‘The Boys’ - An introduction

Derek Parker and Peter Wynne Morris were interior decorators, collectors, and antiques dealers. The following 342 lots represent a snapshot of their glamorous life of collecting and their various homes in Scotland, London, France, the United States and Australia.

Derek was born in Leith near Edinburgh in 1933 and in 1956 at the young age of twenty-two he became junior partner with the long established firm of A. F. Drysdale (Interior Decorators).

In 1959 whilst working for Asprey Peter Morris first met Derek and they went on to forge a professional and personal partnership which would last for the rest of their lives.

Peter was quiet and extremely talented, and Derek was a very good foil for Peter’s flights of fancy, which among other things led them to buying the Yester Estate. Yester House was the former residence of the Marquess and Marchioness of Tweeddale and for hundreds of years the family seat of the Hay family. In 1969 Derek and Peter bought the estate almost lock, stock and barrel, including the house almost all its contents and even the village and hotel.  In 1972 they sold Yester to Gian Carlo Menotti who liked the acoustics of the ballroom.

Derek worked on some of the great houses of Scotland including: Lennoxlove, the home of the Duke of Hamilton, Mr Illay Campbell’s Lennel in Berwickshire where he designed and decorated the ballroom and Eiden Hall the home of the Earl and Countess of Dalkeith. During their time in Edinburgh they also worked for the Queen, “the other queen” as Peter would say, for whom he designed some of the cushions at Holyrood House.

They went on to take over A. F. Drysdale and they opened a London showroom: 99 Mount Street, Mayfair. During their time in London they lived in Winston Churchill’s bachelors pad on Mount Street, and were closely connected with the great decorator Geoffrey Bennison. At the time they were dubbed as the ‘best dressed men in Mayfair’.

Their interior decorating business took them all around the world with some important commissions especially in Palm Beach, Florida.

They became residents of Monte Carlo owning an apartment beneath Shirley Bassey’s. During that time Peter drove a powder blue convertible Rolls Royce, the same as Princess Grace’s and whilst driving around the municipality they often received the Royal salute!

They also bought La Maison du Gouverneur, a beautiful place in the village of Roquebrune, and leased Netherhampton House on the Wilton estate, decorating all of their interiors imaginatively and correctly.

Netherhampton House was originally built in the 1680s but it was transformed in 1708 when an extended façade was added turning it into the romantic manor house it is today. During the 20th century the house was home to Siegfried Sassoon, composer William Walton and the artist Rex Whistler.

Derek and Peter moved into the house in the early 1980s and decorated it in the pure John Fowler style. Many of the pieces in the sale can be seen gracing the interiors of Netherhampton House.

Talking to Vogue Living magazine in 1990 Derek commented ‘I seek to create a comfortable lived in interior, appropriate to the style of house’, ‘Interiors are governed greatly by what people own to what they aspire. Houses should, after all, be an expression of one’s personality and lifestyle.’

The 1980s was not the period for minimalism, and wherever you looked about in their homes, your eye fell on something beautiful and well-placed, a true reflection of the soul of its inhabitants.

Between spending the winter months in Australia and the summer in Europe, they spent a good deal of time buying and selling antiques, through their friends Ian Hastie, and Tim Woolley at Woolley and Wallis They often stayed with the Hastie’s in the Isle de France scouring the antique shops and flea markets of Paris.

In their later years Derek and Peter lived near Shaftesbury and latterly in Salisbury. To the end, their apartment was decorated with style and good taste. They had both lived incredibly glamorous lives and we are proud to be offering their collection formed over the last sixty years, the sale offers collectors the opportunity to acquire some rare and historic pieces.

With thanks to Rupert Hastie for his contribution.

Reflections of a Collector Peter Wynne Morris

I must have been about fourteen years old when I first expressed an interest in the fine arts. After a day at Wesley College, Melbourne, wearing my purple school blazer and cap I often called into Joel’s auction house and would continue my saleroom search at Decorations Co. At first, phone calls were made to my father to confirm that my purchases would be paid for. I am happy to record that my family, and in particular my late mother, have always been unfailingly supportive of my collecting mania. No doubt the homework suffered, but I was, and remain hooked. I must have cut an eccentric figure on the day I boarded the tram nursing my latest purchase, a massive Dresden candelabrum, rather larger than myself, together with my school satchel. These early sorties into the world of fine art were no doubt in part responsible for my long career in interior decoration.

Peter was born in Australia to a family of collectors. He had a great ‘eye’ and a decorative imagination, designing some fabrics for Colefax and Fowler, whose shop Peter and Derek started in Sydney. He had a lifelong passion for antiques and interior design, loving the beauty and history of old things and having a knack for finding unique and interesting pieces. His collection of French Eighteenth Century white porcelain can be found in the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia, and the proceeds of the auction will be donated to the gallery.

Derek Parker and Peter Morris – A Reminiscence

I have a photograph of Peter Morris in Australia - at 25 with flowing hair and a huge smile, he is standing beside his newly delivered Rolls Royce. Fast forward twenty years and a photo shows him with the same charm and style in the drawing room of Yester House. How glamorous he and Derek were, all their lives. What a partnership they had, both personally and in their businesses.

In Salisbury Peter and Derek, whom we all called ‘the Boys’, had a particularly close friendship with Tim Woolley of Woolley & Wallis and the antique dealer Ian Hastie who had a shop in the city. Ian Hastie used to vet English antiques for the Grosvenor House Antiques Fair and sold many items for ‘the Boys’. I first knew them in 1974 when as a young new doctor I worked as their gofer at the Grosvenor House Fair. Through them I met their glamorous world of people in antiques, art dealing, fabrics and interior design many of whom are to this day among my most valued friends. At that time they had a beautiful flat in Mount Street in Mayfair, and were closely involved with Geoffrey Bennison.

