THE DINTON HALL COLLECTION

We are extremely privileged to be selling the selected contents of Dinton Hall Buckinghamshire.

The Manor of Dinton was mentioned in the Domesday Book, it was gifted to Lord Odo, Bishop of Bayeaux by his brother, William the Conqueror. The present hall is of Medieval origin and during the 15th and 16th centuries it was owned by the Verney family. In 1604 it was sold to Simon Mayne, whose son, also Simon, was MP for Aylesbury and a Judge. He was a friend of Oliver Cromwell and Cromwell’s sword that was used at the Battle of Naseby is still at the hall!

There are eighty­one lots of fine furniture and works of art in the sale which have been collected by the vendor over the last forty years, highlights include a beautiful William and Mary olivewood and marquetry chest, purchased from Turpin Antiques, lot 17, a handsome George IV oak Gothic Revival serving table, lot 20 and a fine William and Mary bureau bookcase, purchased from W. R. Harvey, lot 57.

Purchased from Hallidays Fine Antiques Ltd, Dorchester on Thames, 10th July 2001, for £25,000. The selected contents of Dinton Hall, Buckinghamshire.

Catalogue Note

William Old, a chair maker and wood turner, and John Ody, a cabinet maker, were both living on the south side of St Paul’s Churchyard, London and went into partnership around 1717, quite probably after John Ody had married Old’s daughter a year or so earlier. Despite William Old’s death in 1728, the partnership continued until 1733, probably with William’s son, Henry, in William’s place.

A very limited number of pieces of furniture survive with the Old and Ody Trade label in place with all the known case furniture being made from well figured walnut. Christopher Gilbert lists only five in his book Marked London Furniture, 1700­1840, and since the book’s publication three further labelled examples have been sold at auction: Christies, 18th October 2001, Important English Furniture, lot 266 for a cabinet on secretaire chest, Adams, 26th February 2017, ‘At Home’, lot 210, for another cabinet on secretaire chest and Dreweatts, 29 June 2022, Fine Furniture, lot 359, for a bureau cabinet.

Provenance

Robert Bradley Antiques, Salisbury

Catalogue Note

The fashion for lacquer and lacquered items developed in the later 17th century when Charles II renewed the charter of the East Indian Company in 1672 and started to buy lacquered cabinets for his own collection. This was further promoted by John Stalker and George Parker with their publication ‘A Treatise of Japanning and Varnishing’ in 1688. The process of Japanning was developed by Thomas and Edward Allgood in Pontypool and further developed in Usk and the West Midlands, although the red tortoiseshell effect was a characteristic style of decoration specifically of Pontypool. For a very similarly decorated monteith, please see Christies, 18th June 2008, Simon Sainsbury ­ The Creation of an English Arcadia, vol. I, lot 95 that sold for £13,750 (including buyer’s premium).

117.5cm high 147cm wide 71cm deep

Provenance

Robert Bradley Antiques, Salisbury

Catalogue Note

Towards the latter end of the 17th century, due to the increasing cost of real gold leaf, a number of alternative 'gilt' finishes were developed. These were often silvering, applied in much the same way as water­gilding, and then they had a gold coloured varnish or lacquer painted over the top to prevent the silver from tarnishing. However, other examples were left with just a silvered finish which did eventually tarnish thus these were later gilded meaning that a silvered finish is now quite rare. For a similar pair of high­back chairs, see Christie's, Interiors ­ Masters and Makers, 30th October 2012, lot 2.

A related suite of furniture was made by Thomas Phill for Edward Dryden of Canons Ashby in 1715. see the Journal of The Furniture History Society, Volume XXI, 1985, pp.217­219.

