PLEASE NOTE All items in this catalogue are illustrated actual size wherever possible, please refer to description for precise measurements.

The obverse description precedes the reverse; the measurements are given in millimetres, height before width, to the nearest millimetre. The condition of each item follows its description, using standard British grading procedures and numismatic terminology and is the opinion of the cataloguers. As thus they remain subjective and bidders are encouraged to examine the lots so as to determine their own opinions. Likewise rarity, when expressed, does not simply follow that which is published in various books, but expresses the opinion of the cataloguer’s experience. It should be noted that in numismatic catalogues the term “white metal” describes items struck or cast in tin, pewter or similar base metal.

FOREWORD The Christopher Foley collection of commemorative medals illustrative of British History has been formed over about the last quarter of a century. Initially this collection was focused mainly on the time of the Civil War and this itself made these medals the more rare. The first medal bought by Christopher Foley, the medal that was to lead to the formation of this collection is lot 125, Elizabeth I silver oval portrait cliché. The collection developed to the late 17th Century and back into the 16th Century. This catalogue aptly demonstrates just how very rare the earlier medals are; indeed this could be a last opportunity to acquire these early English medals.

The occurrence of a dispersal such as this is one that can measured on a century by century basis. The most recent comparable, but less comprehensive, sale was the Greta S. Heckett sale in 1977. Before this was the James O’Byrne (d. 1897) sale in 1962 and we should not overlook the Marquess of Bute 1951 dispersal of what was an ancient collection most of the medals being acquired as they were struck in the 17th and 18th Centuries. The R.W. Cocheran-Patrick sale of 1949 only offered 129 lots relating exclusively to Scotland.

These last sales came about after an interval that suffered two world wars. During this period we should not fail to notice the Max and Maurice Rosenheim (1923) and Henry Oppenheimer (1936) sales, however they offered little of United Kingdom interest; they are noted but for completeness.

This year marks the centenary of the J.E. Hodgkin sale. Exactly a decade before this was the J.G. Murdoch dispersal. The collection of T.M. Whitehead was a demonstration of what a dealer was able to come by in the years before 1898. The previous year saw the massive sale of the collection formed by Hyman Montague.

Before this we go into the mists of time, via the Lord Pembroke sale in 1848, Samuel Tyssen (1802) and Dr. Mead (1755) but suffice it to say these were collections formed haphazardly by usually noble collectors, recipients perhaps, who acquired these treasures at the time they were made; perhaps even from the very hand of the monarch. All this places this currant sale in a proper context.

To-day these medals must be less easy to acquire than in earlier times because of the amiable depredations of museums who give these nationally significant pieces a permanent home. The Foley collection has been formed by dint of his generous bidding during the last quarter of a century leaving few lots that was not a duplicate. For this reason we must regard this as perhaps one of the last such sales we are likely to see; at least during our current lifetimes.

It is worth noting that compared to even rare coins these medals are very rare and have become even more rare in terms of availability (supra). Your writer has compiled an index of the occurrence of these medals in sales back to the publication of the essential reference work (Edward Hawkins, A.W. Franks & Herbert A. Grueber, Medallic Illustrations of the History of Great Britain and Ireland to the Death of George II (1760) - 1885 and the equally useful 1969 reprint). It would be a shame to omit mention of Christopher Eimer’s British Commemorative Medals (2010) which has the added interest of suggesting commercial values, and in which several Foley medals are illustrated. Also J. J. and A. K. Platt’s The English Civil Wars (2013), is used as a reference for the first time. It is worth noting that during the last four years many of his valuations have been exceeded in the sale room and we should not know, probably by private treaty. Although it can scarcely be claimed that my unpublished index is complete it is a good wager that little has been missed.

My work makes manifest that the occurrence of a medal more than say a dozen times, perhaps the same example coming up several times, can be considered common within this context.

Daniel Fearon, an experienced savant, has performed a notable service to this specialised scholarship by compiling this catalogue which deserves to make sag the bookshelves of the scholarly collector for as far into the future as any of us can imagine.

