He was then transferred to the RNVR in February 1917 and then to the RAF in April 1918. He was created OBE whilst serving as command bomb disposal officer in the Middle East in 1942 for defusing a new type of mine and for dealing with several other incidents involving unexploded bombs.

£800­1,200

An O.B.E. group of four awards to 2nd Lieutenant Alexander Anderson, Royal Garrison Artillery and Merchant Navy: The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (Military division), Officer’s breast badge; British War Medal 1914­20 (2. LIEUT. A. ANDERSON.); Mercantile Marine War Medal (ALEXANDER ANDERSON); Victory Medal (2. LIEUT. A. ANDERSON.); display mounted, very fine and better. [4]

Notes: An old collector’s note glued to the back of the ribbons attributes the group to Captain Alexander Anderson RGA who was a mining engineer and was attached to the Munitions Inventions Department and was later the Director of an anti­submarine experimental group under the Admiralty. This attribution has not been confirmed.

£50­100

The Great War D.S.O. group of four to Lieutenant­Colonel John Alexander Geary, Royal Artillery: Distinguished Service Order, George V; 1914 Star and Bar (CAPT: J. A. GEARY. R.F.A.); British War Medal 1914­20 (LT. COL. J. A. GEARY.); Victory Medal with oak leaves emblem (LT. COL. J. A. GEARY.); mounted for wearing, very fine and better [4]

Notes: Born on the 16th October 1877, the third son of Lt. Gen. Sir Henry le Guay Geary, John Alexander Geary entered the Royal Artillery as 2nd Lieutenant on the 23rd March 1900. As a Lieutenant he served his father (then Governor of Bermuda) as ADC. He was promoted Captain on the 17th August 1912 and in this year he also married Edeline . He served with the British Expeditionary Corps in France and Flanders from the 19th August 1914, with 6th Battery RFA, which was part of XL Brigade, 3rd Division, in II Corps. He was in action at Mons and Le Cateau, and on the 2nd of March 1915 he was wounded, together with one OR, when the 6th Battery observing station was shelled. The other wounded man appears to have been 25401 Corporal Evi Feben, who died of his wounds on the following day. According to family tradition the observing station was situated in a barn, and Captain Geary suffered serious injuries in rescuing Feben, who was trapped by a fallen and burning beam. The recipient was promoted Major on the 26th July 1915. His D.S.O. was gazetted in the 14th January the following year and he was invested with it by the King at Buckingham Palace on the 14th April 1917. He was mentioned in despatches four time, and saw further service in Salonika. £800­1,200

The Great War M.C. group of four to Major Frank Charles Gordon Naumann, Royal Artillery, comprising: Military Cross, George V, unnamed as issued; 1914­15 Star (391 GNR. F.C.G. NAUMANN. H.A.C. (ART.)); British War Medal 1914­20 (MAJOR F.C.G. NAUMANN.); Victory Medal, the ribbon fixed with two oak leaf emblems (MAJOR F.C.G.

Provenance: By descent.

Notes: Frank Naumann disembarked in Egypt on the 10th of April 1915, as a Gunner with the Honourable Artillery Company Artillery. He was commissioned into the Special Reserve of Officers later that year as a Probationary 2nd Lieutenant, which appointment was confirmed in February of 1916. In the following month he transferred to the RHA. He rose to Acting Captain in 1917 and was a Major with seniority from the 11th of September 1919. He returned to service in the Second World War as a Captain and a Major, and he died in October 1947 at the age of 55 years. His Military Cross was announced in the London Gazette of the 4th of June 1917 “for distinguished service in the field”. He was mentioned in a despatch of General Sir Douglas Haig of the 13th of November 1916 (London Gazette 4th January 1917). £500­700