THE ATTRIBUTION

The present lot although not stamped is almost certainly by the esteemed maker Claude­Charles Saunier (1735­1807). The unusual triglyph mounts are very distinctive and can be seen on the other four recorded examples of this bureau by Saunier. There is one in the Le Salon Bleu, Musée de Nissim de Camondo, Paris and like our example it is unsigned. See Marie­Noel de Gary, Musée Nissim de Camondo, Le Demeure d’un collectionneur, pp.232­233. A second in bois de rose and bois de violette was illustrated in the Connaissance des Arts, March, 1969, p.78. A third example in kingwood, tulipwood and amaranth was sold by Sotheby’s, Important Furniture, 6th December 2011, lot 123 £61,250 (including buyer’s premium). A fourth in ebony and from the collection of Pierre Berès and probably originally in the renowned Carlhian collection sold at Christie’s, Paris, Pierre Berès: A Livre Ouvert, 13th December 2012, lot 653 for 175,000 Euros (including buyer’s premium). A related smaller bureau in bois de rose, without the triglyph mounts can be found in the Collection du Mobilier National, numero d’inventaire IAM­468­000.

THE MAKER

Claude­Charles Saunier (1735­1807) received master in 1752. He was descended from a family of cabinet makers and initially shared his father’s (Jean­Charles) workshop in Fauborg Saint­Antoine but moved twice eventually settling in the rue Saint­Claude.

Saunier was well known for finely made furniture using the best quality timbers ornamented with gilt bronze mounts. He was quick to adopt the Neo­Classical style and he produced bureaux plats of restrained form, with architectural decoration and tapering legs. He used timbers of contrasting colours such as ebony and amaranth and fashionable woods such as satinwood from 1785 onwards.

NAPOLÉON III AND EMPRESS EUGÉNIE IN ENGLAND

Napoléon III (Charles­Louis Napoléon Bonaparte, 20th April 1808 – 9th January 1873) was the first president of France from 1842 to 1852 and was the last monarch of France as ‘Emperor of the French’ from 1852 until he was deposed in absentia on the 4th September 1870.

He was a popular monarch who oversaw the modernisation of Paris, commissioning George­Eugène Haussman to produce new boulevards and parks. He expanded the French colonial empire and personally engaged in two wars. He promoted agriculture ending famines in France and turning the country into an agricultural exporter.

In Foreign Policy he aimed to reassert French influence in Europe and he allied with Britain defeating Russia in the Crimean War but his downfall as Emperor was brought about by the rising power of Prussia. In July 1870 Napoléon reluctantly declared war on Prussia after pressure from the general public. The French Army was soon defeated and Napoleon was captured at Sedan. He was swiftly dethroned and the Third Republic was proclaimed in Paris. After he was released from German custody, Napoléon and his wife Eugénie went into exile in England arriving on the 20th March 1871.

Humiliated and exiled, the Imperial family took a lease on Camden Place, a large country house in the village of Chislehurst in Kent. A house known to Napoléon when he was first exiled in England during the 1830s. However, Napoléon, worn out and sickly, was to have only a short spell in England dying in January 1873 following an operation for the removal of bladder stones. More tragedy was to befall Eugénie when in 1879 her son the Prince Imperial was killed by the Zulus whilst serving with the British Army in South Africa. The Empress was devastated by the death of her only child and she decided to move from Camden Hill and in August 1880 she purchased the Farnborough Hill estate in Hampshire.

FARNBOROUGH HILL

This was to be her principal residence for the next forty years and where she built a magnificent mausoleum to house the remains of her husband and son.

The house was originally built by H. E. Kendell for the publisher Thomas Longman, in an ‘old English’ style. Under Eugénie from 1881 the house was substantially renovated by the architect Hippolyte Destailleur, famous for Waddesdon Manor. At Farnborough Hill he strove to reproduce some of the signature elements of ‘le style Napoléon III’. Eugénie’s ambitions for the interiors of Farnborough were similar, as the ‘last representative of the Second Empire’ she felt obliged to live in state and the interiors of the house were curated to make the house both a dynastic shrine and intimate museum.

Farnborough Hill was filled with remarkable furniture, sculpture and paintings transferred from the family’s houses on the continent including Arenenberg in Switzerland (the home of Louis­Napoléon’s mother Hortense), Malmaison and Eugénie’s villa in Biarritz. Eugénie had been obliged to fight hard for the restitution of these treasures and she took great care arranging them into emotive juxtapositions and statements of lineage.

