reverse of the circular wooden mount, diameter 68cm. Geigle lives and works in Münster, Germany, his work focuses on the destructive interplay between the urban landscape and nature, often creating an image as if taken from the perspective of a bird or small animal. His works have a washed-out, ghostly presence, almost as if one were looking at a faded photograph or a piece of antique cinema reel. The present work perfectly captures his artistic viewpoint. By focusing on a particularly ominous scene from Alfred Hitchcock's seminal film of 1963 The Birds, Geigle, in one painting succinctly melds both his vision of a dark interplay between urban life and Nature, with that of Hitchcock's vision of nature fighting back against urban encroachment. Exhibited: Project Gallery montanaberlin, Berlin Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner £4,000-6,000

This year Dreweatts charity collection is for Temwa - an organisation working to support the rural communities of northern Malawi, Africa. This area is one of the most disadvantaged and remote regions in the world. These isolated communities live with inadequate food supplies, high levels of HIV & AIDS, poor health & education infrastructure and the Malawian government has admitted that it is neglecting these people’s basic needs. Temwa aims to fight poverty, hunger and disease. They currently run projects in number of key areas: agriculture, forestry, micro-finance, HIV & AIDS education and schools support. They aim to provide the resources to enable these people to lift themselves out of poverty and create lasting change for their own future. Temwa has strong links with the urban art scene and been supported by a wealth of talented artists since its conception in Bristol in 2003, annual art events called ‘Art for Africa’ are held in aid of Temwa in Bristol and in London. Over the last 10 years Temwa has grown and developed alongside the urban art scene, artists have become established on a world wide scale, andTemwa’s projects have expanded and they are now helping thousands & thousands of people to dramatically change their lives.The kindness, generosity and dedication of these artists has enabledTemwa to go from strength to strength. This year’s ‘Art for Africa’ collection is one of their strongest yet, boasting exceptional pieces from the following artists: TRXTR, Robert Sample, Dicy, The Toasters, Mr Jago, Andy Council, Mau Mau, 3rdeye, Man One, WERC, Vyal, Jim Starr, Wreckage, Ryca, K-Guy, Adam Koukoudakis, Schoony, Snug, Cole Sternberg. Each piece has been uniquely created and donated to this event, meaning all the money goes directly to Temwa. Everyone at Temwa is extremely grateful to all of the generous artists and everyone at Dreweatts, in particular Mary McCarthy, for making this collection possible. The hard work and dedication that all involved have put in to support its success is greatly appreciated. The launch party for the Dreweatts Contemporary and Urban Art Auction will be hosted on Monday the 10th of December. A raffle will be held at this event - all proceeds will go to supporting Temwa’s sustainable community development projects in Malawi. Raffle tickets cost £5.00 and will be available on the night or direct from Temwa’s website www.temwa.org.uk. Temwa would like to thank both Staropramen and Averys Wine Merchants for supporting the launch event. Follow us on Twitter @temwauk www.temwa.org

GLOSSARY OF PRINTMAKING TERMS AQUATINT At etching process in which tone is created by treating a plate with fine particles of acidresistant material (like powdered resin) and then placing the plate in an acid bath. The acid bites into the plate between the grains of resin and, when printed, the mass of tine spots produces a textured area with tonal effects similar to watercolour wash. ARTIST PROOF/ EPREUVE D'ARTISTE/ PROVA D’ARTISTA Impressions printed especially for the artist and excluded from the numbering of an edition, but exactly like the editioned prints in every other respect. Usually appears as “A.P.” “E.A.” or “P.A.” BLINDSTAMP The embossed, inked, or stamped symbol used by printers and print workshops, usually in the margin of the paper as a mark of identification. Bon à Tirer/ Right to Print The proof approved by the artist which establishes the standard for all of the other prints in the edition. BURR When using a drypoint needle or other engraving tool to draw directly into a metal plate, small, fine pieces of metal are raised up on both sides of the scored line. This burr holds additional ink during the printing process and gives the lines a valvety or fuzzy texture. Burr is very delicate and consequently is easily worn down during the pressures of the printing process. Early pulls or impressions taken from such plates are characterized by rich burr CANCELLATION PROOF When the edition is complete, the matrix – a block, plate, stone, mylar or other – is effaced, crossed out or otherwise “cancelled”. An impression is then taken from this matrix, showing that the plate has been “cancelled”. This ensures that no further un-cancelled impressions can be pulled.