It is safe to say that this must be one of the largest dispersals of those already mentioned and surely represents an opportunity which may not occur again.

THE EARLY MEDALS

1.

Sir Richard [Dick] Whittington (c. 1354-1423), an engraved silver plaquette, after an early 17th century line engraving by Renold or Reginold Elstrack [Elstracke], and perhaps trying to copy the medals of Simon de Passe, mid 17th century, half-length figure of Whittington seated at a table, wearing cap and gown and Mayoral Collar and Badge of Office, his right hand stokes his cat, RICHARD WHITINGTON (sic) EQUI AURAT VERA EFFIGIES PRECLARMI DOMINI, rev., small garnished shield of arms of Fitzwarren, 102 x 76.5mm. Very fine and believed second known specimen. £3,500-4,500 The only other specimen is in the British Museum, and is dated by them to be c. 1640. Elstrack probably first produced the engraving in 1605 in response to the printing of The History of Richard Whittington … (where his right hand rests not on his cat but on a skull). Davids suggests that this piece might date to 1641, with the publication of a ballad about Whittington. Alderman Fitzwarren was Whittington's sponsor and Whitington was to marry his daughter Alice.

Provenance: Bt. Roy Davids, 100 Portraits and a Coffin, Catalogue V [2000], no. 93.

2.

William de Wykeham (1324-1404), bishop of Winchester and founder [1382] of Winchester College, College’s silver prize medal for Latin and English composition, established 1797, by John Milton, awarded to “IACOBVS GOVER. BEDFORD COLL. WINTON SCHOLARIS AD 1804”, bust of DE WYKEHAM left, in cope and mitre, rev., Prince of Wales’s plumes, HONOREM PRINCEPS PROPONIT, named on edge, 48mm (MI 11/3; BHM 931, date shown as 1816; Stainton 16; Grimshaw 13). Extremely fine and scarce. £120-150 The recipient probably the Rev. James Gower (or Gover), of Portsea, Hants, who went up to St. John’s College, Oxford (B.A. 1808); died 30 March, 1871.

Provenance: Bt. eBay, August, 2012.

Federigo da Montefeltro (1422-1485), Count 1444-1472, Duke of Urbino 1472-1482, elected a Knight of the Garter, large cast bronze medal, attributed to Pietro Torregiano, bust of Federigo left wearing doublet, legend around, motto in gothic lettering within Garter, “hony soyt qy mal y pense”, rev., five winged genii support a platform on which a crowned eagle supports the Duke’s arms between two cornucopias, FE - DVX, 113mm (MI 16/1; Armand II, 36, 30; Pollard [2007] 342; Pollard, Bargello II, 1376; Hill, Corpus, 1118; JohnsonMartini [1986] 123, 551; Scholten 76;). An early cast of this historically important medal, very fine with dark patination, extremely rare. £4,000-6,000

Pietro Torregiano (1472-1528), is known as a sculptor and best remembered for, in 1491, punching Michaelangelo in the face and breaking his nose. He was in England from 1503-1519 during which time he made a superb bas-relief roundel of Sir Thomas Lovell, now in Westminster Abbey, in which the bust of the sitter is encircled by a Garter in a style whilst similar to this medal, is of a superior quality. Most recently Frits Scholten (2011), attributes Lehman’s medal to “Follower of Antonio Averlino, called Filarete (c. 14001469). The prototypes of the design, both showing four putti on the reverse, could be a gold Solidus of Constantine the Great, struck in 316 at Ticenum (Maria Alfoldi, Die Constantinische Goldprägung, Mainz, 1963, no. 91; Patrick Bruun, Roman Imperial Coinage, London, 1966, vol VII, 366, nos. 41-42), or a gold medal of Licinius II (Alfoldi, 108).

Of the nineteen Knights appointed during the reign of Edward IV, two others were Italian, Ferdinand II, King of Sicily and Aragon and Ercole I d’Este, Duke of Ferrara, whilst a third foreigner was João II, King of Portugal.

