31 An extremely rare Chinese porcelain dish for the Portuguese market, Jiajing period, painted in underglaze blue to the central reserve with a dragon medallion framed by flames and leafy scrolls inside a border of stylised flowers and floral scrolls beneath a geometric border to the rim, the exterior decorated with five medallions interspersed with cloud wisps, two medallions depicting Esfera Armilar, one bearing the IHS insignia, and two depicting landscapes, 30.5cm diameter Note: This dish is part of a small group of pieces that form the first commission of Oriental porcelain for the Portuguese market. Characterised by the simultaneous presence of occidental and Oriental motifs. The present dish bears both the IHS insignia and the Edfera Armilar Royal insignia of D. Manuel I of Portugal (1495-1521) and his son D. João III of Portugal (1521-1557). The illegible inscriptions crossing the Esfera Armilar in this case and the mistakes representing the Portuguese Royal Arms in other cases are a clear sign of the lack of knowledge of the occidental symbols by the Chinese artists. 明 嘉靖 葡萄牙定制青花龍紋洗 £30,000-50,000*

During the Qianlong period there was a vibrant market for jade objects imitating these ancient bronzes, however craftsmen did not simply copy these forms, instead opting on a synthesis of styles that borrowed from different sources, creating something new in an ancient setting. The Qianlong emperor regarded jade items not merely as a practical objects, but rather important tools that helped unlock the path towards virtue. In the ‘Ballad on a Cup of Jade’, a poem composed by the emperor during the eight year of his reign, he states the importance of understanding the significance of the object’s ceremonial value, and that the appreciation of jade is not just a purely aesthetic endeavour, but also a spiritual one. Cf. A similar example sold at Sotheby’s New York, 19th March 2019, Lot 207; another Ming dynasty example with additional Qianlongperiod engraved stand can be found at the National Palace Museum, Taipei, inv.

271 A Chinese spinach jade marriage bowl, Qianlong period, the sides with everted rim and carved in low relief to the exterior with lotus blooms and meandering scrolls, with carved dragonfly-form handles, their wings resting on the rim of the bowl, their bodies suspending loose ring handles, on four rectangular feet, 23cm diameter Provenance: Justus Blank, Dutch East India Company, and thence by descent Note: The jade industry expanded greatly during the Qianlong period following the conquest over the rebellious Dzungar people in Khotan and Yarkand, in present day Xinjiang. The superior quality and quantity of raw jade in the area meant that larger forms were now possible, and the marriage bowl became a popular object during this time. Prior to this conquest jade came in smaller boulders, and there are many poems of the emperor that deplore the scarcity of the material supplied to the Imperial Workshops. Marriage bowls take their name from the auspicious imagery used in their decoration. This particular object uses the twin dragonfly motif for the handles, an image that symbolises fleeting moments due to their temporary existence in the air. The word for dragonfly, 蜻蜓 (qīng tíng), contains the homophones 清 qīng and 慶 qing, which mean ‘pure’ and ‘celebration’ respectively - most suitable for a marriage gift. The additional lotus bloom motif enriches the auspiciousness of the object - blossoming from the murky mud of the marshes into an untainted white flower, the lotus symbolises purity, and the homophones 廉 lián (incorruptible, modest) 连 lián (join, continuous, successive) and 联 lián (unite, join) enhance the symbolic meaning of the lotus decoration. Cf. For a comparable marriage bowl with dragonfly-form handles, see Sotheby’s Hong Kong, Fine Chinese Ceramics & Works of Art, 08 October 2010, Lot 2723 清 乾隆 碧玉纏枝蓮紋蜻蜓銜環大碗 參見 蘇富比香港 2010年10月8日 £10,000-15,000*

