MEDALS

1. The Western Front Distinguished Conduct Medal to Private A. Teasdale, 3rd Battalion Coldstream Guards: D.C.M., George V (11768 PTE A. TEASDALE. 3/ C. GDS.), for gallantry in re-capturing a trench in the vicinity of the Hohenzollern Redoubt on the 8th October 1915, good very fine. £700-1,000 London Gazette (16/11/15): For great bravery and resource on the 8th October, 1915, near Loos. The enemy, having made an attack with great determination along the trenches occupied by his battalion, were successful in taking the trench on the left of that occupied by Private Teasdale and five other men, and came pouring into it. The situation was most critical. Realising what had happened he, accompanied by the other men, sprang forward and faced the enemy, driving them with bombs foot by foot down the trench, and recapturing the whole of it. This they did with the greatest gallantry in face of a determined opposition, clearing out of the trench at least ten times their number, and thus saving a critical situation.

2. A Military Cross, George V, unnamed as issued, in case of issue. Good very fine. £400-500

3. The Great War Military Medal group to Private Stanley Harrop, East Lancashire Regiment and Machine Gun Corps, comprising: M. M., George V (153557 PTE S. HARROP. 37/M.G.C.); British War and Victory Medals (38721 PTE. S. HARROP. E. LAN. R.), mounted for wearing (ribbons in the correct order, medals ordered: M.M., VM, BWM); with a ribbon bar bearing a second award rosette for the M.M.; a Divisional Gallantry Card, 2nd Division, congratulating the recipient (at this point in 2 Bn.) on ‘his bravery and skill in carrying out a daring reconnaissance for machine gun positions near Behagnies August 25th, 1918’; together with a presentation wristwatch, the 9 carat gold case inscribed ‘Presented to Stanley Harrop by St Andrews Church and School in Commemoration of his winning the Military Medal, European War 1914-1918. M.M. with official correction to regimental number, otherwise all good very fine, £500-700 watch not running and lacks strap. Military Medal L.G. 24/01/1919 (Amended 17/06/1919) Second award not verifiable. The unit diary for the 25th August 1918 does not name this man, but describes the advance in this area and note that “the advance of the machine gun section was most ably carried out..........the conduct of all ranks during the operation was beyond praise”

4. A Great War Air Force Cross and pair, believed to be a reconstituted group, to Captain Henry Taylor Horsefield, Royal Flying Corps: A.F.C., George V; British War Medal and Victory Medal (CAPT. H.T. HORSFIELD R.F.C.), later mounted, offered with research. £800-1,200 A.F.C. London Gazette 03/06/19 (probably in connection with valuable work as an instructor) Born 1889. Temporary 2nd Lt (general list), December 1914. Attached 13th Bn. The Worcester Regiment. Transferred R.F.C. 1916. Dogfight over Walencourt 16/10/16 in which his BE2e was damaged and his Observer wounded. The complete group of three was sold at action 23rd June 2005, and the BWM and Victory Medal alone were then sold 7th March 2007, the A.F.C. having been separated. The current owner bought this group at auction (a different auction house) in October 2010, and the likelyhood that the original A.F.C. had been restored to the pair seems slim, hence the supposition that the present group has been made up with a replacement.

5. The Military Cross group of medals to Captain Ralph Daniel Flunder, Canadian Infantry and Cheshire Regiment: M.C., George V, with second award bar (see footnote); 191415 Star (13231 PTE R.D. FLUNDER. 5/CAN: INF:); British War Medal and Victory Medal (CAPTAIN R.D. FLUNDER.); France: Croix de Guerre; offered together with:a 1939-45 Star, Africa Star with 8th Army bar, Italy Star, France and Germany Star with oak leaf, Defence Medal, Canadian Volunteer Service Medal, British War Medal 1939-45; a mounted set of dress miniatures representing the foregoing medals, and including: 1914 Star and Bar, I.G.S. with clasp North West Frontier 193637, Coronation Medal 1911, U.S. Legion of Merit, and Belgian Croix de Guerre. Medals about very fine or nearly so, ribbons and mountings deranged and tatty. £500-600 Nb: Confirmed entitlement is to a single M.C., a 1914-15 Star trio, and the French Croix de Guerre. Military Cross: L.G. 04/10/19. He commanded a battalion during the operations (near Menin, on 14th, 15th and 16th October, 1918, with great skill and gallantry. His thorough organisation and the perfect handling of his men at the start ensured success. The complete confidence which he inspired in his men contributed very largely to the success of the operations. Second award not confirmed.

