A rare early teetotum in very good condition, with the desirable crown motif (often absent or worn) clearly discernible. Teetotums are a many faceted gaming ball with each side numbered, akin to dice, but if made true, as denoted by the crown motif, there is an equal chance of any number turning up, which is not the case with dice. They were used for gambling and lotteries, the latter first becoming an acceptable means of raising money around 1568 during the reign of Elizabeth I when there was an urgent need of funds for repairs to the harbours and fortifications of the country, then under threat of invasion from the Spanish. Lotteries were later enshrined in law through various Acts of Parliament, becoming a popular and lucrative means of increasing government revenue and they were regularly conducted, both in London and the country, by appointed contractors. Lotteries were not confined to monetary prizes, stakes could also comprise jewellery, paintings, tapestries, silver, books, land and even animals, such as the live deer of Syon Park. English philosopher John Locke (1632-1704), refers to a 32sided ivory ball in his 1693 publication Some Thoughts Concerning Education, suggesting a teetotum
similar to that used for the Royal Oak Lottery, introduced by Charles I to fund the carrying of water to London, could be used to teach children to read. (1)

223* Chinese bedcover. A large Tree of Life painted silk panel or coverlet, Guangzhou [Canton]: circa 1760-1800, hand-painted on a cream silk ground, centre with a large tree on a grassy mound, with undulating branches intertwined with bamboo and bearing a multitude of peonies and other flowers, and fruit, flanked by smaller trees in flower, and numerous flowering plants, enclosed by a wide border of rocks and flowering trees, and a narrow rope device border, in shades of pink, blue, purple, green, yellow, and brown, composed of 3 vertical panels 71cm (28ins) wide, with striped red and yellow selvedges, and a narrow strip 16.5cm (6.5ins) wide, joined with hand-stitching, and hemmed all round by hand, surface a little rubbed, and occasional small marks, 320 x 231cm (126 x 91ins) A rare large and attractive panel in remarkably good condition, the colours vibrant and the fabric robust. Probably intended for use as a bedcover, such sumptuous Chinese textiles had long been highly prized and sought after by the Western market. Northern European countries particularly, and especially Britain, imported woven and embroidered silks from China for use in clothes and furnishings, and from the mid to late 18th century painted silk designs became increasingly popular. Painted coverlets such as this were typically made from cream or yellow silk, formed out of three or four loom-widths, each width commonly 28 inches wide, as here. The ‘Tree of Life’ design was a popular one, with its myriad symbolic meanings and expressive possibilities of form and colour. The V&A holds a similar bedcover from the same period (accession number T.3-1948). (1) £2,000 - £3,000

It is extremely rare for such early men’s garments to come onto the market, and although this example would benefit from some careful conservation, it appears to be largely in original condition and for the most part intact. This doublet is typical of the period, with its snug fit and belly padding giving the fashionable ‘pigeon pouter’ silhouette, and with its decorative shoulder wings, highpointed waist, and overlapping waist tabs with ties. Similar garments can be seen in the V&A, The Met, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (accession numbers 184-1900, 1978.128, 44.287a-b respectively). (1) £2,000 - £3,000

233* Clothing. An Aesthetic Movement dress, circa 1870s/80s, hand-made fulllength unstructured dove grey silk damask gown, with woven pattern of large stylised palmette leaves and branching stems with berries, with curved high waist and leg of mutton sleeves gathered to create a double puff, v-neck with hook and loop closures, small metal press stud fasteners to side opening and cuffs, and gathered waist at rear terminating in short train, occasional light staining and marks (including to underarms), some mottling of colour (mostly to hem), left-hand sleeve gather with stitching broken, one neck loop fastener broken and corresponding hook missing, bust 86cm (34ins), waist 71cm (28ins), sleeves 56cm (22ins), length at front 139.5cm (55ins), length at back 170cm (67ins) A rare and attractive dress exemplifying the short-lived minority movement away from the stiffly corseted and heavily embellished dresses of the Victorian era. Such style of dress, beloved of the Pre-Raphaelites whose paintings influenced the Aesthetes, typically featured, as here, muted tones, patterns of vegetative forms, soft pleats instead of boning, leg of mutton sleeves, and a small train. Fabrics were carefully selected to utilise skills in crafts and manufacture, as an attempt to counter the dehumanisation of the Industrial Age, and soft draping silks were favoured over stiffer materials. It wasn’t until the introduction of the tea gown around 1900 that the wearing of less restrictive garments became respectable; prior to this, women who adopted the Aesthetic Movement’s more comfortable and rather romantic mode of dressing were often considered somewhat bohemian and lacking in morals.