Hill records four examples and details of up to a further five specimens. Since Hill a further four or five specimens have been recorded. That in the Heberden Coin Room of the Ashmolean Musem is currently on view.

An image of the obverse of this medal forms the frontispiece to Medallic Illustrations, vol. I [1885] and it is fitting that a specimen of it is offered in Christopher Foley’s collection. See lot (582) for the medal that is the frontispiece to vol. II. Provenance: Bt. R. Falkiner, Summer 2000; ex Münzen und Médaillen, Basel

The expulsion of the English from France, the “Calaisienne Medal”, French struck silver medal, 1454-55, a shield bearing the arms of France, surmounted by an open royal crown, branches of roses either side, legend in three concentric circles around, GLORIA : PAX : TIBI : SIT : REX : KAROLE : LAVS : Q3 : PERhENIUS : REGNUM : FRANCORUM / TANTO : DISCRIMINE : LABENS : hOSTILI : RABIE : VICTA : VIRTUTE / REFORMANS : XPI : CONSILIO : LEGIS : ET : AUXILIO :, rev., cross with lis points within quadralobe, crowns in inner angles, cinquefoils in outer, legend around in three concentric circles, hORA : NOVIA : DOMINVS IhS : EXPIRAVIT : hELI : CLAMANS : ADIMAM / MENDAVIT : LATVS : EIVS : LANCEA : MIIIES : DEREORAVIT TERRA TVA / CONTREMVIT : ET : SOLI : OBSCVRAVIT : ADORAMVS : TERPE, 56.5mm, 17.22g (cf MI 14/4, obverse; Maz. 3; cf BMC [Jones] 8, obverse; 10 & 11; V de V 3; Trésor 1,2,

rev.; Wilson-Smith, this piece illustrated). Very fine and excessively rare in commerce.

£8,000-12,000

This is one of a group of several varieties of somewhat similar medals, struck by Charles VII of France (1403-1422-1461), following his success in the expulsion of the English from all of France with the exception of the northern port of Calais and the Channel Islands. As medals they follow no precedent and their style eminates from the coinage of the period. As Jones writes, they “must be reckoned among the largest and finest pieces produced by a medieval mint”. Other specimens are recorded, all in Museum collections:- Biblioteque Nationale, Paris, Silver and Gilt-silver; Bronze (2 - these perhaps c. 1830); Musée des Monnaies, Paris, Bronze (c. 1830); Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, Silver (ex. R. Falkiner, 1983).

Provenance: Peus Auction, 29 April, 2000 (lot 617); ex. Private Collection, Bremen. It is possible that this is the L’Abbé Barthélemy specimen [JeanJacques Barthélemy (1716-1795), from 1753 Keeper of the Royal Collection of Medals], Ch. Lorrimer (Rouen) Collection, Raymond Serrure, Paris, Auction, 10 December, 1900; Collection Babut, Etienne Bourgey, Paris, Auction, 5 December, 1927.

John Kendal (d. 1501), Turcopolier (Colonel General of Infantry) of the Order of St John (1477), the Siege of Rhodes by the Turks, cast bronze portrait Medal, 1480, of Italian manufacture, bust right with long hair, IO KENDAL RHODI TVRCVOPELLERIVS, rev., shield of arms, TEMPORE. OBSIDIONIS. TVRCHORVM. MCCCCLXXX, 55mm (MI 17/3; Hill 934; Furse p. 379). A somewhat worn but original cast with old but later gilding applied, reverse fine, obverse better. £1,000-1,200 John Kendal was commissary and deputy to Pope Sixtus IV “throughout the globe” and Turcopolier at the time of the siege of Rhodes by the Turks.

The latter post was annexed to that of Grand Bailiff of England and he was also Prior of the Order of St John in London and Grand Master. As such the task of recruiting for troops, especially in Ireland, to fight the Turks fell to him. The medal is sold with an old collector’s ticket priced at “2000 frs”.

Provenance: Baldwin’s Auction, 4 May, 2006 (lot 2311).