5 not to scale

Left the British Army in 1921, returned to Quebec, later becomes a U.S. citizen. Entitlement to the miniature medals from the I.G.S. onward is not only unconfirmed but unlikely.

6. An interesting Distinguished Service Order and double Military Cross group of dress miniatures, comprising: D.S.O. George V; M.C. and Bar, George V; Order of St John, badge; 1914-15 Star, British War Medal 1914-20 and Victory Medal with oak leaves; Honduras: Order of Santa Rosa and Civilization; and another foreign order badge, eight pointed enamelled star with five pointed star to the centre suspended from a mural crown; mounted for wearing, extremely fine or nearly so. £250-300

7. The Second World War Pacific Theatre submarine warfare Distinguished Service Medal and King’s Commendation for Bravery group to Leading Seaman Ronald Fentiman: D.S.M., George VI, IND. IMP. (L.S.

8. The impressive Second World War and post war experimental flying D.F.C. group to Flight Lieutenant Denis Graham William Tayler, O.B.E., D.F.C., R.A.F.V.R: O.B.E., breast badge, 2nd type; Distinguished Flying Cross, reverse dated 1944; 1939-45 Star; copy Air Crew Europe Star and France and Germany Bar; Defence Medal; War Medal 1939-45, mounted for wearing; the John Derry and Anthony Richards memorial medal, inscribed to D.G.

Medals good very fine or better. £1,000-1,500 D.F.C. London Gazette 06/06/44 O.B.E. London Gazette 31/05/56 The recipient was born in Lymington, Hampshire, 19th September 1920 and enlisted as Aircraftman 2nd Class 18th April 1940. By the time his D.F.C. was gazetted he was a Flying Officer serving with No 139 Squadron (then part of the Pathfinder Force), flying mosquitos on raids over Germany. He took part in the celebrated ‘last raid of the war’ on Kiel, 2nd May 1945. Following the war he continued his aviation career as a test pilot, flying in a huge variety of aircraft. Of particular note are photographs of Tayler with the prototype Shorts Belfast, which he piloted for its 55 minute maiden voyage on the 5th January 1964.