Prestigious Parisian couture house Philippe et Gaston was established in 1922, and by the mid 1920s it ranked alongside such notable French fashion houses as Chanel. Its heyday was the 1930s, and by 1946 the firm was in need of new inspiration. That year, wealthy French entrepreneur, Marcel Boussac, invited Christian Dior to become head designer for Philippe et Gaston, but Dior declined, preferring to launch his own label. (2) £200 - £300

The steam-powered aircraft design, with its cabin for carrying passengers, represented a landmark moment in the history of aviation; although the craft had insufficient power to actually fly, the design had an impact on early aviation engineers, and a more successful model was built in 1848 which was able to fly for small distances in a hangar. Henson and Stringfellow planned to set up an air freight company, the ‘Aerial Transit Company’ to transport goods by air around the world. Inevitably their ambitions met with some incredulity and suspicion on the part of the press and the public. As well as descriptions of the aircraft itself, the handkerchief gives an indication of public reaction, for example, one Oriental gentleman exclaims: “I’m blessed if I can make it out, its not unlike a Dragon, or a fiery Comet or a mixture of both or something else let’s bolt and save our necks”.

Cecily was daughter to the 18th Baron Saye and Sele, and the couple were married in splendour from the family seat of Broughton Castle. As a wedding present H.G. Wells modestly gifted them a signed limited edition set of his own works to date. Wells was one of a number of writers subsequently influenced by Dunne’s 1934 book An Experiment With Time which explored the notion that dreams foretell future experiences. Other writers who were interested in Dunne’s theories were J.B. Priestley, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Graham Greene and Vladimir Nabakov. (1) £100 - £150

274* Sampler. A rare painted gauze sampler of England and Wales, by Ann Mulliner, 1775, depicting the counties of England and regions of Wales with numbered and lettered keys, with part of France showing, and lettering to lower margin ‘English Chanall Ann Mulliner 1775’, worked with minute square infills of white paint on a gauze ground backed with grey fabric, each area with a different design, with outlines stitched in gold coloured thread, slightly dust-soiled and spotted in places, occasional light rubbing, small hole to upper blank margin, 46.5 x 38cm (18.25 x 15ins), giltwood frame, glazed, together with 4 small stitched samplers, including a commemorative sampler marking the birth of James Dyson, born September 21st 1827, with flower urn and heart motifs, a sampler by Adelaide Dyson, Thomas National School, Bradley, 1879, and a sampler by Martha Aslet dated January 20th 1851, plus 3 early 20th century wallet-style fabric purses, each with decorative polychromatic hand-stitching overall, comprising horizontal lines showcasing a multitude of different stitches, one incorporating metallic thread, 2 with closure loops broken, and the smallest with a few loose threads and silk lining perishing in places, largest 16 x 23.5cm (6.5 x 9.25ins), smallest 8.5 x 11.5cm (3.5 x 4.5ins), latter containing 5 small embroideries of crowns, each hand-worked in coloured wools in cross-stitch on canvas, each with a manuscript letter on card pinned to one corner (one with additional note ‘strawberry leaves not very plain’), approximately 7 x 7cm (2.75 x 2.75ins) A most unusual piece of educational handiwork; we have traced only one other painted gauze sampler offered at auction (sold in 2008, dated 1803). The techinique of filling some squares in with paint and leaving others void mimicks cross-stitch but gives a lace-like effect. Each county or area is worked in a different pattern, and it must have been every bit as painstaking to achieve as the finest stitched samplers. (13) £400 - £600

