A PRIVATE COLLECTION OF ANCIENT NEAR-EASTERN CYLINDER SEALS The collection of antiquities offered here shows the development of cylinder seals from simple geometric patterns found prior to 3200 BC to later pictorial scenes representing daily life, often featuring animals both domestic and wild. Cylinder seals first appeared in Sumer (modern day Iraq) during the second half of the 4th millennium BC, probably to facilitate long-distance trade. Each is unique and acted as the owner’s ‘signature’ in an era before writing had been developed. When rolled into clay the impression made would convey the concept of private ownership, an important stage in early commerce. By the late 3rd millennium BC these seals were being rolled onto clay cuneiform tablets, which themselves were the first written documents. This important collection put together by a local Cotswolds collector over the past 50 years through purchases from private collectors, specialist dealers in London, and regional auctions (including the 1989 Summerfield Collection sale in Cheltenham) includes Sumerian, Akkadian and Babylonian cylinder and stamp seals, as well as amulets and other objects dating from Early Dynastic times to the later Sasanian period. Every effort has been made to identify each piece, even though some types, particularly Pre-Dynastic stamp seals, are notoriously difficult to date. Those with cuneiform inscriptions have been translated by the late Wilfred G. Lambert, Professor of Assyriology at University of Birmingham. Each seal includes its rolled or impressed mark. For further reading see Dominique Collon, First Impressions: Cylinder Seals in the Ancient Near East, British Museum Press, 1987. 174* Sumerian quartz cylinder seal, Jeddet Nasr Period, circa 3100-2900 BC, drilled hole technique, rows of spouted jars, 13mm x 15mm, together with Jemdet Nasr Period, circa 3000 BC, white marble four dwarf figures, 20mm x 17mm (2)

Berlin woolwork, or embroidery on canvas by means of copying a coloured chart, became very popular in the 19th century. Prior to the introduction of Berlin patterns it was very rare to find needlework designs with any indication of colour choices or threads. Berlin patterns were always coloured by hand at first, until the emergence of industrial printing techniques, and early charts such as these are now hard to find. (approx.50) £200-300

An attractive and interesting collection of bobbins, a large number of which have names and inscriptions. Of particular interest are ‘hanging bobbins’ which were inscribed with the name of the criminal and the year of their execution, and sold as gruesome souvenirs of the event. They seem to be associated only with the East Midlands lacemaking industry, and particularly Bedfordshire. William Bull, an agricultural labourer, was only 21 when, on 29th November 1870, he murdered Sarah Marshall at Little Staughton in Bedfordshire. The victim was a weak old woman of low intelligence who was often the butt of village children’s pranks. On the night in question Bull had been drinking at the pub and, on parting company with his friend, said he was going to call on Sally and cause a ‘to-do’. The next morning she was found brutally beaten to death. Bull was arrested two days later and traces of blood were found on his clothes. He was convicted at Bedford Assizes, sentenced to death by Mr. Justice Campbell, and confessed his guilt before being hanged by William Calcraft, an outcome which met with much public satisfaction. Public hangings had been abolished in 1868 so Bull was hung in private at Bedford Prison on April 3rd 1871. (43) £300-500

A particularly detailed example of a map sampler, with an interesting number of coastal locations named, for example: ‘The Man and his Man’; ‘Cow and Calf’; ‘Bishop and his clerks’; ‘Ireland’s Eye’; ‘Maidens’; ‘The Spaw’; ‘St Bees Hd’; ‘Well Bank’; ‘Kentish Knock’; ‘Bobbs Nose’; ‘Deadman Pt’. Of especial interest is the unusual mention of a shipwreck, stitched in black within a green border, off the north coast of Cornwall: ‘Sir cloudsley shovel was wreck’d near this place A.D 1707’. The notoriously treacherous seas around the Isles of Scilly are the site of a great many shipwrecks which have occurred over the centuries; in fact there are 530 registered wrecks around the archipelago. The best known is probably the shipwrecking of the Association on 22nd October 1707. She was part of Sir Cloudesley Shovell’s English Fleet that took part in the seige of Toulon and ran aground on the Gilstone Ledges near Bishop Rock, sinking along with three other ships, HMS Eagle, HMS Romney and HMS Firebrand. Nearly 2,000 sailors were lost that night, and the incident was recorded as one of the greatest maritime disasters in British history. Shovell’s body and those of both his stepsons were all found in Porthellick Cove on St Mary’s, almost seven miles from where the ship was wrecked. He was temporarily buried there, but later interred in Westminster Abbey. The tragedy excited much public interest and a number of stories sprang up surrounding it. Local legend has it that Shovell was alive when he reached the shore but was murdered by a woman for the sake of his priceless emerald ring, the woman apparently confessing on her deathbed 30 years later. Another legend alleges that a sailor (a Scilly native) tried to warn Shovell that the fleet was off course but Shovell had him hanged at the yardarm for inciting mutiny. The maker of this sampler was no doubt fascinated by the story of the wreck and its associated grisly tales, and although the Scillies are not shown, she determinedly stitched details of the wreck in the sea above Cornwall.

