A RARE GEORGE I JAPANNED TRIANGULAR GAMES TABLE c.1720 the Chinese black lacquer tilttop gilt decorated with watery scenes of pagodas, bridges and willow trees, centred with the arms of the Tower family of Weald Hall, inscribed with the motto ‘Love and dread’, with floral diaper borders and three divided counter wells, on an English ebonised baluster stem and tripod cabriole legs and pad feet, with three paper depository labels for the Tower family 72.5cm high, 111.5cm wide, 97.8cm deep Provenance A Private Collection. Literature Ralph Edwards, The Dictionary of English Furniture, vol.III, p.198, fig.20. Catalogue Note The Tower Family of Weald Hall is descended from Thomas Tower of Wryesdale who died in 1659. His son Christopher went to London and prospered as a merchant, eventually becoming Deputy Collector of Customs for the Port of London. He died in 1728 leaving two sons, Christopher and Thomas. Christopher Tower (16941771) was a Whig politician and an MP between 17271742, with his family seat at Huntsmoor Park, near Iver in Buckinghamshire. His brother, Thomas (16981778), was a lawyer and an MP who got elected to Parliament for Wareham in 1729 and bought Weald Hall in 1759. There are no written records to say who commissioned this rare triangular card table but it was probably Thomas before he acquired Weald Hall, sometime in the 1720s. The unusual triangular table top was made for the three player tricktaking card game Ombre or ‘hombre’, which originated in Spain in the 16th century but its popularity swept through Europe at the end of the 17th century and into the 18th century. Ombre was the first card game in which a trump suit was established by bidding rather than by the random process of turning the first card of the stock which gives this game its historical importance in the field of playing cards. Although little played today, Ombre has been described as "the most successful card game ever invented”.

The use of an unusual cut of mahogany is a strong feature. The layout of the interior which is very typical and use of a pen and ink drawer which is very similar to one that can be found in Sabine Winns’ ‘secretary’ supplied for the Winns’ London house at 11 St. James’s Square. The most unusual feature of this bureau is the arrangement of the top drawer with lopers which sit flush side by side with no vertical rail to keep them in position. This design can be seen in a ‘desk (bureau) and bookcase’ in the 1762 Director. This might be a feature that offered a slight cost saving or it could be a provincial design used by someone working in tandem with Chippendale.

ALFRED DE ROTHSCHILD (1842-1918) Alfred was the second son of Baron Lionel de Rothschild (18081879) and grandson to Nathan Mayer de Rothschild (17711836). His father Baron Lionel was a passionate art collector with a wonderful collection of Old Master paintings from the Dutch and Flemish schools and Renaissance works of art. He was often competing for treasured items with his brother Mayer Amschel de Rothschild at Mentmore and his cousins based in Austria and France. On his death the collection was divided between his three sons, Nathaniel, Leopold and Alfred. Alfred subsequently followed in his father’s footsteps adding to the collection and by the end of the 19th century Alfred was considered, according to Lady Neville ‘the finest amateur judge of French eighteenthcentury art in England’. He was a prominent figure in the art world helping to open the Wallace Collection and was a significant art collector competing with his cousin Ferdinand de Rothschild (18391898) for the choicest lots. His fine collection of Renaissance works of art, 18th century paintings and French furniture and objects was divided between his London town house, One Seamore Place and his grand country home, Halton House in Buckinghamshire. Halton House was built between 1881 1884 and its interiors were recorded in a series of photographs by the royal photographer S.G. Payne in 1888. Alfred’s collection of paintings, furniture and works of art was also catalogued and published in 1884 by the eminent art dealer Charles Davis. The majority of the following eighteen lots were part of Alfred’s collection, lots 258, 259 and 262 are listed in the catalogue and lot 261 features in a photograph taken in 1888 of the Red Room at Halton. They subsequently passed by descent to Lionel de Rothschild (18821942) and thence to Edmund de Rothschild (19162009). Opposite: The front cover of the Catalogue of the Collection formed by Alfred de Rothschild by Charles Davis 1884.

