1. Introduction. The following notes are intended to assist bidders and buyers, particularly those that are inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All of our auctions are governed by our Conditions of Business incorporating the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers), the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the auctioneer at the auction. Our Conditions of Business are available for inspection at our salerooms and the Terms of Sale are printed in the back of our auction catalogues and on our web-site. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Conditions of Business that you do not fully understand. Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale set out in this catalogue or on our website carefully before bidding in the auction. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale. 2. Agency. As auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your contract for the goods is with the seller, not with us as auctioneer. 3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale price. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price (the minimum price for which a lot may be sold) and will not be below the reserve price. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the auctioneer before the auction of the lot. They are not definitive. 4. Buyer’s Premium. The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay a buyer’s premium at 22.5% on the hammer price of each lot purchased. In addition, VAT will be added to this premium (see below). 5. VAT. Items in our catalogue may be marked in the following ways: a. (†) indicates that VAT is payable by the buyer on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer’s premium. VAT will be chargeable at the standard rate (presently 20%). 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. b. (**) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union. [These lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the hammer price and buyer’s premium)]. c. Lots which do not have either of the above symbols have no VAT payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. The VAT included within the premium is not recoverable as input tax. 6. Inspection of goods by the buyer. As we act on behalf of the seller, we are dependent on information provided by the seller about their goods. We may inspect lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of lots to check their condition in the way a buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the goods. You must inspect and investigate lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clause 12.4. 7. Electrical goods. These are sold as “antiques” only. If you buy electrical goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them. 8. Export of goods. If you intend to export goods you must find out: a. whether an export licence is needed; and b. if there is a prohibition on importing goods of that character e.g. because the goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory. 9. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register with us before the auction starts. We reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value lots this deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You will need to provide us with proof of your identity in a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding. Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion. Phone bidders must be prepared to guarantee a starting bid of at least £500 if they wish to bid by telephone. REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN BID LIVE ON EWBANKS LIVE ON THE SAME BASIS AS IF YOU ARE IN THE ROOM. 10. Commission bidding. You may leave commission bids (absentee bids) with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a lot (excluding the buyers’ premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute commission bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained). Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or email or via our website or online bidding platform.
Artists Resale Right: Buyers of lots executed by qualifying artists are subject to ARR payments which will be added to the purchaser's invoice. Where possible such lots are marked in the catalogue with a §. The charge will be applied only where the hammer price exceeds 1,000 Euros and will be a maximum of 4%, for full details visit www.dacs.co.uk or phone +44 (0) 0845 410 3410
11. Methods of Payment. Usually any cheques will need to be cleared before you can take the goods away. Please discuss with our office in advance of the sale if you plan to use other methods of payment (except cash, for which there is an upper limit of 15,000 euros equivalent). There is an additional charge of 2.5% plus VAT on credit card payments with no additional charge on debit card payments (either made securely online or in person via a chip and pin machine). 12. Collection and storage. Please note what the Terms of Sale say about collection and storage. It is important that you pay for and collect goods promptly and within 7 days of the end of a sale. Any delay may involve you having to pay storage charges which are currently set at £5 plus VAT per lot per day. And removal charges at £10 plus VAT per lot per day.

Contents of a Surrey Country House Cunningham House, Woodhill, Send, Surrey Owned By The Late Clive And Annette Lloyd
Ewbank’s, Surrey and Hampshire’s premier auction house, have announced that they are hosting a special single-owner sale on 26th September of the contents of Cunningham House, Woodhill, Send the former residence of Clive and Annette Lloyd, who moved there from Netley Mill in Shere in 1999. The Lloyds previously owned Gomshall Mill, which was mentioned in the Domesday Book, which was in a perilous state and threatened with demolition. They converted it into a thriving tearoom and antique shop. Next door, they established the Gomshall Gallery, which specialised in nineteenth century marine art. Later moving to Cuningham House about 200 yards from Ewbank’s salerooms. Clive Lloyd (1920-2004) began his career as an industrial chemist, served in the Royal Navy throughout World War II, and worked as a designer on returning to civilian life. However, his love for the sea never abated; he was a keen sailor and fisherman, and in the 1960s started to collect marine paintings and research the artists who created them. Apart from this he had a successful career as a graphic designer and was an artist and sculptor. He travelled extensively, creating stage sets for major motion picture companies such as the Rank Organisation, and in the late 1970s, he was commissioned to redesign the interiors of a number of top South African hospitals. His early career had led on to him opening the gallery in Surrey for the sale of fine art; he was a recognised expert on his subjects, sending paintings all over the world to museums and private collectors. A highly gifted man, he was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and Annette was a graduate of the Royal College of Art. However, it was whilst browsing in London’s Portobello Road Market, that his focus shifted. He found and bought what he thought was an exquisitely carved, tiny ivory boat. He later found it to be bone, not ivory, and made by a French prisoner of war.

This chance discovery became the first step on a lengthy journey to learn and acquire more examples of prisoner of war work, resulting in the formation of one of the largest private collections of prisoner of war artefacts then in existence. Although most of the collection was sold some years ago; his library, a few Napoleonic prisoner of war items, and an important collection of paintings by Napoleonic prisoner of war Ambroise Louis Garnerary (1783 - 1857) are included in the sale. (One illustrated above) During his 30-year quest to find out more about this neglected field of history, Lloyd wrote two well-respected books on the subject, set against an historical background dating from the Seven Years’ War (1756-63) to Napoleon’s downfall in 1816. They document the arts, crafts and occupations of the prisoners of war in England, France and America from 1756 to 1816, providing the historical background to and detailed examination of a neglected area of warfare. They also illustrate the incredible skills possessed by the makers of these remarkable ‘works of art’. There are eight paintings by Ambroise Louis Garnerary (1783 - 1857) in the sale. Garnerary was a French corsair, painter and writer, who served under Robert Surcouf and Jean-Marie Duterte, and was held prisoner by the British for eight years. He was captured on the French vessel ‘Belle Poule’ in 1806, and not being given the privilege of parole, was sent to the prison hulk ‘Prothee’ in Portsmouth Harbour. From 1812 he was allowed to live ashore in a parole area from which he painted a series of views of prison hulks and shipping in Portsmouth Harbour, before being released in 1814. On returning to France, Garneray had a successful career as a marine artist and became director of the Museum of Fine Arts in Rouen in 1833. There are eight of his paintings in the sale. Relatively few Garnerary paintings are known to exist and this is believed to be the largest single collection in the World of his Napoleonic prisoner of War themed paintings. For the last 40 years or so Lloyd sought out and bought any that he could find and many of them are illustrated in his books. An oil-on-canvas depicting prison hulks lying in Portsmouth Harbour, has a sale estimate of between £3,000 and £5,000. It is large measuring 53cm by 107cm, and has a plaque showing the artist’s name as ‘Hoppey Turner’. This was believed to be the way in which the British officer who dealt with, and made money from, Garneray’s works, kept secret their source, as described in Lloyd’s book ‘A History of Napoleonic and American Prisoners of War 1756-1816 - Hulk, Depot and Parole’. Similar views of Portsmouth Harbour by Garneray can be found in the National Library of Australia, Canberra, and a further three in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London.