The pretender Perkin Warbeck (c. 1474 - executed 1499), medallic coin or jeton, c. 1494, probably Continental manufacture, mm. leopard passant gardant both sides, crowned arms of England between crowned lis and crowned rose, DOMINIE SALVVM FAC REGEM, rev., crown and rose over and below lis and leopard, 23.5mm, 3.90gms [60.186 grains] (MI 21/3; North 1758; S. -; C. Blunt, ‘The Medallic Jeton of Perkin Warbeck’, BNJ 25 (1949-51), pp. 215-216). An excellent example of this coin, good very fine, toned and extremely rare. £7,000-10,000 Perkin Warbeck, claiming to be Richard, Duke of York, the brother of Edward V, tried to invade England three times. He was finally captured near London and was executed in 1499. It is believed that around fifteen examples of the Warbeck coin are known, most probably emanating from the Burgundian Low Countries. They carry the royal arms of England and, although anonymous, have generally been accepted as being associated with Warbeck. The date, 1494, the legend, on one side a version of the writing on the wall at Belshazzar’s feast (seemingly a threat to Henry VII) and on the other the Latin equivalent of ‘O God, save the King’ (a reference to the pretender) and the general resemblance of the obverse to a description of a seal of Warbeck’s strengthen the attribution.

The average weight of the extant examples is around 60 grains, in contrast to the 48 grain standard for the contemporary English Groat. As all surviving specimens were struck from single pair of dies, it suggests that they were not a serious exercise in finance, but they may well have been struck in the run up to Warbeck’s ‘invasion’ of England in July 1495.

The specimen now in the Fitzwilliam Museum was bequeathed to Cambridge University in 1589 (C E Blunt, BNJ 1950 pp.215-6).

Provenance: Ex T. Hollis, Sotheby, 14 May 1817 (lot 302); ex H R Willett, Collection of Patterns purchased privately by J. D. Cuff; J. D. Cuff, Sotheby, 8 June 1854 (lot 958); ex E. W.

Clarke Thornhill, Glendining, 24 May 1937 (lot 429); Spink, Numismatic Circular, July 1942 (no.15405 - £40-0-0); Spink Auction, 31 March, 2004 (lot 56)

7.

Elizabeth of York (1466-1503), Queen of England, silver medal of German manufacture, by Loos, bust three-quarters left wearing embroidered dress, headdress and ornate necklace, ELIS EBOR HENRICI VIIREG ANG, rev., the two roses of York and Lancaster, entwined, HINC NOSTRÆ CREVERE ROSÆ, 39mm (MI 22/5; Eim 24). Extremely fine, toned. £120-150 This attractive medal was commissioned by Mr Thane, a collector who felt that Elizabeth of York deserved a place in Dassier’s series of English Sovereigns.

Elizabeth of York was the oldest daughter of Edward IV and her marriage to Henry VII in 1483, ended the Wars of the Roses by joining the houses of York and Lancaster.

It was struck in the early years of the 19th Century and the obverse portrait is after Holbein.

Provenance: Baldwin’s Auction, 4 October, 2004 (lot 931).

8.

Cardinal Thomas Wolsey (c.1471-1530), cast bronze medal, unsigned, bust right wearing buttoned gown and cap, THOMAS VOLSEY S F E CA…, rev., naked female figure, perhaps Peace, holding palm branch and standing facing on globe, around which entwined a serpent with three heads, 59mm (MI -; Eim. -; Att -; Pollard -; Arm. -). A piece broken from edge, at 4 o’clock, very fine and a cast of considerable age. £400-500 The medal is a late 17th century restitution. It appears to be by the same hand as the excessively rare medal of Sir Thomas Moore (MI 34/23) and by an unknown Florentine medallist (D.Fearon, Numismatic Circular, June 1978, where the Moore medal is discussed).

Provenance: Ex. Michael Hall Collection, Part III; Baldwin Auction, 28 September 2010 (lot 2522)

9.

Very fine. £150-200 This restitutional medal is noted in Medallic Illustrations [1885] as a “modern copy” of a medal believed to be unique (Pembroke Collection).

