In 1948 the Duke of Windsor was photographed in Havana, Cuba wearing an identical straw boater, accompanied by the Duchess. He liked to wear boaters though they had fallen out of fashion generally. He was to wear them all his life.

In a ‘Family Album’ he described how he tried without success to launch a fashion for boater hats in the 1920s, which he hoped might raise the flagging fortunes of the Luton straw hat industry.

An advertisement of the period read: ‘BOATERS AHOY’!

Two boaters afloat in Leicester Square God Bless the Prince of Wales!

Now you bright young things who always swear Whatever the task entails To follow his lead - your duty indeed Is clear and simple, Tis that No matter what urgent claims may plead You purchase a new boater hat. £1200 - 1800

27 A fine blue silk and gold thread reticule bearing the cypher of Queen Caroline, circa 1820-21, with finely cast gilt metal frame with fruits and dolphins, large gilt thread fuchsia blossom tassels, gilt metal chain strap, lined in pale blue silk, 24cm, 9 ½in long overall

Princess Caroline of Brunswick (1768-1821) was the estranged wife of King George IV. In 1820 he acceded to the throne, but detested her so much that he refused to allow her to attend his coronation.

However, she was hugely popular with the British public who despised the profligate King. She fell ill soon after and died in London in 1821. The cause of her death was never properly established. £600 - 800

FASHION AND ACCESSORIES 1600s-2010s 28 A fine and rare blue watered silk cape, English, 1660s, of simple semi-circular construction formed from two almost invisible horizontally joined loom widths, edged in silver bobbin lace worked with tulip repeats, cast white metal clasp (probably silver but un-marked), lined in ivory silk, 226cm, 89in long; with two handwritten notes stating that the cape belonged to Mary Grove of Zeals House, a gift of King Charles II, the other that it had belonged to King Charles I (3)

It is unclear whether this cape was intended for wear by a woman or man. The delicate clasp is suggestive of a female wearer, as is the narrow diameter of the neck. However it could have been worn by a young man as the the semi-circular cape was de rigueur as part of the gentleman’s outfit of the time consisting of doublet, breeches and the curve of a cape to finish the silhouette.

Blue was a colour often worn for celebrations or christenings.

Provenance: Waddon House, Dorset, the home of the Chaffyn-Grove (Troyte Bullock) family since 1226. Records lodged in the Wiltshire Record Office with reference to other properties include Zeals and Mere (1226-1786), Edgehill (1657-1786), Chisenbury in Enford 1682 and 1739. This family was closely linked with the reigns of Kings Charles I and Charles II via Hugh Grove, who fought on the Royalist side and was beheaded in 1655 and also via Colonel Bullen Reymes (1613-72), who served under the corrupt 2nd Duke of Buckingham, George Villiers, who was Gentleman of the Bedchamber between 1631 and 1634.

Bullen Reymes, a famed lute player and consummate gentleman was known as the ‘Conscientious Cavalier’ and is recorded in the diaries of Samuel Pepys. He was made Surveyor of the Great Wardrobe in 1667 at an annual salary of £300 and was acclaimed at court for his good management. Samuel Pepys wrote that he ‘...has already saved a great deal of money in the King’s liveries and buy linens so cheap that he will have them by the next cloth he hath for shirts.’ Pepys’ diaries January 29th 1668.

There is a record of a marriage settlement between Harry Chafin of Zeals to Anne Reymes (the wealthy widow of Bullen Reymes, the Colonel’s son) dated 1697, 1698 and 1699. Waddon is recorded as coming into the Chaffyn-Grove family in 1700. In addition Thomas Fuller (1608-1661) married Hugh Grove’s daughter Eleanor of Chisenbury c.1640. She died in 1641. He became chaplain to King Charles II.