The impressive Second World War ‘Operation Plunder’ immediate M. C. group of six to Lieutenant William Anthony Land, Royal Engineers: Military Cross, George VI, reverse dated 1945, cased; 1939­45 Star; Africa Star, Italy Star, France and Germany Star; War Medal 1939­45; all unnamed as issued, good very fine and better, [6]; together with an associated archive of ephemera, including: documents including ISUMs and a 30 Corps ‘Order of the Day’ congratulating 210 Field Company R.E. for its part in Operation Plunder, photographs including bridging operations in the North European Theatre, the recipient’s Certificate of Service for the period prior to his Emergency Commission, correspondence, fabric sporting badges, various enemy documentation, and other items. [qty]

Notes: William Anthony Land was born in 1914 and followed his father into the Royal Engineers when he enlisted as a Boy at Chatham on the 2nd of August 1929. He displayed remarkable ability in his military conduct and as a sportsman. A testimonial written at the time that he progressed from Boy Sergeant to Sapper (and offered with this lot) includes an impressive list of sporting prizes, describes him as “an excellent drill instructor, and thoroughly reliable in every way.” and states that “His powers of command and control.....are abnormal in one of his age and he has a good sense of responsibility”. Land’s interwar service included a tour in Hong Kong between the 4th of February 1937 and the 26th of September 1939. His participation in sporting competitions continued, with a number of fabric team badges included in this lot. Following a short spell in the UK, he joined the B.E.F. in France on the 15th of October 1939, before returning to the UK in February 1940. His paperwork on this occasion gives the nature of his duty as ‘Secret’, and family tradition includes the belief that he participated in some form of clandestine duties. He served in North Africa and was discharged to a commission on the 4th of November 1942 before giving further service in the Italian campaign.

Land served as a Lieutenant in 210 Field Company Royal Engineers, part of 2nd Army, in the reconquest of Northern Europe, his being one of the companies that formed Corps Troops Royal Engineers for 30 Corps. In late October 1944 a group of paratroopers from 1st Airborne Division, who had been stranded north of the Lower Rhine following the failure of Operation Market Garden, made itself known to 30 Corps when Lt. Col. D. Dobie swam the river to seek assistance. 210 Company R.E. was tasked with carrying out Operation Pegasus I, a daring rescue in cooperation with Easy Company, U.S. 101st Airborne. This operation features in an episode of the HBO series ‘Band of Brothers’. The sappers brought a total of 138 men back across the river in small boats ­ a technically demanding and very perilous undertaking.

In March 1945 210 Company participated in Operation Plunder ­ the crossing of the River Rhine near Rees ­ part of the final phase of the defeat of Nazi Germany. It was during this opposed crossing, on the 24th and 25th March, that Lieutenant Land won his Military cross. The Platoon under his command was employed in constructing a pontoon Bailey bridge and was under machine gun, artillery and mortar fire from the moment that work commenced, at 1300 on the 24th. In spite of numerous casualties and periods when work had to be abandoned owing to the weight of incoming fire, they persisted, and by 0845 on the 26th traffic was moving across the bridge. The gallant and efficient Lieutenant Land played a critical role, as his recommendation makes clear: “While shelling was still in progress Lt. Land, without regard to his personal safety, organised evacuation of the dead and wounded. On several occasions, enemy fire was so accurate that Lt. Land was ordered temporarily to cease work. It was due to his example and high courage that dispersals to cover were executed calmly, and that the subsequent calls to continue work invariably met a prompt and determined response from every one of his men”.

The Second World War D.F.C. group of five to Pilot Officer (later Flight Lieutenant) William Edgar Lewis Palmer, R.A.F.: Distinguished Flying Cross, George VI, reverse lower arm dated 1944, engraved details across horizontal arms (P/O., W. E. L. PALMER 12TH DECEMBER), in case of issue with transmission slip, good very fine; 1939­45 Star, Air Crew Europe Star with France & Germany clasp, Defence Medal, War Medal 1939­45, with postal box and Air Ministry slips, lightly tarnished, otherwise about extremely fine; together with a small collection of fabric insignia, identity tags, the recipient’s R.A.F. Service and Release book, a copy of ‘’To See the Breaking Dawn’ by W.R. Chorley and various associated ephemera. [5 medals]

