*Formerly owned by Jack Toogood, a renowned Bristol based jazz guitarist, working with the BBC and hosting his own radio programme. He was well known on the touring circuit and was one of the go-to teachers in the Bristol area. This guitar has unusual non-standard features having fourteen frets to the neck as well as the oval sound hole, two features that are rarely seen together. Although not confirmed, it has been surmised in the past by experts such as George Gruhn that these were either renecked to allow the player better range, or were custom ordered from the factory. Interestingly, Jack Toogood had lessons from Horace Craddy. A photograph of Craddy that first appeared in a British music magazine in June 1946 shows him holding a guitar with these exact features. It is possible that this could be the same guitar £2000-3000

*This is an early pre-production Nick Lucas Special acoustic guitar manufactured in April of 1927. It is not known the exact date of when Nick Lucas received his original custom Gibson guitar but it is thought likely that it was ordered during a factory tour of June 1925. Lucas later stated that he took delivery of the original guitar in 1925. The regular production version of the Nick Lucas Special debuted three years later in March 1928 and was in constant production until 1937. There are many guitars that predate the production model that have Nick Lucas type features with factory order numbers dating to April and July of 1927. An explanation for these pre-production examples is that Nick Lucas was in the habit of gifting guitars. Another possibility is that due to Lucas' popularity, he created an organic demand for guitars like his Gibson Special. In either case, it has been known for some time that Gibson made multiple copies of the original Nick Lucas guitar in 1926 and 1927 £6000-8000

The assembly did not consist of much more than attaching the neck to the body, however because of the that and the Japanese origin, Martin was forced to stop using the Made in USA stamp on the inside. These guitars were made in limited numbers.