28

During the civil war Hugh Grove fought on the Royalist side and took up arms with Penruddock in the abortive insurrection of 1655. With about two hundred followers they occupied Salisbury. They then marched into Dorset and proclaimed for Charles II at Blandford, but not finding themselves joined by the country people as they expected, endeavoured to make their way into Cornwall where they believed they would find support for the King. At South Molton in North Devon they were surprised in their quarters on the night of March 14th

by Captain Unton Croke of Colonel Berry’s regiment. Penruddock and Grove were captured and sent for trial at Exeter and despite their pleas against the charge of treason, both were executed on the 16th May 1655. Mary Grove (d.1724) was Hugh Grove’s daughter in law, being married to his son John in 1686 (d.1699). She was heiress to William Chafin of Zeals. £6000 - 10000

154 Celia wearing lot 153 At the unusually early age of 13, Celia passed the exam to go to Salford Art School, where she studied textiles, lithography and pottery and learned to make and print her own fabrics. She decided that textile design was to be her future career. It was in Manchester in 1959 that she first met her husband to be – Ossie Clark who was studying fashion at the Regional College of Art. Celia moved to London in 1961 and Ossie followed her to study fashion at the Royal College of Art in 1962. In Vogue’s August 1965, whilst still at the college, he was featured as a rising star. Ossie and Celia’s first commercial design collaboration began in 1965 at ‘Quorum’ - Alice Pollock’s trendy boutique in Chelsea. Ossie joined Quorum as designer and partner and Alice commissioned Celia to design a fabric collection for them. The combination of Ossie’s cutting skills with Celia’s colourful prints were an instant success. Celia became his muse and in 1969 they were married Celia’s collection charts their career together and apart and range from one of Ossie Clark’s earliest pop-art influenced mini dresses (made for Celia just after he graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1965), through to a spikey black leather ‘biker’ girl ensemble he made in 1996 just before his untimely and tragic death.

Celia appears in numerous paintings, sketches and photographs by her close friend David Hockney wearing the clothes included in this sale – the most famous of all being ‘Mr & Mrs Clark & Percy’.

Undoubtedly the most beautiful and mesmerising designs are those of the late 60s and 70s which combine the skills and virtuosity of the pair at their best, especially those made from printed chiffons.

In 2003, the Victoria & Albert Museum organized a major retrospective exhibition of Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell’s work. Many of the garments in this auction were featured in that exhibition and were also reproduced in Judith Clark’s book ‘Ossie Clark 1965-74’ and Celia’s own book ‘Celia Birtwell’ published by Quadrille.

‘The Ossie Clark Diaries’ edited by Henrietta Rous describes how Ossie discovered a stash of rolled un-used snakeskins in a warehouse. Ossie bought them cheaply and used them to make full length coats and tight little ‘Rocker’ jackets. He wrote: ‘They were exotic, with added glamour attached to wearing part of a dangerous animal and the association with fetish in clothing oneself in another creature’s skin’.

END OF SESSION

SESSION 2 STARTING AT 3PM THE PROPERTY OF JORDAN (PAMELA ROOKE b.1955), ‘HIGH PRIESTESS OF PUNK’ - LOTS 221 TO 237 Jordan’s non-compromising personal style with spiked tinted hair, cubist face paint, wearing her overtly sexy bondage or fetish gear - made her the living embodiment of Punk, more so than even Vivienne Westwood herself. She was admired and imitated by a whole tranche of discontented teenagers living in a Britain plagued by power cuts, miner’s strikes, IRA bombs and streets filled with rubbish. It was Anarchy in the UK. In Jon Savage's book 'England's Dreaming', Jordan is described as the 'first Sex Pistol'. However, she was already a walking art form before she met Malcolm McLaren Aged fourteen, growing up in Seaford East Sussex, Pamela decided to change her name to Jordan - liking the idea of having just a single name instead of two. She took the name from ‘Jordan Baker’ of F.Scott Fitzgerald's ‘The Great Gatsby’ - a strong modern female character, who is described as having ‘that cool, insolent smile turned to the world’.

Her first job after leaving school was at the ‘Way In’ boutique at Harrods. Her typical ‘look’ at the time was green-tinged white face foundation, back-combed peroxide bee-hive hairstyle, black leotard and dance tights (she loved ballet), teamed with a Teddy Tinling tennis skirt.

In the Autumn of 1974 she started work for McLaren and Westwood at SEX, 430 Kings Road. The shop specialised in fetish wear made from rubber and leather. Jordan remembers the large pink vinyl ‘SEX’ lettering going up on the shop-front and an old hospital bed with rubber sheet being placed inside. As Jordan’s work-wear became more brazenly overt, so her train journey to work became something of an adventure in itself. After abuse and threats from fellow (mainly female) passengers she was advised by British Rail to travel first class at no extra cost to herself, in the interests of her own safety and the tranquillity of other passengers.