Notes: D.F.C. London Gazette 12/12/1944

William Palmer served in 76 Squadron R.A.F. flying bombers over Europe. On the night of the 24th May 1944 he was at the controls of a Halifax on approach to Aachen when his rear gunner warned of an approaching enemy fighter. The gunner called for a corkscrew manoeuvre (a breakaway that had saved Palmer’s bomber from a similar predicament over Tergnier the previous month*) but “in the next second our starboard outer engine was knocked out and the wing set on fire”**. Palmer extinguished the flames by going into a dive so steep and rapid that to pull out of it required the strength of three men on the controls. “Bill Palmer would fly home low across the channel, his hydraulics shot away, to crash­land at Tangmere”. By family tradition, this was the incident that resulted in the award to the D.F.C.

* AIR 50/139

** Flying officer Clifford Waite quoted in Chorley, ‘To See the Breaking Dawn’, p. 147

£800­1,200

A Naval General Service Medal 1793­1840 to Gunner William Farmer, Royal Marine Artillery, H.M.S. Beelzebub, a veteran of the War of 1812, clasp: Algiers (WILLIAM FARMER.), good very fine or better and toned.

Notes: William Farmer joined the Royal Marines in 1807 and served in H.M.S. Victory in the Baltic. In 1809 he transferred to the Royal Marine Artillery and served at the capture of Fort Bathz in 1813. In 1814 he took part in numerous actions in America whilst serving with Captain Harrison’s company on the Chesapeake expedition. He served in the bomb vessel Beelzebub at Algiers in 1816. Retiring in 1828 he settled in Birmingham where he is shown on the census as a button maker.

£800­1,200

A Military General Service Medal 1793­1814 to Private Bernard Gallagher, 44th Foot, a casualty of the War of 1812, clasp: Egypt (B. GALLAGHER, 44TH FOOT), very fine.

Notes: A labourer from Fermanagh, Gallagher joined the 44th Foot in January 1798 and took part in operations in Egypt, Sicily, and Tarragona. In 1814 he sailed with the expedition to the Chesapeake and took part in the battle of Bladensburg, the destruction of the White House and the Battle of North Point where he was wounded by musket balls in the right knee and left arm. He was discharged to pension in 1816 as a result of wounds.

NB. Appears as Bernard in WO 100/12, though transcribed in published rolls as Benjamin.

£1,000­1,500

A Queen’s South Africa Medal to Lieutenant Francis Sandham Geary, Hampshire Regiment (Mounted Infantry), who was killed in action East of Bloemfontein in April 1900: 1st type (b), 3 clasps: Relief of Kimberly, Paadeberg, Driefontein (Lieut. F. S. GEARY. 2/Hamps. Rgt.), engraved, extremely fine and toned with ghost dates

Notes: This officer was killed in action at Sannah’ s Post, near Thaba N’chu in the Orange Free State, 27th April 1900. The second son of LieutenantGeneral Sir Henry Le Guay Geary, K.C.B., he was born in February 1874 and educated at the United Services College, Westward Ho, and at the Royal Military Academy. He was commissioned into the Hampshire Regiment in October 1894 and promoted Lieutenant in August 1897. The 2nd Battalion Hampshire Regiment did not form part of the original Army Corps sent to South Africa in 1899 because it had insufficient men to make it up to war establishment. It did, however, contribute 35 men to the Mounted Infantry, under the charge of Lt. Geary, who therefore proceeded to South Africa in advance of his Regiment and saw considerable action there. It was during an ambush against a British cavalry brigade that he was “killed in a gallant stand against overwhelming odds”.