VILLA EUGÉNIE

Villa Eugénie in Biarritz was built for the Imperial family in 1854. It was a large villa overlooking the sea and the Empress and Emperor spent each September there. They would walk on the beach and entertain their guests with amateur theatricals and charades. The villa was furnished like the other official palaces with a mixture of objects from the domaine privé and the dotation de la couronne. In 1873 Eugénie agreed a deal with the state in which she would keep the entire contents of the villa in exchange for a series of Napoléonic relics. The whole contents were transferred to Farnborough Hill in 1881 and included an important series of historic items from the French Royal collections, including: two suites of Empire furniture, seven important Gobelins tapestries depicting scenes from Don Quixote and of course our present lot. Our bureau plat was listed in the original inventory of 1858 as being in the Emperor’s study and it would remain at Farnborough Hill until after the death of Eugénie.

THE SALE OF FARNBOROUGH HILL

The Empress Eugénie died in July 1920, she had hoped that the contents of Farnborough Hill would remain in perpetuity as a shrine to the patrimony of the Bonapartes. However unable to pay the death duties on her estate, Prince Victor and then Princess Clémentine made the decision to sell the estate and the contents of the house. Two sales were held by Christie’s in July 1927, beginning with paintings and drawings on 1st July followed by tapestries, furniture and decorative arts a week later. The remaining contents including our bureau plat were sold over eight days between the 18th and 26th July, organised by Hampton & Sons. This included some wonderful sculpture including a bust of Napoléon Bonaparte after Thorwaldsen which sold for 420 guineas and a Carpeaux portrait of the Prince Imperial and his Dog Nero which also fetched 420 guineas. Our desk was listed in the Princess’s Sitting Room on the First Floor and was lot 265: ‘A Louis XVI library table, veneered in tulip and purple woods with frieze and leg appliques in bronze…From the Royal Mobilier.’ It fetched 340 guineas which was one of the highest prices of the sale.

A WELL TRAVELLED DESK

The desk was bought by Martin Bacri a Parisian dealer and along with 158 other items, almost all from the Farnborough sale, was exhibited the following year at a selling exhibition organised by a number of other dealers and curated by Jean Bourguignon. It was held at the Musée National de Malmaison, and titled ‘Exposition de Napoléon 1er a Napoléon III, Souvenirs de la Famille Impériale, Conserves par L’Impératrice Eugenie dans sa Résidence de Farnborough et Provenant de sa Succession’. A small catalogue was produced and our bureau was object no.81 and listed as ‘Bureau de travail de l’Empereur Napoléon III’. Photographs show it centre stage at Malmaison opposite Winterhalter’s The Empress Eugénie Surrounded by her Ladies in Waiting, which had sold at the Christie’s sale and had already been presented to the museum at Malmaison by La Baronne d’Alexandary d’Orengiani.

The desk was then sold to possibly a Rothschild collection, an inventory label to the underside of the desk is marked ‘Dr. R. K.’ The desk was then acquired by our deceased collector in 1972 from the antiques dealer Bernard Oberson, of Grandes Époques S. A. based in Geneva on the 28th July 1972 for 180,000 Swiss francs and it would return back to Hampshire to reside in the Heath House collection for the past 50 years.

We would like to thank Professor Anthony Geraghty for his generous and invaluable help in researching our bureau and advice on this footnote. With thanks also to Farnborough Hill School for letting us photograph the bureau back in situ and for the use of photographs in this catalogue.

Catalogue Note

Morden and Berry advertised a pair of large globes in 1673, as ‘new sizes of globes, about 15 inches in diameter, celestial and terrestrial, 4 pounds the pair’ and were only pre­dated as English globes by those by Molyneux and Moxon from the late 16th and early 17th century. While not a ‘first edition’, the globe offered here, produced by the Morden, Berry, Lea partnership, makes it a rare example of one of the earliest commercially produced English globes and shows the tracks of voyages by Drake and Cavendish which earlier versions did not.

Catalogue Note

Thomas Tompion (1639­1713), often referred to as the ‘Father of of English Clock and Watch Making’, was born in Ickwell, Suffolk, and was working in the clock and watch industry by 1670. Having obtained his freedom of the Clockmakers Company in 1671, he worked with a number of apprentices, including Edward Banger, with whom he eventually went into partnership around 1700­1701. However, this partnership didn’t last and was disolved by 1708 meaning clocks and watches signed ‘Tompion and Banger’, such as this example, can be accurately dated to this short, early 18th century period.

