KENNETH NEAME: AN ENDURING LEGACY

LOTS 1-227

Kenneth Neame began his career as an antique dealer after studying architecture at Cambridge. His first shop was housed in Handel's House in Brook Street, Mayfair. It soon became the destination for discerning clients staying at Claridge’s from around the world. After over 30 years in Handel's House the business relocated to Mount Street in 1990.

Kenneth Neame's client list inevitably reads like a Who's Who of British aristocracy, European and Middle Eastern royalty, Hollywood Actors and Greek shipping magnates. He has acquired antiques for both the 2nd and 4th Viscount Rothermere, working at Daylesford and Warwick House. Baroness Thatcher, Gianni Versace, Brook Astor, Bunny Mellon, Daisy Fellowes, HRH Princess Soraya, Pamela Harriman, Vivian Leigh, Ralph Richardson, Margaret Leighton, Madam Rochas, Estée Lauder, Helena Rubenstein and Rudolf Nureyev were all clients. A longstanding collector recounts a visit to Kenneth's shop in Brook Street where an outstanding bed was positioned in the window complete with an elegant Nureyev sprawled across the silk covers. Nureyev was of course trying it for size.

Kenneth's conversation is peppered with fascinating anecdotes. They are not boasts but the day to day reality of dealing in such a fascinating world of extraordinary antiques and the clients who bought them. Many of Kenneth's clients became life long trusted friends. When one decorates such intimate spaces it is inevitable that a strong bond develops between client and dealer. Whether a project was a grand house, an intimate chalet, yacht or private aircraft, the level of professionalism and flair remain a constant hallmark of the Neame style. Further evidence of the trust and regard in which he is held is evident in the acquiring and reacquiring of antiques from clients throughout subsequent generations.

Diane Shiach

Art Historian, Curator and Advisor

After seven decades of decorating and acquiring antiques for his glittering array of clients, Kenneth has now closed his London business and we are delighted to be selling a selection of his remaining stock and items from his London home in Cadogan Square. This sale marks the culmination of an illustrious career. Elegant English and European furniture is accompanied by early English porcelain, japanned tables and of course a nod to the exotic and China is never far away with Chinese school watercolours and porcelains all included in the sale.

Provenance

Purchased from Maria Baer, Davies Street, London. The Adler Collection of Treen.

Catalogue Note

A legacy of Anglo­Saxon culture, wassailing ceremonies traditionally occurred on important feast days, especially Twelfth Night. The term ‘wassail’ itself derives from the Anglo­Saxon ‘waes hael’, meaning ‘good health’. This expression of well­wishing was exchanged as the wassail bowl was passed round the table for guests to share its contents of mulled ale. The bowl had become, by the Stuart period, a significant status symbol and grew greatly in size during the 17th century, thanks to the adoption of lignum vitae as a turnery wood around 1660. With its large hardwood core and its particular durability, this timber revealed itself ideal for making large drinking vessels, especially as its sap was also considered to have healing properties. The pinnacle in this production is arguably epitomised by Post­Restoration wassail bowls, such as the example offered here. Recent examples of this date sold in these rooms include lot 14, 4th October 2017, which fetched £14,000 hammer, as well as lot 101, 6th July 2021, which achieved £8,500 hammer and lot 43, 3rd April 2019, which made £6,500 hammer.

39 x 40cm (max)

Catalogue Note

The Norfolk Arms tragedy, sometimes referred to as 'May's Downfall', occurred on 1st April 1829 and to many was seen as one of the worst industrial accidents to have taken place in the 19th century. The cotton industry of the early 19th century was in such a bad state that many employers in the Hyde and Stockport areas of Manchester started to impose wage reductions on their employees. As a result, a meeting of many of the employees was held at the Norfolk Arms in Hyde, whose landlord was John May. The room in which the meeting was to be held had a capacity of around 300 but, on the day, around 700 people turned up. As a result, the floor eventually gave way dropping upto 200 people into the room below. Such was the force that this lower floor also gave way, dropping many of the people through the floor and into the cellar below. Once the scene was cleared, they found 29 people dead and many other injured. Despite cries of 'Foul Play' by many of the employees, the jury's verdict of accidental death is thought to probably be correct. As a result, a disaster fund was started with many people producing items to be sold, including needlework pictures and samplers, which eventually raised over £700.

