The present lot demonstrates the culmination of a collaborative effort between three members of the imperial cabinet dear to the Qianlong emperor, made during the golden years of his reign in the eighteenth century. Of this fan, the guard bears refined calligraphy by Ji Yun in an inscription of an imperial poem, while scholar-official Liang Shizheng provided luxurious and attentive calligraphy of ten classic Tang verses selected by the emperor to describe vignettes of spring and its sense of boundless possibility. Finally, Qian Weicheng lent a hand more familiar with landscape to a rarely seen bird and flower painting. Examples of similar imperial fans are held in the collections of both the Palace Museum in Beijing and the National Place Museum in Taipei. These extant examples largely consist of works considered in their time as precious examples; whereas the Hanchun studio described in Qianlong’s poem inscribed on the present lot in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was a location frequented by the emperor. Indeed, the ribs show old traces from opening and retracting quite possibly borne by imperial hand.

這是乾隆全盛時代留下的君臣翰墨,由三位得意近臣合力完成:紀曉嵐書御題詩扇骨,典雅悦目;大學士梁詩正書扇面,華貴雍 容,端凝如貴婦,且十首御選詩描繪的俱是春景,暗透春意無邊;背面的花鳥圖出自錢維城,錢的翎毛極少見——大約他自己也知道 不擅于此,聖命之下,只有勉力爲之。 兩岸故宮藏有摺扇數十柄,但詩書畫集錦且俱出自名家的,珍罕之極。御題詩中所言之涵春室,也就是乾隆日常起居的養心殿後 殿,此扇摺痕宛然,那麽極有可能是天家摩挲把玩的手澤了!

洛克菲勒舊藏《西清古鑒四十卷 附錢錄十六卷》 清光緒十四年(1888)邁宋書館銅版印本 白紙24冊

《西清》原是乾隆帝命梁詩正等近臣將內府庋藏青銅器分門 別類,仿效《宣和博古圖》和呂氏《考古圖》輯成的圖錄, 歷時三年始成。全書含銅器1529件,一圖一文,銘文鉤摹, 方圓圍徑、高廣輕重皆有注釋。另有《錢錄》收有古泉567 枚,繪圖精審,毫厘不失。 銅版本據乾隆殿本影刻而成,開本闊達,形神皆同。首頁記 題“光緒十四年邁宋書館在日本銅鐫”——這不是日本書局的 風格,但邁宋書館向無資料,如今普遍認爲是中國書賈或藏 書樓委托日人刻製,刻成後因故未能取回銅板,后被日本書 商私印。 光緒年閒,清廷出使日本的參贊陳明遠看到書商私刻的《西 清古鑒》,無力購買,遂告知廣東士紳劉學詢。劉積極籌 款,最終從東洋購回全套銅板九十六箱,刷印傳播。後來, 劉學詢通過安徽巡撫沈慕,於光緒十九年(1893)春天呈進黃 綾裝訂的印樣一部,最終獻板于宮内。 本套《銅版西清》出自加州奧克蘭市著名的密爾斯文理學 院,是洛克菲勒基金會贈予該校的禮物,每冊扉頁鈐有洛氏 基金會印章,附藏書票,書後則貼有圖書館的卡片,意義非 凡,值得珍藏。

Loo, and calligraphic postscript by Cheng Bofen (of Xuan hui tang) in pale red ink. As infrequently as the Song dynasty Xuanhe bogu tu is seen, this jiaokan edition is perhaps even rarer. Indeed, the collator, Zheng Pu of Suizhou, was not entirely known when the imperial bibliography of the Tianlu Linlang library was published, and thus the work was misdated. Similarly, previous collector Qian Chenqun, a Hanlin scholar and near contemporary of such imperial bibliographies, believed this to be a Yuan dynasty work, as stated in his postscript for the present lot.