CARBORUNDUM The trade name for silicon carbide, carborundum began its use in printmaking as an abrasive which was used in effacing lithographic stones. The particles, when mixed together with glue can also be used to draw on a plate – sometimes creating a raised surface – which is then inked and printed with the ink being held in the spaces between the particles. The resulting prints are often textured due to the raised areas of the printing surface. CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ A scholarly catalogue which should include all the known works by an artist at the time of publication. Essential information by which works are identified is included. CHINE APPLIQUÉ/ CHINE COLLÉ A method of adhering a thin paper, sometimes of a different colour or texture, onto a larger, heavier sheet during the printing process using glue or water to dampen and coat the papers. COLOPHON/ JUSTIFICATION A note, usually at the end of a book or portfplio of prints, giving all or some of the following information; name of work, author, printer, place of printing, date, size of edition. DECKLE EDGE The natural, untrimmed edge of handmade paper usually slightly uneven and sometimes slightly thinker than the rest of the sheet. DRYPOINT An intaglio process in which a plate is marked or incised directly with a needle. The drypoint line can look very much like an etched line but is usually lighter and characterized by the existence of burr. EDITION The total number of impressions pulled of a single image or set of images from the same matrix. To this number the artist usually authorizes the addition of a small number of artist's printer's, publisher's and other proofs.
107
EMBOSSING A process used to create a raised surface or raised element, but printed without ink. ENGRAVING An intaglio process in which a plate is marked or incised directly with a burin or other metalmarking tool. No acid is used in this process since the design is dug out by hand. An engraved line can range from very deep and wide, to lighter and thinner and is often characterized by a pointed end signaling the exit of the “v” shaped burin from the metal. ETCHING An intaglio process in which a plate is treated with an acid-resistant ground. The artist then draws through the ground. The artist then draws through the ground with carious tools to expose the metal. The plate is then immersed in an acid bath where the acid “bites” or chemically dissolves the exposed lines. The metal plate is therefore “carved” or “etched” by the acid rather than by a tool directly in the metal. FOUL-BITING When the acid-resistant ground on a metal plate does not keep the acid entirely out, irregularities can appear. These “bitten” areas will, when the plate is printed, catch ink and appear as spots or oddly inked areas.
LINOCUT/ LINOLEUM CUT A relief process, like a woodcut, where the artist carves the design out of the linoleum or linoleum mounted onto wood. What remains is printed, rather than what is cut away. LITHOGRAPHY A planographic printing process where a drawing is made directly on a stone or other smooth matrix with greasy materials such as lithographic crayon. The surface is then dampened with water, which is repelled by the greasy areas. The surface is then rolled with greasy printing ink which adheres only to the greasy areas and is itself repelled by the areas which have water. The drawn image is then printed. MASTER PRINTER A highly skilled printer who works very closely with the artist to produce the edition. MATRIX The base from which the print is made. This can be anything – a standard metal plate or lithographic stone, a potato or vinyl record, a stencil – anything from which you print.
FRONTISPIECE Illustration in a book opposite the title page.
MEZZOTINT An intaglio method in which the entire surface of the plate is roughened by a spiked tool (“rocker”) so that, if inked, the entire plate would print in solid black. The artist then works from “black” to “white” by scraping (or burnishing) out areas to produce lighter tones.
HELIOGRAVURE A method of making a photo-etched or photogravure plate using an aquatint texture directly on the plate to create tone.
MONOTYPE A unique image printed from an unworked, smooth, metal or glass surface painted in ink by the artist.
HORS-COMMERCE/ “H.C.” Meaning “outside of the commercial edition”, these proofs, not originally intended for sale, are excluded from the numbering of an edition, but are otherwise exactly like the editioned prints in every other respect.
MONOPRINT A print which has as its base an etching, lithography or woodcut and which is then uniquely altered by monotype colouring, unique inking, or choices in paper colour.
INTAGLIO All matrices which have either been cut into or “bitten” into. The resulting “dug out” lines are printed. Intaglio processes include etching, aquatint, engraving, mezzotint and metal engravings, among others.