Jordan’s clothing collection charts her career with Westwood and McLaren at King’s Road between 1974 and 1982 In 1976 ‘SEX’ was re-launched as ‘Seditionaries - Clothes for Heroes’. In 1977 Jordan is photographed for Vogue wearing her black cotton bondage jacket. The beehive has gone, the hair has become shorter and spiked.

She states that she only perfected her facepaint later that same year which was a ‘combination of Mondrian and the Kau tribe of Northern Sudan’. In addition to working in the shop, Jordan appeared as ‘Amyl Nitrate’ in Jarman’s 1978 film ‘Jubilee’ and also managed Adam & the Ants 1977-78, often appearing with them on stage to sing ‘Lou’ in her Venus tshirt. By 1978, the Sex Pistols had disbanded Jordan, Westwood and McLaren became increasingly disillusioned with ‘Punk’ as it had by now been embraced by the mainstream.

The Kings Road was thronged every Saturday with people in bondage gear sporting towering Mohican hairstyles. Vivienne desired new 44

Jordan outside the Nashville Club, Shepherd's Bush in the company of two police officers challenges above and beyond a new t-shirt design. Jordan changed her look again piling up her hair in deep red curls, which she teamed with red contact lenses and a demure shirt with Peter-Pan collar. Her style had moved on and so too did the shop. In 1979 the shop is again re-launched as ‘World’s End’.

Vivienne’s first major collection was ‘Pirate’, A/W 1981-2. Jordan got married in a complete Pirate ensemble in June 1981 including a pair of Platypus shoes (see lot 234). In March 1982 ‘Nostalgia of Mud’ was opened but closed the same year. Jordan’s collection includes ‘Buffalo’ ensembles and also pieces from Westwood/McLaren’s final ‘Witches’ collection. Around the same time that the partnership dissolved, Jordan also left London. She left the whole scene without a backward glance and has enigmatically lived out her life very privately ever since.

Jordan states: ‘This collection represents the very essence of me and reflects a very rare

occurrence - that of two parallel forces coming together to become something unique. I see it now, that these clothes and myself were meant for each other and because of this I regard them as dear old friends that are to be loved and admired. Never before have I contemplated parting with my 'old friends' and it has been a difficult decision for me to make but the overriding feeling is that after 40 years I feel I need them to see the light of day and be treasured by someone else’.

It is Jordan’s hope that museums and collectors will acquire, display, preserve and appreciate them. Through the clothes we get a glimpse into a very special period of Jordan’s life and also arguably one of the most anarchic, influential and ground-breaking periods of fashion of the late 20th century – all so cleverly devised by Miss Westwood and Mr McLaren. Coincidentally, the auction takes place on Jordan’s 60th birthday – a good omen surely?

221 Jordan's fine and rare Westwood/McLaren Let It Rock 'Venus' t-shirt, 1975, with remains of Let it Rock label, of black cotton jersey, the armholes edged with studded rubber tyre bands with black horsehair fringes, two diagonal zips placed over the breasts, adorned with chains and assorted badges including a 1977 Royal Jubilee badge, another with hand-drawn image of Jerry Nolan of the New York Dolls, another with cropped image of Jordan wearing the Anarchy shirt (lot 222); a metal skull and crossbones, an embroidered Norton motorbike badge, and the legend 'Venus' written in metal studs, bust approx 86cm, 34in; together with a photograph of the t-shirt worn with a pair of 'Let it Rock' knickers, taken outside the Nashville Club, Shepherd's Bush in the company of two police officers (2)

A very small number of these customised t-shirts were produced as each was hand made by Vivienne on her kitchen table and no two are alike.

McLaren opened the 'Let it Rock' shop at 430 King's Road in 1971 and Vivienne is photographed outside the shop in 1972 wearing a similarly adorned waistcoat. McLaren describes the making of these garments in 1972: 'Then we came up with the idea of studding the t-shirts. We became more inventive and started to stud the t-shirts with the names of certain brands of fifties motorbikes that also had sexual connotations like Triumph and Norton and Dominator...Then we went further: really mad and bike-ish. The nearest thing I could think of was getting an actual tyre: I had an image of a tyre round your armpit. So we got hold of old two-wheel bicycle tyres and started to cut them in half: you'd place them round your armpit and stud them. They were called bike-tyre T-shirts; they were very special.' 'England's Dreaming by Jon Savage p53.