宋刻本宣和博古圖寥若星鳳,本部是明代遂州人鄭樸萬曆年閒縮 幅重刻的校刊本,如今也不多見了。天祿琳琅編撰之時,尚不知 鄭樸係何人,由於鄭序自記年月為宣和五年,序首卻有詆 宋徽 宗之語,若鄭樸真是當時臣民,那麽自然不會將這種書刊刻印行 了。所以《天祿》姑將此本附在元本宣和博古圖之後。錢陳群在 跋文中作同樣解釋——因為他是同一代人。 嘉興錢氏是望族,錢陳群是吳越太祖钱镠的二十六世孫,和沈德 潜并称“东南二老”。康熙六十年進士出身,從翰林院編修官至刑

部侍郎,死後諡太傅。他的族人中有擅畫的錢維城,他的兒 子就是《四庫全書》和《三通》的副總編錢汝誠。

本書曾入盛杏蓀的愚宅圖書館,首卷留有卡片,杏蓀死後散 出。書中一冊夾有致盧芹齋的信函一封,日期為49年1月。又 有萱暉堂程伯奮以淡紅墨水書就的跋文。程伯奮出身海上古 董世家,久居東京,以藏法書和尺牘聞名,是盛杏蓀七子盛 昇颐的至交好友。盛七與孔宋交好,本是盛家二代中權位最 高者,然而五十年代投機棉紗生意失利,不得不變賣家產, 潦倒病逝于日本。程伯奮的書畫善本不少即因此而來。港中 文大學的盛宣懷信劄檔,也是經他聯絡才得以入藏的。 本書品相上佳,有老修,極仔細,書頁張張溜口,然平整匀 净如新,偶有斷線一二、书角斑駁,那是平常展閲的手澤 了。本書是怎樣在盛家、盧芹齋、程伯奮之間流轉的,今已 不可靠。人事變化如白雲蒼狗,為物長存,值得珍賞。 參考: 《欽定天錄琳瑯書目卷五:元版史部》 《國家圖書館中文古籍聯合目錄》

1928年初版 斯坦因《亞洲腹地考古記》4卷全

對於中國人來説,斯坦因 (Sir Aurel Stein)是個備受爭議的人 物。這位原籍匈牙利的英國考古學家天生精力充沛、野心 勃勃,語言天賦尤其過人。24嵗即被授予東方學院院长的職 位,遠赴英屬印度考察。從1900到1931,斯坦因組織了四次 探險,足跡遍佈絲路——先後發掘了和阗、尼雅、樓蘭。當 然,還有舉世震驚的敦煌莫高窟。

1928年初版的這套《考古記》,完成于1913-16年第三輪探險

之後。這一次他重访敦煌,带走大量文物,还发掘了西夏古 城黑水,打开了“河边大塔”的塔腹和基座,整理出四千件佛 经、雕塑和文書。本書不但記載了考察的詳情,還附有五十 餘份考古地圖,以及五百餘張珍貴圖片——從千年不腐的樓 蘭艷尸、色澤如新的西域壁畫、到黃沙大漠的風土人情,即 使又一個世紀過去,展卷覽畢,震撼依舊銘心。

Lots 202-206 represent a series of steel-plate engravings by Thomas Allom, a British architect, artist, and topographical illustrator. Following the Macartney expedition to China at the end of the eighteenth century, British curiosity towards the lands, customs, and people of the country only increased, and Allom was no exception. Unfortunately, he did not have opportunity to visit China himself, so these illustrations rely entirely upon his interpretation of written accounts. The result is demonstrated in these works with an architect’s eye for precise renderings of his imagined halls, temples, city gates, and expansive interiors, sweeping vistas across dramatic landscapes, but sometimes near comical depictions of the people and customs within them. Together, these lots comprise a precise lens for understanding a British view of China in the late imperial period.

艾隆是維多利亞時代著名的建築師。在今天,他的插畫遠比 建築有名。自18世紀末馬戛爾尼使團訪華,帶回乾隆帝賞賜 的大批回禮,“中國風”在大不列顛刮起旋風。艾隆游遍大英 與中亞,對華夏心向往之,卻不曾有機會涉足,所以根據前 任的筆記游記,創作了許多心目中的滿清社會場景。在這些 版畫中,有城鎮市集、深宮寺廟;有江南山水、藏蒙風土; 有嬉鬧小兒、有深閨貴婦。可以説市井百態羅列風俗。但是 細察之下,難掩歐陸風格——雕梁畫棟俱是洋式,官紳香客 高鼻深目,織綉羅衫襯蕾絲花邊。這種臆想帶來的裝飾手法 是如此天真,以一種赤誠的可愛,令人莞爾。

