SALE INTRODUCTION Our 3rd July 2019 Furniture, Works of Art & Clocks sale will feature a number of notable collections. The sale will commence with over one hundred and twenty lots from the Estate of the late John F. Braund who ran Turpin's Antiques based in Thaxted in Essex. Along with his partner, Jane Sumner, they traded in Saffron Walden, Hungerford and London and exhibited at some of the finest antique fairs. The lots featured in the auction formed John's private collection based at his home, a converted Mill House in Essex. From treen to Windsor chairs, early boarded chests and burr tables the consignment is rich in objects of good colour, quality and rarity, a testament to John's keen eye. Following on from the Braund Collection we are delighted to be selling sculpture, works of art and carpets from the Estate of the late Mrs Mhari Brodrick of Dunley Manor, Whitchurch, Hampshire. Highlights include a late Gothic polychrome decorated limestone figure of St. John the Baptist and a marble relief in the manner of the Italian late Gothic sculptor Tino di Camaino. We are thrilled to be offering a fine 19th century North West Persian carpet of Harshang design on behalf of the Rt. Hon. The Earl Mountbatten of Burma. This wonderful carpet has graced Broadlands in Romsey for many years and is unusually almost square. The sale will also feature items from the Estate of the late Professor Rodney Fitch CBE, design guru and founder of Fitch. This collection formed part of the contents of his country residence Court House in Aldbourne, the interiors of which were designed by Robert Kime. Highlights include: two fantastic Ziegler carpets and a good George IV burr oak centre table by William Owen of Denbigh. Other highlights include: an impressive late 17th / early 18th century carved limewood relief panel depicting the Forge of Vulcan, formerly in the collection of Basil Ionides at Buxted Park, a fabulous collection of boxes, including: a Mughal ivory table cabinet, an early 18th century Vizagapatam writing box and a good Neapolitan tortoiseshell and mother of pearl casket. Finally the sale will feature three lots of furniture from Ston Easton Park, including a good George III serpentine dressing chest, and furniture and works of art from Lord Astor of Hever.

THE ESTATE OF THE LATE JOHN F. BRAUND (1928–2019) John Braund started his antique dealing in the late 1950s in Thaxted, Essex, and he opened his first shop there, trading under the name ‘Turpin's Antiques’, in a 15th century timber framed gabled house in Stony Lane. This was reputed to have been one of the haunts of Dick Turpin, the famous highwayman. Whilst doing some restoration work to the property, John was pleasantly surprised to find a flintlock pistol hidden in the inglenook chimney. (See lot 99). John and his partner, Jane Sumner, later opened shops in Saffron Walden, London and Hungerford. Turpin's Antiques exhibited at many of the country's leading antiques fairs over a period of some 40 years. John was a member of the British Antique Dealers’ Association for 46 years: “No mean feat” as the BADA Secretary General, Mark Dodgson, noted on hearing of John’s death. Over his many years dealing in antiques he built up a fine personal collection, which for the last years of his life furnished the beautiful period mill house in Essex which he renovated and lived in until he passed away in January of this year.

THE BROADLANDS HARSHANG CARPET 316. A fine 19th century North West Persian carpet of Harshang design, of unusual square shape, the ivory field with an all-over design and with a wide floral border, probably Azerbaijan, 443 x 456cm. ÂŁ5,000-8,000 Provenance: The Rt. Hon. The Earl Mountbatten of Burma, Broadlands, Romsey, Hampshire. This carpet has graced Broadlands the home of the Earl and Countess Mountbatten of Burma for many years and most recently was in the Ante Room (see photograph below). The original manor lands, known as Broadlands, belonged to Romsey Abbey before the Norman Conquest. In the early 18th century the estate was acquired by Henry Temple, 1st Viscount Palmerston. In 1767 a major transformation involving Henry Holland and Capability Brown led to the house at Broadlands becoming the Palladian mansion seen today. During the 19th century Broadlands remained the primary country estate of the 3rd Viscount Palmerston, the famous Victorian Prime Minister, and passing down through the family it remains today the country seat of the 3rd Earl Mountbatten of Burma. Harshang from the Persian word for crab, was a design that was popular throughout Persia in the 18th and 19th century, particularly in the North West of the country. It takes its name from its principal motif, which is a large oval crab-like design. It appears that the design was first used in the Khorassan district and in origin ultimately derives from the Isfahan 'in and out palmette' design. The pattern also bears some resemblance to palmettes from the Safavid period.

