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.

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.

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.

Buyers Premium. The Conditions of Sale oblige buyers to pay a buyer’s premium at 25.2% inclusive of VAT on the hammer price of each lot purchased.

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.

Conditions of lots. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Intending buyers have ample opportunity form inspection of goods and 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 specified circumstances lots mis-described because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is a 2 week limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale).

Condition reports. We may be able to assist buyers unable to view by providing a condition report, but these reports are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending buyers are strongly encouraged to view. (Please see our Conditions of Sale). All sizes are approximate.

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.

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

10 Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers’ premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or Email. 11 Methods of Payment. As a general rule any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted. Please discuss with our Office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment are envisaged (except cash). We accept card payments provided that your registered address is the same as the card address. There is a surcharge of 2.5% plus VAT on credit cards but no charge on debit cards. 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 which are currently set at £5 plus VAT per lot per day. 13 Artists’ resale rights. 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 §. The charge will be applied only where the hammer price exceeds 1,000 Euros and will be at a maximum of 4% for full details see www.dacs.org.uk or telephone +44 (0)845 410 3410.

A rare Great Seal of Elizabeth II attached to a document of appointment of Anthony Richard Wagner as Garter Principal King of Arms Sir Anthony Richard Wagner, KCB, KCVO, FSA (6 September 1908 – 5 May 1995) was a longserving Officer of Arms at the College of Arms in London. The seal itself is executed in red wax and features the Queen on horseback, the reverse which cannot be seen is presumed to have the usual portrait of the enthroned Queen holding the orb and sceptre The seal measures approx 6 inches in diameter and is in mint condition. Examples of the Great Seal of the present Monarch, unlike documents signed by the Queen, are rarely offered for sale. Biographical notes Wagner joined the College of Arms as Portcullis Pursuivant of Arms in Ordinary in 1931. He was promoted to Richmond Herald of Arms in Ordinary in 1943 and Garter Principal King of Arms in 1961. In 1978 he retired to the subordinate position of Clarenceux King of Arms. He was a firm believer in the view that appointments to the college were for life. As a herald he enjoyed a very large practice and was able to train up a number of skilled and wellqualified assistants who later became officers of arms. His professional library was enormous, but he was also able to build up an important collection of early heraldic manuscripts from the Clumber and other sales. During World War II he served in the War Office for four years, and then moved to the Ministry of Town and Country Planning, where he rose to be Principal Private Secretary to a series of ministers. Although he contemplated remaining in the Ministry, he returned to the College of Arms in 1946 and took over the extensive practice of Alfred Butler, Windsor Herald.

EWBANK’S SCALE NEW HEIGHTS WITH SALE OF THE MICHAEL COMPTON COLLECTION OF POST-WAR AND CONTEMPORARY ART Six-week series of fine art and antiques auctions raises £1 million for Surrey’s premier auctioneers Ewbank’s, Surrey’s premier fine art and antiques auctioneers, continue to scale new heights. In a series of sales over the last six weeks, the firm raised £1 million for sellers, more than half of it last week alone. The milestone was reached as Chris Ewbank celebrates the 20th anniversary of his launching the Burnt Common saleroom at Send, culminating with the evening auction of The Michael Compton Collection of Post-War and Contemporary Art. The saleroom’s telephones and Internet links hummed with strong competitive bidding, often beating commission bids, which saw the sale total soar to £284,000, for the 28 lots offered. The sale had been expected to raise around £180,000. The unsold percentage was minute as only one lot failed to sell: two wine bottles, one signed by Henry Moore, which had been estimated at £600-1,000. The collection comprised works by luminaries Marcel Broodthaers, Roy Lichtenstein, Terry Frost, Henry Moore, Richard Long, Victor Newsome, Keith Milow, Billy Al Bengston, Ian Stephenson, Sol LeWitt and Joe Tilson, most of them gifted to Compton, a former curator of Tate Gallery, by the artists or their families in gratitude for the exhibitions Compton created on the artists’ behalf.