An oil-on-canvas by Bernard De Hoog (1866-1943), entitled ‘Maternal Duties’ has been valued at between £1,500 and £2,500. It is signed B. De Hoog, and measures 53cm by 46cm. It depicts a mother spoon-feeding her baby. A small selection of French P.O.W. artefacts is available in the sale, including a rare Napoleonic masonic apron, which belonged to Louis Duchemin, which he wore at the P.O.W. lodge ‘Le Paix Desiree’ at Wincanton. The apron measures 26cm x 38cm, and is illustrated in ‘French Prisoners’ Lodges’ by J. T. Thorp; it comes with a French Prisoner of War Lodge certificate for Louis Duchemin on becoming a Master of ‘Le Paix Desiree’ lodge with red wax seal in metal box, and a marriage certificate dated 4 February 1808, for Louis Duchemin and Elizabeth Clewett whose father was the Wincanton Masons’ printer. This lot is estimated at between £800 and £1,200. Among Lloyd’s collection are a selection of bronzes. One by Antoine-Louis Barye, of a tiger, is estimated at between £1,000 and £1,500. It stands on a rectangular base, is 42cm long and is signed. Another, is a cast bronze figure of a horse with a small dog at its feet, signed and marked P. Barbedienne Fondeur, who was a French metalworker and manufacturer, who was also well-known as a bronze founder. The figure was sculpted by Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810 - 1879), a leading French sculptor and one of the pioneers of animal sculpture in the 19th century. It measures 45cm by 65cm, and has been valued at between £2,500 and £3,500. A 19th century terracotta model of a cockerel in coloured glazes by French sculptor Paul Comolera, for the Choisy-le-Roi faience factory, is 61cm high and carries an estimate of between £800 and £1,200. Many furniture lots are for sale, including a Regency rosewood breakfront bookcase with carved decoration and brass galleried top. It measures 163cm high, 200cm wide, and 38cm deep and has been valued at £1,5002,500, by the team at Ewbank’s. Also in the sale is a 19th century continental light flame mahogany and ebonised collector’s cabinet estimated at £400 to £600. An early 20th century penny in the slot Polyphon, an early disc player, in a walnut-veneered glass-fronted case with discs and open disc compartment below, carries an estimate of between £500 and £800. It stands on bun feet, and measures 145cm x 50cm x 32cm. Clive Lloyd’s research library is also included in the auction. One of the most valuable lots is one featuring 23 volumes of ‘The Naval Chronicle’, by J.S. Clarke and others, published by Bunney & Gold, London in the early 19th century. There are many works relating to French Napoleonic prisoners of War.

Plaque on frame of the picture reading ‘Portsmouth Harbour 1790-1807, painted by Ambroise Louis Garneray French prisoner of war, this view of West End of Portchester Creek, shows the French and Spanish Hulk’s that were used for confining the Prisoners of war’. Guards can be seen on the hulks which are flying Red Ensigns. One hulk appears to be flying a Spanish flag and a small sailing craft on the right hand side is flying the White Ensign. Ambroise Louis Garneray (1783-1857): Born in Paris in 1783, the son of Jean Francoise Garneray (himself a student of Jacques-Louis David). Most of the Garneray family were professional artists, but Ambroise (known as Louis) persuaded his parents to let him go to sea aged thirteen. Taken Prisoner on the French vessel ‘Belle Poule’ in 1806 and not given the privilege of parole he was sent to the prison hulk ‘Prothee’ in Portsmouth Harbour. From 1812 he was allowed to live ashore in a parole area from which he painted a series of views of prison hulks and shipping in Portsmouth Harbour, released in 1814. On returning to France Garneray had a successful career as a marine artist and became director of the Museum of Fine Arts in Rouen in 1833.

Ambroise Louis Garneray (1783-1857): Born in Paris in 1783, the son of Jean Francoise Garneray (himself a student of Jacques-Louis David).

You are responsible for your decision to bid for a particular Lot. If you bid on a Lot, including by telephone and online bidding, or by placing a commission bid, we assume that you have carefully inspected the Lot and satisfied yourself regarding its condition. 3.3 If you instruct us in writing, we may execute commission bids on your behalf. Neither we nor our employees or agents will be responsible for any failure to execute your commission bid, unless our failure to do so is unreasonable. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we have the right to prefer the first bid made (where this can be reasonably ascertained). 3.4 The Bidder placing the highest bid for a Lot accepted by the Auctioneer will be the Buyer at the Hammer Price. Any dispute about a bid will be settled at our discretion. We may reoffer the Lot during the auction or may settle the dispute in another way.