Weight, 185 1/4oz. Height, 14in. No marks. English, eighteenth century'. Catalogue Note In the 17th and 18th centuries the fashion for all things oriental and exotic ensured models of elephants and rhinoceros to be imported in various styles and media, including porcelain. In the 18th century, Meissen began to produce similar models based on eastern prototypes and the present lot owes much to the elephant and rhinoceros groups modelled by J. J. Kändler and P. Reinicke in the 1740s.

THE BORGHESE VASE The Borghese Vase is a monumental bellshaped kylix sculpted from Pentelic marble. It was made in the second half of the 1st century BC in Greece as a lavish garden ornament for the Roman market. The vase was discovered in 1566 in the gardens of Sallust in Rome together with a Silenus with Infant Bacchus and by 1645 the vase was in the Borghese Villa. On the 27th September 1807 it was acquired by Napoleon Bonaparte and was sent to Paris and placed in the Louvre where it has remained since 1811. It is one of the most influential and admired Greek sculptural vases and was frequently copied in the 18th century with bronze reductions by Zoffoli and Righetti and other examples produced by Wedgwood and Coade. The present vases with their finely sculpted frieze copy the original closely with their depiction of Bacchanalian revelry with Dionysus supporting a drunken Silenus, an engraving of which was published by Giovanni Battista Piranesi in ‘Vasi, candelabra, cippi, sarcophagi, tripodi, Lucerne, ed ornamenti disegnati, pls.109, 110’, in 1778. However, other parts of their design borrow stylistically from the Medici vase which was first discovered in 1598 at the Villa Medici and then transferred in 1780 to the Uffizi. The use of bronze and marble in vases such as these is very rare, for comparison a related pair of Medici vases now in the Frick Collection by Luigi Valadier (17261785) for Madame du Barry employ the use of porphyry, gilt bronze and marble. However, the present combination was more common for the use of urns and candelabra in the Louis XVI period and echo the work of the celebrated bronzier François Rémond and in particular a pair of fourlight candelabra with bronze wrapped bodies decorated with a classical procession attributed to him, sold by Christie’s, The Alexander Collection, New York, 30th April 1999, lot 135. A similar vase, just in gilt bronze and catalogued as Regency with almost identical mounts, was sold by Sotheby’s, The Collection of Mr & Mrs Stephen C. Hilbert: Important French and English Furniture, 24th May 2007, lot 59 and a Louis XVI vase in bleu turquin with similar mounts but no Bacchanalian frieze was also sold by Sotheby’s, Property from the Estate of Ogden Phipps, 19th October 2002, lot 128.

A ROCK CRYSTAL, SILVER AND ENAMEL MODEL OF BACCHUS IN RENAISSANCE STYLE, GERMAN OR AUSTRIAN, LATE 19TH CENTURY depicting a youthful Bacchus astride a barrel, with a grapevine in his hair, holding a ruby coloured goblet in his right hand, the barrel with a tap and decorated with green enamel, unmarked, mounted on a lapis lazuli base 10.7cm high Provenance Lionel de Rothschild (18821942) Edmund de Rothschild (19162009) The Trustees of Exbury House Catalogue Note This present lot bears an interesting resemblance to the wonderful late 16th century silvergilt and green turban shell Bacchus collected by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild (18391898) and later bequeathed to the British Museum as part of the Waddesdon Bequest. It is interesting to speculate that Alfred coveted his cousin's Bacchus and acquired a similar one for his own collection. For a similar model of Bacchus but riding a sea monster, see the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 1975.1.1494.

Catalogue Note The subject matter of these Chinese cloisonné tables offers a subtle hidden meaning. The peach, pomegranate and finger citron that feature on the scholar’s panel form the auspicious ‘san duo’ or the ‘Three Abundances’ invoking the wish for good fortune, longevity and an abundance of descendants. The magpies that feature in the other panel are always auspicious symbols, the birds of good fortune and love. The first character for the name of the bird, xi que, has the same sound as xi, which means ‘happiness’.

Upon Bellman's death in 1860 John Ivey (17941874) became director of the company and in the 1890s Charles B. Carter (18561928?), a dealer in sculpture, became associated with the business. (Times, 13 December 1892, 10) From the late 1880s until the early twentieth century, the firm regularly listed exhibitions of "Bronzes à cire perdue and Russian" and "Sculpture from Academy and Salon" in The Year's Art.