306* Felix (Auguste, active 1850-1870). A large collection of original designs for hats, 87 pen, ink, and watercolour designs on wove paper (many of the 87 sheets with the design shown from two different angles), some highlighted in gold, several uncoloured (or with only a touch of watercolour), mostly for hats and headdresses, but some for jewellery, stoles, veils, and other accoutrements of dress, many dated variously 1860-1869 in neat contemporary manuscript to lower margin or beneath on album leaf, and some with caption names in the same hand e.g. Omphale, Marie Therèse, Diva, Niska, Circassienne, Florentine, Bienvenue, Comète, Donna Garcia, Toque Grecque, Baudelette Greques, Senorita, approximately 10 x 14cm (4.25 x 5.5ins) and slightly smaller, some light toning and marks in places, 21 mounted (some in double aperture mounts), five mounted, framed, and glazed, most of remainder laid down on album leaves, housed together in a large green cloth solander box (rubbed and marked) Little seems to be known about Felix Auguste, although he was associated with the House of Worth, one of the most important fashion houses in Paris in the 19th century. The founder of the company was Charles Frederick Worth (1825-1895), the English dressmaker accredited with being the father of haute couture. His designs dominated the Paris fashion scene in the second half of the 19th century and well into the 20th. Later, Auguste Felix worked as a fashion designer for Parisian couturier Paul Poiret (1879-1944). His designs are drawn with great delicacy and his creations were inventive and often witty. The Victoria & Albert Museum and the Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art hold examples of his watercolours, which rarely come onto the market. Indeed, such a large collection of his work at auction is unprecedented. (87) £1000-1500

Two Laburnham wood cabinets & several other things bearing Charles’ [...?] initials were also left at Rushbrooke, the old House of Mabel Davies Cooke’s mother (Fanny Louisa Eyres) who was born there, her mother being Louisa Elizabeth Rushbrooke. The Cabinets are now in State Apartments at Windsor.’ Highly decorated aprons like this one were not intended to be protective garments; rather they were an opportunity to add an element of sumptuous embellishment which could both demonstrate the fine sewing skills of the wearer and indicate her wealth and position in society. The Jermyns of Rushbrooke Hall, near Bury St. Edmunds, were a prominent Royalist family. Sir Thomas Jermyn (1573-1645) was Comptroller of the Household between 1639 and 1641, and his son Henry Lord Jermyn, Earl of St. Albans (1605-1684) was a life-long friend of Queen Henrietta Maria, fulfilling variously the roles of Vice-Chamberlain, Master of the Horse and Lord Chamberlain. He was at her side throughout the various campaigns of the Civil War, and it was even rumoured that the pair were married in secret, with a contemporary report asserting that all the Queen’s children were Jermyn’s bastards. It is believed that the aforementioned cabinets were presented by Henrietta Maria to Lord Jermyn in 1665. On his death his will directed that the cabinets be taken to Rushbrooke Hall, the then residence of his nephew Sir Thomas Jermyn, where they were noted in an inventory of 1759. They were sold at Christie’s in 1910 to Lord Rothschild and his brothers, who presented them to King George V and Queen Mary shortly after their Coronation, and today they reside in The Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace.

314* Hood. A linen hood, probably English, 1634, unlined hood of white linen, finely hand-stitched, composed of a large piece of linen shaped to form the crown, with six triangular gussets, and a wide brim of doubled linen, latter stitched in white ‘ME 1634’, one very small hole, and a 1” section of wear with a few small holes, a few other pinprick holes, length 49.5cm (19.5ins) An extremely scarce finely worked 17th century hood in a remarkable state of preservation. Only a few of these linen hoods survive in museum collections (see the V&A and Manchester Galleries), and they are very rarely seen in portraiture of the time which emphasises the formal attire of the aristocracy. We have not been able to trace another example which is initialled and dated. The V&A entry states that the short gap between the crown of the hood and the top of the insertions suggest that it was worn with a ruff, although in our example the gap appears to be somewhat longer.