272 272 A Chinese white jade brushwasher, xi, Qianlong mark and of the period, carved to the interior in low relief with three butterflies and a flowering begonia branch, issuing from the exterior, slightly flared footrim, incised seal mark to base 17cm diameter, on associated hardwood stand set with stained ivory reticulated panels Provenance: Justus Blank, Dutch East India Company, and thence by descent Note: A combination that can be found on Chinese porcelain as early as the Yongle reign (1403-24), the butterfly and begonia combination was often utilised in Qing dynasty decoration in order to suggest a duplication of auspicious wishes, owing to the fact the word for butterfly 蝶 (‘die’) is a homophone of the word 疊, which means ‘to repeat’, and also 耋, which means ‘over seventy or eighty years of age’, an auspicious expression of longevity. The begonia, known as ‘qiuhaitang’, is a flower than blooms in autumn; with ‘tang’ being a homophone for ‘clan’. The combination of the pair of butterflies hovering around the begonia blooms expresses the wish for heightened honour and distinction for the family. Butterflies are also symbolic of love and everlasting happiness in marriage, owing to the fact that butterflies play a important part in many traditional Chinese stories. Of these stories, one of the most notable is The Butterfly Lovers 梁山伯 by the Ming dynasty writer Feng Menglong (1574-1646), in which the lovers Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are transformed into butterflies after death.

310 A large Chinese painted enamel charger, Qianlong mark and of the period, painted to the central reserve with a crane approaching haiwu (‘sea house’) inside a broad border densely decorated with scrolling lotus blooms on a yellow ground, slightly raised red-enamel seal mark to base, 46cm diameter Note: The expression hai wu tian shou 海屋添壽, which translates as ‘may the ancient house for storing changes bring the longevity’, is an auspicious birthday message wishing the recipient a long and happy life. The legend of the ‘Sea House Addition’, alluded to in the central reserve, tells the story of a group of immortals who are discussing their ages. One of the immortals states “Every time the sea dries up and becomes a land of mulberry fields, I place one chip in my house as a record. And I place another one when the land of mulberry fields changes back to become the sea. Now my house is full of chips. How old do you think I am?” These ‘chips’ are markers used for keeping count, made of wood or bamboo, and the word ‘chip’ (chou 壽) is a homophone for the word meaning longevity (shou 壽), therefore instilling the meaning of adding age or longevity. The pavilion depicted in the central reserve houses a pot containing three of these ‘chips’, with a crane flying overhead carrying a forth in its beak. The addition of this regal bird deepens the longevity imagery, as the crane is a symbol of longevity because it lives a long life and its white feathers stand for old age. The word for crane, he (鹤), is also a homophone for hé (合), meaning peace and harmony.

333 AFTER TANG YIN (1470-1523), 16th century ink and colour on silk, large handscroll depicting Daoist immortals attending the birthday of Xi Wangmu 唐英款 《群仙会祝图》 卷 16世纪 Note: Although the painting is signed Tang Yin, the style of the painting is dated to the late 16th century, slightly later than this well-known literati artist. Instead, the auspicious theme, stylised figural depiction and the use of ink suggest the origin of the painting as ‘Suzhou Pian’, a type of commercial painting after the titles famous art masters produced in the late Ming (c. 16th century) for the flourishing art market at the time. In the 16th century, the growing economy leads to the growing wealth of Ming people, especially those living the South of Yangtsu River, which further stimulates the consumption of the arts and causes the flourishing art market. To meet the demand, many paintings were produced after infamous artists including Tang Yin who is known for his literati and figural paintings. Although these paintings are not authentic, some of them are far beyond a bad replica but of a very high quality. The present painting is a good example of the top-quality ‘Suzhou Pian’ painting. Depiction of immortals gathering is a very common theme for these ‘Suzhou Pian’ paintings because it normally infers good blessing of longevity and auspiciousness. In this scroll, immortals of various type, who come from the sea, sky or land, gathered together for celebrating the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West who is guided by the phoenix riding goddess and flanked by a group of her attendants. Although spuriously given to the tile of Tang Yin, the delicate lines and detailed depiction suggest the great skill and attention to detail of the artist or workshop. A comparable example can be found in the National Palace Museum i.e. Gathering of Immortals Offering Blessings attr. Qiu Ying and Lofty Gathering at Gem Pond attr Zhao Boju. Further examples and discussions of ‘Suzhou Pian’ paintings can be found in the catalogue of the National Palace Museum exhibition “Suzhou Fakes” and Their Influence In The 16th to 18th Century’. 17世紀 唐寅 款 群仙祝會圖卷 £4,000-6,000*