276* Sewing. A large expanding whalebone swift, early-mid 19th century, double-cage umbrella swift, turned ivory yarn cup supported on a whalebone shaft with turned barrel-form wooden clamp (later?), expanding whalebone slats held by pewter rivets and joined with silk ribbons of varying colours (1 or 2 lacking), 1 slat adrift, and another broken (with slight loss), overall length 44cm (17.25ins), diameter when fully open 61cm (24ins), together with a small collection of wooden sewing tools, including another yarn winder, some broken or incomplete Swifts were elaborate contraptions used to wind skeins of yarn into balls. The cage, made from wood or whalebone, was designed to open up and expand and spin on its central spindle. Examples made of whalebone were often fashioned by sailors as gifts for their sweethearts. References in whaler’s logbooks indicate that it would typically take two or three years to make a swift while at sea, so a sailor would often make only one in his lifetime, and its gifting was not done lightly. Sometimes more than one crew member might work on such a project, and it is not surprising that unfinished swifts lurking in old sea chests are not uncommon. Many swifts were carved with a clamp so that they could be affixed to the edge of a table. Others were incorporated into bases that featured drawers, pincushions, or spool holders. (9) £200 - £400

During the Second World War Jacqmar’s of Mayfair produced a number of different scarf designs with themes reflecting the state of the country at war; these are now all highly collectable, and examples are held by the Imperial War Museum and the V&A. Such scarves were morale boosters, and made for the export as well as home market. They were often bought as gifts for sweethearts, and a scarf could transform an outfit or add some glamour at a much lower cost than say a new dress, although Jacqmar was an upmarket label. Their most sought after and famous scarves of the war years were designed by Arnold Lever, and he continued his work for the company even after being called up and joining the RAF. After the war he established his own design studio, where he did work for Liberty, amongst others. (2) £100 - £150

330* Attributed to Giovanni Francesco Romanelli (1610-1662). Moses striking water from the rock, circa 1640-50, large-scale composition in pen and brown ink with brown wash over black chalk, on two conjoined sheets of laid paper, with watermark of an anchor within a circle with letters (J M ?) and star above (similar to Gravell Anchor 440.1 or 442.1), additional studies in black chalk of Carita Romana to verso, neat archival restorations to sheet edges and central crease, with some small losses, sheet size 390 x 532mm (15.3 x 21ins) Provenance: Chiswick Auctions, Old Master Paintings and Drawings, 27 August 2020, lot 31. Drawings by Romanelli are often executed in pen and brown wash over black chalk, as here. The present work may relate to the series of four paintings on the life of Moses by Romanelli’s teacher Pietro da Cortona, and Nicolas Poussin, commisioned by Amadeo dal Pozzo, Marchese di Voghera of Turin, a cousin to the scholar, antiquary and secretary to Cardinal Barberini, Cassiano dal Pozzo. For a similar work see Ciro Ferri (1634-1689), Moses striking water from the rock, black chalk, (Royal Collections Trust, see Blunt & Cooke, The Roman Drawings of the XVII and XVIII Centuries in the Collection of Her Majesty the Queen at Windsor Castle, 1960, 125). An engraving after this drawing by the printmaker Pietro Aquila (1650-1692) was published by Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi in Rome in the 1670’s. After first studying under Domenichino, Romanelli entered the studio of Pietro da Cortona, whose style greatly influenced his own. From 1631, while working as Cortona’s assistant on the decoration of the Palazzo Barberini in Rome (purchased in 1625 by Maffeo Barberini, later Pope Urban VIII), Romanelli contributed to the major ceiling fresco of Divine Providence as well as the decoration of the private chapel, where the Adoration of the Shepherds is generally attributed to him in its entirety (1632-39). Pope Urban VIII also commissioned Romanelli for a number of other works intended for the Vatican: the St Peter Healing the Sick, now in the Museo Storico Artistico, Vatican (1636-37), the frescoes depicting the life of Matilda of Tuscany (for the Sala della Contessa Matilda,163742), and the ceiling fresco Pasce oves meas for the Galleria delle Carte Geografiche (1638). The Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple, painted in 1638-42 for the Cappella Colonna in St Peter’s (now in Santa Maria degli Angeli), was the artist’s first major public altarpiece. As superintendent of the Barberini tapestry manufactory, Romanelli also made cartoons for the series of seven tapestries of Putti with Swags, in imitation of Raphael’s famous set of tapestries made for Leo X, as well as the cartoons for a second series of tapestries representing the Life of Christ, in the Palazzo Barberini, Rome (both series 1637-43).