Please see the symbols used in the auction catalogue for that Lot and the “Information for Buyers” in our auction catalogue for further information. 5.2 We will charge VAT at the current rate at the date of the auction. 6 The contract between you and the Seller 6.1 The contract for the purchase of the Lot between you and the Seller will be formed when the hammer falls accepting the highest bid for the Lot at the auction. 6.2 You may directly enforce any terms in the Terms of Consignment against a Seller to the extent that you suffer damages and/or loss as a result of the Seller’s breach of the Terms of Consignment. 6.3 If you breach these Terms of Sale, you may be responsible for damages and/or losses suffered by a Seller or us. If we are contacted by a Seller who wishes to bring a claim against you, we may in our discretion provide the Seller with information or assistance in relation to that claim. 6.4 We normally act as an agent only and will not have any responsibility for default by you or the Seller (unless we are the Seller of the Lot). 7 Payment 7.1 Immediately following your successful bid on a Lot you will: 7.1.1 give to us, if not already provided to our satisfaction, proof of identity in a form acceptable to us (and any other information that we require in order to comply with our anti-money laundering obligations); and 7.1.2 pay to us the Total Amount Due in cash (for which there is an upper limit of 15,000 euros equivalent) or in any other way that we agree to accept payment. 7.2 If you owe us any money, we may use any payment made by you to repay these debts. 8 Title and collection of purchases 8.1 Once you have paid us in full the Total Amount Due for any Lot, ownership of that Lot will transfer to you. You may not claim or collect a Lot until you have paid for it. 8.2 You will (at your own expense) collect any Lots that you have purchased and paid for either: 8.2.1 not later than five business days following the day of the auction; or 8.2.2 not later than five business days following the date that we have received payment of the Total Amount Due in cleared funds, if later. 8.3 If you do not collect the Lot within this time period, you will be responsible for any reasonable removal, storage and insurance charges in relation to that Lot. 8.4 Risk of loss or damage to the Lot will pass to you when you (or your agents) take physical possession of the Lot. 8.5 If you do not collect the Lot that you have paid for within ninety days
49
after the auction, we may sell the Lot. We will pay the proceeds of any such sale to you, but will deduct any storage charges or other sums that we have incurred in the storage and sale of the Lot. We reserve the right to charge you a selling commission at our standard rates on any such resale of the Lot. 9 Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases 9.1 Please do not bid on a Lot if you do not intend to buy it. If your bid is successful, these Terms of Sale will apply to you. This means that you will have to carry out your obligations set out in these Terms of Sale. If you do not comply with these Terms of Sale we may (acting on behalf of the Seller and ourselves) pursue one or more of the following measures: 9.1.1 take action against you for damages for breach of contract; 9.1.2 reverse the sale of the Lot to you and/or any other Lots sold by us to you; 9.1.3 resell the Lot by auction or private treaty (in which case you will have to pay any difference between the price you should have paid for the Lot and the price we sell it for as well as the charges outlined in Clause 8.5). Please note that if we sell the Lot for a higher amount than your winning bid, the extra money will belong to the Seller; 9.1.4 remove, store and insure the Lot at your expense; 9.1.5 if you do not pay us within five business days of your successful bid, we may charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month on the total amount due; 9.1.6 keep that Lot or any other Lot sold to you until you pay the Total Amount Due; 9.1.7 reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or impose conditions before we accept bids from you; and/or 9.1.8 if we sell any Lots for you, use the money made on these Lots to repay any amount you owe us. 9.2 We will act reasonably when exercising our rights under Clause 9.1. We will contact you before exercising these rights and try to work with you to correct any noncompliance by you with these Terms of Sale. 10 Health and safety Although we take reasonable precautions regarding health and safety, you are on our premises at your own risk. Please note the lay-out of the premises and security arrangements. Neither we nor our employees or agents are responsible for the safety of you or your property when you visit our premises, unless you suffer any injury to your person or damage to your property as a result of our, our employees’ or our agents’ negligence. 11 Warranties 11.1 The Seller warrants to us and to you that: 11.1.1 the Seller is the true owner of the Lot for sale or is authorised by the true owner to offer and sell the lot at auction; 11.1.2 the Seller is able to transfer good and marketable title to the Lot to you free from any third party rights or claims; and 11.1.3 as far as the Seller is aware, the main characteristics of the Lot set out in the auction catalogue (as amended by any notice displayed in the saleroom or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction) are correct. 11.2 If, after you have placed a successful bid and paid for a Lot, any of the warranties above are found not to be true, please notify us in writing. Neither we nor the Seller will be liable to pay you any sums over and above the Total Amount Due and we will not be responsible for any inaccuracies in the information provided by the Seller except as set out below. 11.3 Please note that many of the Lots that you may bid on at our auction are secondhand. 11.4 If a Lot is not second-hand and you purchase the Lot as a Consumer from a Seller that is a Trader, a number of additional terms may be implied by law in addition to the Seller’s warranties set out at Clause 11.1 (in particular under the Consumer Rights Act 2015). These Terms of Sale do not seek to exclude your rights under law as they relate to the sale of these Lots. 11.5 Save as expressly set out above, all other warranties, conditions or other terms which might have effect between the Seller and you, or us and you, or be implied or incorporated by statue, common law or otherwise are excluded. 12 Descriptions and condition 12.1 Our descriptions of the Lot will be based on: (i) information provided to us by the Seller of the Lot (for which we are not liable); and (ii) our opinion (although it is likely that we will not be able to carry out a detailed inspection of each Lot). 12.2 We will give you a number of opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot. 12.3 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 will be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. 12.4 Please note that Lots (in particular second-hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition. Lots are sold “as is” (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of second-hand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/ or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed. 13 Deliberate Forgeries 13.1 You may return any Lot which is found to be a Deliberate Forgery to us within one month of the auction provided that you return the Lot to us in the same condition as when it was released to you, accompanied by a written statement identifying the Lot from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. 13.2 If we are reasonably satisfied that the Lot is a Deliberate Forgery we will refund the money paid by you for the Lot (including any Premium and applicable VAT) provided that if:
13.2.1 the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of experts as at the date of the auction; or 13.2.2 you personally are not able to transfer good and marketable title in the Lot to us, you will have no right to a refund under this Clause 13.2. 13.3 If you have sold the Lot to another person, we will only be liable to refund the price that you paid for the Lot. We will not be responsible for repaying any additional money you may have made from selling the Lot. 13.4 Your right to return a Lot that is a Deliberate Forgery does not affect your legal rights and is in addition to any other right or remedy provided by law or by these Terms of Sale. 14 Our liability to you 14.1 We will not be liable for any loss of opportunity or disappointment suffered as a result of participating in our auction. 14.2 In addition to the above, neither we nor the Seller shall be responsible to you and you shall not be responsible to the Seller or us for any other loss or damage that any of us suffer that is not a foreseeable result of any of us not complying with the Conditions of Business. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen or if at the time of the sale of the Lot, we, you and the Seller knew it might happen. 14.3 Subject to Clause 14.4, if we are found to be liable to you for any reason (including, amongst others, if we are found to be negligent, in breach of contract or to have made a misrepresentation), our liability will be limited to the total purchase price paid by you to us for any Lot. 14.4 Notwithstanding the above, nothing in these Terms of Sale shall limit our liability (or that of our employees or agents) for: 14.4.1 death or personal injury resulting from negligence (as defined in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977); 14.4.2 fraudulent misrepresentation; or 14.4.3 any liability which cannot be excluded by law. 15 Notices 15.1 All notices between you and us regarding these Terms of Sale must be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the party giving it. 15.2 Any notice referred in Clause 15.1 may be given: 15.2.1 by delivering it by hand; 15.2.2 by first class pre-paid post or Recorded Delivery; or 15.2.3 by email, provided that a copy is also sent by pre-paid post or Recorded Delivery. 15.3 Notices must be sent: 15.3.1 by hand or registered post: a. to us, at our address set out in these Terms of Sale or at our registered office address appearing on our Website; and b. to you, at the last postal address that you have given to us as your contact address in writing; or 15.3.2 by email: a. to us, by sending the notice to both the following email addresses: antiques@ewbankauctions.co.uk and chris@ewbankauctions.co.uk b. to you, by sending the notice to any email address that you have given to us as your contact email address in writing. 15.4 Notices will be deemed to have been received: 15.4.1 if delivered by hand, on the day of delivery; 15.4.2 if sent by first class pre-paid post or Recorded Delivery, two business days after posting, exclusive of the day of posting; or 15.4.3 if sent by email, at the time of transmission unless sent after 17.00 in the place of receipt in which case they will be deemed to have been received on the next business day in the place of receipt (provided that a copy has also been sent by pre-paid post or Recorded Delivery as set out in Clause 15.2.3). 15.5 Any notice or communication given under these Terms of Sale will not be validly given if sent by fax, email, any form of messaging via social media or text message. 16 Data Protection We will hold and process any personal data in relation to you in accordance with our current privacy policy, a copy of which is available on our website 17 General 17.1 We may, acting reasonably, refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person. 17.2 We act as an agent for our Sellers. The rights we have to claim against you for breach of these Terms of Sale may be used by either us, our employees or agents, or the Seller, its employees or agents, as appropriate. Other than as set out in this Clause, these Terms of Sale are between you and us and no other person will have any rights to enforce any of these Terms of Sale. 17.3 We may use special terms in the catalogue descriptions of particular Lots. You must read these terms carefully along with any glossary provided in our auction catalogues. 17.4 Each of the clauses of these Terms of Sale operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect. 17.5 We may change these Terms of Sale from time to time, without notice to you. Please read these Terms of Sale carefully, as they may be different from the last time you read them. 17.6 Except as otherwise stated in these Terms of Sale, each of our rights and remedies are: (a) are in addition to and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies under these Terms of Sale or general law; and (b) may be waived only in writing and specifically. Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale is not a waiver of that or any other right. Partial exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale will not preclude any further or other exercise of that right or any other right under these Terms of Sale. Waiver of a breach of any term of these Terms of Sale will not operate as a waiver of breach of any other term or any subsequent breach of that term. 17.7 These Terms of Sale and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including any non-contractual claims or disputes) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