A similar painting, perhaps a companion to the present example, was sold by Christie’s Hong Kong, 30th May 2010, Lot 1223 Classically trained in Chinese ink painting whilst embracing the style of the Dutch Impressionists, Lee Man Fong is renowned for moving fluidly between Eastern and Western aesthetics. Born in the Chinese province of Guangzhou in 1913, Lee migrated to Singapore and eventually settled in Jakarta in 1930, where he secured a job at the Dutch printing company Kolff. In 1942 Lee was arrested by the Japanese military government for his participation in the revolutionary group Fu Xing She, who opposed Japanese colonialism in Indonesia. His jailer, Takahashi Masao, was an admirer of his work and, interested in his artistic potential, secured his early release within months. As his artistic profile continued to rise, he was awarded a Malino scholarship to study in the Netherlands. He lived there for six years (1946-1952), during which he held four solo exhibitions in Amsterdam and The Hague, and participated in an international salon in Paris. It was here that Lee began to interweave the dark and fluid palette of the Dutch Impressionists with the classical sensibilities of the Chinese ink tradition. Combining fluid and airy brushstrokes with a keen sense of light and shade, Lee Man Fong’s depiction of two horses sits proudly amongst his own developed vernacular. His exhibitions in Europe were critically acclaimed, with many buyers purchasing his works. 102

The choice of two horses aligns with the favourite subject of Chinese artist Xu Bei Hong (1895-1953), an artist greatly admired by Lee Man Fong. Another artist renowned for his skilful interweaving of Western and Eastern aesthetics in his oil works, and whose primary subject was the horse, there is no doubt Lee took inspiration from this celebrated painter. Xu’s poetic depictions of horses, with vivid contrast between airy and dark, heavy brushstrokes, provided Lee Man Fong an expansive resource from which to draw inspiration, instilling a sense of subdued theatricality in his work. 李曼峰 （1913-1988）雙馬圖 £30,000-50,000*
From the private archive of the family
Great grandfather, Justus Blank (Dutch), lived in Jakarta, Indonesia between the 1890s-1920s, whilst working for the Dutch East India Company. Sometime in the late 1920s he moved back to Holland. The present painting was painted in Holland in 1949, so it is most likely that Justus Blank purchased this from Lee Man Fong’s exhibition in The Hague in 1950. Great granddaughter and great grandson have inherited the painting.

365 LI GENG (Chinese, b.1950), ink on paper, ‘Symphony by Mahler, Chapter 6’, signed and dated 2018, 68 x 68cm, unframed Note: Li Geng was influenced by the teachings of his father Li Keran from an early age. His father, also an artist, is renowned for grand landscape paintings, so Li Geng’s abstract and peotic compositions are in stark contrast to his father’s. The present painting from the Mahler Symphonies” series is part of Li’s tribute to the early 20th century Austrian composer Gustav Mahler (1860 - 1911), with whom the artist feels great kinship. Mahler was greatly inspired by poetry of some of the greatest Tang dynasty poets Li Bai, Meng Haoran, and Qian Qi, and his popular symphony Das Lied Von Der Erde (Song of the Earth) draws inspiration directly from the beauty and transience of their poetry. Li Geng currently teaches painting at the Kyoto University of Art and Design. The “Mahler Symphonies” is an ongoing series of monochromatic ink wash paintings created while experiencing the epic orchestral masterpieces of his favourite composer. 李庚（1950-）馬勒《第六交響曲》 £1,200-1,800*

Born in Chongqing in 1956, Long Quan graduated from the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts in 1984 and taught there as a professor, as well as travelling to the UK and Germany to study and teach. The ‘Junk’ series, created in the early 1990s, is regarded as his most accomplished collection of works. Using the imagery of solitary boats floating on still waters, Long Quan expresses a piercing sense of isolation and stillness. Undisturbed by wind, rain or sound, the boats float silently in front of endless fog.

Note: Seungmo Park is preoccupied by the nature and illusion of existence, our environment and the way we interpret it in relation to his artwork. His fine wire sculptures and mesh installations are instantly recognisable, but on closer inspection show the intricate fabrication and surprising materials which create these painstakingly made artworks. Therefore perhaps it is no surprise he has been caught on camera comparing himself with his metal wire sculptures: “Ultimately then am I really Seungmo Park just because I have a body and existence, or am I an empty shell, or a shadow like them?” 樸勝模 韓 （1969-） 人物立像 £6,000-8,000*