L

ike many objects d’art made during the height of the Qing period, in which the techniques, material, media, and artistry particular to various individual practices act interdependently to create an artistic whole, this pair of embroidered silk panels, set in polychrome and gilt lacquered frames as fans resist singular categorization. Works of this class share a trend toward the sumptuous, with an emphasis on extravagance, and an expert application of artisanal skill that had achieved a zenith by the latter Qing dynasty. In the case of this pair of fans, this is evidenced through a combination of weaving, embroidering, carving, and lacquering. The embroidery work, which consists of a near dozen needlecraft techniques, whispers above a densely woven ground of slender silk threads to create a lustrous satin of a gold-touched cream. Each visible panel shows a polyphony of birds—of which types include phoenix, parrot, hummingbird, quail, pheasant, sparrow, mandarin duck, and myna—chattering against branches with chrysanthemum, peony, lotus, prunus, bees, and butterflies, all above vesicular rocks. Diverse applications of varying embroidery techniques and stitches are each masterfully chosen as descriptive medium for each respective subject. For example, of the multiple types of satin stitches used, leveled stitches (qizhen) are anchored in neat rows to create forking tributaries of sturdy branches and leaves, whereas painterly long-and-short stitches (taozhen) form rockery punctuated with stem stitches (gunzhen). For bird feathers, the most complex multicolored scale stitches (kelinzhen) are reserved for the phoenix, while some flash tidy rows of aptly-named hen feather stitch (jimaozhen), and dramatic tails are rendered with stitches of varying density resembling pine needles (shizhen). Finally, details of miniscule seed stitches (dazizhen), and woven wheel stitches are applied sparingly. Each set of panels rests within a conforming lacquered circular frame above elongated handles with openwork details. Swirling ribbons of red and black lacquer create a marble finish achieved with the polychrome painted ‘bixi’ lacquering technique in which red raw lacquer sap is repeatedly freckled over black lacquered base layers, creating an uneven surface of bumpy peaks and valleys. This process requires application of thin layers of raw lacquer, which is toxic before curing and must dry completely before the next layer is applied. After the layers are complete, the work is polished smooth to a uniform surface of polychrome striations. With the present fans, the lacquered surface is further decorated with gold powder filling in carved recesses along the borders and handles. The gilt details encircling the frames about the embroidered silk panels mirror the subject matter they frame and are composed of various blossoming flowers and birds, whereas the handles are unusually incised with inscriptions from archaic bronzes and annotations in regular script. Needlework of this type: exemplified by the ornate and complex composition with negligible negative space aligns the fans with the Guangzhou school of silk embroidery. Many Guangzhou embroidered silk articles—even those worked in similar motifs—are often characterized as export material. However, both the fine quality of the embroidery and the details in the lacquered frames, particularly the archaistic inscriptions, support the likelihood that this pair of fans, and works similar, were created to appeal to a domestic Chinese, and indeed, imperial, taste. Examples of similar fans are held in privately and in museum collections, including a notable pair embroidered with a more vivid palette against a paler ground in Beijing Palace Museum formally accessioned in the first half of the twentieth century. Though often overlooked by an uninitiated eye as mere decorative objects at the margins of art history, fans of this caliber demonstrate the finest technique and quality of materials used to carefully balance dramatic elements to refined, tasteful effect.

All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports. Bidding at Auction The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are: $0 - $200 ........................................ $10 $200 - $500 ........................................ $25 $500 - $1,000 ..................................... $50 $1,000 - $2,000 ................................... $100 $2,000 - $5,000 ................................... $200 $5,000 - $10,000 ................................. $500 $10,000 - $20,000 .............................. $1,000 $20,000 - $50,000 .............................. $2,000 $50,000 - $100,000 ............................ $5,000 $100,000 - $200,000 .......................... $10,000 Over > $200,000 ...... Auctioneer’s Discretion

CONDITIONS OF SALE These Conditions of Sale set out the terms upon which Hindman LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) sells property by lot in this catalogue. You agree to be bound by these terms by registering to bid and/or by bidding in our auction. A glossary at the end defines the words in bold type.