A FRENCH BRONZE FIGURE OF THE DYING GLADIATOR AFTER PIERRE JULIEN (FRENCH 1731­1804), EARLY 19TH CENTURY

modelled as a bearded gladiator leaning on his shield, his sword on the ground, on a naturalistic base 60cm high, 49cm wide, 33.5cm deep

Catalogue Note

This bronze casting of The Dying Gladiator is taken from the original, currently held in Le Louvre, Paris, and which is considered to be one of Julien’s masterpieces. It was Julien’s second admission piece for the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. Submitted in 1778, he was admitted to the Academie Royale in March 1779 and appointed as an assistant teacher in 1781.

He had started his training under Guillaume Coustou in Paris in around 1765, was awarded a scholarship to the Academie de France in Rome, where he studied for three years, after which he returned to Coustou’s studios to develop his skills and style until Coustou’s death in 1777. It is probably that his original inspiration came from the Roman marble called the Dying Gaul or, occasionally, the Dying Gladiator which is held in the Capitoline Museums in Rome. This shows a dying warrior in a near prone position where as Julien chose a more upright pose, perhaps better emphasising the tension, anxiety and ultimate failure of the gladiator to win the laurel crown beneath his left hand.

Another version of this figure is held at Cragside, the National Trust property in Northumberland. Other versions can also be found in Bury Art Museum and the Speed Art Museum, Louisville, Kentucky. Examples that have been sold at auction include Sotheby’s London, 20 March 1992, lot 91 and Sotheby’s Paris, Important French Furniture, Sculpture and Works of Art, 30 September 2011, lot 187.

FIELD MARSHAL HORATIO HERBERT KITCHENER, 1ST EARL KITCHENER (1850­1916)

LOTS 659­678

Field Marshal Horatio Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener of Khartoum, KG, KP,GCB, OM, GCSI, GCMG, GCIE, ADC, PC (24th June 1850­5th June 1916) was an Irish born British Field Marshal and Preconsul who won fame for his Imperial campaigns and later played a central role in the early part of the First World War.

Kitchener was credited in 1898 for winning the Battle of Omdurman and securing control of the Sudan, for which he was made ‘Lord Kitchener of Khartoum’. As Chief of Staff (1900­02) in the Second Boer War he played a key role in Lord Roberts’ conquest of the Boer Republics, then succeeded Roberts as Commander­in­Chief­ by which time Boer forces had taken to guerilla fighting and British forces imprisoned Boer civilians in concentration camps.

Returning to England in 1902 he was created Viscount Kitchener and was appointed Commander­in­Chief in India. His position as Secretary of State for War, for which he is arguably best known, was a position he took reluctantly when war broke out in 1914. His foresight in recognising that the conflict could well last for many years resulted in the now famous push for conscription and he organised the largest volunteer army ever seen. This was driven by the now iconic conscription poster image of Kitchener demanding ‘Your Country Needs You!’.

Sadly his colleagues did not share the public’s opinion of the renowned leader and being blamed for a shortage of shells in the spring of 1915, he was relieved of his responsibilities. He drowned on the 5th June 1916 when his ship, HMS Hampshire, was sunk by a German mine during a mission to Russia.

Few people are aware that Lord Kitchener was a connoisseur of art and objects and he had a vast collection of paintings, furniture, arms and armour, pottery and porcelains which were housed at Broome Park, Kent, a 17th century Grade 1 Listed mansion which he bought in 1911. The vast majority of his collection was auctioned in 1938, but the following lots were inherited by his family and passed down by descent.

A RARE NEW ZEALAND NATIVE SPECIMEN WOOD PARQUETRY ‘CARD’ TABLE BY ANTON SEUFFERT, AUCKLAND DATED ‘1867’

Seufert, Cabinet Maker, Auckland, New Zealand', revealing a silver presentaton plaque inscribed 'Presented to Major Ed. Brooke, R.E. By a few Ladies of Auckland, 11th March 1867', on a screw­off tripod base with a fluted stem on cabriole legs carved in relief with Maori style motifs and triple dots representing past, present and future, on scrolling feet 76cm high, 68cn diameter

Catalogue Note

Anton Seuffert was born in Bohemia in 1815 and later joined his father in the Vienna firm of cabinetmakers, Carl Leistler. Seuffert Snr and Jnr organised the firm's stand at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851, their most notable piece of furniture being the spectacular Gothic revival cabinet presented by Emperor Franz Joseph I to Queen Victoria, now in the Victoria and Albert Museum. Anton Seuffert emigrated to Auckland in 1859 and quickly established premises under his own name, specialising in high quality marquetry productions. He exhibited a pictorial marquetry secretaire consisting of 30,000 pieces of New Zealand timbers at the South Kensington International Exhibition of 1862. The secretaire was later acquired by the citizens of Auckland for 300 guineas and presented as a gift to Queen Victoria. It is still in the Royal Collection. Seuffert received further patronage from the Duke of Edinburgh in 1869. He changed his name from Seufert to Seuffert in 1869 and he died in 1887.