CONDITIONS OF BUSINES FOR ONSITE AUCTIONS CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS FOR ONSITE AUCTIONS (November 2015) These conditions of business for auctions held at an auctioneer’s premises (“Conditions”) consist of: (1) Users’ Introduction (which sets out a guide for users of these Conditions); (2) Information for Buyers (which sets out information for buyers who will be subject to the Terms of Sale); (3) Terms of Consignment (which are the contractual terms that sellers at auctions are subject to); and (4) Terms of Sale (which are the contractual terms that bidders and buyers at auctions are subject to). Items (2), (3) and (4) are used together as a package. (1) USERS’ INTRODUCTION 1.1 Modern consumer protection law, whether from the UK or the EU is having a steadily increasing impact on the sale of goods by auction. In particular, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (the “Act”) and the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (the “Regulations”) apply to auction sales held at the auctioneer’s premises. Copies of the Act and the Regulations are available for inspection on request. 1.2 The Act stipulates that contractual terms that apply to consumers must be prominent and transparent (i.e. legible and expressed in plain and intelligible language). In addition, the Act sets out an indicative, non-exhaustive, list of terms which may be regarded as unfair and therefore not binding on a consumer. As a result (and in order to prevent these Conditions becoming unwieldy and unbalanced), these Conditions ask the auctioneer on occasion to accept more risk and responsibility in relation to its business buyers and sellers than it usually would (and indeed than it may legally have to) in order to bring these Conditions in line with the Act. 1.3 The Regulations state that certain information about the seller/auctioneer, the contract and the consumer’s rights must be provided to a consumer prior to concluding any contract for the consignment or sale of goods. However the extent of information to be provided depends on whether the contract itself is deemed to be a distance, off-premises or onpremises contract. These Conditions have been prepared on the assumption that all contracts with sellers and buyers are on-premises contracts (meaning contracts negotiated and concluded at the auctioneer’s premises). The information that the auctioneer is required to provide to consumer sellers and buyers is set out at the start of the Terms of Consignment and Terms of Sale respectively. 1.4 These Conditions have been prepared based on the following assumptions: a. the contracts concluded with the seller for the consignment of the goods and with the buyer for the purchase of the goods are on-premises contracts; b. the auctioneer will take possession of the goods from the seller prior to the auction; c. the auctioneer will prepare the description of the goods appearing in the auction catalogue based on the information provided by the seller and the auctioneer’s own inspection of the goods; d. the buyer will have the opportunity to inspect the goods prior to the auction and will have the opportunity to attend the auction in person; e. the auctioneer will take payment of the goods from the buyer, deduct any commission/ premium, agreed expenses and VAT and pay the remainder to the seller; and f. the auctioneer will keep the goods until they are either collected by the seller (if unsold at the auction) or collected by the buyer following the auctioneer’s receipt of the purchase price from the buyer. 1.5 The auctioneer has two points of interaction with consumers: a. when the auctioneer provides services to the seller; and b. when the auctioneer comes into contact with buyers. (Although not primarily contracting with the auctioneer, who is an agent for the seller, buyers normally contract on standard terms imposed by the auctioneer as agent. Some of these conditions create a direct contract between the buyer and the auctioneer). 1.6 These Conditions are designed to reflect the law and provide reasonable protection for the seller, the auctioneer and the buyer. The authors had in mind general sales of fine art and these Conditions do not deal with specialist sales such as plant and machinery, or agricultural produce. In these areas, statute law tends to lay down extra duties which must be dealt with by specific conditions not appearing here. 1.7 These Model Conditions primarily consist of the “Terms of Consignment” and the “Terms of Sale”. The transactions between seller and auctioneer, and seller and buyer are completely distinct contracts. We have therefore placed considerable importance on using the expression “Terms of Consignment” for sellers and other consignors who consign property for sale at onsite auctions, and “Terms of Sale” for transactions which take place by auction. The term “Conditions of Business” includes both the Terms of Consignment and the Terms of Sale as well any notices displayed in the saleroom and any announcements made by the auctioneer at the auction. 1.8 Individual clauses have been drafted in the light of statutory requirements and case law. 1.9 Buyers and sellers are bound by the auctioneer’s Conditions of Business (2) INFORMATION FOR BUYERS AT AUCTIONS 1. Introduction. The following notes are intended to assist bidders and buyers, particularly those that are inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All of our auctions are governed by our Conditions of Business incorporating the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers), the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices that are
displayed in our salerooms or announced by the auctioneer at the auction. Our Conditions of Business are available for inspection at our salerooms and the Terms of Sale are printed in the back of our auction catalogues and on our web-site. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Conditions of Business that you do not fully understand. Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale set out in this catalogue or on our website carefully before bidding in the auction. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale. 2. Agency. As auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your contract for the goods is with the seller, not with us as auctioneer. 3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale price. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price (the minimum price for which a lot may be sold) and will not be below the reserve price. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the auctioneer before the auction of the lot. They are not definitive. 4. Buyer’s Premium. The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay a buyer’s premium at 22.5% on the hammer price of each lot purchased. In addition, VAT will be added to this premium (see below). 5. VAT. Items in our catalogue may be marked in the following ways: a. (†) indicates that VAT is payable by the buyer on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer’s premium. VAT will be chargeable at the standard rate (presently 20%). 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. b. (**) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union. [These lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the hammer price and buyer’s premium]. c. Lots which do not have either of the above symbols have no VAT payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. The VAT included within the premium is not recoverable as input tax. 6. Inspection of goods by the buyer. As we act on behalf of the seller, we are dependent on information provided by the seller about their goods. We may inspect lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of lots to check their condition in the way a buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the goods. You must inspect and investigate lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clause 12.4. 7. Electrical goods. These are sold as “antiques” only. If you buy electrical goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them. 8. Export of goods. If you intend to export goods you must find out: a. whether an export licence is needed; and b. if there is a prohibition on importing goods of that character e.g. because the goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory. 9. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register with us before the auction starts. We reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value lots this deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You will need to provide us with proof of your identity in a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding. Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion. Phone bidders must be prepared to guarantee a starting bid of at least £500 if they wish to bid by telephone. 10. Commission bidding. You may leave commission bids (absentee bids) with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a lot (excluding the buyers’ premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute commission bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained). Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or email or via our website or online bidding platform. 11. Methods of Payment. Usually any cheques will need to be cleared before you can take the goods away. Please discuss with our office in advance of the sale if you plan to use other methods of payment (except cash, for which there is an upper limit of 15,000 euros equivalent). There is an additional charge of 2.5% plus VAT on credit card payments with no additional charge on debit card payments (either made securely online or in person via a chip and pin machine). 12. Collection and storage. Please note what the Terms of Sale say about collection and storage. It is important that you pay for and collect goods promptly and within 7 days of the end of a sale. Any delay may involve you having to pay storage charges which are currently set at £5 plus VAT per lot per day.