Accompanied by: the recipient’s stable belt, blue with chromed buckle bearing the SAS badge; a copy of his discharge certificate and other documents; a Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife, 3rd model, blade etched with the Wilkinson brand, regulation leather scabbard, acquired by the recipient from stores on the Falkland Islands; after David Shepherd, ‘16 Princes Gate’, a print depicting the descent of the Embassy stairs, number 38 of 850, bearing artist’s pencil signature; after John Tidewell, ‘Princes Gate, The Back Door’; a collection of press photographs of the raid depicting SAS members preparing to enter the embassy at various points; floor plans of the embassy; ‘Now’ magazine complimentary copy ‘Britain’s Arab Terror - The Killers In Our Midst’, May 9-15 1980; Daily Express Special Edition: ‘The Day of the S.A.S.’; and various press cuttings and related ephemera. The persecution of the Arab population of Iran’s Khuzestan region by Ayatollah Khomeini (and his predecessors the Shahs) had inspired an implacable resistance movement which received support from Iraq under Saddam Hussein. The Arabs themselves were concerned with political and social rights. Hussein exploited this fact to manoeuvre against his rival the Ayatollah. Specifically, he believed that an attack staged in the West would draw attention to the plight of Khuzestan, and allow him to garner international approval for his planned invasion of Iran. With Iraqi backing, a six man team, the ‘Group of the Martyr’, occupied the Embassy on the 30th April, taking 26 people hostage. The response was initially led by the police, but the S.A.S. acted immediately by deploying a team to the area in case their intervention was requested by the civil authorities. While they waited, they evolved a plan, and when, on the sixth day, a hostage was shot and his body thrown out of the embassy, the men of the Special Air Service went into action under the gaze of the television media. Within 17 minutes, the siege was at an end. Ian White was part of the team that entered the embassy from the roof. An explosive charge was lowered into a light well in the centre of the building and detonated as a distraction, and White’s team abseiled into the lightwell to gain access through a window. During the descent, his secondary weapon, a Browning 9mm pistol, was lost owing to the notoriously poor quality holster with which the men were equipped. Nothing daunted, he continued from room to room, clearing each with ‘flashbangs’ and techniques perfected through rigorous training. He almost met with disaster while descending to a lower floor, as another team approaching the foot of his staircase directed sub-machinegun fire along the corridor into which he was about to step. He next encountered the well documented fire that had broken out owing to many of the curtains and carpets having been impregnated with accelerants. By sheer coincidence he had just completed a firefighting course, with the aim of posing undercover as an airport fireman, and this assisted him in temporarily controlling the blaze together with a colleague. The evacuation of the hostages involved forming a human chain to pass each one down the main staircase and out of the building to safety. White stood at the top of the chain, and such was the urgency of the situation that he resorted, effectively, to throwing them down the stairs. One of the terrorists concealed himself among the hostages, and because of the speed at which the S.A.S. were working that he was thrown down along with the rest of them. White saw in his hand a grenade, and, unable to shoot down the stairs for fear of hitting a hostage, he and others shouted a warning to their colleagues below, who killed the terrorist before he could use it. All but one of the hostages alive at the start of the operation were rescued, and five of the six terrorists were killed - the sixth being captured. The team next had the chance to watch the news footage of their work. They did so in the company of the Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, for whom the operation had been a considerable publicity coup, foreshadowing her popular aggressive stance over the Falkland Islands (where White was also to be deployed), and demonstrating to the world that Britain was not the soft target that Saddam Hussein had imagined. Their work done, they returned to Hereford at high speed, and the rapidity and decisive efficiency of the S.A.S. action is underscored by the fact that when White arrived home his wife suffered an adverse reaction to the residue from the ‘flashbangs’ that he had been using, which lingered on his clothing. The embassy siege is well known, and rightly celebrated, as the point at which the S.A.S. became famous. Since its genesis during the Second World War it had maintained a low public profile, consistent with the discrete and sometimes clandestine nature of its methods. In May 1980 it sprang from obscurity onto the television screens and made an indelible impression on the public mind. But these events are important for other reasons. It was a notable tactical success, and in spite of what the modesty of White and others would suggest, this was by no means a foregone conclusion. Counter terrorism was an emerging form of warfare, and the success of Operation Nimrod was in contrast to a certain nearcontemporary actions which had ended very badly. It is revealing to note the various mishaps that occurred, some of which affected White directly; because none of them influenced the outcome of the mission. Problems that could have resulted in failure were nullified by the professionalism of the S.A.S. It also confirmed, emphatically, the relevance of the S.A.S. in the post-war era. Prior to Operation Nimrod this had been called into doubt, and the regiment was threatened by budget cuts, and possible disbandment. After Nimrod its value was beyond dispute, and it future was secured. The recipient participated in the seminal S.A.S. action of the post war years, a major milestone in the history of the regiment - and of special forces more generally - making this group a truly historic acquisition for the collector.