Parquetry 'card tables' such as the present lot were intended for depositing 'calling' or business cards.

Major Edward Brooke of the Royal Engineers

Edward Thomas Brooke (1834­1909) was born in Ireland. He was the son of Reverend R. Sinclair Brooke of the Mariner's Church, Kingstowne, Ireland. He joined the Royal Engineers at the close of the Crimean War, but saw active service for the first time in the Maori War of 1863­64. He was twice mentioned in despatches and received his brevet of major for his services at the battle of Rangiriri, where he was wounded. He was then the youngest major in the Service. He was in the Transvaal at the time of the annexation of the country by Sir T. Shepstone and hoisted the British flag at Pretoria on that occasion. He retired in 1886.

The Battle of Rangiriri

The Battle of Rangiriri was a major engaement in the invasion of Waikato which took place between 20th­21st of November 1863 during the New Zealand wars. More than 1400 British troops defeated about 500 warriors of the Kingitanga (Maori King Movement) which was resisting the expansion of the British settlement and colonial rule in the North Island.

The Ladies of Auckland

The dedication on the silver plaque probably relates to the Auckland Ladies' Benevolent Society. It was established around 1857 and its chief object was to 'relieve cases of genuine distress that do not come under the jurisdiction of other bodies; to assist the poor and needy; and to systematically visit the dwellings of the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and comfort the desolate and oppressed'. Why the table was presented to Major Edward Brooke is open to question, was it for his heroic efforts in the Rangiriri wars? Or for good works done for the Maori community?

A VICTORIAN WHITE MARBLE GROUP OF ‘VIOLET AND HENRY’ BY ALEXANDER MUNRO (SCOTTISH 1825­1871)

mounted on a verde antico marble plinth

64cm high, 83cm wide

Catalogue Note

Alexander Munro (1825­1871)

Alexander Munro was a Scottish sculptor who pioneered the move away from the academic style of the early 19th century towards the greater naturalism of the Pre­Raphaelite movement. Munro met Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais and Arthur Hughes at the Royal Academy Schools, which he joined following an invitation by the architect Charles Barry to work on the sculptural decoration of the new Parliament building. Though not formally part of the Pre­Raphaelite Brotherhood, Munro was closely associated with its members and shared a studio with Hughes for six years. Munro also met John Ruskin while teaching at the Working Men’s College in Great Ormond Street alongside his fellow sculptor Thomas Woolner from 1855. The ideal of truth to nature set out by Ruskin is present in Munro’s work, as well as the Pre­Raphaelite interest in the Medieval world, encapsulated in his masterpiece Paolo and Francesca, first executed as plaster maquette for the 1851 Great Exhibition’s Sculpture Court and later in marble (Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, accession number 1960P29). Munro was also an accomplished portraitist, exemplified by the group of six portraits of scientists he was commissioned for the Oxford University Museum by Professor Henry Acland, including a bust of the professor himself (Ashmolean Museum, accession number WA.OA1769). All these innovative features are encapsulated in the work offered here, Violet and Henry, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1865. Described in full ‘Violet and Henry’, and published in The Illustrated London News on 17 June 1865, it displays Munro’s technical virtuosity and the tender pathos that characterises much of his work, as well as his skill in imbuing liveliness in his portraiture. This work is closely related to the marble figural group titled ‘The Sisters’ which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1857 and sold by Sotheby’s, London, 19th & 20th Century Sculpture, 12th December 2018.

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 €10,000.

Droit de Suite, which is not subject to VAT, will be added to the buyer’s purchase price and then passed on to the relevant collecting agency.

Please enquire for the accepted exchange rate on the day of the sale.

Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows:

4% Up to €50,000

3% €50,000.01 ­ 200,000

1% €200,000.01 ­ 350,000

0.5% €350,000.01 ­ 500,000

0.25% In excess of €500,000

Up to a maximum levy of €10,000

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

INSTITUTION OF CHARTERED SURVEYORS CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS

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.

(c) No purchase may be collected and we shall not release any lot to you or your agent until it has been paid for.

8. REMEDIES FOR NON­PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES

(i) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract;

(ii) to rescind the sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to you;

9. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY

All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay­out of the accommodation and security arrangements. 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.

Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition, we will if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so save where such failure is unreasonable. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made.

11. WARRANTY OF TITLE AND AVAILABILITY

The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you that the seller is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

12. AGENCY

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

13. TERMS OF SALE

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

14. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION

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

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

15. FORGERIES

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

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.

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.