1938 C.F. Martin D-28 acoustic guitar, made in USA, formerly owned by Bob McNett (Hank Williams and the Drifting Cowboys), ser. no. 69676; Back and sides: Brazilian rosewood, cleated hairline repairs, refinished; Top: replacement spruce top with herringbone banding; Neck: mahogany, reset and refinished; Fretboard: replacement ebony board; Frets: good; Hardware: good, replacement bridge. Case: 1980s Martin hard case; Overall condition: good
*Formerly owned by Bob McNett, guitarist of choice for Hank Williams' backing band 'The Drifting Cowboys'
Purchased by the vendor on the 16th February 1989 from Keith Sellers, founder of Hanks Guitars, Denmark Street London. Keith had previously purchased the guitar from Curtis McPeake, one-time banjoist for Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys. An email exchange between the vendor and Curtis confirms that he remembers selling a guitar for Bob McNett and although he cannot remember the exact details, suggests that it must have been this one.
A 1989 Melody Maker advert shows a listing for a Martin D28 '1938 Ex Hank Williams' band', for the sum of £2250. This caught the vendor's eye and with the help of a loan looked affordable, especially considering a D28 of this vintage, in top condition would have cost around £8000 at the time, which would have been unobtainable. The vendor quickly headed to London by train to visit Keith Sellers at the back of a ladies fashion shop run by his daughter on Tottenham Court Road, where he was allowed plenty of time to sit and try out a rather beaten up but original D28. Major issues were obvious with repairs that were not to a professional standard, including a non-original bridge, many cracks to the top, heavy spruce plates glued underneath to support the top, along with cracks to the back and sides. Despite this, at the end of the viewing, the vendor thought that he was never ever again going to have the chance to buy a D28 of this era at this price, so he left a deposit on 11th February 1989, returning to pay the full balance on 16th February. Later that year, the vendor bought a 1970s Martin case from Andy's Guitars on Denmark Street, London, which the guitar now sits in. The original Melody Maker advert, along with the receipts for both the guitar and case, are included in the sale.
The guitar came with a handwritten letter from Bob McNett responding to a question as to whether Hank Williams ever played this guitar. The letter states that he could not remember seeing Hank play it 'however he could have, and it's entirely possible he did... on stage shows with Hank, I played a Gibson electric, and Hank had his own Martin, so if Hank played this guitar it would have been offstage'. This provenance resulted in the vendor carrying out extensive research relating to the history of this guitar, especially with its links to Bob McNett and Hank Williams. To his delight, he found Bob's nephew Tim on the internet, who is a member of the McNett family band and recalled that Bob had once owned a 1938 D28. Later, he found a photograph for sale of Bob holding the guitar with the McClintock Sisters, which showed the D28 with a split in the lower bass side of the top, in exactly the same position as this very guitar.
Conclusive proof that this guitar was Bob's came when the vendor contacted renowned historian Dick Boak of Martin Guitars with a query about a modern Custom Shop D28 that he owned. In passing, the vendor mentioned the old guitar which immediately interested Dick. Investigating the Martin company records he found a Martin repair document showing job number 8542, 17th October 1984, with serial number 69676 and the owner's name being Bob McNett. A scan of this ledger is included in the sale. Dick also informed the vendor that this guitar's serial number was stamped on the 8th March 1938 and cleared for final inspection on the 17th August the same year.
As time went on, the vendor found the playability of the guitar started to become an issue. He had to make a decision as to whether he would sell the guitar or get it repaired. On the basis that the guitar had already had many repairs, some not so good, he decided on the latter. Two first class luthiers carried out the extensive work that was needed. Well known UK guitar builder and official Martin repairer Dave King examined the guitar and concluded that a replacement top would be the best way to go. All the body cracks could be dealt with properly on removal of the old top. His workmanship on the new top is impeccable and tonally matches. The cracks in the back and ribs are neatly repaired using carefully shaped small rosewood cleats and the hide glue which had at some time been liberally pasted over the inside has also been removed, resulting in a much improved look. A friend of the vendor, expert luthier and professional guitarist Steven Hicks reset the neck, mindful of the vendors requirement for a low action and light gauge strings. He also refinished the guitar body and neck using nitrocellulose lacquer. The face of the head was left alone in order to leave the original Martin Company decal untouched. As much as possible of the guitar from the time the vendor purchased it has been refitted, including the original tuners, and the non factory pickguard. The bridge pins and saddle have also been reused. The binding to the body top is new as is the herringbone trim. The original binding to the back has been left in place as there was no need to remove it. The original damaged top of the guitar was sent to Dick Boak for the Martin Company to keep in their archives. Emails between Dick and the vendor, along with a receipt from Dave King Acoustics, are included in the sale.
Two insurance appraisals are included with the instrument. The first dated 29th November 2008 by Mandolin Brothers, along with another from George Gruhn dated 18th February 2020.
In summary, documentation sold with this guitar includes: the original cutting from Melody Maker magazine advertising this guitar for sale, along with receipts relating to the sale; a handwritten letter from Bob McNett; an email exchange between the vendor and Curtis McPeake, who sold the guitar to Keith Sellers on behalf of Bob McNett; an email between the vendor and Tim McNett (Bob's nephew), discussing the guitar, along with a photograph showing Bob with the D28; a Dave King Acoustics receipt for the replacement top and fretboard; correspondence between Dick Boak and the vendor discussing the guitar including a scan from the Martin repair ledgers listing the guitar and matching serial number against Bob's name; various photographs of the guitar as it came from Keith before any restoration took place including photographs of the original top that was later sent to Dick Boak for the Martin company archives; an insurance appraisal from Mandolin Brothers dated 29th November 2008; an insurance valuation from Gruhn Guitars dated 18th February 2020; a copy of 'Acoustic Guitarist' that features an article on Hank's at its Tottenham Court Road address; an autumn 2023 issue number 103 copy of British Bluegrass News where the guitar and its story features on page 18; a vinyl record of Hank Williams and The Drifting Cowboys, the album cover showing Bob McNett alongside Hank Williams - the latter holding his iconic 1941 Martin D28.
Pre-war Martin Dreadnoughts are some of the most sought-after and valuable acoustics on the vintage market, commanding six figure (US) sums when in good original condition.
Hank Williams was an American singersongwriter. He is regarded as one of the most significant and influential American singers and songwriters of the 20th century. His iconic 1941 Martin D-28 now resides in the collection of Neil Young.