10. The superb Waterloo Medal to Captain and Brevet Major Edward Hawkins Cheney, 2nd Royal North British Dragoons (Scots Greys), who took part in the glorious and tragic charge of his regiment, having five horses shot under him, the command of the Scots Greys devolving upon him following the death of Lt-Col. James Hamilton; fitted with contemporary straight silver suspension (CAPT. EDW. CHENEY, 2nd or R.N. BRIT. REG. DRAG), on a length of contemporary ribbon with an orange rosette affixed by a pin; together with an agate and white metal table snuff box bearing the recipient’s initials together with the Cheney family crest. £5,000-8,000 The charge of the British heavy cavalry, of which the 2nd North British Dragoons (Scots Greys) was a part, took place at a critical juncture in the Battle of Waterloo. Napoleon had ordered D’Erlon’s corps (16,000 strong) to attack the centre-left of the Anglo-Allied line. The staggering weight of this assault was forcing the British infantry to give ground, and, had they succumbed, there are good grounds to suppose that the battle would have been lost. At this moment, on the initiative of their Commander, Lord Uxbridge, the British heavy cavalry launched a devastating counter attack against the French Infantry. The Scots Greys made a ferocious assault upon the French 45th Line Regiment, shattering its ranks and capturing its standard, and the tide of the battle was turned. Unhappily, the cavalry then pursued its charge beyond the endurance of their horses and all hope of support, and were badly mauled in their turn. The ferocity of the action, and the superlative courage of the men who charged on that day, is illustrated by the fate of the Colonel of the Greys, John Inglis Hamilton, who lost both his arms but continued to charge with his horse’s reins held in his mouth, before being shot though the heart. It was at this point that Cheney took command of the regiment, and held it for the final three hours of the battle. Born the second son of Robert Cheney of Derbyshire, 4th November 1778, Edward Cheney is commemorated by a dramatic marble statue in the parish church of Gaddesby, which depicts him urging his men on, his headdress fallen away, as he rises from his stricken fifth horse. He joined the regiment as a Cornet in Holland in 1794, where he was severely wounded. He commanded a troop at Waterloo, until the death of Colonel Hamilton, whereupon he took command of the regiment. The two majors (Clarke and Henkin) are shown on the roll as having been wounded, and this may explicate the choice of a Captain to take command. It may also be pertinent that Cheney, though generally referred to by his substantive and regimental rank of Captain, was at the time Brevet Major.

Two medals to 3749 Private James Church, 41st Foot: Crimea 1854-56, clasp: Sebastopol (JAS CHURCH, 41ST REGT.), officially impressed, suspension possibly restored, near very fine; Army Long Service and Good Conduct, 2nd type obverse (3749 PTE J CHURCH. 41ST FOOT), very fine.

An interesting group of five medals to Victor George Alma Seager, R.N.V.R., who served with Carnac Battery of the Royal Naval Siege Guns near Nieuport: British War Medal 1914-20, Victory Medal (L.Z.4610 V. G. A. SEAGER. A.B. R.N.V.R.); Defence Medal; Special Constabulary Long Service Medal, George VI (VICTOR G. SEAGER); French Croix de Guerre, with bronze star; together with a small quantity of ephemera and research, including a XVth Corps card signed by General Du Cane citing the recipient’s ‘Good and Valuable Service and Devotion to Duty’, two similar cards from 36th Army Group Artillery Lourde (French Heavy Artillery), and a collection of photographs including the recipient in uniform wearing his Croix De Guerre, and studies of the Naval gun emplacements in Belgium. Medals good very fine or better. £350-450 During the Great War the Royal Navy - specifically the Dover Patrol - established heavy artillery positions at the Northern extremity of the Western Front. Working closely with the French, and at times under their control, the officers and men of the Royal Naval Siege Guns fought a gruelling campaign under intense and sustained bombardments and gas attacks. Carnac battery was particularly celebrated for its endurance and effectiveness, being cited in French Army Corps orders. The recipient himself appears to have made a significant contribution to this, being the specific subject of a similar order for “readiness and calmness under fire” and receiving the Croix De Guerre; and he was furthermore commended by the British Army after they had taken over his part of the line. 17.

The details of his death have not been traced, but it is of interest to note that the 13th August 1940, known to the Germans as ‘Adlertag’ was the first day of the main German assault in their attempt against British Air dominance which was to become known as the Battle of Britain.

This day saw the continuation of efforts by the Royal Navy, in concert with merchant seamen, to clear Turkish mines from the Dardanelles under intense bombardment from shore batteries. Burrows would already have been in action for several days by this point, and so excoriating had been the enemy fire that Admiral Carden had been obliged to place Naval volunteers on the civilian mine sweepers in order to stiffen their resolve. Amethyst was concentrating her fire on the Turkish searchlights, when a 6 inch shell penetrated her armour and exploded in the area of the stocker’s mess deck.