344. An Italian marble relief of St. John the Baptist after Tino di Camaino (c.1285-1337), depicting the saint wearing a cloak over a wool tunic, holding and pointing to a scroll, inscribed ‘ECCE AGNUS DEI’, in an integral arched frame, the back inscribed ‘ESHER’ and with inventory numbers ‘28635’, possibly Napoli, 50 x 39.2cm, mounted in a later oak and velvet frame, 66 x 54.2cm (overall). £4,000-6,000 Provenance: The Countess of Midleton, Eastwell Park Estate, Kent, thence by descent. Captain and Mrs Brodrick of Dunley Manor, Hampshire. Tino di Camaino (1280-1337) was born in Siena the son of the architect Camaino de Crescentino. He was a pupil of Giovanni Pisano and later followed his master to Pisa and subsequently worked in Florence where he executed the famous tomb of Bishop Orso at Santa Maria del Fiore and a bust of St. John the Baptist for the Florentine Baptistry, now in the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo di Santa Maria del Fiore. In 1323 he worked in Naples for the King Robert of Anjou and executed several funerary monuments, including the tomb of Catherine of Austria in San Lorenzo Maggiore, with further works in the church of Badia Cava dei Tirreni. The present lot bears a close resemblance to a relief of St. John the Baptist and Prophet which features in Francesca Baldelli’s 2007 Tino di Camaino monograph and which was sold by Casa Semenzato in Florence, 15th December 2001 for £128,000. Another related triple relief of the Madonna and child, St. Catherine of Alexandria and St. John the Baptist can be found in the Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena’s collection at the Museo Son Donato.

346. A carved marble figure of Eros sleeping, lying on the infant Hercules's lion's pelt spread over a rock, resting his head on his left arm, his right lying across his body and with his legs crossed, his hair with a central plait, the underside slightly hollowed, possibly Roman 1st-2nd century AD or later, 19.6cm high, 60.5cm wide, 29.5cm deep. ÂŁ3,000-5,000 Provenance: An English private collection, acquired by the vendor's parents probably from a Country House sale in the 1940/50s. This unpublished and hitherto anonymous statue of Cupid sleeping belongs to a class of sculptures that was favoured in ancient Roman sculpture, was revived in Renaissance Italy, and was later popularised in Baroque Rome by Algardi and particularly Francois Duquesnoy, with many variations on exact pose and subject. Therefore the present statue could potentially have originated in any of these epochs and there are only its appearance (veiled by weathering from exposure out of doors-for perhaps a couple of centuries at least) and circumstantial evidence to narrow the choice. It depicts the winged child god of love sleeping on a lion's skin which is an attribute of Hercules. There is one tale that tells of Cupid stealing his club, quiver and lion's skin suggesting that even the most powerful are vulnerable to the subtle cunning ways of love. The image of sleeping Cupid was used by the Romans in a variety of ways: as a fountain or garden ornament, a dedication to the gods or as possibly in this case as a funerary monument where the statue was used as a child's grave cover.

350. A late Byzantine carved ivory group of the Virgin and child, Mary is depicted breast feeding the Christ child who lies horizontally, probably Northern Italy, 13th / 14th century, 7cm high, later mounted on a velvet covered plinth. £3,000-4,000 Provenance: Purchased by the vendor from Howard Neville Antiques, 58 Davies Street, London and 21 The Pantiles, Tunbridge Wells, Kent on the 24th February 1998 as 12th century Byzantine. A copy of the receipt is available. Illustrated in ‘Gems & Jewels. Fact & Fable’ by Christopher Cavey, p. 103. This small but powerful statuette is related to a group of mysterious carvings which are little understood. There is a similar example in the V&A Museum collection and is illustrated in ‘Medieval Ivory Carvings 1200-1550’, by P. Williamson and G. Davies, cat. no. 182. The purpose of these carvings is unclear but one suggestion is that with similar ivories they would have formed a devotional panel / group.