1970s John Veleno electric guitar, made in USA; Body: gold plated billet aluminium body, plating flaking off and corrosion/tarnishing in exposed areas; Neck: plated, plate wear and pitting; Fretboard: wear to gold plate and some dings/pitting; Electrics: working, later DiMarzio pickups and wiring; Hardware: replacement Hex body screws, replacement bridge, replacement control knobs, replacement pickup surrounds, missing two screws to neck pickup surround; Weight: 3.85kg; Overall condition: fair
*Sold with a selection of worn and damaged parts to include two 70s DiMarzio humbucker pickups, original bridge, potentiometers, knobs, switches and various screws.
This guitar was discovered by the vendor in a UK antiques market, dismantled and in extremely tired condition with much of the exposed aluminium suffering corrosion. The vendor rebuilt the guitar using some later fittings, taking advice from son of John, Chris Veleno, with regards to the electrical wiring.
It is thought by some that this guitar may have previously belonged to Pete Haycock of The Climax Blues Band, however there is little evidence to support this.
John Veleno was a builder of guitars made entirely from aluminium which were unique at the time. He used his skills from his day job at St Petersburg, Florida, building aluminium electrical housings for space shuttles that were routinely launched from nearby Cape Canaveral. The unique build and look of John's guitars quickly made waves around the world, attracting many celebrity clients including Marc Bolan, Eric Clapton, Peter Haycock, Greg Allman, Ace Frehley, Todd Rundgren and Jeff Lynne to name a few. John completed nearly two hundred guitars before suffering from a stroke that sadly left him unable to continue his craft. Subsequently, his original instruments are a global rarity and command high premiums in the collectors market

In Joe Does's words: 'As soon as he learnt to walk, Brandon Hicks displayed a frightening talent for destruction; burning down the family condo aged five, breaking too many bones to keep count and even shattering his front teeth trying to catch a speeding baseball in his mouth. Having exhausted the patience of his parents and small town residents of Bone Lake, Wisconsin, teenager Hicks was exiled in 1977 and left to travel across America. Drifting from state to state, more wrecking ball than tumbleweed, Hicks eventually found his spiritual home in Times Square, New York, 1979. Hicks worked a ticket booth at the Wide Eye peepshow by day and played with his band Fist Meets Face at night. After only a few explosive shows, Fist Meets Face became the must-see act on the New York punk scene, where each performance would include a smashed guitar, a puddle of blood and, following the after-show party, another broken heart. (that's the story we're telling at Joe Doe Guitars...)' £800-1200

In a spring 2000, issue 14 of The Z Gazette, an interview between Keith Smart and Melvyn Whittaker discusses the history of this bass guitar. The article includes photos of Mel's collection and images of legendary bassist Jaco Pastorius playing it. When Jaco's band were playing in Oxford, England, circa 1979, Mel had a guest list pass via the band's guitar tech. As Jaco predominantly used a fretless bass, Melvyn took it along assuming that it may interest him. Following a soundcheck, the pair met and Jaco played it for nearly an hour, commenting 'What an instrument, this is the most incredible instrument that I've ever played in my life'. Further comments in the feature discuss the pickups, where Mel recalls that they were from an original Fender Telecaster bass that had been given to Tony by Ian McClagan (Faces/Small Faces).
Sold with a certificate of authenticity from Keith Smart, confirming that this is a genuine Anthony Zemaitis guitar, made for Mel Whittaker in 1974.