A. BEFORE THE AUCTION

1. LOT DESCRIPTIONS AND WARRANTIES Our description of a lot, any statement of a lot’s condition, and any other oral or written statement about a lot—such as its nature, condition, artist, period, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibition or publication history, or provenance—are our opinion and shall not to be relied upon by you as a statement of fact. Except for the limited authenticity warranty contained in paragraphs E and F below, we do not provide any guarantee of our description or the nature of a lot. 2. CONDITION The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold “AS IS,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot’s condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition and may not include all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration, or adaptation. Likewise, images in our catalogue may not depict a lot accurately, as colors and shades may appear different in print or on screen than on physical inspection. We are not responsible for providing you with a description of a lot’s condition in the catalogue or in a condition report. 3. VIEWING LOTS We offer pre-auction viewings, either scheduled or by appointment, that are free of charge. If you believe that the catalogue description or condition reports are not sufficient, we suggest you inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative before you bid on a lot to make sure that you accept the description and its condition. We recommend you hire a professional adviser if you are not familiar with how to address the nature or condition of an object. 4. ESTIMATES Estimates of a lot account for the condition, rarity, quality, and provenance of the object and are based upon prices realized for similar objects in past auctions. Neither you nor anyone else may rely on our estimates as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges. 5. WITHDRAWAL We may, in our sole discretion, withdraw a lot from auction at any time prior to or during the sale and shall have no liability to you for our decision to withdraw.

B. REGISTERING TO BID

1. NEW BIDDERS New bidders must register at least twenty-four (24) hours before an auction and must provide us with documentation of their identity. (a) Individuals must provide photo identification (driver’s license, non-driver ID card, or passport) and, if not shown on the photo identification, proof of current address (a current utility bill or bank statement). (b) Corporate clients must provide a Certificate of Incorporation or its equivalent bearing the company’s name and registered address, together with documentary proof of directors and beneficial owners. (c) Trusts, partnerships, offshore companies, and other business entities must contact us in advance of the auction to discuss our requirements. If we are not satisfied with the information you provide us in our bidder identification and other registration procedures, we may refuse to register you to bid, and if you make a successful bid, we may cancel the contract for sale between you and the seller. New bidders may be required to provide us with a financial reference and/or a deposit before we allow them to bid. 2. RETURNING BIDDERS If you have not bought anything from us recently, then we may require you to register as a new bidder, as described in the paragraph above. Please contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction. 3. BIDDING FOR ANOTHER PERSON If you are bidding as an agent on behalf of another person, your principal must be a registered bidder and must provide us with written authorization

allowing you to bid. You, as the agent, shall accept personal liability to pay the purchase price and all other sums due unless we have agreed in writing before the auction that you are acting as an agent on behalf of your principal and that we will only seek payment from your principal. 4. BIDDING IN THE SALEROOM If you wish to bid in the saleroom, you must first acquire a bidding paddle at least thirty (30) minutes before the auction. 5. OUR BIDDING SERVICES We offer the following bidding services as a convenience to our clients, subject to these Conditions of Sale. We shall not be responsible for any error, omission, or failure, human or otherwise, in providing these services. (a) Phone Bids: You must contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction to arrange a phone bid. We will accept bids by telephone for lots only if our staff is available to take the bids. We agree that we may record telephone bids. (b) Internet Bids: You can bid in our live sales via our bidding platform or through third-party bidding sites. (c) Written Bids: You can find a Written Bid Form in the back of our catalogues, at the auction location, or online at www.hindmanauctions.com. We must receive your completed Written Bid Form at least twenty-four (24) hours before the auction. We will endeavor to execute written bids at the lowest possible price consistent with the reserve. If you make a written bid on a lot that does not have a reserve and there is no higher bid than yours, we will bid on your behalf at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the low estimate or, if lower, the amount of your bid. The first written bid we receive of those for identical amounts will be given priority over other bids. 6. CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION HOLD When you register to bid you may be asked to provide us with a valid credit card number. You authorize us to verify the validity of the credit card by placing a $100 authorization hold on the card that will remain until it falls off, usually within 48 hours.