108
OFFSET PRINTING Method of printing in which the inked image from a lithographic stone, a metal plate or other matrix is first transferred to an intermediary such as a rubber cylinder or blanket and then to paper, thus creating an image in the same direction as the original.
PHOTO-ETCHING / PHOTOGRAVURE An intaglio process in which an image is produced on an etching plate by photographic means. (See also Heliogravure) PHOTO-LITHOGRAPH A process in which an image is produced on a lithographic plate by photographic means. PLANOGRAPHIC PRINT Printing from a flat surface. Planographic processes include lithography and some forms of commercial printing. PLATE MARK The imprint in the paper resulting from the edge of a metal plate being pushed into it during the pressure of the printing process. PLATE TONE A veil of ink intentionally left on the surface of the plate during printing which creates delicate areas of tone or shading.
SOFT-GROUND ETCHING An etching technique where a soft ground is laid on the metal plate. The artist draws onto a piece of paper which is laid down on top of the ground. The ground adheres to the paper here the pencil or other tool has pressed down into it through the paper and pulls away when the paper is lifted. The resulting “marked” plate is placed in an acid-bath where the acid “bites” into the more exposed areas where the ground has been “lifted”. The line created is often soft and grainy. STATE An impression taken from the plate at a particular moment or stage of development and distinguished from impressions taken at other times during that process. The final state is the state from which editions are generally pulled, although some artists pull several impressions in each state.
POCHOIR A printing process using stencils, originally used to simulate hand-colouring.
STEEL FACING When a metal intaglio plate is covered with a thin deposit of steel using electrolysis creating a much harder surface which can accommodate larger numbers of printings before wear becomes evident.
PRINTER'S PROOFS Impressions printed especially for the printer(s) and excluded from the numbering of an edition, but exactly like the editioned prints in every other respect. Usually appears as “P.P.”
TRIAL PROOF An early poof, often incorporating artist's revisions and changes and generally not identical to the numbered, editioned prints. Also referred to as Working Proof.
PROGRESSIVE PROOFS Series of proofs taken to show each individual colour plate and each combination of them culminating in the final, complete version.
TUSCHE Grease in stick or liquid form used principally for drawing in lithography.
PUBLISHER The person or entity who subsidizes and often initiates the making of a print edition or portfolio and who also disseminates the prints. RELIEF PRINTING When the image is printed from the raised or uncarved portion of the matrix. Relief processes include woodcuts and linocuts, among others. SCREENPRINT / SILKSCREEN A printing process using stencils to block out areas which are then printed through silk, nylon or metal mesh.
WATERMARK Design in the paper seen when held against the light. A manufacturer's mark, it is used to trace the origin and date of the paper. WAXTYPE A process like screenprinting where pigmented beeswax is used rather than traditional printer's ink. WOODCUT A relief technique where the image or design is left raised above what is carved out of the wood. What is not carved is printed.

These Conditions of Sale and Business constitute the contract between Dreweatts (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. 4. 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 24% (28.8% including VAT) of the hammer price on each lot up to and including £150,000, plus 12% (14.40% including VAT) for any amount in excess of £150,000. VAT at the prevailing rate of 20% is added to all of these premiums and additional charges as defined below. 5. 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. 6. 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
110
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 puchases 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. 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. 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 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. Commission is charged to sellers at the following rates:- please enquire at our salerooms. 3. 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. 4. 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 liablilty, 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 writng 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 4 (a) is inapplicable. 5. 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. 6. Minimum bids and our discretion. Goods will normally be offered subject to a reserve agreed between us before the sale in accordance with clause 7. 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. 7. 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 insurance 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. 8. 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. 9. 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 8 and 9 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 10. 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. 11. Unsold and withdrawn items. If an item is unsold it may with your consent 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. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. Authority to deduct commission and expenses and retain premium and interest. (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.
(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. 15. 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. 16. 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 10 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.

Commission bids Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular Lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we will if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so save where such failure is unreasonable. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. 11. Warranty of title and availability The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you that the seller is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 12. Agency The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by sellers or buyers. 13. Terms of sale The seller acknowledges that Lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the Lot. 14. 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.