MILITARIA 306. Napoleon Bonaparte: an historic early plaster death mask, at one time known as the 'King' mask, and bearing an inscription by Sir Hudson Lowe, who was governor of Saint Helena during the time of Napoleon's captivity on the island. £20,000-30,000 The practice obtained, during the 18th and 19th Centuries, of making plaster casts of the heads or faces of important or wealthy individuals, either before or after death, so that a physical record of their appearance might be left to posterity. Napoleon Bonaparte declined to have a 'life cast' made, and when he died in exile at Longwood House on the South Atlantic island of Saint Helena in 1821, the creation of a death mask was found to be fraught with difficulty. None of the individuals present had any experience in carrying out such delicate work, and it appears, moreover, to have taken some time for a supply of the gypsum necessary for the production of the plaster to be obtained. Yet here was a man of almost unparalleled historic stature and to his adoring attendants the imperative of preserving his likeness was irresistible. The matter was first referred to Napoleon's personal physician, Francesco Antommarchi, who recoiled from the responsibility (though he was later to claim the credit for the mask). The difficult task fell instead to the surgeon of the 66th Regiment of Foot, Francis Burton M.D., who was able to make a single 'negative' mould of the Emperor's head. The unique original 'positive' cast that he produced (unique because the front of the mould was destroyed during the removal of the cast) was the progenitor of all subsequent Napoleon death masks. The process by which further copies were made is not well documented, but many were produced in Europe by Antommarchi, when, following Burton's death in 1828, the Italian capitalised on his pretended authorship of the original mask (to which he appears to have had access for the purpose of making copies, courtesy of the Count and Countess Bertrand, who stole it from Burton at Longwood). These were sold by subscription, and extant examples include an extension below the neck impressed with a seal mark. Various other copies were also made in Europe and elsewhere, but the most important subset comprises those that were made on the Island of Saint Helena itself. In his 1915 work 'The Story of Napoleon's Death Mask', the eminent scholar George Leo De St M. Watson hypothesizes that the secondary mould made at Longwood was the work of the artist Joseph William Rubidge, who took advantage of a brief interval between Burton completing the first cast and Madame Bertrand arrogating it; and Watson further avers that only one cast, the so called 'Sankey Mask' was taken from this mould. More recent scholarship recognises the existence of a greater number of locally made masks (the work either of Rubidge, Antommarchi or the two acting in concert), such as the 'Boys' mask - a kind of twin to the 'Sankey' mask (in that both were originally in the possession of the Reverend Richard Boys, chaplain to the H.E.I.C. in St Helena), and the two known as the 'Gilley' masks, which were presented to one Lieutenant Gilley by the erstwhile governor of Saint Helena Sir Hudson Lowe (a point of particular interest in considering the mask offered here, which bears his inscription). Sir Hudson Lowe (1769-1844) arrived on Saint Helena April 14th 1816, having heard of his appointment as governor on August 1st 1815. He made only six official visits to Napoleon during the following five years. A stern disciplinarian, he was reviled by the French for the harsh and restrictive regime that he imposed on the former Emperor. The so-called ‘King Mask’ (offered here) came to public notice in the late 1960s, at which time its owner, Miss Phyllis King, was considering its sale, and appears also to have included it in an exhibition devoted to Napoleon. The mask was the subject of correspondence in the national press, and of particular interest are the comments of two individuals: the recognised authority Baron Eugene de Veauce, author of 'Les Maques Mortuares de Napoleon'; and an antiquarian named Douglas Maher. Between them these men authenticated the handwriting of Sir Hudson Lowe, thus setting the keystone of this mask's provenance, which was established as follows: 1) Acquired by Sir Hudson Lowe at an unknown date and donated, with inscription to the English town of Stamford (with which he had a association), there to reside in the town museum. 2) Bought through the auctioneer Charles Eade following the closure of the museum in 1919, by a Mrs Atkinson of St Leonard Street, Stamford. 3) Given by her to Edmund Balding, Solicitor, of 60 Russell Square London, who dies with it in his possession. 4) Bought out of his effects by Miss Phyllis King. 5) Bought at auction by the current owner in 1978 The two aforementioned men differed on the question of whether the King mask originated on Saint Helena or in Europe; but even de Veauce (who favoured the latter conclusion) regarded it as a highly important member of the death mask 'family', which also includes many well-regarded examples without any Longwood provenance. De Veauce in fact went further, and assigned to it a unique and important distinction: that it emphatically quashed a then-current contention that the face represented by the Napoleon death masks was not that of the erstwhile Emperor at all. Since it has the endorsement of Sir Hudson Lowe, who had met Bonaparte, and who had nothing to gain by dissembling, the King Mask proves that all similar masks, from Burton's original downward, are the true likeness of the great man himself. Maher on the other hand, as may be seen from the correspondence, felt convinced that the King Mask was made on St Helena, and there is much in the circumstantial evidence to encourage this belief (and circumstancial evidence, after all, forms an important part of the scaffolding supporting the authenticity of such masks, existing as they do in an atmosphere of scant or non-existent primary documentation). Lowe is directly associated with the Gilley Masks, which he took away from Saint Helena, it is thought, following a short visit on his way home from Ceylon 1830. Whether he obtained them then, or before he left for the first time in 1821, it is entirely feasible that he may have had a third copy for himself. The physical appearance of the mask accords with that of other examples that are acknowledged to have been made on Saint Helena, and lacks many of the attributes of the Antommarchi subscription copies, including the seal mark. The King Mask is an object of great historic importance, irrespective of the conclusion that one draws from the available evidence. It clearly pre-dates 1844, when Sir Hudson Lowe died, and to de Veauce it is “not only important to Napoleonic iconography, but possessing the most direct bearing on the whole question of the death mask….a capital piece of evidence….it is of the highest interest to every student of Napoleon, let alone to every owner of a Napoleon mask..” The final words shall be left to de Veauce’s collaborator Maher: “…since the inscription states that the effigy is the ‘Death Mask of Napoleon’, not a copy thereof, this could mean that it derives from…the secondary mould made at St. Helena……it would seem inconceivable that, knowing a mould was being made, Sir Hudson would not have secured a cast…” Offered with a large collection of letters and other ephemera, including a verified sample of Sir Hudson Lowe’s handwriting, mainly dating from the late 1960s, when the King Mask was most recently help up to scrutiny.