TERMS OF CONSIGNMENT FOR SELLERS These terms apply to Rosebery Fine Art Ltd trading as Roseberys and Roseberys London. 1. Interpretation. In these Terms the words ‘you’, ‘yours’, etc. refer to the Seller and if the consignment of goods to us is made by an agent we assume that the Seller has authorised the consignment and that the consignor has the Seller’s authority to contract. Similarly the words ‘we’, ‘us’, etc. refer to the Auctioneers. 2. Commission and Entry Fee. (a) Entry Fee: A charge of £20 is made to each lot sold in addition to vendor’s commission. This charge covers our specialist research, catalogue description, website illustration, marketing on our website and other third party sites as well as live or timed bidding on various internet platforms. (b) Vendors Commission: Is charged on each lot at 15%. 3. Catalogue Illustration Fee. The cost of any illustration is borne by you. Lots may be illustrated in a catalogue and thus a charge of between £20-60 per illustration is applicable, dependent on size. For example a quarter page illustration £20, half page £40, three quarter/full page £60. The copyright in respect of such illustrations shall be the property of the auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue; any persons to be found to have reproduced such illustrations or text without prior written approval will be deemed as being in breach of copyright law and appropriate legal action may be taken. 4. Loss and Damage of Goods (a) Roseberys is not authorised by the FSA to provide insurance to its clients, and does not so do. However Roseberys, for its own protection, assumes liability for property consigned to it at the lower pre-sale estimate until title passes to the buyer. To justify accepting liability, Roseberys makes a charge of 1.75% of the hammer price plus VAT. The liability assumed by Roseberys shall be limited to the lower pre-sale estimate or to the reserve if the lot was unsold. Settlement in any claim arising shall be subject to commission as if the lot had sold in the normal manner. (b) If the owner of goods consigned instructs us in writing not to take such action, the goods then remain entirely at the owner’s risk unless and until the property in them passes to the Buyer or they are collected by or on behalf of the owner, and clause 4(a) is inapplicable. (c) Roseberys will not be liable for the loss or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings or other works. Old frames are often fragile or subject to deterioration and whilst Roseberys will do their
upmost to ensure the safety and care of frames and glass we will not compensate for loss or damage to property caused by changes in humidity or temperature, normal wear and tear, gradual deterioration, inherent defect or errors in processing. 5. Removal Costs. Items for sale must be consigned to the saleroom by any stated deadline and at your expense. We may be able to assist you with this process but any liability incurred to a carrier for haulage charges is solely your responsibility. 6. Minimum Bids and our Discretion. Goods will normally be offered subject to a reserve agreed between us before the sale in accordance with clause 7. We may sell Lots below the reserve provided we account to you for the same sale proceeds that you would have received had the reserve been the hammer price. If you specifically give us a “discretion” we may accept a bid of up to approximately 15% below the low estimate and “wide discretion” allows to use accept a bid of up to approximately 30% below the low estimate. 7. Reserves. (a) Prior to the auction you are entitled to place a reserve on any lot consigned, being the minimum hammer price at which that lot may be sold. Reserves must be reasonable and we may decline to offer goods which in our opinion would be subject to an unreasonably high reserve. If we are unable to offer goods they may be subject to storage charges if uncollected. (b) A reserve once set cannot be changed except with our consent, and confirmed by you in writing. (c) Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf and only up to the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances bid personally. 8. Electrical Items. These are subject to detailed statutory safety controls. Where such items are accepted for sale you accept responsibility for the cost of testing by external contractors. Goods not certified as safe by an electrician (unless antiques) will not be accepted for sale. They must be removed at your expense on your being notified. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense. 9. Soft Furnishings. The sale of soft furnishings is strictly regulated by statute law in the interests of fire safety. Goods found to infringe safety regulations will not be offered and must be removed at your expense. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense. The rights of disposal referred to in clause 8 and 9 are subject to the provisions of The Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, Schedule 1, a copy of which is available for inspection on request
ROS-015_Listing.qxp_Layout 1 17/10/2019 12:55 Page 153