Laborious and time-consuming to make it seems that Vivienne made perhaps only one or two a year. The t-shirts were dyed black and customised by Vivienne using rubber tyres, horsehair, zips, chains and studs. Jordan added the badges herself. The British Venus motorcycle was produced between 1920-22 but course the use of the word 'Venus' on Jordan's shirt was entirely appropriate and sardonic as her own ideals of beauty and that of mainstream Britain in the 70s were radically different, which of course was the whole point.

ŠSimon Barker

Photographs of the interiors of Seditionaries as late as 1977 show a similar t-shirt hanging on the wall but this may have been for display rather than for sale. The fact that Jordan's example bears a 'Let it Rock' label indicates that it was made from old left-over shop stock from the 'Let it Rock' (1971-2) or 'Too Fast to Live Too Young to Die' (1972-Autumn 1974) incarnations of the shop. Between 1972-4 (the TFTLTYTD period) McLaren just carried on using the 'Let it Rock' label. Jordan began work at the shop in the Autumn of 1974 when the large pink padded vinyl 'SEX' shop signage was just being erected. It took about six months before the shop was fully operational. She acquired this shirt in this change-over period between late 1974 and 1975 when 'SEX' was finally launched.

Jordan is photographed extensively wearing this shirt including the cover of Simon Barker's 'Punk's Dead', and pp9,12 & 13 in the company of Siousie Sioux, singing on stage with Adam Ant pp19,21. She wore it when she attended the premiere of 'Grease' in 1978 accompanied by Adam Ant and the press clamoured for her to dance with John Travolta.

The last time Jordan wore the shirt was backstage at 'Live Aid' in 1985 when David Bowie kissed her!

222 Jordan's fine and rare Westwood/McLaren 'Anarchist' shirt, 1975, the customised green cotton shirt bearing 'Circle-Bar, Empire made' label below 'SEX Original 430 Kings Road' label, with Chinese jacquard woven Karl Marx panel to one breast, crudely red stencilled 'Dangerously Close to Love' over both front panels, appliquĂŠd, embroidered felt Nazi eagle motif, red cotton arm-band with printed felt Nazi swastika, chest 97cm, 38in

Jordan states that this was one of the first Anarchist shirts ever made and pre-dates those made for the Sex Pistols. In the 1975 David Dagley photoshoot for 'Forum' magazine, Vivienne wears a white shirt with stencilled lettering and no other adornments.

Jordan lent the shirt to her friend Simon Barker to wear for the Sex Pistol's notorious first ever TV interview on BBC's 'Today' programme, December 1st, 1976. Jordan was ill and unable to go herself. The group and their entourage were interviewed by Bill Grundy, but unfortunately for him it was broadcast live. The foul-mouthed Sex Pistols were abusive, offensive and generally misbehaved and the BBC switchboard was jammed with complaints.

Jordan wore this shirt in the first ever live TV performance by the Sex Pistols on Granada TV's 'So It Goes' programme hosted by the impresario and journalist - the late Tony Wilson, 28th August, 1976. She recalls that Malcolm McLaren encouraged the group and its supporters to behave outrageously.

Accordingly she appears on screen wearing this shirt with a leather skirt (lot 224 or 226) making a stage invasion and hurling chairs at the band! The clip went on to be included in McLaren's 'Great Rock n' Roll Swindle'. When asked by Tony Wilson why she dressed so outrageously she replied sweetly, 'why did Picasso paint pictures?'.

Granada TV were extremely unhappy about the swastika arm-band in particular.

Fetish garments from SEX are incredibly rare, as they were either made of rubber and perished or were purchased by people who wished to keep their fetishism a secret.

Jordan loved to wear these provocative pieces of clothing as everyday wear. She recalls that in 1975 on her first trip to New York she wore this ensemble when she met Andy Warhol at the Factory. He photographed her wearing it surrounded by stuffed penguins! She often wore the long horsehair ear-ring with this ensemble (see lot 223A).

Alan Jones, another 'SEX' employee remembering his 9 months working alongside Jordan reminisced, 'I posed. That was the way I had fun. People used to stop at the zebra crossing and we'd walk out and they'd go mad. That was the first time I realized how people must be noticing it.