C. DURING THE AUCTION

1. BIDDING IN THE AUCTION (a) Live Auctions. We will appoint an individual auctioneer to administer a live auction. The auctioneer may accept bids from (a) written bids left with us by bidders before the auction; (b) bidders in the saleroom; (c) telephone bidders; and (d) Internet bidders. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/ her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding. (b) Online-only Auctions. Bids may only be submitted on our website or through third-party bidding sites between the dates and times specified in the lot’s description. Your bid is submitted once you place and confirm your bid amount. You agree that a bid is final once it is placed and that you may never amend or revoke your bid. You are fully responsible for any errors you make in bidding. Bidding generally opens at or below the low estimate and increases in steps (bidding increments) to be determined in Hindman’s sole discretion. 2. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to (a) admit a bidder into or remove a bidder from the saleroom or online auction; (b) accept or refuse any bid; (c) change the order of the lots in the auction; (d) move the bidding backward or forward; (e) withdraw any lot from the auction; (f) divide any lot or combine any two or more lots; (g) reopen or continue the bidding even after the hammer has fallen; and (h) continue the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot in the event that there is an error or dispute related to bidding or the application of the reserve, whether during or after the auction. You must provide us with written notice within three (3) business days of the date of the auction if you believe that the auctioneer has accepted the successful bid in error. The auctioneer will consider the claim and decide in good faith if the sale of the lot is final, whether he/she will cancel the sale of the lot, or whether he/she will reoffer and resell the lot. The auctioneer’s decision in exercise of this discretion is final. This paragraph does not in any way affect our ability to cancel the sale of a lot under other applicable provisions of these Conditions of Sale, including the rights of cancellation set forth in sections B(1), D(6), E(2), and G(1). 3. BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER The auctioneer may, at his/her sole option, bid on behalf of the seller up to one bidding increment before the reserve by making either consecutive or responsive bids. The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made on behalf of the seller. If a lot is offered without reserve, the auctioneer will open the bidding at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the lot’s low estimate; where


necessary, will lower the asking bid until a bid is received; and will solicit higher bids from that amount. If there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem the lot unsold. 4. SUCCESSFUL BIDS AND INVOICES Subject to paragraph C(2), the contract of sale between the seller and the successful bidder is formed when the final bid is accepted and the auctioneer’s hammer strikes. The successful bid price is the hammer price, and we will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by mail and/or email after the auction, we shall not be responsible for telling you whether your bid was successful. You should contact us immediately after the auction to find out the success of your bid in order to avoid having to pay storage charges.

D. AFTER THE AUCTION

1. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots, we charge twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $250,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $250,000 up to and including $3,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $3,000,000. If the bidder bids through a third-party platform the bidder agrees to pay us a surcharge equal to the fee levied by the third-party platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium. 2. TAXES The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes, including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot. A sales or use tax is dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, our volume of sale and the place of delivery of the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the successful bidder. The applicable sales tax rate will be determined based upon the state, county, or locale to which the lot will be shipped or where it is picked-up in person. We collect sales tax in states where legally required. 3. MAKING PAYMENT (a) Immediately following the auction, you must pay the purchase price, consisting of the hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium, plus any applicable duties and sales, use, or other applicable taxes. Payment is due no later than by the end of the seventh (7th) calendar day following the date of the auction, which we refer to as the due date. (b) We will only accept payment from the registered successful bidder. Once issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice or reissue the invoice in a different name. (c) You must pay for lots in US dollars in one of the following ways: (i) Wire transfer. (ii) Bank checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and we may impose other conditions. Once we have deposited your check, property cannot be released until five (5) business days have passed. (iii) Personal checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and they must be drawn from US dollar accounts from a US bank. The property will not be released until the check has cleared and the funds are received by us. (iv) Cash: We accept cash payments (including money orders and traveler’s checks) subject to a maximum aggregate of US $10,000 per buyer, per sale. (d) You must quote your invoice number when making a payment. All payments sent by post must be sent to Hindman LLC, 1338 West Lake Street, Chicago, IL 60607, ATTN: Client Accounting Department. 4. TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP TO YOU You will not own the lot and title will not pass to you until we have received full payment in good funds of the purchase price, even in circumstances where we have released the lot to you. 5. TRANSFERRING RISK TO YOU Unless we have agreed otherwise with you, the risk in and responsibility for the lot will transfer to you from whichever is the earlier of the following: (a) when you collect the lot; or (b) the end of the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the auction or, if earlier, the date the lot is taken into care by a third-party warehouse. 6. YOUR FAILURE TO PAY If you fail to pay us the purchase price in full in good funds by the due date, we will be entitled to do one or more of the following (as well as enforce any other rights and remedies we have by law) at our sole discretion: (a) We can charge interest from the due date at a rate of up to one and onehalf percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid amount due. (b) We can cancel the sale of the lot and sell the lot again, publicly or privately, on such terms as we believe appropriate, in which case you must pay us any shortfall between the amount you owe us and the resale price, plus all costs, expenses, losses, damages, and legal fees we incur due to the cancellation. (c) We can pay the seller the amount due to them, in which case you acknowledge and understand that we will have all the seller’s rights to pursue you for such amount.