8 Minimum bids and our discretion Goods will normally be offered subject to a Reserve agreed between you and us before the auction in accordance with Clause 9.

If you specifically give us a “discretion” we may accept a bid of up to 20% below the formal Reserve. 9 Reserves 9.1 Reserves must be reasonable and may not exceed our lower pre-sale estimate for that lot. We may decline to offer Goods which, in our opinion, would be subject to an unreasonably high reserve (in which case the Goods carry the storage and insurance charges set out in these Terms of Consignment). 9.2 Once we have agreed a Reserve, this cannot be changed except with your and our consent. 9.3 Where a Reserve has been agreed only we may bid on your behalf and only up to one bid below the Reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances bid personally or ask anyone else to bid on your behalf. 9.4 Pre-sale notifications will be sent via email if provided, or post if not, reserves will not be set by the auctioneer without specific instructions and we must be advised of any request for a reasonable reserve figure by you, in cases were no reserve has been set by you then the item will be sold without reserve. 10 Electrical items 10.1 You must test any electrical items that you wish to consign to us for sale using external contractors.

If you do not collect the Goods within five days of our written notice to do so, we may dispose of the Goods at your expense. 11 Unsafe Goods If in our opinion any of your Goods, in particular those which are soft furnishings, infringe safety regulations, we will not offer these Goods for sale.