The ribbon detail and small heels of the first item make this a pretty and more unusual pair of Regency shoes. (2 pairs) £300-400

Provenance: the first item was given to the current owner by Sylvia Jones, who received it from Bertrand, 3rd Earl Russell (1872-1970), who apparently had used it on his armchair. Bertrand Russell was a close friend of Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, architect and creator of the Italiante village of Portmeirion in North Wales, and he lived at Plas Penrhyn near to Portmeirion from 1955 until his death. Sylvia Jones was a neighbour and friend of Bertrand Russell. (4) £100-200

The first pair of shoes are in such clean condition that, in view of the inscription, it is likely they were tucked away by the bride after her wedding day and not worn again. The second item is intriguing for its ownership inscription, the most famous Miss Pakenham being Kitty, who became the Duchess of Wellington ten years after Arthur Wellesley had first proposed to her and been deemed an unsuitable match by her family. After a decade of successful campaigns the suitor was seen in a different light by the Pakenhams and Wellesley honoured his proposal despite Kitty having (in Arthur’s words to his brother) “grown ugly, by Jove!”. The marriage was an unhappy one, as the couple were entirely unsuited. (3 pairs) £300-400

EVELYN DE MORGAN (1855-1919) Drawings from the Clayton-Stamm Collection

458* De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). The Angel of Death, 1885, gold coloured pastel and black chalk on dark grey-brown wove paper, depicting a young woman seated on a rocky stepped plinth, her eyes half-closed, and her arms placed on the left arm of an angel who stoops over her and carries a scythe, monogrammed ‘EP’ and dated 1885 in gold lower right, 44.5 x 36.5cm (17.5 x 14.5ins), mounted, framed and glazed, with remains of old manuscript label on backboard ‘The Angel of Death, Not for sale, De Morgan, 1 The Vale, Kings Rd, Chelsea’ Evelyn and William De Morgan lived at 1 The Vale in Chelsea for 22 years. At that time a number of artists resided in close proximity in and around the area of The Vale: the De Morgans rented their house to Walter Sickert and his Chelsea Life School when they were on their travels abroad; James Whistler lived at 2 The Vale, which was subsequently occupied by Charles Ricketts who began the Vale Press there; on the same side of the Vale, close to the King’s Road, was a chapel which was for a time the studio of sculptor Thomas Stirling Lee; and others who were not far away include Augustus John, Cecil Hunt, John Da Costa and Charles Maresco Pearce. Evelyn De Morgan painted two oils titled ‘The Angel of Death’. One was executed in 1880, and exhibited in 1881 at the Grosvenor Gallery, London, and it is now in the De Morgan Foundation (‘Evelyn De Morgan, oil paintings’, DMF, plate 8). The other, dated 1890, was destroyed in 1991 when a fire raged through Bourlet’s art storage unit in London where some of the De Morgan Foundation’s art collection was held (plate 37). This remarkable study was executed, therefore, in the interim period between these two works, whilst the artist was as yet unmarried. It is one of a small number of works by the artist executed in gold on dark wove paper. Apart from one such study in Leighton House Museum (‘Victoria Dolorosa’), almost all other known studies in gold pastel are held by the De Morgan Foundation, and none, to our knowledge, has ever before appeared at auction. Only a small number of artists used this technique, Edward Burne-Jones being one of them. It is generally believed that such works were final detailed compositional studies. Given that the artist was so prolific and meticulous in producing studies for her full-scale oils, it is perhaps not surprising that this view has come into existence. However, the De Morgan Foundation acknowledges that ‘These pieces can be considered works of art in their own right and it is apparent that Evelyn often sold them as such’. Given this, and the fact that our study post-dates the initial oil of the same subject it now seems quite certain that such a work was done either for the artist’s own pleasure (as seems to be the case here), or as a gift for, or commission from, an admirer of the oil painting. It is interesting to note that in the original oil the female figure gazes upwards with unseeing eyes which are clearly open, whereas here the young woman’s gaze is downwards with her eyes half-closed, as it is in the later oil painting of 1890. As is typical of Evelyn’s studies in gold, the background detail is pared away, and the figures, in all their beauty, come into stark relief. The De Morgans were very interested in spiritualism, and especially angels, as evidenced in much of the symbolism of Evelyn’s work. The gentleness of the angel’s touch, and grateful embrace of the frail girl is underlined by the weeds symbolising a hard life, and the spring flowers indicating joy to come. (1) £8000-12000

The oil painting depicts a hamadryad, a type of nymph in Greek mythology born bonded to a particular tree. The nymph is seen emerging from the tree, with her foot still hidden inside the tree's trunk, and unusually, the artist painted on wood panel, rather than canvas, presumably to echo the theme of the work. This preparatory figure study shows Evelyn working out the precise placement of the limbs and perspective of the flexed left leg; the pose of the figure in the final work differs little from this study.