H. E. Pagan does not attribute it to the well-known forger and producer of fantasies, Edward Emery (BNJ 40, 1971, “Mr. Emery’s Mint”).

Provenance: R. Falkiner, June, 2008.

10. Henry VIII (1509-1547), Head of the Church, restitutional silver medal or ‘so-called’ pattern crown, c. 1545, crowned bust virtually fullface, holding sword of state and orb, rev., crowned arms with lion and dragon supporters, HR monogram below, ANGLICE Z HIBENICE ECCLESIE SVPREMVM CAPVT, 43mm (cf MI 47/43). Good very fine and rare. £250-350 Medallic Illustrations states ‘…the unsatisfactory nature of the workmanship renders it probable that it is a copy, made in the present (ie 19th) century on the Continent…’, however H. E. Pagan (BNJ 40, 1971, “Mr. Emery’s Mint”), writing of these pieces states they “could very well be products of the Emery mint”.

Provenance: Bt. eBay, December, 2012.

A handsome medal, nearly extremely fine, pierced at top, scarce. £300-400 This portrait, which is derived from Holbein, is sometimes paired with that of Erasmus, taken from a bronze medal of 1519 by Quentin Matsys.

Provenance: Baldwin’s Auction, 24 September, 2013 (lot 5266).

A fascinating and unique medal, sharp extremely fine. £1,200-1,500 This piece appears to have been originally struck for use in the household of Queen Mary of Hungary (1522-1558), the original H in the obverse legend having been altered to an S and the date 1552 altered to 1551.

The Pike Watts Mausoleum, in the Church of the Holy Cross, Ilam, Staffordshire, contains Francis Chantrey's magnificent monument. By 1833 the recipient, Matthew Cotton, is recorded in the post of Receiver and Wardrobe Keeper at Christ's Hospital.

A superb and heavy specimen, virtually mint state. £2,000-2,500 Prince Maurice, although of Arminian sympathies, took the side of the Gomarists as they supported the power of the Stadtholder.

This specimen is about a half ounce (15.16g) heavier than regular examples (see next lot) and the most obvious explanation is that it was struck for presentation rather than simply commemoration. The Synod was attended by delegates from Britain and seven other foreign countries and held between 13 November, 1618 and 9 May, 1619. See also footnote to lot 171.

Obverse extremely fine and the only example known to the cataloguers with this added border. £400-500 The reverse, with the portrait of Charles I, has been sacrificed to make something special of the image James and is damaged where fixed to the border.

During this period he sold licences to other artists, including Simon Van de Passe and his brother. The British Museum catalogue records a unique engraved piece in the Cochran-Patrick collection similar to this but without the added border.

Nearly extremely fine, toned and extremely rare. £4,000-6,000 Briot made a number of pieces that are traditionally described as patterns for a halfcrown. The style and Briot’s use of a rocker press have always helped with this attribution. However the legend, taken from Virgil, which translates as “Grant, O King, a prosperous course and favour bold undertakings”, together with the date, would seem to link in with the proposed second expedition to La Rochelle.

A medal of considerable numismatic importance, a slight crease to left of head, good very fine and excessively rare. £10,000-12,000 Parkhurst held many positions but is best remembered for his involvement at the Mint.

With the Civil War he established the mints at Shrewsbury and Oxford, where Thomas Rawlins made this unusual portrait depicting the sitter proudly holding one of his Royalist badges in his hand. After the Restoration he recovered his wardenship in 1660, and during the next few years presided over the re-minting of the old Commonwealth coinage and the adoption of mechanised production at the Tower. Parkhurst married (1619) Ann Elwes daughter of the Leiutenant of the Tower. He was knighted in later in the same year. A similar medal was sold in the Greta S.