The most sought after among the collection was also the most surreal image in the sale: ‘Poêle De Moules’, literally stove of mussels, by Marcel Broodthaers (1924-1976) the Belgian artist’s witty nod to his homeland’s national dish. It sold to a buyer in Paris for an above estimate £65,000. Compton curated the first retrospective of Broodthaers’ work in 1980 at Tate Gallery. He went on to curate the 1989 Broodthaers exhibition at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis which also travelled to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh. Poêle De Moules was one of 10 lots in the sale gifted to Compton by Broodthaers’ widow, Maria, at the time he was working with her on a proposed catalogueraisonné of her husband’s work. This involved regular visits to Brussels in the 1980s and ‘90s to do research. Sharing the same provenance as the mussels was ‘Un Chateaubriand bien saignant pour deux 1973’ (A rare Chateaubriand for two). Stencilled on the unprimed reverse of the canvas, it sold to a London buyer for £58,000, also above estimate, while ‘Palette’, done in coloured pencils on a prepared canvas board in 19734, sold to another London buyer for £29,000 against an estimate of £15,000-25,000. A particularly strong performer was a group of 12 ABC children’s play bricks stencilled in black in a Dr. Pusscat on the Mouse box. It tripled its presale high estimate to sell to the buyer of Palette for £18,000. 123

A pair of green glass wine bottles with printed labels ‘Pluie’ and ‘Mer du Nord’ (‘Rain’ and ‘Sea of The North’) by Broodthaers went to a Paris gallery for £9,000 against an estimate of £4,000-6,000. Marcel Broodthaers (1924-1976) spent 20 years in poverty as a struggling poet before turning to art and began to make objects in 1963, becoming closely associated with the Belgian Groupe Surréalisterevolutionnaire. Writer, poet, filmmaker, photographer, journalist and artist, he famously remarked he would rather have put off the choice of profession until his death. Another coveted piece in the collection was a small Lichtenstein bronze, ‘Yellow Brushstroke’, which had been presented to Compton in 1991 by the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation. The award was in recognition of his work as curator of the 1989 Broodthaers exhibition in Minneapolis. Number 11 of 19 from an initial lifetime casting, the bronze sold to a buyer in California for £46,000. The most valuable contribution to the sale by a British artist was an unfinished and untitled oil and collage abstract by Sir Terry Frost (1915-2003) done in 195456, which sold for £18,000. The work was begun when Frost was a Gregory Fellow at Leeds University and given to Compton who at the time was assistant to the director at Leeds Art Gallery. Frost told Compton the motifs had been inspired by a visit to Malham Tarn in the Yorkshire Dales. He had already produced a smaller sketch, also painted on hardboard, which Mr and Mrs Compton owned, so he presented them with this version saying, “I don’t know how to finish this so I’d like you to have it”. American artists Billy Al Bengston (b. 1934) and Sol Lewitt (1928-2007) were represented respectively by ‘J.W.S. 6’, dated 1967, a work in polyester resin on aluminium decorated with a central double-chevron motif, which sold to a New York buyer for £7,800 and a 1971 work comprising a framed length of paper folded into squares, which sold for £7,500, against an estimate of £1,500-2,500. The latter was purchased by a London buyer. Michael Compton (1927-2013) was born in Minehead, Somerset, while his parents were on leave from India where he spent his early childhood. Educated in England and South Africa, he studied naval architecture before turning to art history, graduating from the Courtauld Institute in 1952.

From 1953 Compton worked in public museums, beginning at Leeds Art Gallery (1953-57) where he catalogued the watercolour collection at Temple Newsam House, followed by the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, where he was Keeper of Foreign Art. In 1960, he was appointed Director of the Ferens Art Gallery in Hull for which he acquired the first David Hockney to enter a museum. He joined the Tate Gallery as Assistant Keeper of the Modern Collection in 1965 and worked there until his retirement in 1987. Early in 1968, a Churchill Travelling Fellowship gave him three months in the U.S. to explore contemporary American art, instigating contemporary exhibitions, beginning with the Roy Lichtenstein show of 1968. In 1971, he curated the Andy Warhol and Robert Morris exhibitions, the former a great success, the latter a disaster, although it was re-staged in 2009 to great acclaim. In the 1970s, Compton planned an extension to the Tate Gallery (today Tate Britain) to provide special space for exhibitions, which opened in 1979. Additionally, he was invited to join British Council and Arts Council committees and became involved with exhibitions at the Hayward Gallery in London and British Council exhibitions overseas. He also represented Britain on the International Committee of Modern Art Museums (CIMAM). By the time he retired in 1987 he was the most “international” curator in London, connecting his up-to-date knowledge of British art to first-hand experience of contemporary art in Europe and the United States. In recognition of this he was created C.B.E. He died last year, leaving a widow, who lives in Surrey, and two daughters. Exceptional prices were also paid for antique and pre-owned jewellery in a sale at Ewbank’s, Surrey’s premier auctioneer of fine art and antiques, exceeding expectations and echoing the success of previous sales this year.