beneficially the Premium plus any applicable VAT paid by the Buyer in accordance with our Terms of Sale and any interest earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement. 17 Settlement 17.1 Provided that the Buyer has paid for the Goods, we will usually pay the net sum due to you within twenty eight days of the last day of the auction by crossed cheque to the seller. 17.2 If the Buyer has not paid for the Goods, we will not submit payment to you. In this case no settlement will be made. We will however discuss with you the rights that we may exercise under Clause 9 of our Terms of Sale in relation to a Buyer’s failure to pay. We will not release the Goods to the Buyer until we have received payment in full of the Price for the Goods. 17.3 You must notify us in writing if your bank account details change. We will not be responsible for any payments made to the incorrect bank account if this is because you have not provided us with the correct bank account details. 17.4 If we make payments to your bank account in error, we may request reimbursement by sending you an invoice. 17.5 We may deduct any sums that you owe to us from the Proceeds. 18 Unsold and withdrawn items 18.1 If the Goods are unsold at auction, you authorise us to negotiate a sale by private treaty not later than the close of business two working business days following the last day of the auction. In this case you will pay to us the same charges as if such Goods had been sold at auction and, so far as appropriate, these Terms of Consignment will apply to any such sale. 18.2 In addition to Clause 18.1, we may, with your consent, re-offer unsold Goods at a future auction (or by private treaty thereafter as set out in Clause 18.1 above) but we may recommend a variation in estimates or Reserve. Where, in our opinion, Goods are unsaleable, we will notify you and you must collect such Goods from the saleroom within seven days of the date of our notice to do so. If you fail to collect such Goods promptly, we may charge you reasonable storage charges at a daily rate of £5 per lot per day. If unsold lots remain with us after a period of one week, without instructions from you, we reserve the right to offer them to a local charity shop or arrange for their disposal at a charge of £10 plus VAT per lot. 18.3 You will pay us a charge of 15% of lower estimate for the lot plus all applicable marketting and / or illustration charges plus VAT on all charges, at a minimum of £10 plus VAT per Lot, on any Goods that are unsold at the auction and fail to sell by private treaty as described in Clause 18.1. 18.4 You will pay us a charge of 15 % of the lower estimate for the lot plus all applicable marketting and / or illustration charges plus VAT on all charges, at a minimum of £10 plus VAT per Lot, on any Goods that are withdrawn from the auction after being catalogued and/or marketed by us prior to the auction in any way. 19 Withdrawal of the Goods by us 19.1 We may (acting reasonably) at our discretion at any time withdraw your Goods from our auction: 19.1.1 for legal, reputational or operational reasons (including if you fail to provide evidence to verify your identity or your title to the Goods to our satisfaction); 19.1.2 if we reasonably believe that you may be, or are about to be, in breach of these Terms of Consignment; or 19.1.3 if we reasonably believe the Goods to be a Deliberate Forgery. 20 Warehousing 20.1 We have no liability for Goods that you deliver to our saleroom without sufficient sale instructions. We reserve the right to charge you a minimum warehousing charge of £5 plus any applicable VAT per Lot per day. 20.2 We will notify you to ask you to remove any of your unsold or withdrawn Goods. Unsold and withdrawn Goods will be subject to the charges set out in Clause 20.1 above if you do not remove them within five days of the date of our notification requesting you to do so. 20.3 If you do not remove your unsold or withdrawn Goods within [thirty days] of the date of our notification we may either: (a) sell such Goods and set off charges from any net proceeds of sale; or (b) at your expense dispose of such Goods. 21 Our liability to you 21.1 We will not be liable to you for any loss of opportunity or disappointment suffered as a result of participating in our auction. 21.2 In addition, neither we nor the Buyer shall be responsible to you and you shall not be responsible to the Buyer or us for any other loss or damage that any of us suffer that is not a foreseeable result of any of us not complying with the Conditions of Business. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen or if at the time of the sale of the Lot, we, you and the Seller knew it might happen. 21.3 Subject to Clause 21.4, if we are found to be liable to you for any reason (including, amongst others, if we are found to be negligent, in breach of contract or to have made a misrepresentation), our liability will be limited to the Proceeds due for the Goods if sold or the Reserve if unsold. 21.4 Notwithstanding the above, nothing in these Terms of Consignment limits the liability of us or our employees or agents for: 21.4.1 death or personal injury resulting from negligence (as defined in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977); 21.4.2 fraudulent misrepresentation; or 21.4.3 any liability which cannot be excluded by law. 22 Notices 22.1 All notices between you and us regarding these Terms of Consignment must be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the party giving it. 22.2 Any notice referred in Clause 22.1 may be given: 22.2.1 by delivering it by hand; 22.2.2 by first class pre-paid post or Recorded Delivery; or 22.2.3 by email, provided that a copy is also sent by pre-paid post or Recorded Delivery. 22.3 Notices must be sent: 22.3.1 by hand or registered post: a. to us, at our address set out in these

Partial exercise of any right under these Terms of Consignment will not preclude any further or other exercise of that right or any other right under these Terms of Consignment. Waiver of a breach of any term of these Terms of Consignment will not operate as a waiver of breach of any other term or any subsequent breach of that term. 24.4 These Terms of Consignment are between you and us. No person other than you, the Buyer or us will have any rights to enforce any of these Terms of Consignment. 24.5 These Terms of Consignment and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including any non-contractual claims or disputes) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. (4) TERMS OF SALE Both the sale of goods at our auctions and your relationship with us are governed by the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers) the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices displayed in the saleroom or announced by us at the auction (collectively, the “Conditions of Business”).