Although a half-length portrait, the body of the woman is drawn in outline, whilst the face is highly finished, with the extraordinary depth of expression and assured draughtmanship for which the artist had such talent.

467* De Morgan (Evelyn, 1855-1919). Male nude, charcoal on laid paper, full-length male nude wearing a loin cloth, leaning against a high stool, and gazing down to one side, inscribed in pencil lower right ‘Mrs. Barrington’ (stain over inscription), partial watermark lower left ‘[...]arais’ some slight creasing and fraying to edges, sheet size 51.5 x 41cm (20.25 x 16ins), together with three other slightly larger charcoal drawings on paper similar, all full-length studies, the first of the same model, with some additional small sketches to sheet, including a vignette of a horse, watermarked ‘Michallet’ and with monogram ‘SM’, some edge-creasing, dusty and damp-soiled, the second of a muscular male nude in a loin cloth, leaning both hands to one side on a ledge, creased at edges, damp-soiled and frayed lower right (just encroaching on image), the third of a young male seated, edge-frayed, damp-soiled and torn to upper left blank corner, watermarked ‘I Versay’ These highly accomplished drawings were executed whilst Evelyn De Morgan was a student at the Slade School of Art. Evelyn enrolled at the Slade in 1873 - one of the first three women to enrol - after spending a short time at the South Kensington National Art Training School. Study of the living model was considered of paramount importance to the education of each student at the Slade, and Evelyn’s life drawings from this period demonstrate a level of skill and understanding of the human anatomy surprising for one so young. Her skilful draughtsmanship was acknowledged by numerous awards which she received during her time at the Slade. The De Morgan Foundation holds a number of similar life drawings in the same condition as those offered here. A forceful and highly-strung woman, Emilie Barrington was an art critic and novelist chiefly remembered for her biographies of G.F. Watts and Frederic Leighton. She was an amateur artist, taking drawing lessons from Arthur Hughes, and assimilated herself into the artistic and literary circles of the day. It is curious that Mrs. Barrington’s name appears on one of the studies offered here; there appears to be little known about her relationship with the De Morgans, although we do know that Evelyn, accompanied by the writer Violet Paget, went to lunch at Emilie Barrington’s in 1883, after which they visited the studios of Watts and Leighton.

473 Burne-Jones (Edward Coley, 1833-1898). An important series of 17 autograph letters to Eleanor Warren, Lady Leighton (1841-1914), 26 July 1881-27 March 1884, consisting of 17 autograph letters from Burne-Jones to Lady Leighton, on writing paper headed The Grange, West Kensington, W (except one on paper headed Ashley Cottage, Walton-on-Thames, the home of Sir George Lewis, the famous solicitor and patron of the arts), including 15 with original handwritten envelope, postmarked (except two without stamp and postmark, presumed hand-delivered), together with a telegram from Burne-Jones to Lady Leighton, and two autograph letters from Lady Leighton to BurneJones, on unheaded writing paper (one with original envelope), letters typically a single folded sheet, written on both sides, all now mounted on white backing paper A significant sequence of correspondence between the Pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Burne-Jones and Eleanor Warren, who married Sir Baldwyn Leighton, M.P., 8th Baronet of Loton, Shropshire in 1864. She was the sister of John Byrne Leicester Warren, 3rd Baron de Tabley, of Tabley Hall, Cheshire, and held the Tabley estate in trust for her son Cuthbert, following her brother’s death. The Leighton’s London residence was 49 Upper Brook Street, Grosvenor Square, London. Eleanor had met Burne-Jones at Downing Street in 1877 (the year her husband was elected a Conservative M.P.), and developed a close friendship that lasted until the artist’s death in 1898, culminating in a commission from her for a stained glass window designed by Burne-Jones commemorating Eleanor’s siblings at Tabley Chapel. The letters reveal the important role she played in assisting the artist with his work, discussing his art, and exchanging opinions on people and politics. Moreover, she became an important source to Burne-Jones for suggestions of old English flower names for an important sequence of small circular flower studies illustrating the names of flowers, undertaken between 1882 and 1898, known as The Flower Book (now in the British Museum). From her estate she supplied Burne-Jones with briars for his Briar Rose series (see Memorials of Burne-Jones, volume 1, page 145), and almond blossom for his painting The Tree of Forgiveness, painted in the winter of 1881, and exhibited the following spring at the Grosvenor Gallery : ‘and O if I might have the real veritable & true bit of almond blossom by bearer & then I should want no more in all my life’ (from a Burne-Jones letter to Lady Leighton included here). The letters refer several times to Burne-Jones’ progress with ‘Demophon’ (The Tree of Forgiveness), the title of which was apparently suggested by Lady Leighton herself : ‘I thought I had told you that you have to be the godmother to that picture - & now it is in print is it? Yes - that is a lovely name for it & will be understanded of the people better than if I called it by their names - thank you for that.’ (Burne-Jones letter to Lady Leighton, postmarked May 26, 1882, included here).