Jordan was amazing, she pushed it to the limit, and got away with it'. 'England's Dreaming' by Jon Savage p95. £3000 - 5000

Jordan was photographed wearing a short sleeved version of this sweater and this skirt for the notorious 'SEX' photoshoot taken by David Dagley for 'Forum' magazine in 1975. One of the photographs also shows Chrissie Hynde, Jordan and Vivienne Westwood baring their bottoms, with 'S E X' spelled out on them in red lipstick.

Jordan states that only two of these sweaters were made with V-necks as the outworkers found them problematic to make this one and another in yellow for Vivienne.

The sweater was originally made with satin breast pads but Jordan removed them as the additions added to her own natural proportions looked ridiculous. However, she recommended Vivienne kept hers!

Her trademark face paint and tall spiked hair have gone and instead she has curling red hair and red contact lenses. She says that at this time she was beginning to tire of the whole punk scene which had spawned numerous bad imitations and was sick of seeing people with Mohican haircuts strutting down the King’s Road.

All spontaneity and innovation it seemed had gone - punk had become mainstream.

He wanted to get them a bit of outrageous publicity. He said, 'Take your clothes off, girl!'. 'Naw I'm not going to'. 'Go on, we haven't got much time'.

For the performance at the party filmed live by Derek Jarman see: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnDsowbOvGo It's probable that the t-shirt bearing the 1972 Wembley lettering was unsold stock from their failed attempt to sell shirts at the 1972 Rock n' Roll Festival at the Wembley Arena. Most of them were afterwards turned into knickers but others were customised. In 'Vivienne Westwood: An Unfashionable Life' p58 Jane Mulvagh writes: 'Clearly the t-shirts needed to be stronger. Vivienne began to customise them, adding tarty marabou feathers and tiny see-through plastic windows, into which a cigarette card of a pin-up girl or a rock idol was slipped. Into others she sewed zippers which when opened allowed the nipples to peep through'. £700 - 1000 241 A rare Westwood/McLaren ‘Sex Original’ customised t-shirt, circa 1975, woven pink label, stencilled with Chuck Berry and tyre tread patterns, four zips, clear and yellow plastic pockets, trimmed with black feathers, intentional holes for decoration, bust approx 81cm, 32in

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

351

351 Alexander McQueen’s own Huntsman suit, 2002, labelled with his name and dated to the breast pocket ‘H. Huntsman & Sons, 11 Saville Row, London W1X 2PS, Alexander McQueen, 26.2.02, TH 46382/13’, of fine hound’s tooth checked wool, double breasted and lined in white satin edged with black borders, the trousers with turnups, chest 102cm, 40in, waist 81cm, 32in; together with Lee’s own McQueen navy sweater with embroidery to the shoulders; and an invitation to his memorial service and service sheet in 2010 (5)

As a school leaver McQueen served a three year apprenticeship with Anderson & Shepherd, followed by two years as a junior trouser-cutter for Gieves & Hawkes - the military tailor. This formal training gave Lee a solid grounding in construction, cutting and how fabrics handle - skills that were to enable him to create fantastical, innovative and beautiful fashion in the years to come.

When he joined Givenchy as the British enfant terrible, he earned the respect of the staff in the couture workrooms when they saw how experienced he was.

In 2002-3 McQueen collaborated with Huntsman to produce a series of 12 garments to comprise a complete bespoke gentleman’s wardrobe.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Terry Haste of Huntsman said that the collection was aimed at ‘a totally different block ... A classic Huntsman suit is cut with everything in proportion. The McQueen shaping is much narrower and more defined on the back with the sleeves narrower and lapels more extreme’.

McQueen also stated in an interview with James Sherwood for the Financial Times ‘The shaping for my suits is fitted on the curvature of the spine’.