The words “we”, “us”, etc. refer to the Auctioneer. Any reference to a ‘Clause’ is to a clause of these Terms of Sale unless stated otherwise. 2 Information that we are required to give to Consumers 2.1 A description of the main characteristics of each Lot as contained in the auction catalogue. 2.2 Our name, address and contact details as set out herein, in our auction catalogues and/or on our Website. 2.3 The price of the Goods and arrangements for payment as described in Clauses 4, 5, 7 and 8. 2.4 The arrangements for collection of the Goods as set out in Clauses 8 and 9. 2.5 Your right to return a Lot and receive a refund if the Lot is a Deliberate Forgery as set out in Clause 13. 2.6 We and Trader Sellers have a legal duty to supply any Lots to you in accordance with these Terms of Sale. 2.7 If you have any complaints, please send them to us directly at the address set out on our Website. 3 Bidding procedures and the Buyer 3.1 You must register your details with us before bidding and provide us with any requested proof of identity and billing information, in a form acceptable to us. You must also satisfy any security arrangements we have in place before entering the auction room to view or bid. 3.2 We strongly recommend that you attend the auction in person. You are responsible for your decision to bid for a particular Lot. If you bid on a Lot, including by telephone and online bidding, or by placing a commission bid, we assume that you have carefully inspected the Lot and satisfied yourself regarding its condition. 3.3 If you instruct us in writing, we may execute commission bids on your behalf. Neither we nor our employees or agents will be responsible for any failure to execute your commission bid, unless our failure to do so is unreasonable. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we have the right to prefer the first bid made (where this can be reasonably ascertained). 3.4 The Bidder placing the highest bid for a Lot accepted by the Auctioneer will be the Buyer at the Hammer Price. Any dispute about a bid will be settled at our discretion. We may reoffer the Lot during the auction or may settle the dispute in another way. We will act reasonably when deciding how to settle the dispute. 3.5 Bidders will be deemed to act as principals, even if the Bidder is acting as an agent for a third party. 3.6 We may bid on Lots on behalf of the Seller up to one bid below the Reserve. 3.7 We may refuse to accept any bid if it is reasonable for us to do so. 3.8 Bidding increments will be at our sole discretion (but will be in line with standard auction practice). 4 The purchase price As Buyer, you will pay: a. the Hammer Price; b. a premium of 22.5% plus VAT of the Hammer Price; c. any artist’s resale right royalty payable on the sale of the Lot; and d. any VAT due. 5 VAT 5.1 You shall be liable for the payment of any VAT applicable on the Hammer Price and premium due for a Lot. Please see the symbols used in the auction catalogue for that Lot and the “Information for Buyers” in our auction catalogue for further information. 5.2 We will charge VAT at the current rate at the date of the auction. 6 The contract between you and the Seller 6.1 The contract for the purchase of the Lot between you and the Seller will be formed when the hammer falls accepting the highest bid for the Lot at the auction. 6.2 You may directly enforce any terms in the Terms of Consignment against a Seller to the extent that you suffer damages and/or loss as a result of the Seller’s breach of the Terms of Consignment. 6.3 If you breach these Terms of Sale, you may be responsible for damages and/or losses suffered by a Seller or us. If we are contacted by a Seller who wishes to bring a claim against you, we may in our discretion provide the Seller with information or assistance in relation to that claim. 6.4 We normally act as an agent only and will not have any responsibility for default by you or the Seller (unless we are the Seller of the Lot). 7 Payment 7.1 Immediately following your successful bid on a Lot you will: 7.1.1 give to us, if not already provided to our satisfaction, proof of identity in a form acceptable to us (and any other information that we require in order to comply with our anti-money laundering obligations); and 7.1.2 pay to us the Total Amount Due in cash (for which there is an upper limit of 15,000 euros equivalent) or in any other way that we agree to accept payment. 7.2 If you owe us any money, we may use any payment made by you to repay these debts. 8 Title and collection of purchases 8.1 Once you have paid us in full the Total Amount Due for any Lot, ownership of that Lot will transfer to you. You may not claim or collect a Lot until you have paid for it. 8.2 You will (at your own expense) collect any Lots that you have purchased and paid for either: 8.2.1 not later than five business days following the day of the auction; or 8.2.2 not later than five business days following the date that we have received payment of the Total Amount Due in cleared funds, if later. 8.3 If you do not collect the Lot within this time period, you will be responsible for any reasonable removal, storage and insurance charges in relation to that Lot. 8.4 Risk of loss or damage to the Lot will pass to you when you (or your agents) take physical possession of the Lot.
8.5 If you do not collect the Lot that you have paid for within ninety days after the auction, we may sell the Lot. We will pay the proceeds of any such sale to you, but will deduct any storage charges or other sums that we have incurred in the storage and sale of the Lot. We reserve the right to charge you a selling commission at our standard rates on any such resale of the Lot. 9 Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases 9.1 Please do not bid on a Lot if you do not intend to buy it. If your bid is successful, these Terms of Sale will apply to you. This means that you will have to carry out your obligations set out in these Terms of Sale. If you do not comply with these Terms of Sale we may (acting on behalf of the Seller and ourselves) pursue one or more of the following measures: 9.1.1 take action against you for damages for breach of contract; 9.1.2 reverse the sale of the Lot to you and/or any other Lots sold by us to you; 9.1.3 resell the Lot by auction or private treaty (in which case you will have to pay any difference between the price you should have paid for the Lot and the price we sell it for as well as the charges outlined in Clause 8.5). Please note that if we sell the Lot for a higher amount than your winning bid, the extra money will belong to the Seller; 9.1.4 remove, store and insure the Lot at your expense; 9.1.5 if you do not pay us within five business days of your successful bid, we may charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month on the total amount due; 9.1.6 keep that Lot or any other Lot sold to you until you pay the Total Amount Due; 9.1.7 reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or impose conditions before we accept bids from you; and/or 9.1.8 if we sell any Lots for you, use the money made on these Lots to repay any amount you owe us. 9.2 We will act reasonably when exercising our rights under Clause 9.1. We will contact you before exercising these rights and try to work with you to correct any noncompliance by you with these Terms of Sale. 10 Health and safety Although we take reasonable precautions regarding health and safety, you are on our premises at your own risk. Please note the lay-out of the premises and security arrangements. Neither we nor our employees or agents are responsible for the safety of you or your property when you visit our premises, unless you suffer any injury to your person or damage to your property as a result of our, our employees’ or our agents’ negligence. 11 Warranties 11.1 The Seller warrants to us and to you that: 11.1.1 the Seller is the true owner of the Lot for sale or is authorised by the true owner to offer and sell the lot at auction; 11.1.2 the Seller is able to transfer good and marketable title to the Lot to you free from any third party rights or claims; and 11.1.3 as far as the Seller is aware, the main characteristics of the Lot set out in the auction catalogue (as amended by any notice displayed in the saleroom or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction) are correct. 11.2 If, after you have placed a successful bid and paid for a Lot, any of the warranties above are found not to be true, please notify us in writing. Neither we nor the Seller will be liable to pay you any sums over and above the Total Amount Due and we will not be responsible for any inaccuracies in the information provided by the Seller except as set out below. 11.3 Please note that many of the Lots that you may bid on at our auction are secondhand. 11.4 If a Lot is not second-hand and you purchase the Lot as a Consumer from a Seller that is a Trader, a number of additional terms may be implied by law in addition to the Seller’s warranties set out at Clause 11.1 (in particular under the Consumer Rights Act 2015). These Terms of Sale do not seek to exclude your rights under law as they relate to the sale of these Lots. 11.5 Save as expressly set out above, all other warranties, conditions or other terms which might have effect between the Seller and you, or us and you, or be implied or incorporated by statue, common law or otherwise are excluded. 12 Descriptions and condition 12.1 Our descriptions of the Lot will be based on: (i) information provided to us by the Seller of the Lot (for which we are not liable); and (ii) our opinion (although it is likely that we will not be able to carry out a detailed inspection of each Lot). 12.2 We will give you a number of opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot. 12.3 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 will be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. 12.4 Please note that Lots (in particular second-hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition. Lots are sold “as is” (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of second-hand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/ or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed. 13 Deliberate Forgeries 13.1 You may return any Lot which is found to be a Deliberate Forgery to us within one month of the auction provided that you return the Lot to us in the same condition as when it was released to you, accompanied by a written statement identifying the Lot from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. 13.2 If we are reasonably satisfied that the Lot is a Deliberate Forgery we will refund the money paid by you for the Lot (including any Premium and applicable VAT) provided that if:
13.2.1 the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of experts as at the date of the auction; or 13.2.2 you personally are not able to transfer good and marketable title in the Lot to us, you will have no right to a refund under this Clause 13.2. 13.3 If you have sold the Lot to another person, we will only be liable to refund the price that you paid for the Lot. We will not be responsible for repaying any additional money you may have made from selling the Lot. 13.4 Your right to return a Lot that is a Deliberate Forgery does not affect your legal rights and is in addition to any other right or remedy provided by law or by these Terms of Sale. 14 Our liability to you 14.1 We will not be liable for any loss of opportunity or disappointment suffered as a result of participating in our auction. 14.2 In addition to the above, neither we nor the Seller shall be responsible to you and you shall not be responsible to the Seller or us for any other loss or damage that any of us suffer that is not a foreseeable result of any of us not complying with the Conditions of Business. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen or if at the time of the sale of the Lot, we, you and the Seller knew it might happen. 14.3 Subject to Clause 14.4, if we are found to be liable to you for any reason (including, amongst others, if we are found to be negligent, in breach of contract or to have made a misrepresentation), our liability will be limited to the total purchase price paid by you to us for any Lot. 14.4 Notwithstanding the above, nothing in these Terms of Sale shall limit our liability (or that of our employees or agents) for: 14.4.1 death or personal injury resulting from negligence (as defined in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977); 14.4.2 fraudulent misrepresentation; or 14.4.3 any liability which cannot be excluded by law. 15 Notices 15.1 All notices between you and us regarding these Terms of Sale must be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the party giving it. 15.2 Any notice referred in Clause 15.1 may be given: 15.2.1 by delivering it by hand; 15.2.2 by first class pre-paid post or Recorded Delivery; or 15.2.3 by email, provided that a copy is also sent by pre-paid post or Recorded Delivery. 15.3 Notices must be sent: 15.3.1 by hand or registered post: a. to us, at our address set out in these Terms of Sale or at our registered office address appearing on our Website; and b. to you, at the last postal address that you have given to us as your contact address in writing; or 15.3.2 by email: a. to us, by sending the notice to both the following email addresses: antiques@ewbankauctions.co.uk and chris@ewbankauctions.co.uk b. to you, by sending the notice to any email address that you have given to us as your contact email address in writing. 15.4 Notices will be deemed to have been received: 15.4.1 if delivered by hand, on the day of delivery; 15.4.2 if sent by first class pre-paid post or Recorded Delivery, two business days after posting, exclusive of the day of posting; or 15.4.3 if sent by email, at the time of transmission unless sent after 17.00 in the place of receipt in which case they will be deemed to have been received on the next business day in the place of receipt (provided that a copy has also been sent by pre-paid post or Recorded Delivery as set out in Clause 15.2.3. 15.5 Any notice or communication given under these Terms of Sale will not be validly given if sent by fax, email, any form of messaging via social media or text message. 16 Data Protection We will hold and process any personal data in relation to you in accordance with our current privacy policy, a copy of which is available on our website 17 General 17.1 We may, acting reasonably, refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person. 17.2 We act as an agent for our Sellers. The rights we have to claim against you for breach of these Terms of Sale may be used by either us, our employees or agents, or the Seller, its employees or agents, as appropriate. Other than as set out in this Clause, these Terms of Sale are between you and us and no other person will have any rights to enforce any of these Terms of Sale. 17.3 We may use special terms in the catalogue descriptions of particular Lots. You must read these terms carefully along with any glossary provided in our auction catalogues. 17.4 Each of the clauses of these Terms of Sale operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect. 17.5 We may change these Terms of Sale from time to time, without notice to you. Please read these Terms of Sale carefully, as they may be different from the last time you read them. 17.6 Except as otherwise stated in these Terms of Sale, each of our rights and remedies are: (a) are in addition to and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies under these Terms of Sale or general law; and (b) may be waived only in writing and specifically. Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale is not a waiver of that or any other right. Partial exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale will not preclude any further or other exercise of that right or any other right under these Terms of Sale. Waiver of a breach of any term of these Terms of Sale will not operate as a waiver of breach of any other term or any subsequent breach of that term. 17.7 These Terms of Sale and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including any non-contractual claims or disputes) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. These conditions of business are based upon recommended terms of sale by SOFAA (http:/www.sofaa.org/)