A BRASS EPICYCLIC TIMEPIECE

Catalogue Note

The design of the movement makes use of the the epicyclic gearing used in some steam engines allowing for the simultaneous gearing up of the escape wheel and gearing down of the hour wheel. Because of the complexity of the design, it is believed that only 20 or so were originally made. For a near identical clock see Bonhams, Fine Clocks and Barometers, 28th June 2011, lot 107.

Catalogue Note

Although the name ‘Arnold’ appears on the dial, it is probable that this is a Frodsham clock, John Roger Arnold having died in 1843. 84 The Strand, originally a coffee shop, was purchased by Arnold by 1821 and, on his death, was bought by Charles Frodsham. However, Frodsham continued to use the name ‘Arnold’, together with his own name, on all the items produced by the shop until around 1858, when Frodsham stopped using Arnold’s name on his products.

A RARE REGENCY GONCALO ALVES BREAKFRONT SIDE CABINET

BY GEORGE BULLOCK,

EARLY 19TH CENTURY

with parcel gilt decoration, the white marble top above seven cedar lined drawers each stamped ‘G. Bullock’ the top drawer with a paper exhibition label ‘The BADA Art Treasures Exhibition, Bath, 1958 EXH NO. 170’, flanked by a pair of hinged doors inset with gilt brass ebony framed and silk backed panels enclosing shelves on giltwood lobed feet 85cm high, 100cm wide, 39.3cm deep

Catalogue Note

George Bullock (1777/78 – 1818) was renowned for using unusual and exotic woods alongside indigenous woods in many of the pieces of furniture he designed. He was also known for being ahead of the game in the forms of furniture he designed. Indeed, when moved back to London and he sold the contents of his Liverpool premises, they were described as ‘Fashionable Modern Furniture’ and at the sale of his remaining stock after his death, Bullock was referred to as ‘that highly ingenious artist’. The cabinet that features in this lot comfortably fits both criteria, being both progressive in design and incorporating a variety of woods into its decoration. It also features the same design of grille as a pair of bookcases made for Napoleon and that appear in the ‘Plans and elevations for St Helena’, dated November 1815. To further add to its appeal, it is one of only a handful of items of furniture that have been stamped by Bullock – in this instance to each of the seven drawers.

Exhibited

BADA, Art Treasures Exhibition, 29th May to 7th June 1958, Ilustrated in the Exhibition Catalogue, pl. 25, item 170 where exhibited by Boswell & Ward.

Literature

Clive Wainwright, George Bullock Cabinet­Maker, London 1988, p.104. In the description of the Napoleon bookcases (op.cit. pp. 101­104) there is a tantalising reference to a ‘small cabinet of similar form, without the upper part and fitted with small drawers’ which could very easily be referring to our cabinet.

LOT SYMBOLS

VAT

Lots marked with an dagger (†) are subject to VAT on the hammer price. Lots marked with an omega (Ω) 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 λ may be subject to CITES Regulations when exported.

The CITES Regulations may be found at www.defra.gov.uk/ahvlaen/imports­exports/cites/

ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT / DROIT DE SUITE

Lots marked with a Φ 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 £12,500.

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:

FIREARMS

Lots marked Ƒ in the catalogue, or by any other means identified as controlled firearms, are subject to the UK firearms/shotgun licencing regime, and should only be viewed/purchased by individuals with appropriate licences. It is the responsibility of the bidders to ensure that they are legally authorised to acquire the lot that they are bidding for. In the event that such a lot is successfully bid for by an individual who is not authorised to possess it, that individual will be required to pay for it, but will not be allowed to take physical possession of it. 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.

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 26% plus VAT @20% (totalling 31.2% inclusive) on the first £500,000 and 20% plus VAT @20% (24%) 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.

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.

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 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. Unsold and withdrawn items. If an item is unsold it may with your consent be reoffered 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

VALUATIONS

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.

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.

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

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.

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