Swiss draftsman, painter and etcher Johann Caspar Zehender is bestknown for his panoramic landscapes, particularly those of the area around Frankfurt and Mainz in Germany, executed around 1770-1784. His great patron was the Frankfurt art collector Johann Christian Gerning (1745-1802). It appears to have been Gurning’s idea, towards the end of the 1760s, to publish a multi-volume work with copperplate engravings of Frankfurt and the surrounding area, employing Zehender as the artist. Many years of work by Zehender produced a large portfolio of drawings - now in The Historial Museum of Frankfurt am Main - titled: Die angenehme Lage der Stadt Frankfurt am Mayn, vorgestellet in vielen Handzeichnungen dieser Stadt und Gegend, gesammlet von Johann Christian Gerning daselbst in den Jahren 1771, 1772 und 1773 (The pleasant location of the city of Frankfurt am Mayn, presented in many hand drawings of this city and area, collected there by Johann Christian Gerning in 1771, 1772 and 1773). For reasons now unknown the work was never published, although Zehender apparently drew duplicates of some of the views for private individuals, a few of which are now in institutions or private collections.

Literature: George Vertue, Notebook IV, Walpole Society, volume XXIV, 1936. Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466 – 1536) was the most famous Dutch humanist of his day. A noted theologian and classical scholar, he published new editions in Latin and Greek of the New Testament, and his sermons and satirical writings were widely disseminated. Although he was critical of the Catholic Church, he never officially joined Luther and the other reformers, preferring instead to work for change as a priest within the Church. Called the “Prince of Humanists,” Erasmus was widely admired, and portraits of him were in great demand throughout Europe. Erasmus and Holbein were close friends who become acquainted when both were living in Basel. It was there in 1523 that Holbein painted two important portraits of his friend, one of which is in the Musée du Louvre, Paris, and the other in the collection of the Earl of Radnor, Longford Castle, Salisbury. The latter portrait served as the model for subsequent images, which were produced in three different versions: a half-length view of Erasmus holding a book, either open or closed; a half-length figure with overlapping hands, exemplified by the painting from the Robert Lehman Collection; and a bust-length roundel of which the primary example is in the Kunstmuseum Basel. The Lehman Collection type, the most popular, inspired further copies, namely those from the workshop of Lucas Cranach the Elder after 1535 and others by Georg Pencz dated 1536 – 37. While in the Arundel Collection during the sixteenth century, the Lehman portrait was engraved by Lucas Vorsterman, then exiled in England, and this engraving was copied later by Andries Stock in a print dated 1628 made in The Hague. This particular image of Erasmus also served as the model for a woodcut in Sebastian Münster’s Cosmographia Universalis, the earliest German description of the world, published in Basel in 1550.

Barry produced few portraits, but personal connections may have prompted this one, as artist and sitter lived in the same street. This work closely resembles another copy of Barry's portrait by George Perfect Harding held by the Wellcome Collection: a grisaille watercolour signed 'Harding' and dated 1806 (Wellcome Library no. 7481i).

Accompanied by a letter of provenance from P.J.S. Boggis to the current owner dated 26th March 1979, attributing the drawings to his great uncle James Boggis “who had artistic talents of a high order & was born in 1806 and lived at Earls Colne in Essex”, going on to say “Colchester was the family home of my ancestors (our family tomb is there as well as a museum named ‘The House of Boggis’) & since the drawings were more than likely a family handown I would think the scenes depicted were of the Essex countryside.” James Macdonald Boggis was the eldest of 4 sons of Isaac Rolfe Boggis and his wife, Elizabeth Mayor (née Stubbs). A semi-invalid owing to a heart condition, he was a scholar at Peterhouse College, Cambridge, and was known as ‘Blue Boggis’. He was an artist in oils and watercolours and exhibited his works at various London galleries. As well as the aforementioned Earl’s Colne, James Boggis also resided at Langham Hall and Little Horkesley Priory, both in Essex. The drawings are skilfully executed and clearly carefully observed from nature, suggesting the artist was well taught, perhaps by one of the Norwich School painters, several of whom at this time earnt a living as teachers of drawing.