For a full page photograph of McQueen wearing this suit see ‘Alexander McQueen’ edited by Claire Wilcox, V&A publications p36 and Christopher Breward’s monograph ‘A Sense of Place - Su[i]ture: Tailoring & the Fashion of the Metropolis’ p37-49, which explores McQueen’s tailoring skills and his Huntsman collection in particular. £800 - 1200

352 An Alexander McQueen fashion sketch for his first Givenchy haute couture collection, ‘In search of the Golden Fleece’ SpringSummer, 1997, un-signed, no 40, worked in gouache and ink, showing a silver grey capelet worn over a high waisted skirt, adorned with embroidery, the figure with horn-shaped coiffure, 46 by 30cm, 18 by 12in £500 - 700 353 Three Alexander McQueen fashion sketches for his first Givenchy haute couture collection, ‘In search of the Golden Fleece’, Spring-Summer, 1997, un-signed, nos 5, 18 and 46, gouache and ink, showing three white highly tailored suits and a dress, 46 by 30cm, 18 by 12in (3) £1200 - 1800 354 Two Alexander McQueen fashion sketches for his first Givenchy haute couture collection, ‘In search of the Golden Fleece’, Spring-Summer, 1997, un-signed, nos 23 and 31, gouache and ink, showing two trouser ensembles with high Incroyable style bolero jacket and organza blouse, 46 by 30cm, 18 by 12in (2) £800 - 1200

355 A rare and early Alexander McQueen bolero bodice from the ‘Highland Rape’ collection, Autumn-Winter, 1995, un-labelled, probably a show piece, with remains of sticky number tag to neck lining, of fine wine and beige herring-bone weave suiting wool, the front cut low and deep like a man’s late Victorian waistcoat with five buttonholes to fasten, the pointed lapels faced in a green and ivory lampas with large scale acanthus and palmette repeats redolent of early 18th century Italian silks, heavily padded shoulders with bell-shaped sleeves which are open on the under-side, lined in grey acetate, bust 81cm, 32in

On the catwalk this bolero was worn with dark brown trousers worn low on the hips.

The lapels were worn so that they cupped the model’s bare breasts.

‘Highland Rape’, McQueen’s fifth collection, was the first in which he collaborated with his friend Katy England, making her his in-house stylist. McQueen himself, assisted by a fellow Central St Martin’s student Andrew Groves, did all the cutting and machining of the garments in his Clerkenwell studio.

The show, which was staged at the Natural History Museum, was the hottest ticket in town. With a runway strewn with heather, models staggered out, their beautifully tailored ensembles and gossamer lace dresses, apparently torn and ripped as if from an attack. McQueen’s intended message was the historic annexation and subjugation of Scotland by the English.

However, the British tabloid press misconstrued the dishevelled appearance of the models, believing the collection to be a misogynistic and degrading attack on women. The resulting headlines served only to confirm McQueen’s pre-eminence in British Fashion. The shock-tactics employed, the theatricality, sombre romance of the show and its clarion call for Scottish independence ensured McQueen’s profile was raised even further.

356 An Alexander McQueen Highland ensemble, ‘Widows of Culloden’ collection, Autumn-Winter, 2006, woven grey label and size 38, comprising: pink leather jacket with scalloped, pinked edges, a high-waisted skirt with asymmetric pleat, a cream lawn blouse inset with lace and with jabot-style lace collar, and a black leather belt with Celtic knot buckle, bust 86cm, 34in, waist 61cm, 24in (4)

Very few pieces from this original fashion show have survived as bailiffs seized and removed bags containing the collection in a raid over unpaid bills.

For his ‘Dante’ collection McQueen selected various photographic references for his prints including Vietnam war photographs

by Don McCullin. A gold painted skeleton sat amongst the press in the front row. The themes of mortality and suffering ran through this collection. Images taken from a 19th century blind colony fitted in perfectly with this. Suzy Menkes writing in the International Herald Tribune described the collection as a ‘Fashion Moment’. £15000 - 20000

The Buyer’s Premium, Buyer’s Expenses and Hammer Price are subject to VAT, where applicable.

3. Examination of Lots (a) KT’s knowledge of lots is partly dependent on information provided by the Seller and KT is unable to exercise exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Each lot is available for examination before sale. Bidders are responsible for carrying out examinations and research before sale to satisfy themselves over the condition of lots and accuracy of descriptions. (b) All oral and/or written information provided to Bidders relating to lots, including descriptions in the catalogue, condition reports or elswhere are statements of KT’s opinion and not representations of fact. Estimates may not be relied on as a prediction of the selling price or value of the lot and may be revised from time to time at KT’s absolute discretion.