“To say the market is buoyant is an understatement,” principal Chris Ewbank said. “Increasing economic confidence is clearly showing in the saleroom with active bidding evident from both private and trade buyers at all price levels.” Jewellery specialist Andrea Machen said the most valuable lot in the sale was illustrative of the current demand for good Victorian and Edwardian jewellery, particularly pearls. An early 20th century necklace, it comprised a single row of pearls with diamond clasp and 19 graduating diamond drops, each terminating in an oval pearl, all set in silver and gold, which sold for £9,800, a multiple of its presale estimate. It had been sent for sale by a Hampshire vendor whose grandfather was the renowned Berlin and London art dealer Francis Matthiesen and was purchased by a South coast buyer who beat off strong competition from a telephone bidder in New York. Andrea Machen commented that such pieces not only depicted the design movements of their era but the pearls were of a quality very rarely found in modern cultured pearls. Elsewhere in the sale, buyers responded with similarly enthusiastic bidding for a good collection of jewellery fresh to the market and consigned by private individuals. The other contender for top honours in this category of the two-day Summer sale of fine art and antiques was among a number of other fine pieces consigned by the Hampshire vendor. A sumptuous Belle Epoch sapphire and diamond ring, it doubled its presale estimate to sell to a London buyer for £6,400, while an Austro-Hungarian silver gilt and enamel choker surprised everyone when it sold to the same South coast buyer for £5,600. From the same vendor, a pretty, late Victorian seed pearl and peridot pendant necklace, the floral design pendant detachable to be worn separately doubled its estimate to sell to a local private buyer for £1,750. A Surrey lady was rewarded with a bid of £3,800 from a London buyer for her heart-shaped amethyst and diamond cluster pendant, a price well above expectation. The 12 carat stone was surrounded by old-cut diamonds weighing approximately 2.8 carats, while a local dealer paid £3,200 for a fancy yellow diamond-set ring, the central cushion-shaped stone surrounded by old and single cut diamonds in a bark effect gold mount, which dated from the Seventies. Another London buyer secured a two stone old-cut

diamond crossover style ring from a deceased estate, the 1.97 carat diamonds set in platinum for £2,500. Other local sellers consigned an elegant Belle Epoch diamond pendant brooch comprising 3.5 carats of old-cut diamonds set in 18 carat white gold, which exceeded its estimate to sell for £1,700 and an Art Deco diamond plaque ring, the 2.4 carats of diamond set in platinum, formerly in the collection of actress Ann Castle (The Shooting Party) wife of director Alan Bridges, which sold for £1,600. A somewhat smaller silver section of the sale was indicative of a situation in which demand for fine quality antique pieces exceeds supply. Most valuable lot was a matched service of 20th century King’s pattern cutlery by various makers and with different dates, which weighed a total of 108 ounces. It sold on estimate for £1,150 to a trade buyer, as did a modern four-piece tea and coffee service with gadrooned and scrolling decoration (Sheffield 1972, 65 ounces) which sold for £1,100. A sterling silver proof edition cased set of ingots marking 1,000 years of the British Monarchy and weighing 105 ounces, complete with explanatory book and certificate of authenticity, sold for an above top estimate £1,050, while the most valuable piece of antique silver was a 12-inch William IV serpentineshaped entrée dish by Benjamin Smith III, assayed (tested) in London in 1830 and weighing 65 ounces, It sold to a German buyer for £1,000.

Mary Fedden painting sells for £6,000 in Summer sale Arthur Curwen “John” Hazel was an astute businessman. He was instrumental in persuading the Michigan-based DIY store Wickes to come to the UK and he authored or co-authored a number of books about building and managing profitable companies. But he knew nothing about gardening, calling every plant a nasturtium. Sometime after his death 27 years ago, his wife saw a painting titled “Nasturtiums” in a gallery in Stow on the Wold and purchased it as a reminder of her husband and his eccentricity. When she died 10 years ago, she left the painting – by Mary Fedden, one of this country’s best known and most sought-after painters – to her cook-housekeeper.