Dickinsons is most likely the firm of artists and publishers founded by the Dickinson brothers in New Bond Street, London, as mentioned by Cuthbert Bradley in ‘Good Sport seen with some Famous Packs 1885-1910’, in which he describes making studies in the Badminton and Althorp kennels for a large picture later published by ‘Messrs. Dickinson of Bond Street in 1900’. Although the Dickinson brothers had ceased their formal links to the firm in 1876, the new owner continued using the name ‘Dickinsons’ long after. It is therefore possible that these pictures are either by, or after, studies by Cuthbert Bradley, who mentions both Potentate and Marquis in his book. In his companion publication The Foxhound of the Twentieth Century there is a reproduction of a study taken of Potentate, which has many similarities to the painting offered here. (2) £300 - £500

The group of woodcuts ‘Aspects of Old Bromley’ were likely produced during Graham Clarke’s time at the Royal College of Art in the early 1960s. Edward Bawden, one of his tutors, encouraged Clarke to experiment with creating woodcuts. In Clare Sydney’s biography of Clarke she describes how “he cut some miniature views of Bromley, which Bawden ‘was kind enough to mistake for wood engravings’” (p.45), and she relates how Clarke’s thirdyear project for the college was entitled ‘Social Aspects of Bromley’, in which he tried to make a record of the old Bromley that was “being quietly and quickly” removed. ‘Shoreham’ is a miniature copy of the much larger (12 x 48 ins) woodcut that Graham Clarke produced using a plank of lime wood given to him at college by Edward Bawden, as described and illustrated on pp.44-45 of Clare Sydney’s biography of Clarke. The landscape around Shoreham held a particular attraction for Clarke, who describes his discovery of “this little valley of vision” and the associated paintings of Samuel Palmer as a “great turning point” in his development (p.32).

Judith Shakespeare (1585-1662) was the second daughter of William Shakespeare and twin to Hamnet, who died in August 1596. Judith survived, and at the relatively advanced age of 31 married Thomas Quiney, the 26 year old son of a prominent local family. The pair were married on the 10th February 1616, her father having drawn up a will in January, in the first draft of which ‘my sonne in law’ is referred to. One month after the marriage Quiney’s mistress, Margaret Wheeler, gave birth to his son, both of whom died shortly afterwards.Thomas was tried by the church court and sentenced to stand in front of the congregation of Holy Trinity church for three Sundays dressed in a white sheet. Shakespeare saw his lawyer again on 25 March to draw up a revised will : the reference to Thomas Quiney was struck out and Judith’s name inserted instead - Judith was to inherit £100, a cottage, and if she or her children were alive after three years a further £150 of which she should receive the interest. By this time Judith was also pregnant and, after William himself died in April, gave birth to a son in November, whom she named Shakespeare, in her father’s memory. Judith continued to live in Stratford all her life, and died in 1662 at the age of 77. According to the printed label to verso, Woodlock had by 1916 exhibited 17 times at the Royal Academy, with two works also purchased for the permanent collection at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.

Celebrated socialite Alice Sidonie Milbank Vandenburg née Baruch (circa 1840-1916) was said to be blessed with beauty "almost legendary". Her first marriage, to Edmund Charles, Marquis de Belleroche, was an unhappy one, although it produced a son, artist Albert Gustave de Belleroche. In 1871 she married Harry Vane Milbank, a celebrated duellist, huntsman and adventurer as well as an inveterate gambler. The family moved to Paris, where they entertained on a lavish scale, noted personalities such as Oscar Wilde, Edward VII, and John Singer Sargent frequenting their soirées.

CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account. 3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 20% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 20% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 20% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission. 4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared. 5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due. 6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.
7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded. 8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer. 9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof. 10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to theAuctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions. 11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage.