4. Exclusions and limitations of liability to Buyers (a) KT shall refund the Purchase Price to the Buyer in circumstances where it deems that the lot is a Counterfeit, subject to the terms of KT’s Authenticity Guarantee. (b) Subject to Condition 4(a), neither KT nor the Seller:(i) is liable for any errors or omissions in any oral or written information provided to Bidders by KT, whether negligent or otherwise; (ii) gives any guarantee or warranty to Bidders and any implied warranties and conditions are excluded (save in so far as such obligations cannot be excluded by English law), other than the express warranties given by the Seller to the Buyer (for which the Seller is solely responsible) under the Conditions of Business for Sellers; (iii) accepts responsibility to Bidders for acts or omissions (whether negligent or otherwise) by KT in

84

connection with the conduct of auctions or for any matter relating to the sale of any lot. (c) Without prejudice to Condition 4(b), any claim against KT and/ or the Seller by a Bidder is limited to the Purchase Price for the relevant lot. Neither KT nor the Seller shall be liable for any indirect or consequential losses. (d) Nothing in Condition 4 shall exclude or limit the liability of KT or the Seller for death or personal injury caused by the negligent acts or omissions of KT or the Seller.

5. Bidding at Auction (a) KT has absolute discretion to refuse admission to the auction. Before sale, Bidders must complete a Registration Form and supply such information and references as KT requires. Bidders are personally liable for their bid and are jointly and severally liable with their principal, if bidding as agent (in which case KT’s prior and express consent must be obtained). (b) KT advises Bidders to attend the auction, but KT will endeavour to execute absentee written bids provided that they are, in KT’s opinion, received in sufficient time and in legible form. (c) When available, written and telephone bidding is offered as a free service at the Bidder’s risk and subject to KT’s other commitments; KT is therefore not liable for failure to execute such bids. Telephone bidding may be recorded.

6. Import, Export and Copyright Restrictions KT and the Seller make no representations or warranties as to whether any lot is subject to import, export or copyright restrictions. It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any copyright clearance or any necessary import, export or other licence required by law, including licenses required under the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).

7. Conduct of the Auction (a) The auctioneer has discretion to refuse bids, withdraw or re-offer lots for sale (including after the fall of the hammer) if (s)he believes that there may be an error or dispute, and may also take such other action as (s)he reasonably deems necessary. (b) The auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding in such increments as (s)he considers appropriate and is entitled to place bids on the Seller’s behalf up to the Reserve Price for the lot, where applicable. (c) Subject to Condition 7(a), the contract between the Buyer and the Seller is concluded on the striking of the auctioneer’s hammer. (d) Any post-auction sale of lots shall incorporate these Conditions of Business.

8. Payment and Collection (a) Unless otherwise agreed in advance, payment of the Purchase Price is due in pounds sterling immediately after the auction (the “Payment Date”). (b) Title in a lot will not pass to the Buyer until KT has received the Purchase Price in cleared funds. KT will generally not release a lot to a Buyer before payment.

Earlier release shall not affect passing of title or the Buyer’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price, as above. (c) The refusal of any licence or permit required by law, as outlined in Condition 6, shall not affect the Buyer’s obligation to pay for the lot, as per Condition 8(a). (d) The Buyer must arrange collection of lots within 10 working days of the auction. Purchased lots are at the Buyer’s risk from the earliest of (i) collection or (ii) 10 working days after the auction. Until risk passes, KT will compensate the Buyer for any loss or damage to the lot up to a maximum of the Purchase Price actually paid by the Buyer. KT’s assumption of

risk is subject to the exclusions detailed in Condition 5(d) of the Conditions of Business for Sellers. (e) All packing and handling of lots is at the Buyer’s risk. KT will not be liable for any acts or omissions of third party packers or shippers.

9. Remedies for non-payment Without prejudice to any rights that the Seller may have, if the Buyer without prior agreement fails to make payment for the lot within 5 working days of the auction, KT may in its sole discretion exercise 1 or more of the following remedies:(a) store the lot at its premises or elsewhere at the Buyer’s sole risk and expense; (b) cancel the sale of the lot; (c) set off any amounts owed to the Buyer by KT against any amounts owed to KT by the Buyer for the lot; (d) reject future bids from the Buyer; (e) charge interest at 4% per annum above The Bank of England’s Base Rate from the Payment Date to the date that the Purchase Price is received in cleared funds; (f) re-sell the lot by auction or privately, with estimates and reserves at KT’s discretion, in which case the Buyer will be liable for any shortfall between the original Purchase Price and the amount achieved on re-sale, including all costs incurred in such re-sale; (g) exercise a lien over any Buyer’s Property in KT’s possession, applying the sale proceeds to any amounts owed by the Buyer to KT. KT shall give the Buyer 14 days written notice before exercising such lien; (h) commence legal proceedings to recover the Purchase Price for the lot, plus interest and legal costs; (i) disclose the Buyer’s details to the Seller to enable the Seller to commence legal proceedings.