Lundhal was born in Antwerp and studied at the Royal Academy of Arts there. Her father was a dealer in antiques and fine art and she is a descendant of the well-known Finnish artist Amelie Lundahl. Senaka Senanayake, born in Sri Lankan in 1951, was a child prodigy who staged his first international oneman exhibition in New York at the age of 10. After studying art and architecture at Yale, he returned to Sri Lanka, where he continues to work to critical acclaim. He was represented in this sale by a typically lush Sri Lankan forest scene showing four female bathers, an oil on canvas signed and dated 1991. It was sent for sale from a Surrey home and was purchased by a collector living in the Channel Isles for £3,600. Engraved prints stole the limelight among other pictures, led by a work by the great French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901), one of best known painters of the Post-Impressionist period. Depicting a young woman carrying a basket under her arm crossing a street populated by horse-drawn cabs, the sepia-coloured print was purchased by a private collector for £2,000. It had been consigned for sale by the family of the renowned dealer, Francis Matthiesen.

It was a gift that kept on giving. The star lot in a sale of Modern British and Contemporary Art at Ewbank’s, Surrey’s premier auctioneer of fine art and antiques, it sold to a private Surrey buyer for £6,000. Overshadowed by her husband, Julian Trevelyan, the English surrealist, recognition for Mary Fedden (19152012) came later in her life. She was elected to the Royal Academy in 1992 and today, her unique still lifes remain fresh and highly collectable. Another serene still life, “Blueberries and Vessels on Blue Clothed Ledge”, was by Nadine Lundahl (b.1958), a work purchased in 2005 from the leading London gallery, Messum’s. One of a number of works in the sale from a private home in Berkshire which were acquired directly from the artists’ dealers, the signed oil on board sold to a Kent buyer for £2,200.

Mr Matthiesen opened his London gallery after fleeing from Berlin to Switzerland. The gallery showed both major old masters and the work of Impressionist and 20th century masters. He was also instrumental in brokering the celebrated sale of priceless masterpieces from The Hermitage. Antique topographical prints are always popular, as shown by the performance of a set of eight 18th century views of “Eight of the most extraordinary Prospects in the Mountainous Parts of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, commonly called the Peak and the Moorlands”. They sold to a London print seller for £1,700, more than three times their presale estimate. Taken from the originals by Thomas Smith of Derby and engraved by Granville, the unframed, numbered prints each measured 19 by 25 inches and showed views of the natural wonders to be found around Buxton, Castleton, Matlock Bath and Dovedale. Leading the 19th century art was a beautiful view of the Rialto Bridge, by Antoine Bouvard (1870-

– today’s P & O – containing correspondence written during the late 19th and early 20th century. It was purchased by the London print dealer who purchased the topographical engravings who paid £3,000, a multiple of the presale estimate to secure these fascinating historical documents. Similarly, a bidder in Ohio was keen to see an early 19th century brass adjustable microscope by London maker W & S Jones cross the Atlantic, bidding £1,200, again a multiple of the estimate to purchase the instrument. 1956) an artist renowned for his Venetian scenes. Consigned from a Farnham home, the oil on canvas was purchased by a Shrewsbury gallery for £2,200, double its estimate, while an oil on canvas by Birmingham artist Jonathan Pratt (1835-1911) titled “The Postman”, signed and dated ‘J. Pratt 1876’ sold for £1,300. There are always exciting and valuable objects to be discovered in Ewbank’s sales, with often surprising results for their owners. A case in point was in store for the Surrey owner of a set of six ledgers from the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company

Most valuable lot in the ceramics section of the sale was a Royal Worcester vase with pierced base painted with sheep in a Highland landscape by Harry Davies, which dated from about 1925. It sold to a private local collector for £1,800. In clocks, an early 19th century mahogany wall clock with fusée movement by Jefferson & Kessels of Bruton Street, London, went to a private collector for £1,400.

UNIQUE RUDYARD KIPLING ARCHIVE SELLS FOR £38,000 IN EWBANK’S AUCTION Buyers on both sides of Atlantic secure rare letters, jewellery and personal items A unique family archive of Rudyard Kipling letters, photographs and personal items, some of them belonging to the author’s troubled ‘forgotten sister’ Alice, or ‘Trix’ as she was known affectionately, sold for a total of £38,000 in a sale conducted by Ewbank’s, Surrey’s premier auctioneer of fine art and antiques. The collection had been estimated to raise around £20,000.

in 1883 and Kipling spent his annual leave there each year from 1885 to 1888, while the town figured prominently in many of the stories he wrote for the Gazette. On lined paper with margins the poem reads: As one who throws earth’s gold away in scorn, Holding Tomorrow shall refill his purse, So he who spurns his brain’s light offspring, born In prose or verse. Behold the night is certain when our hand Shall fail from labour and our eye from sight. – Thrice mad who has no treasure at command Against that night. Wherefore, while each new day brings some new thought And life’s chain sparkles, golden link by link Write quickly: good or evil, all is fraught More deeply than you think.