EWBANK AUCTIONEERS Chris Ewbank founded Ewbank’s in 1990 selling out of the Hog’s Back Hotel and in 1994 we acquired our present salerooms, the Burnt Common Auction Rooms, which are situated just off the A3, under ten minutes away from junction 10 on the M25. It is a very prominent site in an out of town location giving easy access and acres of parking. Woking main line station is 4 miles away with trains to Waterloo (23 minutes). Throughout our time in Guildford, we have had the privilege of advising thousands of clients on the valuation and sale of Antiques and Fine Art and have conducted well in excess of two hundred Antiques and Fine Arts auctions and five hundred monthly Collectors sales. When we started in 1990 we held six auctions a year and we are now expecting to hold more than 50 auctions in the next twelve months. We always seek to maintain the highest standards, adhering to the principles of probity and ethics of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Chris is a Chartered Arts and antiques surveyor), and the Society of Fine Art Auctioneers and Valuers, of which we are Members. Most of our new clients come to us on recommendation, from professional advisers or existing clients. As the costs of selling by auction in Central London have rocketed we have benefitted from the general trend in recent years for more important items to be sold outside the capital. Catalogues are produced and circulated to prospective purchasers by post and E-mail and full details, including digital illustration of all lots for sale are included on the internet. We estimate that we now with four regular photographers on our staff take in excess of 50,000 images per annum. Buyers are attracted from all over the world. We have invested heavily in technology in recent years with both new back office systems and website. This gives a far greater global marketing ability. We see this as being the way forward for the future and it will maximise our ability to achieve the best possible prices for our clients. Since our first auction published on the internet that side of our business has risen markedly so that in the last 12 months we have had 3.5 million pages views on our website up from 2 million in the previous year. Recognising the importance of live internet bidding in today’s market we have for the last twelve months been operating our own live bidding platform Ewbank’s Live and regularly report over 50% of our sales being to on line bidders. With others we have now also set up a new search hub and bidding platform www.theauctionroom.com which saves buyers up to 6% as against other commercial platforms. Ewbank’s has grown from humble beginnings holding six sales a year, to the position that we hold today, with our own Salerooms, bidding platform and some fifty specialist sales a year. Turnover in our first year in 1990 was approximately £250,000 and just one of our quarterly sales now easily exceeds that figure. Building refurbishments works have doubled the size of our floor space in recent years to accommodate the sale volumes. We have for some years now been able to claim that we are Surrey and Hampshire’s premier antique fine art and specialist auctioneers. Chris Ewbank has taken a very active part in the leadership of the profession within the UK. He has been a member of the Fine Arts Advisory Panel of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and Chairman of its Art and Antiques Professional Group. He was also an elected Member of its International Governing Council (the highest decision making body in the Institution) from 2005 to 2013. He joined the Committee of the Society of Fine Art Auctioneers & Valuers in 1994 (he first became a member in 1982), and was Chairman from 2000-2007. He is on the Executive Committee of the British Art Market Federation and was one of the first to join the new City of London Company of Arts Scholars. We look forward to the future technological advances that will continue to enhance the auction experience for our clients and buyers. Chris Ewbank FRICS ASFAV