(d) We can hold you legally responsible for the amount you owe us and bring legal proceedings against you to recover the amount owed by you, plus other losses, interest, legal fees, and costs as allowed by law. (e) We can reveal your identity and contact details to the seller. (f) We can reject any bids made by or on behalf of you in future auctions or require you to provide us with a deposit before accepting any bids. (g) We can exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by you, whether by way of pledge, security interest, or in any other way as permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. You will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for your obligations to us. (h) We can take any other action we deem necessary or appropriate. 7. SHIPPING, COLLECTION, AND STORAGE (a) You must collect purchased lots within thirty (30) days of the auction. We can assist in making shipping arrangements by suggesting art handlers, packers, transporters, or experts, but you must arrange all transport and shipping with them, and we are not responsible for their acts, failure to act, or neglect. (b) If you do not collect any purchased lot within thirty (30) days following the auction, we may, at our sole option, (i) charge you storage and insurance costs; (ii) move the lot to another Hindman location or to a third-party warehouse, whereupon we will charge you transport costs, insurance costs, and administration fees for doing so, and you will be subject to the third-party storage warehouse’s standard terms and responsible for paying its standard fees and costs; or (iii) sell the lot in any commercially reasonable way we think appropriate. (c) In accordance with applicable state law, if you have paid for the lot in full but you do not collect the lot within the time specified by the law of the state where the auction takes place, we may charge you state sales tax for the lot. (d) Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit our rights under paragraph D(6). 8. EXPORTING, IMPORTING, AND ENDANGERED SPECIES (a) The shipping of a lot is affected by United States export laws or the import laws of other countries. If you are outside the United States, then local laws may prevent you from importing a lot. You alone are responsible for seeking advice prior to bidding and meeting the requirements of any law or regulation applying to the export or import of a lot. (b) Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife—such as, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone, certain species of coral, and Brazilian rosewood—may be subject to export controls in the US and import controls in other countries. You should check the relevant wildlife laws and regulations before bidding on any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to export the lot from the United States, import the lot into another country, or ship the lot between states. Your purchase of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife is at your own risk, and you shall be responsible for any scientific test or other reports required for export from the United States or for shipment between states. We will not cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported, or shipped between states, or if it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to import, export, and/or interstate shipping of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife.

E. WARRANTIES

1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the seller (a) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of the lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners or, if the seller is not the owner or a joint owner of the lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the lot or the right to do so by law; and (b) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the seller shall not have to pay more than the purchase price (as defined in paragraph D(3) above) paid by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. The seller gives no warranty other than as set out above, and as far as the seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the seller to you, and all other obligations upon the seller that may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded. No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the seller’s warranties or creates an additional warranty on behalf of the seller with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

2. OUR LIMITED AUTHENTICITY WARRANTY Our limited authenticity warranty, which lasts for one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction, is that the lots in our sales are authentic as defined in paragraph H, below. You must notify Hindman regarding concerns of authenticity in writing within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or within three (3) months of the date of an online only auction. Following receipt of that written notification, subject to the terms below, Hindman will refund the purchase price paid by the client. The terms of this limited authenticity warranty are as follows: (a) It will be honored for claims notified in writing within a period of one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction. After such time, we will not be obligated to honor the limited authenticity warranty. (b) It is given only for information shown in UPPERCASE type in the first line of the catalogue description (the Heading). It does not apply to any information other than that in the Heading, even if it is shown in UPPERCASE type. (c) It does not apply to any Heading or part of a Heading that is qualified. “Qualified” means limited by a clarification in a lot’s catalogue description or by the use in a Heading of one of the terms listed in the definition of “qualified” provided in paragraph H, below. Qualified Headings are not covered at all by this limited authenticity warranty. (d) It applies to the Heading as amended by any saleroom notice. (e) It does not apply where scholarship has developed since the auction, leading to a change in generally accepted opinion. Further, it does not apply if the Heading either matched the generally accepted opinion of experts at the date of the auction or drew attention to any conflict of opinion. (f) It does not apply if the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by a scientific process that, on the date we published the catalogue, was not available or generally accepted for use, was unreasonably expensive or impractical, or was likely to have damaged the lot. (g) Its benefit is only available to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot, issued at the time of the sale, and only if, on the date of the notice of claim, the original buyer is the full owner of the lot and the lot is free from any claim, interest, or restriction by anyone else. The benefit of this limited authenticity warranty may not be transferred by the original buyer to anyone else. (h) In order to make a claim under the limited authenticity warranty, you must (i) give us written notice of your claim within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction ; (ii) at our option, pay for and provide us with the written opinions of two recognized experts in the field, mutually agreed upon by you and us, confirming that the lot is not authentic (we reserve the right to obtain additional opinions at our expense); and (iii) return the lot at your expense to the saleroom from which you bought it in the condition it was in at the time of sale. (i) Your only right under this limited authenticity warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, under any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price, nor will we be liable for any loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. (j) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide additional information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the limited authenticity warranty or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void. 3. ADDITIONAL WARRANTY FOR BOOKS If the lot is a book, then we give an additional warranty to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot issued at the time of the sale in the following circumstances: (a) We will refund the purchase price to the original buyer if we, in our sole discretion, are convinced that the book is defective in text or illustration, subject to the following terms: (i) This additional warranty does not apply to (A) the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards, or advertisements; or damage in respect of bindings, stains, spotting, marginal tears, or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text or illustration; (B) drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts, signed photographs, music, atlases, maps, or periodicals; (C) books not identified by title; (D) lots sold without a printed estimate; (E) books that are described in the catalogue as sold not subject to return; or (F) defects stated in any condition report or announced at the time of sale. (ii) To make a claim under this additional warranty, you must give written details of the defect within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale and return the lot within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale to the saleroom at which you bought it in the same condition as at the time of sale. (iii) Paragraphs E(2)(b), (c), (d), (e), (h), and (i) also apply to a claim under this additional warranty. (c) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the additional warranty for books or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void. 136