They always had intense dialogues with Tim Woolley on property matters – renting or buying and the sale of antiques. They never got over the price achieved at a Woolley & Wallis auction for an old ‘horn’ bowl in which they put their cufflinks. It was a Chinese rhino horn libation cup and fetched £30,000!

THE ART OF DECORATING

In Conjunction with

We are proud to present Parker Morris The Art of Decorating in conjunction with one of the most famous firms of interior decorators: Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler.

Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler maintain a unique place in the world of interior design creating beautiful spaces that are simultaneously timeless and up-to-date. As well as interior designers they are retailers of furniture, lighting, antiques and decorative objects from their showroom on the Pimlico Road in London.

On a recent meeting with Roger Jones, one of their directors and head interior designers, we discussed the Parker & Morris auction.

First things first Roger, how long have you been an interior decorator? Well I joined SC& JF thirty years ago to run the company’s antique business. Five or six years later I was first asked by clients to take an interior decoration project and since then I have never stopped!

What would you say is your decorating style? I would describe my personal taste as ‘unfussy traditional’ but I am happy to work in whatever style my clients want. I have had younger clients recently for whom a more modern look was appropriate and I very much enjoyed doing that.

How long have you known Derek and Peter, have they had a long association with Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler? Derek and Peter were already established clients when I joined SC & JF in 1994 and were regular visitors to our showrooms after that, whenever they were in London. They had a business connection with the company as well, as for a number of years they ran the Australian Colefax and Fowler showroom.

How does their decorating style relate to Sibyl Colefax and John Fowler past and present? The influence of SC & JF is evident in the way they decorated their various houses in the 1970s and 1980s, a sort of “full” Colefax and Fowler look: busier and more exuberant than the way in which we work today.

Which pieces from the collection relate to Sibyl Colefax and John Fowler? There are many pieces in the sale which historically relate to Sibyl Colefax and John Fowler. In particular lot 522 the splendid painted ‘faux marble’ dining table which was possibly the property of Nancy Lancaster. There are many lamps in the auction which are original SC & JF examples including the glass and brass examples lot 830. The two pairs of Battersea enamel style candlestick lamps, lots 835-840, were favourites of John Fowler. The painted faux Delft fibreglass vases, lot 592, are rare examples possibly designed by John Fowler and made by Christopher Hobbs. They would have been placed on lofty wall brackets on a decorating project.

What are your favourite pieces from the collection?  I love lot 693, a mahogany and brass hat and coat stand, a stylish addition to any entrance hall. Other favourites include lot 703 a very decorative tall chest of seven drawers (semainier) and lot 543 a large vase and cover with colourful and whimsical Chinoiserie decoration.

Born into a Vellala caste family in Cuddalore in the South India state of Tamil Nadu, he was originally named Arumugam by his father, a merchant who traded with the East India Company. When the first Protestant mission in India opened a school in his neighbourhood, he was one of the first students at the school to learn from Tamil books printed by the Tranquebar Lutheran Mission. In 1718 he travelled to Tranquebar where he was baptised and Christened 'Aaron' by Bartholomaeus Ziegenbaig a pioneer of Protestant missionary activity in India. Aaron ordained as a minister on 20 December, 1733. During his short lived ministry (which ended with his death on 25 June 1745) he built a strong reputation as a man of courage and integrity. He was mourned by both Hindus and Christians.

A RARE PAIR OF ITALIAN WHITE MARBLE RELIEF PORTRAITS OF AN OTTOMAN SULTAN AND HIS WIFE ATTRIBUTED TO ORAZIO MARINALI (VENETIAN 1643­1720), LATE 17TH / EARLY 18TH CENTURY

a facing pair of oval portrait medallions of an Ottoman Sultan or famous commander, depicted smoking a hookah pipe and wearing a turban and an ermine lined jacket together with its companion his wife or Sultana with her right hand tucked inside her clothes, each in a carved pine frame with traces of gilding (2) 13.5 x 9.8cm

Catalogue Note

On stylistic and typological grounds, this unpublished pair of portrait reliefs is the work of a famous and prolific Vicentine (i.e. Venetian) sculptor, Orazio Marinali, who is famed for this particular sideline. It is derived from the Renaissance tradition of producing series of images of famous men ­ or ‘Worthies’ as they were dubbed in English ­ often in the form of bronze medallions.

For centuries Venice, by means of its fleet, was occupied in trying to withstand the forces of the Ottoman Empire and its powerful navy, which culminated in the 16th and 17th centuries in two critical victories, almost a century apart: by sea the Battle of Lepanto (1571) and by land the Siege of Vienna (1683). It is therefore likely that these images depict leaders of the defeated hostile forces, either rulers or commanders of the hostile forces who had been crucial. They are probably taken from paintings or engravings of the respective periods.

For the Battle of Lepanto these would be either the Sultan, Selim II, or Ali Pasha, Admiral of the Ottoman Fleet; or for the Siege of Vienna, the Grand Vizier, Kara Mustafa Pasha. The latter suffered an ignominious end, being beheaded in Belgrade on 25 December – Christmas Day! ­ on the orders of the Sultan, to whom his head was brought on a silver salver. This second resounding defeat by the forces of the Holy Roman Emperor, Leopold I, and John III Sobieski, King of Poland, marked the beginning of the end of Ottoman domination in eastern Europe.

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.

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.

Accordingly neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury (except as required by law by reason of our negligence) or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to or at a 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.

12. AGENCY

The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by sellers or buyers.

13. TERMS OF SALE

The seller acknowledges that lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the lot.

14. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION

(a) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 ‘information to buyers’.

(b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.

15. FORGERIES

Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition. The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.

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.

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.