WW102-586 Part Two.qxp_Layout 1 07/06/2019 17:00 Page 140
360. A large limewood relief panel depicting the Forge of Vulcan, carved with three central figures of Vulcan and his helpers, the Cyclopes, forging weapons and armour, directly copied from a painting by Theodoor Van Thulden (16061669), c.1649, with tools scattered on the floor, with a classical Renaissance style background of arches, the flaming fires of the forge visible and with a colonnade below a run of dilapidated palings and a pair of romantic figures, within a carved pine baton, shell and dart frame, later terracotta painted, Dutch or German, late 17th / early 18th century, 210.7 x 123.5cm. £8,000-12,000 Provenance: The conservatory of Buxted Park, Sussex. The Subject Matter Vulcan in Greek and Roman mythology is the god of fire and the blacksmith who forged the weapons of many gods and heroes. He is accompanied by his brawny assistants, the Cyclopes. The subject matter of Vulcan’s forge was a very popular one during the 17th century with many famous paintings, including works by Velazquez, Teniers and Lucas Giordano. The magnificent Heaven room by Antonio Verrio at Burghley House, Stamford features a wonderful depiction of Vulcan and the Cyclopes and the fashion for classical subject matter of this type was very strong throughout the country houses of England and Europe.
The Sculptor The central scene of the present lot is an almost direct copy of Theodoor van Thulden’s (1606-1669) painting ‘The Forge of Vulcan’ painted in 1649 as part of a decorative scheme for the Paleis Huis ten Bosch in the Hague which is the residential Palace of the King and Queen of Holland. Van Thulden’s painting can be found in the Oranjezaal (Orange Room) which was commissioned upon the death of Frederik Hendrik in 1647 and was built during the years 1648-1651 by Jacob van Campen. The painters chosen were considered the best in the Netherlands who painted in the style of Rubens and were mostly of Catholic origin. A total of thirty-one paintings decorate the room from floor to ceiling. Above one of the doors is a carved and painted wood relief panel by the famous Dutch sculptor Pieter Adriaensz. ‘t Hooft (16101650) and it is not inconceivable that the present panel was sculpted by a member of ‘t Hooft’s workshop or circle. It is very skilfully carved with wonderful attention to the musculature of the central figures and with great depth and perspective, with the eye being led through the various arches and colonnades. Although depicting a very Italianate classical scene it does have a Northern European feel, the arches are slightly Gothic in their shape and the ragged palings on the balcony and the pent-roof of wooden planks are reminiscent of Dürer’s engravings thus pointing to either a Netherlandish or German origin.
The Provenance Buxted Park was originally built in 1725 for Thomas Medley and in the early 19th century it passed by marriage to the Shuckburgh-Evelyn family. By the end of the 19th century Buxted again passed by marriage to the second viscount Portman who sold it in 1931 to the architect and art collector Basil Ionides and his wife Nellie, the daughter of the 1st Viscount Bearsted. With Nellie’s fortune (as the Shell Oil heiress) and Basil’s artistic eye they began restoring Buxted Park, utilising original 18th century architectural pieces from country houses around the country. A fireplace came from 19 Arlington Street, Robert Adam doors from nos. 23-25 Portland Place and an overmantel from Stowe, Buckinghamshire. Other items including the entrance doorway on the West side came from West Harling Hall, Norfolk , the seat of Richard Gipps Esq. The house was demolished in c.1932 and its contents were sold in two sales, one in 1929 conducted by Puttick and Simpson and another in 1931. Intriguingly the shell and dart carved moulding on our Vulcan relief bears close resemblance to a George II carved pine fireplace originally from West Harling Hall which was sold by Christie’s New York, Important American Furniture, 17th / 18th century, January 2019, lot 1308. One can speculate that the Vulcan relief was possibly part of an interior scheme at West Harling Hall, Norfolk, following the fashion for paintings of the Forge of Vulcan at English country houses, for example Luca Giordano’s oil, c.1660, part of Sir Robert Walpole’s Picture Gallery at the nearby Houghton Hall. The proximity to the Netherlands also adds an interesting link to a possible Dutch sculptor / place of manufacture.

361. An Italian bronze figure of Hercules, the divine hero standing holding his club, his left shoulder draped with the Nemean lion’s pelt, with bulging veins to his arms and feet, probably Florence, late 17th century, 48.5cm high, later mounted on a black marble plinth, 63.8cm high (overall). £15,000-20,000
For a comparable bronze almost certainly by the same sculptor see Sotheby’s, European Sculpture and Works of Art: Medieval to Modern, 5th December 2012, lot 61. The main difference between the two is the position of the clubs.In the present lot the club is resting on the floor, in the Sotheby’s example Hercules is holding the club diagonally across his chest. In their catalogue note Sotheby’s stated that the only other known cast of the bronze was attributed to Vincenzo de Rossi by Herbert Keutner in the bronze exhibition ‘Die Beschworung des Kosmos’. De Rossi is known to have worked on a series of the ‘Labours of Hercules’ for Duke Cosimo I. The closest comparison from De Rossi’s oeuvre is his statuette of Vulcan in the Studiolo of Francesco I in Palazzo Vecchio. This shares with the present bronze the closely cropped hairstyle and exaggerated musculature.