C H I N ESE & SO UTH EAST ASIAN WORKS OF ART

4. JEWELRY (a) Colored gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their appearance through methods such as heating and/or various clarity enhancements. These methods are considered common by the international jewelry trade but may make a gemstone more fragile and/or cause the gemstone to require special care over time. (b) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemological report for any item that does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three (3) weeks before the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the report. (c) We do not obtain a gemological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. When we do get gemological reports from internationally accepted gemological laboratories, such reports are described in the catalogue. Reports from American gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but they do confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree on whether a gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether that treatment is permanent. The gemological laboratories only report on the improvements or treatments known to them at the date they make the report. (d) For jewelry sales, estimates are based on the information in any gemological report. If no report is available, assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. 5. WATCHES AND CLOCKS (a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts that are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch is authentic. Watchbands described as “associated” are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights, or keys. (b) As collectors’ watches often have very fine and complex mechanisms, you are responsible for any general service, change of battery, or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the catalogue. (c) Most wristwatches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, wristwatches with water-resistant cases may not be waterproof, and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use. (d) Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile skin. When straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. We may remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site. Please check with the department for details on a lot with such a strap. 6. YOUR WARRANTIES You warrant to us and the seller that (a) the funds you use for payment are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and neither are you under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes; (b) where you are bidding on behalf of another person, (i) you have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate buyer(s) of the lot(s) in accordance with all applicable anti-money laundering and sanctions laws, you consent to us relying on this due diligence, you will retain for a period of not less than five (5) years the documentation evidencing the due diligence, and you will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by an independent third-party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) the arrangements between you and the ultimate buyer(s) in relation to the lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes; (iii) you do not know, and have no reason to suspect, that the funds used for payment are connected with or the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate buyer(s) are under investigation for, or have been charged with or convicted of, money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.

F. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU

(a) We give no warranty in relation to any statement made, or information given, by us or our representatives or employees about any lot other than as set out in the limited authenticity warranty or in the additional warranty for books, and as far as we are allowed by law, all warranties and other terms that may be added to this agreement by law are excluded. The seller’s warranties contained in paragraph E(1) are their own, and we do not have any liability to you in relation to those warranties. (b) We are not responsible to you for any reason (whether for breaking this agreement or for any other matter relating to your purchase of, or bid for, any lot) other than in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us, or other than as expressly set out in these Conditions of Sale. (c) WE DO NOT GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE


OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF ANY LOT WITH REGARD TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS EXCLUDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH. (d) Our written and telephone bidding services, online bidding services, and condition reports are free services, and we are not responsible to you for any error, omission, or failure of these services. (e) We have no responsibility to any person other than a buyer in connection with the purchase of any lot. (f) If, despite the terms in paragraphs F(a)–(e) or E(2)–(3) above, we are found to be liable to you for any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses.