Good very fine, perhaps better, grey tone and an exceptional rarity. £2,000-2,500 Platt writes, “An excessively rare medal, known only in silver”. Medallic Illustrations lists two specimens, one in the Hunterian Collection, the other in the Bavarian Royal Collection, Munich [now housed in the Münchner Residenz]. The British Museum subsequently acquired their specimen in 1899 and it appears in the Plates to Medallic Illustrations. The medal is hard to date, old obverse die medal displays a slight central die flaw from the top to bottom and another, more marked, extending from the beak of the phoenix to the edge (between HIBER and REX). The reverse is in a somewhat differing style and no other medals of the period have a milled edge. The dies may have broken, this would explain its rarity, but the theme of the medal with the name of Charles II linked with the image of a phoenix would not have been popular in Cromwellian England. Thomas Rawlins was believed to have moved to France by 1648 and although he returned to England in 1652 he was no reinstated as Chief Engraver at the Mint till after the Restoration in 1660.

Lessen has established that 80 specimens were issued and awarded. The survival rate has not been good and whilst listing 15 specimens he has demonstrated the confusion of pedigrees from named sales, some going back to the 18th century, and concludes that several of them must be the same pieces re-appearing, “seven distinct specimens can be defined today, with one or two more possibles out of the fifteen listed, so perhaps eight or nine [survive] in total”. Of these three are in English museum collections. Only three medals have appeared at public auction since the War, the first Glendining, 12 February, 1964 (lot 10), the second ex David F. Spink Collection, SCA 50, 6-7 March, 1986 (lot 930), and third this specimen as detailed below. A fourth, also ex David Spink, was sold privately by his estate in 1986.

Tromp established his reputation with the destruction of the Spanish fleet at the Battle of the Downs in 1639, a battle that effectively ended Spanish sea power. The Battle of Texel [Scheveningen] was fought between the Dutch and English forces as the Dutch tried to break the English blockade of the Dutch coast. The outcome was indecisive and heavy losses were incurred on both sides. Tromp was killed by a sharpshooter in the rigging of William Penn’s ship.

Very fine and showing the usual flaws and rust marks. £100-150 The die for this medal, from which no specimens were struck in the 17th century, was one of a number of Roettier family dies sold by a Mr. Cox to the coin dealer and jeweller Matthew Young, of Ludgate Hill (London), in 1828. Young was to give all of the dies to the British Museum in 1829 and only a very few specimens were struck.

Frances Stuart - La Belle Stuart - was a notable beauty at the court of Charles II and was married in March 1667. Roettier worked on medallic portraits of two further beauties, all unfinished, but that of the Duchess of Richmond was to be used by him, in a reduced size, as the model for Britannia on the medal for the reverse of the Peace of Breda (MI 535/185-186) and the subsequent new copper coinage. Whilst the diarist John Evelyn was to write of “the fair Mrs. Stuart”, Samuel Pepys, 25 February 1667, wrote of the Breda medal “where in little is Mrs. Stewart’s face, as well done as ever I saw anything in my whole life, I think; and a pretty thing it is that he should choose her face to represent Britannia by”.

However a fortunate fire forced the King’s party to return early and the attack was thwarted. The Hydra represents the Devil together with the members of the plot, Monmouth, Lord William Russell, Hampden, Algernon Sidney, the Earl of Essex and Algernon Sidney, with the wolves on the gibbet being Sidney and Russell, who were tried by Judge George Jeffreys and beheaded.

591. ITALY, two satyrs, Venetian School, cast bronze medal, 16th century, a satyr head to left, incorporating some animal features, rev., a satyr-head to left, composed of a tangle of phalluses and testicles, 40.5mm (Attwood 416). Very fine, scarce. £200-250 The phallus-head medals are linked with the well-known poet Pietro Aretino (1492-1557), who was famous for his satirical poems. There have been several suggestions for the medal; that Aretino commissioned it and that the obverse is Paolo Giovio; that it is revenge by someone insulted by Aretino; that it alludes to Aretino’s homosexuality. One variety depicts Aretino on the obverse and the medal has legends on both sides.

As an image, the phallus-head first appeared in a drawing attributed to Cecchino del Salviati and also on a maiolica plate from 1536.