*Formerly owned by British guitarist and singer/songwriter Johnny Marr, founding member of The Smiths and former member of The Pretenders, The The, Electronic, Modest Mouse and The Cribs.
After leaving The Smiths in 1987, Johnny Marr had a six month period with The Pretenders. In 1988, musical differences saw him leave and join The The, a very popular post punk band in the late 80s and early 90s. By 1988, along with Johnny Marr, Matt Johnson had recruited ex Nick Lowe bassist James Eller and ex ABC drummer David Palmer as full-time members of the band. This line-up, plus guest singer Sinead O'Connor, recorded the album 'Mindbomb', which debuted at number four in the UK album charts. This album featured the band's highest charting single at the time 'The Beat (en Generation)', which peaked at number eighteen in the UK singles chart.
In 1989 through 1990, following the release of the album, the band embarked on the lengthy 'the The Versus the World' world tour. During this tour, a live film of the same name, directed by Tim Pope was filmed during the three nights the band performed at London's Royal Albert Hall.
This guitar was Johnny's number one stage used instrument during this 'the The' period, being used on every single date. The guitar can be seen on the live film 'The The Versus the World' at The Royal Albert Hall, as well as featuring heavily in promotional material around this time.
The guitar, a 1988 Fender American Vintage 1962 Reissue Stratocaster, was made in the factory that later became the Fender Custom Shop, which at the time supplied many custom builds to artists. This was one of the first few instruments given to Johnny by Fender, who now have a longstanding relationship and regular produced signature models. Johnny's favourite guitar at the time, that he still uses to this day, was an original 1962 Fender Stratocaster. This guitar, being the same specification, was acquired as an alternative less expensive instrument and therefore deemed less of a risk to take out on tour. The guitar was modified by Johnny Marr's guitar technician Phil Powell with EMG pickups during the American leg of the world tour to avoid hum problems (see Marr's Guitars' section of 'The Guitar Magazine' volume one, issue one, collectors issue). The guitar also features an old style Precision Bass brass knob allowing better grip (see page 78 of Guitar Player, January 1990). The case features a brown tag inscribed 'Blonde Strat EMG Pickups' to allow him to find it within his extensive guitar collection. Within the case is Johnny's personal thumb pick and custom Ernie Ball 'Johnny' plectrum (see page 78 of Guitar Player, January 1990)
The guitar is supplied with an extensive selection of provenance including:
-A postcard detailing the guitar's use, signed front and back by Johnny Marr.
-Johnny's personal thumb pick and custom 'Johnny' Ernie Ball plectrum.
-Various photographs of Johnny Marr in the 'Crazy Face Factory' with the guitar, including signing the provenance note and back of the headstock.
-the The Versus the World tour programme and VHS video, both featuring the guitar.
-Various photographs of the guitar in use during the world tour.
-A photograph of the Japanese 'Guitar' magazine showing the front cover feature image of Johnny with the guitar.
-A copy of the 'Mindbomb' album CD.
-A copy of Guitar Player magazine, January 1990 where the guitar is mentioned.
-A copy of The Guitar magazine edition 1, 1990, where the guitar is mentioned.
-A scan of an NME magazine that features an image of Johnny with the guitar.
-A tag on the case handwritten by Johnny Marr inscribed 'Blonde Strat EMG Pickups'
The guitar was purchased by the vendor directly from Johnny Marr, who signed the back of the headstock and supplied a handwritten postcard detailing the guitar's use.

This amplifier features in a 'Marr's Guitars' section of The Guitar Magazine, volume 1, issue 1, collectors issue, where it states 'the The Live Amplification is a rack set up based around two Mesa Boogie quad preamps, a Mesa Boogie 295 power amp and a Mesa Boogie TC2290. On page 78 of Guitar Player, January 1990, Johnny states 'On tour I'm using a Mesa Boogie quad preamp. The power amp is a Mesa Boogie 295, I had intended to buy a 400, but it had a cold hifi sound. The 295 is much more sympathetic to guitar'.

Gary Moore - 1961 Gibson SG Junior electric guitar, made in USA, ser. no. 38136; Body: TV yellow finish, light checking, blemishes to edges, dings and marks; Neck: light wear and checking throughout; Fretboard: rosewood; Frets: good, refret; Electrics: working; Hardware: generally good, pickup cover replaced, missing top corner of pickguard, replacement Schaller locking tuners (pilot holes enlarged to fit, original strip tuners and bushings retained); Case: Ibanez hard case; Weight: 2.82kg; Overall condition: good
*One of two 1961 Gibson TV Yellow SG Juniors known to have been owned by Gary Moore. This guitar was offered and sold at auction through Bonhams on 4th May 2022, on behalf of the Gary Moore estate. The other was sold by Gary Moore through GAK, Brighton, circa 2007, now owned by a London based private collector. According to the Bonhams auction listing, this guitar was used in photo shoots for the 1994 BBM (Baker Bruce Moore) press sessions. The listing also states that the guitar features in the VHS release of Blues for Greeny, on the track Showbiz Blues, having a Seymour Duncan JBJ pickup fitted. This pickup is included in the sale.
Gary can be seen with a TV Yellow Gibson SG Junior in the VHS release of the 1995 Blues for Greeny concert, where he uses it on 'Showbiz Blues' and 'Dust my Broom'. The guitar can be seen with a zebra humbucker pickup fitted and with raised action for slide use. Whilst the Bonhams auction listing states that it was this guitar used for the live concert, there is a chance (without certainty) that it could have been the other.
Ex lot 231, The Gary Moore Collection Part III, Bonhams, 4th May 2022. Sold with a Seymour JBJ pickup and original letter of provenance from the Bonhams auction.