[to Elba]…Madame XXX gives this precious relic to her friend Mme Armingand as she is the most suited to keep it [safe]. Eleonore XXX, 85 years old on the 16th of September 1874."

Captain Cooper-Key was the talented officer who accompanied Parkes in his search for the Governor, and who personally caught and restrained him after the Consul had been deceived by a decoy. In 1856 Guangdong (Canton) was one of five Chinese ports through which, under the terms of the 1842 Treaty of Nanking, the British were allowed limited commercial access to China. Signed against the background of British aggression and their iniquitous trade in opium, the term of the treaty were ongoing source of offence to the Chinese. For their part the British were dissatisfied with the limited nature of the concessions that had been made to them, and a pretext for further violence was soon found in the ‘Arrow Incident’ of 1856, in which a vessel with a spurious claim to British registration was seized by the Chinese. The initial focus for hostilities was Canton, which the British approached from their base in Hong Kong. Here they were opposed by Ye Mingchen. In December 1857 a concerted effort to take the city by a combined force of British and French sailors and soldiers met with success. Captain Cooper-Key of H.M.S. Sans Pareil went ashore to command part of the naval brigade in the assault. His men, though initially delayed, scaled the 30 foot high walls under fire, and later accompanied Admiral Sir Michael Seymour on a circuit of the ramparts, disabling the Chinese guns. The capture of their adversary Ye Mingchen was a priority for the British, and Cooper-Key, with 100 men, accompanied the British Consul Harry Parkes on a hunt through the labyrinthine streets. Arriving at a palace, Parkes initially accepted the surrender of a man claiming to be Ye, before Cooper-Key found the real governor attempting to escape, and personally apprehended him with the assistance of his Coxwain. The feather was preserved in his family with a note indicating that it had been taken from Mingchen’s own cap. References: Vice Admiral P. H.