The Mayer family assumed the most likely painting of Kaia by Matisse was Jeune Anglaise (Young English Woman), but the sitter has no facial features and it has not been confirmed. In 1949 Kaia married an English social anthropologist and moved to London, but also travelled with him on various research and teaching visits to India, Australia, Fiji and Mexico. She studied art at the Byam Shaw School and St Martin’s School of Art and later at the Camden Institute. (9) £200-300

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS AFTER THE AUCTION Online Results: If you weren’t present or able to follow the auction live, you can find results for the sale on our website shortly after the sale has ended. Payment: The price you pay is the amount at which the auctioneer’s hammer falls (the hammer price), plus a buyer’s premium (a percentage of the final hammer price) and vat where applicable. You will be issued with an invoice made out to the name and address provided on your registration form. Please note successful bids made via live bidding cannot be invoiced or paid for until the day after an auction. A live bidding fee of 3% + vat will be added to your invoice.

METHODS OF PAYMENT Cheque: Cheques will only be accepted on the day of the sale by prior arrangement (please contact our office for further information). Cheques by post will be accepted but a period of 5 working days will be required for the cheque to clear before purchases can be collected or posted. Cash: Payments can be made at the Cashier’s Office, either during or after the sale. Debit Card: There is no additional charge for purchases made with debit cards in the UK. Credit Cards: We accept Visa and Mastercard. It is advisable to let your card provider know in advance if you are intending to purchase. This reduces the time needed to obtain authorisation when the payment is made. Bank Transfer: All transfers must state the relevant invoice number. If transferring from a foreign currency, the amount we receive must be the total due after the currency conversion and the deduction of any bank charges. Note to Overseas Clients: All payments must be made by bank transfer only. No card payments will be accepted unless by special prior arrangements with the auctioneers. Collection/Postage/Delivery: If you attend the auction in person and are successful in your bid, you are free to collect your item once payment has been made. Successful commission or live bids will be invoiced to you the day after the sale. When it is possible for our in-house packing department to send your purchase(s), a charge for postage/packing/insurance will be included in your invoice. Where it is not possible for our in-house packing department to send your item you will be required to make your own arrangements or to contact Mailboxes etc (tel: 01793 525009) or Pack and Send (tel: 01635 887237) who may be able to help. We provide a monthly delivery service to Central London, usually on Wednesday of the week following an auction. Payment must be received before this option can be requested. A charge will be added to your invoice for this service.

ARTIST'S RESALE RIGHT LAW ("DROIT DE SUITE") Lots marked with AR next to the lot number may be subject to Droit de Suite. Droit de Suite is payable on the hammer price of any artwork sold in the lifetime of the artist, or within 70 years of the artist's death. The buyer agrees to pay Dominic Winter Auctioneers Ltd. an amount equal to the resale royalty and we will pay such amount to the artist's collecting agent. Resale royalty applies where the Hammer price is 1,000 Euros or more and the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euros per lot. The amount is calculated as follows: Royalty For the Portion of the Hammer Price (in Euros) 4.00% up to 50,000 3.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,000 1.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,000 0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000 Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/Euro rate of exchange will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale. Please refer to the DACS website www.dacs.org.uk and the Artists’ Collecting Society website www.artistscollectingsociety.org for further details.

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. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the lower estimate, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions. 12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses. 13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots. 14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein. 15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