496 AFTER THE ANTIQUE. AN ITALIAN GRAND TOUR RELIEF MASK OF THE MEDUSA RONDANINI PROBABLY 19TH CENTURY later mounted on a fluted white marble plinth 39cm high, 30.5cm wide Catalogue Note The Medusa Rondanini is possibly a Roman copy of an Hellenistic original. It was originally exhibited at the Palazzo Rondanini on the via del Corso in Rome. The portrait of Medusa was widely admired because it depicted the features of the Gorgon in a more human form than normal. Goethe wrote that ‘the mere knowledge that such a work could be created and still exists in the world makes me twice the person I was’. The Medusa Rondanini is now located in the Glyptothek in Munich having been purchased by the artloving King Ludwig of Bavaria. See Sotheby’s, Noblesse Oblige, 14th April 2011, lot 271, for a similar example in white marble.

500 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 19.6cm high, 60.5cm wide, 29.5cm deep 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 François Duquesnoy, with many variations on exact pose and subject. Therefore, the present statue could potentially have originated from 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 tomb cover.

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.

The auctioneers will reoffer the lot on behalf of the buyer in a future auction, or may accept instructions to dispose of it by some other legal means, at their discretion.

SOCIETY OF FINE ART AUCTIONEERS AND VALUERS and the ROYAL INSTITUTION OF CHARTERED SURVEYORS CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION FOR BUYERS
TERMS OF CONSIGNMENT FOR SELLERS
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.
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. 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 (Ω) 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.
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 presale 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. 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).
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. 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.
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.
WW102-640 Furniture Listing - PART 2.qxp_Layout 1 05/03/2020 18:02 Page 271
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.
3. INCREMENTS Bidding increments shall be at the auctioneer’s sole discretion. 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. VALUE ADDED TAX Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a † or Ω. Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by buyers of relevant lots. (Please refer to ‘Information for Buyers’ for a brief explanation of the VAT position). 6. PAYMENT
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.
(a) Immediately a lot is sold you will:
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.
(c) In line with new legislation we reserve the right to investigate and identify the source of any funds received by us. The completion of the sale of a Lot will be postponed or cancelled at our discretion if further time is needed for investigation, or if you are in breach of your warranties as a buyer, or if we consider the sale to be unlawful or in any way cause liabilities or be detrimental to either Woolley and Wallis or the Seller.
CONDITIONS OF SALE
(b) You shall at your own risk and expense collect any lots that you have purchased and paid for from our premises not later than 3 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment (if later) after which you shall be responsible for any collection, storage and insurance charges.

WW102-640 Furniture Listing - PART 2.qxp_Layout 1 05/03/2020 18:02 Page 272
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’.
22. Prior written consent must be sought by the buyer or any other party for the use of any images, illustrations and written materials produced by or for Woolley & Wallis relating to a lot or sale, including the contents of a catalogue. Copyright for any of the aforementioned will remain the property of Woolley & Wallis, subject to the provisions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Woolley & Wallis and the seller make no representations or warranties that the buyer of a lot will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights to it. 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.
(b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.
(i) The term bears a signature and/or date and/or inscription means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription have been added by another hand.
15. FORGERIES
(j) Dimensions are given height before width.
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. 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. (a) Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and 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. (b) Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them.
(k) Pictures are framed unless otherwise stated. BOOK AUCTIONS If, on collation, any named item in this catalogue proves defective in text or illustration, the lot may be returned within 14 days of the sale with the defects stated in writing. This proviso shall not apply to defects stated in the catalogue or announced at the time of sale; nor to the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards or advertisements, damage in respect of bindings, stains, spotting, marginal tears or other defects not affecting completeness of text or illustration; nor to drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts, signed photographs, music, atlases, maps or periodicals; nor to books not identified by title; nor to books sold not subject to return. ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT / DROIT DE SUITE 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.
18. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail or Swiftmail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting.
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.
19. 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 in the catalogue.
Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows:
20. Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers 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. 21. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
Please enquire for the accepted exchange rate on the day of the sale. 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 Lots marked with a ‡ symbol are potentially subject to the levy.