LOT SYMBOLS VAT Lots marked with an dagger (†) are subject to VAT on the hammer price. Lots marked with an omega ( ) have been temporarily imported from outside the EU and are subject to VAT at 5% on the hammer price and the buyer’s premium. In online catalogues, the Sales Tax % column indicates the rate of VAT on hammer price. CITES REGULATIONS Please note that lots marked may be subject to CITES Regulations when exported. The CITES Regulations may be found at www.defra.gov.uk/ahvla-en/imports-exports/cites/ ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT / DROIT DE SUITE Lots marked with a ‡ symbol are potentially subject to a levy. Droit de Suite is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or the artist’s heirs each time a work is resold during the artist’s lifetime and up to a period of 70 years after the artist’s death. Royalties are calculated on a sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium. The royalty does not apply to lots selling below the sterling equivalent of 1,000 and the maximum royalty payable on any single lot is the sterling equivalent of 10,000. Droit de Suite, which is not subject to VAT, will be added to the buyer’s purchase price and then passed on to the relevant collecting agency. Please enquire for the accepted exchange rate on the day of the sale. Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows: 4% Up to 50,000 3% 50,000.01 - 200,000 1% 200,000.01 - 350,000 0.5% 350,000.01 - 500,000 0.25% In excess of 500,000 Up to a maximum levy of 10,000 FIREARMS Lots marked Ƒ in the catalogue are subject to the UK firearms/shotgun licencing regime, and may only be viewed and/or purchased by individuals with appropriate licences.

SOCIETY OF FINE ART AUCTIONEERS AND VALUERS and the ROYAL INSTITUTION OF CHARTERED SURVEYORS CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION FOR BUYERS 1. Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All sales are conducted on our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection 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 and certainly will not be below it. 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. The purchase price. Asian Art sales: The Buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon of 25% plus VAT @20% (totalling 30% inclusive) on the first £500,000 and 12% plus VAT @20% (14.4% inclusive) thereafter. All other sales: The Buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon of 22% plus VAT @20% (totalling 26.4% inclusive) on the first £500,000 and 14.4% inclusive of VAT @20% thereafter. 5. VAT. (†) indicates that VAT at the current standard rate is payable by the purchaser on the hammer price as well as being an element in 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. The omega symbol ( ) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer’s premium). 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. 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. However, in so far as we have examined the goods and make a representation about their condition, we shall be liable for any defect which that examination ought to have revealed to the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer had the buyer examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstances lots misdescribed because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is a 3 week time limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale). 7. Electrical goods. These are sold as ‘antiques’ only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. 8. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required for the goods to leave the U.K. and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing the goods in question into the destination country because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Charges may be applicable for export licences. Ask us if you need help. The denial of any permit or licence shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale contract or any delay in payment. 9. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification will be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding. 10. Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding 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 the leaving of commission bids by telephone or fax. 11. Methods of Payment. As a general rule any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted. Please discuss

with our Office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment are envisaged (except cash). 12. Collection and storage. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected promptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying storage charges.

TERMS OF CONSIGNMENT FOR SELLERS 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 is charged to sellers at the following rates: 15% + VAT on each lot sold for up to £999, 10% + VAT on each lot realising £1,000 and above. 3. Removal costs. Items for sale must be consigned to the sale room 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. 4. Loss and damage waiver. We are not regulated by the FSA for the provision of insurance to clients. However, we for our own protection assume liability for property consigned to us at lower pre-sale estimate. To justify accepting liability, we make a charge of 1.5% of the hammer price plus VAT or, if unsold, our mid estimate of the hammer price. If the owner of goods consigned instructs us in writing not to take such action, they then remain at 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 is inapplicable. 5. Illustrations. The cost of any illustrations is borne by you. If we consider that the lot should be illustrated your permission will usually be asked first. The copyright in respect of such illustrations shall be the property of us, the auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue. 6. Minimum bids and our discretion. Goods may be offered subject to a reserve agreed between us before the sale in accordance with clause 7. 7. We may sell lots below the reserve provided we account to you for the same sale proceeds as you would have received had the reserve been the hammer price. If you specifically give us ‘discretion’ we may accept a bid of up to 10% below the formal reserve. . Reserves. (a) You are entitled to place prior to the auction 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 (in which case goods carry the storage and insurance charges stipulated in these Terms of Consignment). (b) A reserve once set cannot be changed except with our consent. (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. 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 but we are or ought to have been aware of it.