*This guitar was Noel Harrison's main instrument and companion since he purchased it new from Fred Walecki's store in 1971, until he passed in 2013. About the guitar, his wife Lori stated it was "never out of sight or reach, whether on a long weekend to our favourite funky hideaway on a cliffside in Baja, desert camping among the gigantic rocks in Joshua Tree or on a 10 week My Fair Lady tour of Japan … noel wasn’t a “thing” person, preferring to keep it simple, but man was he passionate about his Mark Whitebook, often sharing it’s story with people he thought would appreciate it and ultimately loving it more than anything... in the 25 years we were together, I can count on one hand the number of days he didn’t pick it up … the night of 19th Octover 2013, "Tex & CP" (he and his partner’s stage names when playing his most adored country music), played an unexpectedly well-received and recorded gig at the Blackdog Townhall… unusually exhausted when he returned, Noel set down his guitar, climbed the stairs to our bedroom and died a few hours later". Despite the guitars "well used" appearance, it is still an incredible joy to play and a great sounding instrument, as the following video demonstrates. Mark Whitebook is an acclaimed guitar maker, who in the 1970s had a cult following for his handmade guitars with a client list that included James Taylor, Carly Simon, Phil Keaggy and Clarence White. Between 1970 and 1980, Whitebook made a total of 70 guitars, before hanging up his tool to pursue another career. Of these early instruments, American singer-songwriter and guitarist James Taylor, a six time Grammy Award winner, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, had 6 or 7, which he has used prominently throughout his career up until the present day. A 1984, issue of Guitar Player magazine features a cover photo of James Taylor holding one of Whitebook's maple dreadnoughts. Thirty-five years later, on the cusp of turning 66, Whitebook returned to building instruments, using his original tools and moulds that he had kept in storage. Between 2014 and his full retirement in 2019, he made another 29 guitars, taking his total output to 99. Mark Whitebook guitars are therefore rare and sought after, especially the early 'vintage' examples. This guitar is one of Whitebook's earliest builds, having been made no later than 1971. In his very early career, when this guitar was built, most of his sales were through Westwood Music, California, USA. Proprietor, Fred Walecki agreed to purchase all of the guitars he could provide to him. As a just-starting-out luthier, lacking an established reputation to bring customers directly to his shop, the relationship with Fred was a huge benefit. He was smart, knowledgeable, personable, and his shop was very well known in the contemporary Los Angeles music scene. It was here that Noel would have purchased this guitar and was the sole owner until his passing in 2013. The appearance of the guitar and the heavy duty case show how prominently it toured the world by his side. Adding to the guitars rarity, it is one of only a handful that are without a pearl 'W' to the head. This was a feature that Fred Walecki encouraged Whitebook to do for branding purposes. Mark told us: "Only a few months after this guitar was made, Fred Walecki implored me to add some sort of easily-visible identifying logo to the guitar, so that people would know what they were looking at; the shell “W” gracing the peghead of subsequent instruments was the result". Mark Whitebook has kindly supplied a signed document, confirming the specification, build and sale history of the instrument. Gardiner Houlgate would like to personally thank Mark for his assistance.

*Noel Harrison (1934-2013), son of British actor Rex Harrison, was an English actor and singer, having also competed in the British Olympic skiing team in the 1950s. Noel's biggest chart success was in 1968, with 'The Windmills of Your Mind', the theme tune for the 'The Thomas Crown Affair' film, which reached number 8 in the UK singles charts. The song also won the Academy Award for best original song. As a teenager, Harrison joined the Ipswich repertory theatre group and taught himself guitar. However, he spent most of his time on his main interest, Skiing. He became a member of the British ski team, becoming its first giant-slalom champion in 1953, and representing Great Britain at the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo, Norway, and at the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. Harrison undertook National Service and, after leaving the army in the 1950s, toyed with the idea of becoming a journalist, but instead, concentrated on his guitar. His early break came when he took a regular part in the BBC Television programme, Tonight, as part of a team who sang the day's news in a calypso style. Around this time he also started playing professionally, around the tables in a Greek restaurant in London. He also made a living playing in bars and nightclubs all over Europe, including appearances at the Blue Angel nightclub in Mayfair, London. In the early 1960s, Harrison appeared in small roles in British films before moving to the United States in 1965. He worked as an entertainer, and had a track called 'A Young Girl', written by Charles Aznavour, reach the charts. This track would later appear on his debut album. He also appeared as Mark Slate in the NBC series 'The Girl From UNCLE' and then later 'The Man from UNCLE'. His television appearances and his top forty record secured Harrison a recording contract with Reprise who released three of his albums 'Collage', 'Santa Monica Pier' and 'The Great Electric Experiment is Over'. Collage reached number 135 in the US Billboard 200 chart. He also toured with The Beach Boys, Sonny & Cher and appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. It was in 1968 he recorded 'The Windmills of Your Mind', the theme tune from the film The Thomas Crown Affair, which won the Academy Award for best original song and became a top ten hit in the UK singles chart. During the 1970s, as well as touring as a musician, Harrison toured the United States in productions of Camelot and The Sound of Music, also playing Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady. In 2004, Harrison returned to the UK, settling in Devon. He continued to sing, appearing in occasional concerts, recording and releasing self-produced albums. In June 2011, Harrison played at Glastonbury Festival's 'Sprit of 71' stage, marking forty years since his appearance at the second stage of the festival. The performance was televised by the BBC, including a backstage acoustic version of the song 'The Windmills of Your Mind'.