£100­150

An Egypt and Sudan Medal 1882­89 to Private G Wilson, 2nd Battalion York and Lancaster Regiment, dated reverse, clasp: Tel­El­Kebir (678. PTE G. WILSON. 2/ YORK & LANC: R.), edge bruise rev. 4 o’clock, otherwise good very fine; together with an India General Service Medal 1908­35 to C­D Zaman, 57th Silladar Camel Corps, 2 clasps: Mahsun 1919­20, Waziristan 1919­21 (932 C­D.

A Queen’s Sudan Medal 1896­98 re­engraved to Sergeant Frank Knowles, 21st Lancers, (3402, SERGT F. KNOWLES. 21/L/CERS.), personal details re­engraved in official style serif capitals, unit details officially engraved, about very fine.

Provenance: The collection of Major R. R. Pelham Burn, M.C., T.D. Possibly ex. A.H. Baldwin & Sons, 12th June 1946

Notes: Frank Knowles, A Company, 21st Lancers, took part in the famous charge of his regiment at the Battle of Omdurman, September 1898. A Lance Corporal at that time, he was promoted to Sergeant 01/04/1900. It is possible that this re­engraved medal is an honest, though unofficial, replacement for his original medal, reflecting his later rank.

£150­250

13

A Queen’s South Africa Medal to Major Charles Archibald Townshend Boultbee, King’s Royal Rifle Corps, first type (b), clasp: Talana (Major. C. A. T. BOULTBEE. .K.R.R.C.), engraved, good very fine or better, toned and with ghost dates.

Notes: This officer entered the King’s Royal Rifle Corps as 2nd Lieutenant on the 21st July 1877. He was commissioned Major on the 16th April 1894. He served with the 1st Battalion at the Battle of Talana Hill on the 20th October 1899, in which action he was dangerously wounded. The 1st K.R.R.C. played a prominent part in the desperate fighting for control of the hilltop, suffering heavy casualties.

£100­150

He was awarded the Military Cross in 1917 whilst serving with 15 Squadron “For exceptional brilliant work as a pilot in co­operation with the Artillery from January to July 1916. Lieut. Danby has always shown the greatest dash and determination, frequently carrying out his work under the most difficult conditions. ”

Second World War Prisoner of War interest: a fascinating and scarce archive of original documents, medals, and secondary ephemera preserved by the late Lieutenant Ernest Boyes Lee, Royal Army Service Corps, who worked on escape maps and intelligence while a P.O.W. and was awarded the France & Germany Star in spite of having been captured by the Germans before the Dunkirk evacuation. Medals: 1939­45 Star; France and Germany Star; War Medal 1939­45; Efficiency Medal (Territorial), Elizabeth II, with second award bar (6792074 PTE. E. B. LEE. R.A.S.C.), mounted for wearing, good very fine, [4]

Documents and Epehmera: a large collection including escape maps, correspondence, an article written for the Bank of England’s staff journal describing some of the recipient’s activities in Oflag VII C Prison Camp, authority for the France and Germany Star; together with a small number of badges and other personal effects.

Notes: Ernest Boyes Lee served with the British Expeditionary Force in France and was captured by the Germans on the 22nd May 1940. As prisoner number 319 he was interned at Oflag VII C, where from early 1941 he began to receive letters from a friend giving news of the War in coded form, which he was able to disseminate to the other prisoners. The content of the letters appeared harmless to censors, concerned with social matters and trivial seeming news from home; but the writer included allusions to unknown persons and inexplicable events and Lee soon perceived that these were cryptic references to the progress of the war. As Lee himself explains in “Gepruft”, a 1951 article for the staff journal of the Bank of England: “T. continued to write regularly. Letter by letter he built up a framework...the key to many of the clues was beyond the reach of all except T’s intimate friends… others were simple anagrams or in the form of crossword clues.”

Examples included imaginary racehorses: “Pike Cave, a filly lacking pace” (Kiev); and “my boy­friend has dumped any amount of luggage personelly [sic] at my home” (an encouraging reference to the build­up of U.S. forces prior to the allied invasion of Europe).