WW102-466 Listing.qxp_Layout 1 30/10/2017 16:27 Page 93

11. Unsold and withdrawn items. If an item is unsold it may with your consent be re-offered at a future sale. Where in our opinion an item is unsaleable you must collect such items from the saleroom promptly on being so informed. Otherwise, storage charges may be incurred. We reserve the right to charge for storage in these circumstances at a reasonable daily rate. 12. Withdrawn and bought in items. These are liable to incur a charge of up to 10% plus VAT of the reserve or low estimate on being bought in or withdrawn after being catalogued. 13. Conditions of Sale. You agree that all goods will be sold on 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 at the stated rate and all expenses incurred for your account from the hammer price 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 in our discretion to negotiate a sale by private treaty not later than the close of business on the day of the sale 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 sale instructions and reserve the right to make minimum warehousing charge of £2 per lot 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 three weeks 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. Subject to our normal trading conditions, payment will be made by BACS or cheque 5 weeks after the sale 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.

WW102-466 Listing.qxp_Layout 1 30/10/2017 16:27 Page 94

10. COMMISSION BIDS Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition, we will if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so save where such failure is unreasonable. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. 11. WARRANTY OF TITLE AND AVAILABILITY The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you that the seller is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 12. AGENCY The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by sellers or buyers. 13. TERMS OF SALE The seller acknowledges that lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the lot. 14. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (a) 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 applied to a lot. 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’. (b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for 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. 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) 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.

PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS, LITHOGRAPHS, ENGRAVINGS AND PRINTS In accordance with long standing practice in Fine Art Sale Rooms certain terms used in descriptions in the Catalogue have the meanings ascribed to them in the glossary below. Glossary Any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date, age, provenance and condition is a statement of opinion and is not to be taken as a statement of fact.

ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT / DROIT DE SUITE

21. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.

Lots marked with a ‡ symbol are potentially subject to the levy.

Droit de Suite is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or the artist’s heirs each time a work is resold during the artist’s lifetime and up to a period of 70 years after the artist’s death. Royalties are calculated on a sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium. The royalty does not apply to lots selling below the sterling equivalent of 1,000 and the maximum royalty payable on any single lot is the sterling equivalent of 10,000. Droit de Suite, which is not subject to VAT, will be added to the buyer’s purchase price and then passed on to the relevant collecting agency by the auctioneer. Please enquire for the accepted exchange rate on the day of the sale. Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows: 4% Up to 50,000 3% 50,000.01 - 200,000 1% 200,000.01 - 350,000 0.5% 350,000.01 - 500,000 0.25% In excess of 500,000 Up to a maximum levy of 10,000

Valuations PROBATE VALUATIONS We offer a speedy and professional service for executors and trustees and provide bound valuations for probate and duplicate copies when required. Since security is often a consideration, we can usually arrange for a house to be cleared and sent for auction, our Valuations Department ensures that executors are informed of which sales are involved and the results thereof.

Valuations are a core part of our business and are usually carried out by a senior specialist or directors. Accuracy, speed and above all confidentiality are paramount. INSURANCE VALUATIONS Written valuations for insurance can vary from a single item to a large estate. Before starting we discuss the various options available so that the valuation is specifically tailored to individual client’s needs.

We also carry out valuations for Family Division, Capital Gains Tax, and Private Treaty Sales.

For valuations of an entire house contents an itemised bound valuation is produced and can be accompanied by photographs when required. In addition to providing an inventory, written valuations can prevent painful arguments with a loss adjuster in the event of a claim.

Contact Amanda Lawrence 01722 424509 FREE AUCTION VALUATIONS Free verbal valuations of items for sale are available at our Castle Street salerooms. Please telephone the relevant specialist or call our office on 01722 424500.

Woolley & Wallis valuations are accepted by all leading insurance companies.