TERMS OF CONSIGNMENT FOR SELLERS 10. Descriptions. Please assist us with accurate information as to the provenance etc. of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liability for the accuracy of descriptions under modern consumer legislation and in some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuracies occur. We will assume that you have approved the catalogue description of your lots unless informed to the contrary. Where we are obliged to return the price to the buyer when the lot is a deliberate forgery under Condition 15 of the Conditions of Sale and we have accounted to you for the proceeds of sale you agree to reimburse us the sale proceeds. The liability to reimburse the sale proceeds shall not arise where you are acting reasonably and honestly and are unaware of the forgery or where we are or ought to have been aware of it. 11. Unsold Items. Unsold lots will be automatically reoffered into the next appropriate live or online auction with the low estimate reduced by 40% and if the revised estimate is £200 or below it will be offered without reserve. Alternatively, we may contact you to request that you collect the items. If you do not wish to re-enter the lots please notify Roseberys in writing with collection instructions. Please note storage charges will be incurred if lots are not collected within one week, storage charges will be applied of £2 + VAT per lot per day. If a lot remains uncollected two months after the date of the auction, Roseberys shall have the right to sell the lot at auction without reserve and to deduct from the ‘hammer price’ any sum owing to Roseberys as well as expenses arising from all auctions in which the lot has been included, plus storage and loss and damage warranty charges. 12. Withdrawn Items. (a) If an item is withdrawn prior to the publication of the catalogue a minimum charge of £20 + VAT per lot is applicable. This fee covers administration, handling, storage and loss & damage of the lot whilst in our care. (b) If an item is withdrawn after the online or offline publication of the lots they will incur charges where applicable comprising the sum of the vendor’s commission, the entry fee, the illustration cost, the loss and damage warranty, the buyer’s premium, the marketing fees and other expenses in relation to the item. VAT is applicable on all charges. These commission and premium charges will be calculated upon Roseberys published mid estimate. (c) In the cases of 12 (a) and (b) Roseberys will store the withdrawn item for a period of five days with no charge, after this a storage charge will be applicable at a daily rate of £2 per item per day plus VAT for items that remain uncollected.
13. Conditions of Sale. You agree that all goods will be sold according to our Conditions of Sale. In particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goods either as owner or agent for the owner. You undertake to compensate us and any buyer or third party for all losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of this undertaking. 14. Authority to Deduct Commission and Expenses and Retain Premium and Interest. (a) You authorise us to deduct commission from the hammer price at the stated rate plus all applicable expenses incurred on your account and consent to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the buyer in accordance with our Conditions of Sale and any interest earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement. (b) You authorise us at our discretion to negotiate a sale by private treaty not later than five working days from the date of the auction in the case of lots unsold at auction, in which case the same charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction and so far as appropriate these Terms apply. 15. Warehousing. We disclaim all liability for goods delivered to our saleroom without sufficient written sale instructions, client contact details or without our prior written agreement to take delivery and reserve the right to either refuse to receive such goods or to make a minimum warehousing charge of £2 per item per day. Unsold lots are subject to the same charges if you do not remove them within a reasonable time of notification. If not removed within twenty one days we reserve the right to sell them and defray charges from any net proceeds of sale or at your expense to consign them to the local authority for disposal. 16. Settlement. Settlement of the net sum due to you normally takes place 28 days after the sale (by crossed cheque or bank transfer to the seller) unless the buyer has not paid for the goods. In this case no settlement will then be made but we will take your instructions in the light of our Conditions of Sale. You authorise any sums owed by you to us on other transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds. You must note the liability to reimburse the proceeds of sale to us as under the circumstances provided for in Condition 10 above. You should therefore bear this potential liability in mind before parting with the proceeds of sale until the expiry of 28 days from the date of sale.