Great Exhibition of 1851 interest -Important, historic and unique harp-guitar with bespoke stand made by D. Jose Gallegos of Spain and signed in mother of pearl on a circular plate positioned beneath the sound hole, the back and sides constructed of rosewood, the spruce table with alternating geometric mother of pearl banding and with further ornate mother of pearl inlaid bands enclosing the sound hole, the harp fitted with twenty six strings and the guitar with two double coarse and four single strings; the instrument also fitted with an angled extended cello neck fitted with three strings, all the strings attached to a pierced foliate engraved metal plate fastened to the lower bouts of the table and bearing an oval plaque inscribed Malaga 1849, also bearing a monogram inscribed on a small gold oval plaque to the pierced guitar headstock, with original harp turning key and within a bespoke made plush lined case. This instrument is sold with the original ormolu and rosewood bespoke stand also made by D. Jose Gallegos, the stand fitted with height and horizontal adjustments, supported upon a short hexagonal tapered column and four curving pierced legs with folding extended ormolu scroll feet; also with a bespoke made carrying case.
*This instrument was shown at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London and famously recorded in a wood engraved print after the painter C.N. Jarvas, which was reproduced for all posterity by several sources including Dover Books. The instrument was awarded the medal of the council of S.M.D., and allegedly the praise of Queen Victoria and her husband Albert.
-
** The harp-guitar has a long and interesting history and more recently has been located in Madrid music shop for several years. Originally we understand the instrument was commissioned from Jose Gallegos by the Duke of Montpensie r as a special present for his wife in about 1846. Apparently the maker took a full four years and spent 2000 duros in expense to complete it. The guitar was then taken to Seville and demonstrated in front of the Duke who unfortunately refused to receive or pay for the instrument. It is also alleged after the sale fell through that he played it twice for Queen Victoria and also gave several successful public concerts. He also moved to New York where again he performed on the instrument. The whereabouts of the guitar-harp after this and before it came be located in the Madrid music shop is unknown.
*** This instrument is also accompanied by a legal document indicating that the vendor has good title.

END OF SALE
CONDITIONS OF SALE
The Auctioneer acts only as agent for the Seller (unless otherwise specifically declared). Lots sold are likely to have been subject to wear and tear caused by user or the effects of age and may therefore have faults and imperfections. Buyers are given ample opportunity at viewing times to examine lots to be sold and will be assumed to have done so. They must rely solely on their own skill or judgement as to whether lots are fit for any particular purpose.
1. Bids
All bids made shall be treated as offers made upon these Conditions of Sale and all persons present and approved to bid are admitted to a sale on the basis that they have notice of these Conditions.
1A. Internet Bidding
There are no additional surcharges when bidding via our own bidding platform 'GH Live'
We also use two other online bidding platforms via the-saleroom.com and Easylive which will be subject to additional fees. Please see their respective websites for further details and terms.
‘Pre-Bidding Autobids’
'Pre-Bidding' is a new feature to our own platform and allows bidders to bid against each other prior to the start of a live auction. During the live auction the bidding will start at the current bid reached during the 'Pre-Bidding' and continues until your maximum bid is reached. All bids are anonymous, and your maximum bids are confidential. If you have been outbid, during the ‘Pre-Bidding’ then you will receive an email notifying you that you are no longer the leading bidder, however once the sale is live you will not receive any further notifications. Once bids are placed, they cannot be removed, but can be reduced, if above the current bid.
2. Ascertainment of the Buyer
The Buyer shall be the person making the highest bid which is acceptable to the Auctioneer as signified by the fall of the hammer. No bid may be retracted. In the case of a dispute the Auctioneer may either declare the purchaser or put the lot up again.