366. A Flemish bronze figure of Mars the Roman God of War, wearing a plumed helmet and with a sash over his left shoulder, he holds a spear in his right hand, on a later wood and bronze stepped plinth, 17th century, 42.4cm high (overall). £1,000-1,500 Provenance: Purchased from Chiswick Auctions, 24th May 2017, lot 38 for £5,000. This bronze of the Roman god Mars is after a French monumental statue commissioned by King Francois I of France from Benvenuto Cellini to crown a large square fountain in the courtyard of Fontainebleau. For this colossus Cellini says that he produced a model about 60cms high. The present smaller statuette (known in various casts with minor variations), of which Hildburgh owned an example (now in the V&A, A4-1944), differs from the larger Mars most obviously in the position of the helmet, here firmly on the head and there under the right foot. Nevertheless there does seem to be a vague connection and it is usually assumed that the statuettes reflect a wax model left behind in Cellini’s studio when he fled from France, perhaps for the Mars in the series of life-size silver statues bearing candlesticks in a raised hand, that he produced for the gallery of Francois I inside the chateau of Fontainebleau, whose actual appearance is unknown. See C. Avery ‘Cellini’s silver statues of the Gods for Fontainebleau’, in Studies in the Decorative Arts, The Bard Graduate Centre for Studies in the Decorative Arts, Design, and Culture, New York, XIV, no. 1, Fall-Winter 2006-2007,pp.2-18.

In 1842 William Halstaff went into partnership with Thomas Charles Hannaford and the business became known as Halstaff & Hannaford. They mutually dissolved their partnership in 1858 but the business continued trading under their names until 1898. The method of veneering sadeli mosaic involves the binding together of geometrically-shaped rods, each about two feet in length, of various materials, for example: tin, ivory, stained ivory, sappan wood, horn and ebony. They are arranged geometrically and then sliced through transversely and arranged into sheets of repeating patterns which are then glued onto the carcass. The main centre of production in India was Bombay and the earliest known pieces appear to have been produced in the first decade of the 19th century.

Neville (1957) by descent’. Antigone Clarke & Joseph O’Kelly, Antique Boxes, Tea Caddies & Society, 1700-1880, 2nd Edition, p.187, fig. 262. Apphia, Lady Lyttelton, née Witts (1743-1840) was born on the 27th April to a prosperous Oxfordshire family. After the death of her parents she set sail to India arriving in Calcutta in 1769 where she was set to marry her cousin, Richard Witts. However, he had died six months before she left England. More tragedy struck when her first husband, Colonel Joseph Peach of the 1st Bengal Regiment, died within six months of their marriage. In 1773 she married Thomas Lyttelton, 2nd Baron Lyttelton. See ‘Apphia, Lady Lyttelton: From the Cotswolds to Malvern by Way of India 1743-1840’ by Christine Bannister. See ‘Furniture from British India and Ceylon’ by Amin Jaffer, p. 188, no. 39. for a closely related box. Also, Christie’s, Le Gout Steinitz, III, 6th December 2007 for a very similar box, with an identical central panel. Work-boxes such as these were used by the English expatriates in India and were naturally used by the merchants of the East India Company. The densely scrolling foliage borders inlaid in ivory are typical of the manufactures of Vizagapatam, on the eastern Coromandel Coast of India.

The Duke of Wellington arrived in Calcutta in 1797 and was involved in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore war. His brother, Richard (Lord Mornington), was Governor-General of India between 1798 and 1805.

LOT SYMBOLS VAT Lots marked with an dagger (†) are subject to VAT on the hammer price.

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.

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. 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. 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. 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
WW102-586 Part Two.qxp_Layout 1 07/06/2019 17:03 Page 255
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.

WW102-586 Part Two.qxp_Layout 1 07/06/2019 17:03 Page 256
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. The Company reserves the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expect or authority considered by them to be reliable. (a) Edward Lear: In our opinion a work by the artist. (When the artist’s forename(s) is not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not, indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named. (b) Attributed to Edward Lear: In our opinion probably a work by the artist but less certainly as to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category. (c) Studio of Edward Lear: In our opinion a work by an unknown hand in the studio of the artist which may be or may not have been executed under the artist’s direction. (d) Circle of Edward Lear: In our opinion a work by an as yet unidentified but distinct hand, closely associated with the named artist but not necessarily his pupil. (e) Style of ...; Follower of Edward Lear: In our opinion a work by a painter working in the artist’s style, contemporary or nearly contemporary, but not necessarily his pupil. (f) Manner of Edward Lear: In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date. (g) After Edward Lear: In our opinion a copy of a known work of the artist. (h) The term signed and/or dated and/or inscribed means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription are from the hand of the artist.

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