Buyers in the sale, which prompted worldwide interest, included a UK educational institution, and scholars and collectors on both sides of the Atlantic. The collection of around 90 lots much of it previously unseen, had been inherited by Helen MacDonald, Rudyard Kipling’s first cousin once removed and great niece of his mother, Alice MacDonald, about whom a future Viceroy of India would say “Dullness and Mrs. Kipling cannot exist in the same room”. From Helen MacDonald, the archive passed by gift to the present vendor. Alice married Kipling’s father John Lockwood Kipling and moved to India in 1865. Her three sisters married respectively the artists Edward Burne-Jones and Edward Poynter and Alfred Baldwin, father of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin. The most valuable lot in the collection proved to be an autograph poem, signed and dated ‘Rudyard Kipling Simla 1885’, which overturned its estimate to sell to a California collector for £3,700. The hill station Simla (now known as Shimla) was the summer capital of British India. He and Trix were born in India and returned there after being educated in England, he finding work writing for the Civil and Military Gazette, a newspaper in Lahore. He visited Simla for the first time 128

An autograph poem by Kipling titled ‘In the microscopical Hinterland of a cramped sub-continent’, four handwritten verses on two sides of paper, was the most valuable of nine lots purchased by the UK educational institution. It reads in part: In the microscopical Hinterland of a cramped subcontinent – On a farm no larger than Rutlandshire his limited youth was spent, Till he rode three days to the nearest rail and sailed from his natal coast Of purpose to sample the Outdoor :Life which only the English boast. The same institutional buyer paid £1,000 for an autograph letter from Kipling to Trix dated December 15 1935 on four sides of headed paper from Bateman’s in Burwash, Sussex, the Jacobean house where Kipling and his wife, Carrie, lived from 1902, now belonging to the National Trust. Kipling used the house and its setting for many of his stories in Puck of Pook’s Hill (1906) and the sequel Rewards and Fairies (1910). Addressed: “Ho! daughter of my mother”, the letter reads: “Im busy clearing up odds and ends as behoves one whose 70th birthday is upon him!. I accept it but I can only say

A panel hand-painted by Lockwood Kipling depicting a vase of flowers and birds among scrolling foliage was purchased by a major London picture dealer for £1,200. Mentioned in the biography ‘Trix, Kipling’s Forgotten Sister’ by Lorna Lee, it is described as “The decorative panel (varnished paper) by Lockwood which Trix used as a firescreen. Trix always wanted this and it was collected from ‘The Gables’ at Tisbury by Jack Fleming (Trix’s husband ) after Lockwood’s death.” It passed to Helen MacDonald when Trix died in 1948. A handwritten letter and illustrated with cartoons by Trix’s aunt, Georgiana Macdonald and her husband, the artist Edward Burne-Jones to Georgiana’s brother Frederick, was the most valuable lot not directly related to Rudyard Kipling. It sold to a Sussex collector for £2,000.

that I dont feel in the least like it, nor do I like it in the least.” In a report on an exhibition at The Elms, Rottingdean, Kipling’s seaside home near Brighton from 1897-1902, The Kipling Society’s Journal of 1951 refers to “the intriguing – and somewhat eerie Max Desmarets” whose Valentine written by Kipling on February 14, 1884 was exhibited. The journal notes the Valentine was written while Kipling was in India in tiny hand-writing on a small folded gilt-edged card illustrated by him in red ink and opening with the couplet: “How shall a ghost from Père la Chaise Greeting send to a vanquished love?” “... The archive included what is believed to be the actual Valentine, which sold to a New York collector for £2,000. Interestingly, an edition of the Allahabad Pioneer (for which Kipling was later to work) dated January 2 1884, states that Kipling took the part of M. Desmarets in an amateur performance of “Plot and Panion” at the Railway Theatre in Lahore.