14. Definitions and interpretation
In these conditions: (a) Reference to the ‘the Auctioneer’ shall be taken to mean the firm of Gardiner Houlgate or any director, partner or employee thereof at the time of sale; (b) Buyers shall be deemed to be the principals unless to the prior knowledge of the Auctioneer they are acting as agent on behalf of a named principal; (c) ‘Forgery’ means a lot (i) which is so constituted as deliberately to deceive when considered in the light of its catalogue description, and (ii) whose value as such is materially less that if it had complied with the catalogue description; (d) The Interpretation Act 1978 shall apply to the general construction of terms and expressions used in these Conditions as if contained in a statute.
15. Law and Jurisdiction
These Conditions of sale are subject to English law, which shall apply to their construction as well as their effect. The Seller and Buyer agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
16. What is Temporary Importation?
Temporary Importation is a system that applies to lots which have been imported for sale from outside the EU. It allows the point of importation to be delayed until after the sale at auction. These lots are indicated in catalogues by the use of the following symbol * Only the Hammer Price will be treated as the import price and the Buyer’s Premium will be subject to UK domestic VAT at 20%. So whilst the Hammer Price will continue to be charged with Import VAT at 5% or 20” as appropriate, the Buyer’s Premium will always be charged with domestic VAT at 20% Lots subject to Temporary Importation will be offered under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme and will be subject to import VAT of either 5% or 20% on the buyer’s Premium. Anyone who wishes to buy outside the Margin Scheme should notify us immediately. An invoice under the normal VAT rules and charging VAT at 20% on both Hammer and Premium will then be issued
Temporary Importation should affect only private individual buyers who are resident within the EU. Anyone who is registered for VAT in the EU should be able to recover the VAT on the Buyer’s Premium either on their VAT returns or through the 8th Directive Refund Scheme. Any non-EU buyer who exports the lots from the EU will be able to have the VAT refunded provided the appropriate export regulations are complied with
17. Property sold with a * Symbol These items have been imported from outside the EU to be sold at auction under temporary importation. When Gardiner Houlgate releases such property to buyers in the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay Gardiner Houlgate import VAT at 5% on the Hammer Price These lots will be invoiced under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme. Gardiner Houlgate must bear VAT on the Buyer’s Premium and hence charge an amount in lieu of VAT at 20% on this Premium. This amount will form part of the Buyer’s Premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified VAT registered buyers from the EU should note that the import VAT charged on property released in the UK cannot be cancelled or refunded by Gardiner Houlgate VAT registered buyers from the UK should note that the invoice issued by Gardiner Houlgate for these items is not suitable evidence in respect of import VAT VAT registered buyers from the EU countries may be able to seek repayment of the import VAT paid by applying to HM Revenue and Customs. On request, immediately after the sale, the office can either ask HM Revenue and Customs to generate a C79 certificate (for UK buyers), or obtain a copy of the import C88 (for other EU VAT registered buyers), which may be used to claim recovery of the VAT. Otherwise Gardiner Houlgate may re-invoice the lot and charge VAT at 20% on both the Hammer Price and the Premium and provide a tax invoice to the buyer
18. CITES Restrictions
Any lots containing any amount of Brazilian rosewood and endangered species may be subject to restrictions when exporting outside of the EU. It will be the buyer’s responsibility to make sure that the relevant paperwork is in place before shipping. Some lots are sold with CITES article 10 certificates, allowing the commercial use of an item containing an endangered species. Lots subject to this are marked in the catalogue
Import/Export
It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain the correct import/export licenses and CITES licenses for items which they have purchased. Gardiner Houlgate take no responsibility for the export of goods.
19. Gemstones
Many gemstones have been treated in various ways to enhance their appearance. For example, sapphires and rubies are routinely heat treated and emerald treated with oils and resins. Some stones may require re-treating or oiling periodically. Enhancement affects market value, and all Gardiner Houlgate estimates assume that gemstones may have been enhanced.
20.Artists Resale Rights (or Droit de Suite)
On certain lots marked in the catalogues and which are sold for a hammer price of £1000 or greater (converted into the currency of the sale using The Design and Artists Copyright Society threshold calculator on the date of the Sale) the Additional Premium will be the percentage of the amount of the Hammer Price calculated as follows:
£0-£50,000 4%
£50,000.01 to £200,000 3%
£200,000.01 to £350,000 1%
£350,000.01 to £500,000 0.5%
Exceeding £500,000 0.25%
