Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers of Thomas Watson Auctioneers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our saleroom 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.
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 of 24%. Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive. Buyer’s Premium. The Conditions of Sale oblige buyers to pay a buyer’s premium of 24% on the hammer price of each lot purchased.
5.
VAT. The addition of (*) of (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 indicated 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.
Artist’s Resale Rights/Droit de Suite. Lots as indicated in the catalogue and if sold for the equivalent of 1,000 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 350,0001 to 500,000 Euros subject to 0.5% Exceeding 500,000 Euros subject to 0.25%
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.

6.
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. 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 or email. Please ensure bids are left at least one hour prior to the start of the auction. 13. Live Online bidding. (a) An online bidding service is offered via the-saleroom.com. In completing the bidder registration on this site the buyer is agreeing to Thomas Watson’s conditions of sale. (b) In the case where a debit or credit card has been used to register the buyer also agrees to authorise Thomas Watson’s, 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.

Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot.

Buyers are welcome to make an appointment to view any lots listed on an online 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.

Thomas Watsons 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. (c) 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 and Thomas Watsons are not liable for the omission of this term. (d) Private treaty sales made on these premises under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for the purpose 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 if from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. Thomas Watsons 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 Thomas Watsons and the buyer, if we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the Lot including 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. The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.
General. 16. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person. 17. Where a member of the public causes damage to a lot (or part thereof ) the Auctioneers reserve the right to: (a) Sell the aforementioned without reserve and to hold that specific individual liable for the amount of any difference between the hammer price and the reserve or low estimate; (b) Hold that specific individual liable for the cost of restoration where appropriate; (c) Hold that specific individual liable for the full amount of the reserve or lower estimate as applicable. 18.(a) Any right to compensation for the losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of an as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate.

Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail or email if provided in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting. 20. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of the catalogue. 21. Any indulgence extended to bidders or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect. 22.