Lee was transferred to Oflag VII B late in the same year, where a smuggled radio provided news of the outside world, augmented by ongoing letters. He also took part in the production of escape maps, of which a number are included with this lot. In 1945, with the Allies closing in, the Germans began forced marches of prisoners of war to try and keep them out of the hands of the liberating forces. It is at this point that Lee’s story coincides with that of Lieutenant Colonel William Douglas Baird Thompson, D.S.O., M.C.

Lt. Col. Thompson, who had been commissioned from the ranks into the Durham Light Infantry in 1915, was decorated for gallantry in action at Arras in 1917 (M.C.) and during the German offensive of March 1918. He was furthermore awarded the French Croix de Guerre for participating in the capture of 85 German soldiers at Cuitron in July 1918. Like Ernest Boyes Lee he was captured by the Germans before the Dunkirk evacuations.

On the 14th April 1945 the Germans attempted to march a large party of Allied prisoners from Oflag VII B to Berchtesgaden, where it was intended that they be held as hostages. This failed when the column was mistakenly attacked by American P­47 Thunderbolts, killing 12 and injuring 40. Thompson initiated a retreat to the camp, and his orders were confirmed by the Germans. On the evening of the 15th the prisoners set off on a second march that led, by the night of the 23rd, to Stalag VII A at Moosburg in Bavaria. The following day Thompson was confirmed in command of the British forces, which he put on an operational footing, freeing Russian prisoners from the cells at Moosburg, and securing a bridge for the use of the advancing U.S. forces. Although many senior Germans, including the camp commandant and the mayor of Moosburg, were keen to capitulate peacefully, other elements, such as the S.S Division Charlemagne, were not; and in the confused situation that followed the surrender of the Commandant, there was fighting in the vicinity of the camp. Thompson stated that on the 29th April “First tanks of the 14 Am Div US Army broke through the Kommandantur, certain amounts of firing within the camp, Able to arm guards and piquets.”

It was in recognition of these operational services that the prisoners who served under Thompson’s command, Ernest Boyes Lee among them, were deemed eligible for the France and Germany Star.

The Second World War group of four medals attributed to Henry Alexander Leonard Geary, R.A. and R.I.A.S.C.: 1939­45 Star, Burma Star, Defence Medal, War Medal 1939­45, mounted for wearing and unnamed as issued; together with an identical mounted group, a group of corresponding dress miniature medals, and a Burma Star Association lapel badge, very fine

Notes (The following details derive from family tradition): The recipient was an apprentice to Riley in Coventry before it merged with Morris in the late 1930s. He enlisted at the start of the Second World War, serving initially with the Royal Artillery before being seconded to the Royal Indian Army Service Corps. He was captured by the Japanese in Burma and worked on a railway as a P.O.W.

£40­60

A Jubilee (Police) Medal 1887 to the famous Detective Chief Inspector George Hepburn Greenham, Metropolitan Police, no clasp (CHF INSPR G. GREENHAM. A. DIVN), very fine; offered with a copy of ‘Scotland Yard Experiences, From the Diary of G.H. Greenham’, Routledge (pub.), 2018. and three copy photographs of the recipient.

Notes: George Greenham was born in Trieste in 1835. He joined the Metropolitan Police in 1869 and almost immediately joined the Criminal Investigation Department. He worked on numerous cases involving fraud and murder and, due to his ability to speak several languages, was often involved in cases involving foreign nationals, frequently travelling abroad. He acted as bodyguard to Queen Victoria for 17 years on her trips abroad and also as bodyguard to Napoleon III, the Empress Eugenie and the Prince Imperial during their exile in England.

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 £1,000 and the maximum royalty payable on any single lot is £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.

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 £12,500

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.

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. 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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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 £1,000 and the maximum royalty payable on any single lot is £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 by the auctioneer.

Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows:

4% Up to £50,000

3% £50,000.01 ­ 200,000

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.