10. Failure to collect purchases (a) If the Buyer pays the Purchase Price but does not collect the lot within 14 working days of the auction, the lot will be stored at the Buyer’s expense and risk at KT’s premises or in independent storage. (b) If a lot is paid for but uncollected within 6 months of the auction, following 60 days written notice to the Buyer, KT will re-sell the lot by auction or privately, with estimates and reserves at KT’s discretion. The sale proceeds, less all KT’s costs, will be forfeited unless collected by the Buyer within 2 years of the original auction.

11. Data Protection (a) KT will use information supplied by Bidders or otherwise obtained lawfully by KT for the provision of auction related services, client administration, marketing and as otherwise required by law. (b) By agreeing to these Conditions of Business, the Bidder agrees to the processing of their personal information and to the disclosure of such information to third parties world-wide for the purposes outlined in Condition 11(a) and to Sellers as per Condition 9(i).

12. Miscellaneous (a) All images of lots, catalogue descriptions and all other materials produced by KT are the copyright of KT. (b) These Conditions of Business are not assignable by any Buyer without KT’s prior written consent, but are binding on Bidders’ successors, assigns and representatives. (c) The materials listed in Condition 1(a) set out the entire agreement between the parties. (d) If any part of these Conditions of Business be held unenforceable, the remaining parts shall remain in full force and effect. (e) These Conditions of Business shall be interpreted in accordance with English Law, under the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts, in favour of KT.

KERRY TAYLOR AUCTIONS LTD AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE If Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd sells an item of Property which is later shown to be a “Counterfeit”, subject to the terms below Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd will rescind the sale and refund the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd for that Property, up to a maximum of the Purchase Price.

The Guarantee lasts for one (1) year after the date of the relevant auction, is for the benefit of the Buyer only and is non-transferable.

“Counterfeit” means an item of Property that in Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd ‘s reasonable opinion is an imitation created with the intent to deceive over the authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description of such matters is not included in the catalogue description for the Property. Property shall not be considered Counterfeit solely because of any damage and/or restoration and/or modification work.

Please note that this Guarantee does not apply if either:(i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally accepted opinions of scholars and experts at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or (ii) the only method of establishing at the date of the sale that the item was a Counterfeit would have been by means of processes not then generally available or accepted, unreasonably

expensive or impractical; or likely to have caused damage to or loss in value to the Property (in Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd’s reasonable opinion); or (iii) there has been no material loss in value of the Property from its value had it accorded with its catalogue description.

To claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:(i) notify Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd in writing within one (1) month of receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the Property, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is believed to be Counterfeit; and (ii) return the Property to Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd in the same condition as at the date of sale and be able to transfer good title in the Property, free from any third party claims arising after the date of the sale.

Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer’s cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the relevant field. Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports, provided always that the costs of such reports have been approved in advance and in writing by Kerry Taylor Auctions Ltd.

Bidding in Person To bid with us you must register to obtain a bidding number.

Please hand back the paddle after use.

Commission bids Commission bids are confidential and will be executed at no extra charge. Kerry Taylor Auctions endeavours to purchase lots as cheaply as possible, allowing for other bids and the reserves. Absentee bidding forms can be found at the back of the catalogue and should be completed and faxed at the number shown at the front of the catalogue. Please do not post in commission bid slips. It is in your interests to return your form as soon as possible as if two or more bidders submit identical bids for a lot, the first bid received takes preference. All bids should be received at least 24 hours before the start of the sale. It is your responsibility to check with us that your bid has been received. If you have never bid with Kerry Taylor Auctions before (even though you may be a past Sotheby’s client) you must also provide proof of identity. Failure to do this may result in your bids not being processed.

Successful commission bidders will be notified by email immediately after the sale or you can phone us. Full payment must be sent to the Auctioneers.