Addressed to ‘My Dear Bobby’, on eight sides of paper, signed Georgie & Edward, the letter was written probably in about 1856, not long after Georgiana and Burne-Jones met. She would have been about 16 at the time and Burne-Jones about 22. They became betrothed after only three weeks and married four years later in 1860. Parts of the letter were illustrated in Ina Taylor’s book “Victorian Sisters:The Remarkable Macdonald Women and the Great Men They Inspired”. Jewellery in the archive may have either belonged to Trix or was bequeathed to her, but this could not be confirmed. A Victorian diamond ring of three stones, the principal stone weighing in excess of one carat will stay in the area having been purchased for £2,500, but a fivestone diamond ring in a raised setting with a similar total weight will be heading Stateside, its New York purchaser paying £1,500.

The New York collector was highly active in the sale, spending a total of £8,200. His other most significant purchases included the menu celebrating Kipling’s 25th birthday on December 30 1890, decorated and handwritten by his father, John Lockwood Kipling, himself an accomplished artist, illustrating many of his son’s books. The menu depicted Kipling and other figures and was signed with his father’s initials JLK, while the reverse bears Rudyard Kipling’s own ink design. It sold for £2,200.

SELLERS IN CROWDED EWBANK’S AUCTION Participants in the BBC TV hit antiques programmes Flog It! found themselves in the money when the cameras rolled and bidding opened on their possessions in a packed saleroom at Ewbank’s, Surrey’s premier auctioneers of fine art and antiques. Celebrity presenter Paul Martin and his team of experts and amateur treasure hunters were filming the antiques and works of art discovered when Flog It! staged a valuation day last month at Chiddingstone Castle in Kent. Happiest in the room was a Maidstone, Kent, lady who decided to sell her landscape painting with a church and river by the French artist Edmund Marie Petitjean, (1844-1925). The oil on canvas, still in its original floral decorated gilt frame, sold to a Surrey buyer for a midestimate £2,200. Petitjean, described as a ‘Master of Impressionism’, is best known for his depictions of the countryside and villages of Lorraine and Vendée.

given to their face jugs, spoon warmers and most famously their crow-like bird tobacco jars which sell for many thousands. The jug was incised “Martin Brothers 9-1891, London” and sold for an above estimate £360. Another Flog It! entry was a flintlock pistol with an engraved lockplate for ‘B‘Boulboul & Middlebourg, Cornhilll London’, a silver grip guard and grotesque mask grip cap. It came from a Kent home and was secured by an Oxfordshire dealer for £550, more than double its presale estimate. The four editions of Flog It! featuring Ewbank’s sale of objects found at the Chiddingstone valuation day will be transmitted within a year of recording.

Most surprised was another Kent resident who took along his extensive collection of more than 800 humorous, greeting and topographical picture postcards contained in three albums, which had been estimated by the Flog It! experts at £200-300. It sold to a buyer from the same county for £1,100. A continental silver game bird table ornament, probably German and dating from the 19th century, had import marks for 1893 and was taken to the valuation day by a Sussex lady who hoped it would sell for £300-500, In the event it was secured in the Ewbank’s sale for £700, the buyer coming from Hertfordshire. Pick of collectable English ceramics in the sale was also a Flog It! find. A stoneware jug, the front of which was embossed with guardian angels flanking a shield, was made by the famed studio potters, the Martin Brothers. They are best known for their “grotesques” – the name 130

From other vendors and leading the collectors’ items section of the sale was a local man’s collection of English coins, which was divided into various lots for convenience. Most valuable was a group of silver and bronze coins of differing denominations dating from the reigns of George III to George V, also including a number of Victorian silver crowns. They sold to a South Coast collector for £750, while a collection of banknotes, and coins, mostly Victorian pennies went to another South Coast collector for £520. In jewellery, a one-carat princess-cut diamond solitaire ring set in 18 carat white and yellow gold sold to a Surrey buyer for £800. Pick of the furniture was a 19th century French cherry wood refectory dining table with single offset drawer, which sold for £650 and in pictures, an oil on canvas of exotic plants in a conservatory interior by the Provencal artist Joseph Bayol (b. 1931) which sold for £520. The latter was purchased by the buyer of the Petitjean landscape.

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. The liability to reimburse the sale proceeds shall not arise where you are acting reasonably and honestly and are unaware of the forgery but we are or ought to have been aware of it. 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 10 % plus VAT on being bought in or withdrawn after being catalogued. Minimum charge £10. 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. 15. 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 on the day of the 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. 16. 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 £5 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. 17. Settlement. After sale settlement of the net sum due to you normally takes place 21 days after 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 21 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.

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.

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

18. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail or Swiftmail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting.

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) 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.

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.