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS 1. Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers of Roseberys London particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms or online only bidding platform. All sales are conducted according to our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection in person, on our website and normally accompany catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully understand. 2. Agency. As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller. 3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price or may be above the reserve price. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive. 4. Buyer’s Premium. The Conditions of Sale oblige buyers to pay a buyer’s premium of 25% up to £250,000 (30% inclusive of VAT), 20% from £250,000-500,000 (24% inclusive of VAT), 12% from £500,000 onwards (14.4% inclusive of VAT) The premium price is subject to VAT at the standard rate. 5. VAT. The addition of (*) or (VAT applied on hammer price) to the lot description indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate, presently 20%, on the hammer price as well as being payable on the buyer’s premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the premium is not recoverable as input tax. 6. Artist’s Resale Rights/Droit de Suite. Lots as indicated in the catalogue and if sold for the equivalent of 1000 euros or more on the day of the auction will be subject to a further percentage of the hammer price as follows: From 0 to 50,000 euros subject to 4% From 50,001 to 200,000 euros subject to 3% From 200,001 to 350,000 euros subject to 1% From 350,001 to 500,000 euros subject to 0.5% Exceeding 500,000 euros subject to 0.25% The Artist’s Resale Right payable will be the aggregate of the amounts payable under the above rate bands, subject to maximum royalty payable of 12,500 euros for any single work each time it is sold. Calculations of the artist’s resale right will be based on the pound sterling/Euro reference exchange rate quoted on the date of sale by the European Central Bank. 7. Agents. We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them we are normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order. Additionally, in specified circumstances lots mis-described because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is a three week time limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale). 8. Electrical goods. These are sold as ‘antiques’ or ‘decorative’ items only and if bought for use must first be checked for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician. 9. Coloured gems. It is common practice for gemstones to be treated in order to enhance colour and clarity. Unless stated buyers should presume coloured stones may well have been exposed to some sort of treatment.
10. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. 11. Bidding. Bidders are required to register with us before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification may be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding. 12. Commission bidding (i)
Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding the buyers’ premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for leaving commission bids by telephone, email or fax. Please ensure bids are left at least one hour prior to the start of the auction.
(ii) Commission bids may also be left via the Roseberys website. These bids are executed via the RoseberysLive software and there is no surcharge. 13. Live Online bidding (a) An online bidding service is offered via RoseberysLive, thesaleroom.com and invaluable.com. In completing the bidder registration on these sites the buyer is agreeing to Roseberys conditions of sale. (b) In the case where a debit or credit card has been used to register the buyer also agrees to authorise Roseberys, if they so wish, to charge the debit or credit card given in part or full payment, including all fees, for items successfully purchased in the auction via the online bidding platforms. (c) Please note there is no additional surcharge for any lots purchased via RoseberysLive, whether live bidding or commission bidding. Any lots purchased via thesaleroom.com or invaluable.com will be subject to an additional 5% commission charge + VAT at the rate imposed on the hammer price. (d) Roseberys offers online bidding services as a convenience to its clients, but neither Roseberys nor the seller will be responsible to you for errors during or after the sale or failures to execute bids, either live bids or commission bids placed on the internet or on your mobile device, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by: (i) any loss of connection to the auction being conducted online; (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software or the website service provider; and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with any internet connection, computer, mobile device or system. (e) By accessing RoseberysLive and using the software provided you are agreeing to the Website Terms and Conditions governing use of our website. Please ensure you familiarise yourself with these prior to accessing our website. 14. Methods of Payment. Payment can be made by cash (maximum 10,000 euros), debit and credit cards (maximum £1,000 online or over the phone) or bank transfer. For international bank transfers an administration fee of £25 is payable. Any cheques tendered will need to allow 10 days to be cleared before removal of lots purchased is permitted. Please note that regulation of money laundering means we are limited to receiving the equivalent of 10,000 euros in cash payment. 15. Collection and storage (a) Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected promptly. All lots must be collected within five working days following auction. Storage charges of £2 per lot per day + VAT will be strictly enforced thereafter. (b) Roseberys are unable to pack, post or deliver any items purchased through public or online auction, a list of suggested companies is supplied upon issuing of invoices, upon request or on the company website. These are suggestions only and are not the recommendation of Roseberys or affiliated with Roseberys in anyway and as such Roseberys cannot be held responsible for the individual performance of these companies.

14. (a)
Description and Conditions Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description of a lot. Buyers are welcome to make an appointment to view any lots listed on an online only auction. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers�. Condition Reports. Reports on the condition of any lot are offered by the Auctioneers as a statement of opinion only, and not of fact. Rosebery Fine Art Ltd are not liable for any errors or omissions contained therein. The buyer must satisfy themselves to the condition of any given lot prior to bidding. Roseberys will not be held responsible for any damage or defect that has not been notified to the buyer. Catalogue illustrations are for guidance only and will not convey full information as to the actual condition of lots.

CONDITIONS OF SALE (c)
(d)
Where the term (a/f) is used this refers to a lot being ‘as found’, it is used for guidance only and indicates in our opinion there is significant damage or repair to an item, the omission of this term does not indicate there is not significant damage or repair to an item and Roseberys are not liable for the omission of this term. Private treaty sales made on these premises under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for the purposes of consumer legislation.
15. Forgeries. Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. Roseberys may require the buyer to obtain at the buyer’s cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Roseberys and the buyer. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the Lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) if you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition.