SOCIETY OF FINE ART AUCTIONEERS AND VALUERS and the 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 22% on the first £500,000 and 12% thereafter + VAT at the appropriate rate.

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 double symbol (**) 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.

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 pre-sale 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. 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).

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. 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. 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.

8. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required for the goods to leave the U.K. and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing the goods in question into the destination country because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Charges may be applicable for export licences. Ask us if you need help.

The denial of any permit or licence shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale contract or any delay in payment.

9. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form.

Some form of identification will be required if you are unknown to us.

Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding.

10. Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers’ premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or fax.

11. Methods of Payment. As a general rule any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted. Please discuss with our Office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment are envisaged (except cash).

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.

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 re-offered at a future sale. Where in our opinion an item is unsaleable you must collect such items from the saleroom promptly on being so informed. Otherwise, storage charges may be incurred. We reserve the right to charge for storage in these circumstances at a reasonable daily rate.

12. 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 four 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.

DEFINITIONS In these Conditions: (a) ‘auctioneer’ means Woolley & Wallis Salisbury Salerooms Ltd or its authorised auctioneer, as appropriate; (b) ‘deliberate forgery’ means an imitation made with the intention of deceiving as to authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source but which is unequivocally described in the catalogue as being the work of a particular creator and which at the date of the sale had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with the description; (c) ‘hammer price’ means the level of bidding reached (at or above any reserve) when the auctioneer brings down the hammer; (d) ‘terms of consignment’ means the stipulated terms and rates of commission on which Woolley & Wallis Salisbury Salerooms Ltd accepts instructions from sellers or their agents; (e) ‘total amount due’ means the hammer price in respect of the lot sold together with any premium, Value Added Tax chargeable and any additional charges payable by a defaulting buyer under these Conditions; (f) ‘sale proceeds’ means the net amount due to the seller, being the hammer price of the lot sold less commission at the stated rate, Value Added Tax chargeable and any other amounts due to us by the seller in whatever capacity and however arising. (g) ‘‘You’, ‘Your’, etc. refer to the buyer as identified in Condition 2. (h) The singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate.

2. BIDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER (a) Bidders are required to register their particulars before bidding and to satisfy any security arrangements before entering the auction room to view or bid; (b) the maker of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the buyer at the hammer price and any dispute about a bid shall be settled at the auctioneer’s absolute discretion by reoffering the Lot during the course of the auction or otherwise. The auctioneer shall act reasonably in exercising this discretion. (c) Bidders shall be deemed to act as principals. (d) Our right to bid on behalf of the seller is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve and the right to refuse any bid is also reserved.

Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by buyers of relevant lots. (Please refer to ‘Information for Buyers’ for a brief explanation of the VAT position).

6. PAYMENT (a) Immediately a lot is sold you will: (i) give to us, if requested, proof of identity, and (ii) pay to us the total amount due in pounds sterling (b) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing from you to us on any account whatever without regard to any directions of you or your agent, whether express or implied.

(c) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for.

8. REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES (a) If any Lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the seller and on our own behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (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; (iii) to resell the lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs).

THIRD PARTY LIABILITY All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay-out 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.

10. COMMISSION BIDS Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition, we will if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so save where such failure is unreasonable.

Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made.

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

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

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

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

PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS, LITHOGRAPHS, ENGRAVINGS AND PRINTS In accordance with long standing practice in Fine Art Sale Rooms certain terms used in descriptions in the Catalogue have the meanings ascribed to them in the glossary below.

Glossary Any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date, age, provenance and condition is a statement of opinion and is not to be taken as a statement of fact. The Company reserves the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expect or authority considered by them to be reliable. (a) Edward Lear: In our opinion a work by the artist. (When the artist’s forename(s) is not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not, indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named. (b) Attributed to Edward Lear: In our opinion probably a work by the artist but less certainly as to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category. (c) Studio of Edward Lear: In our opinion a work by an unknown hand in the studio of the artist which may be or may not have been executed under the artist’s direction. (d) Circle of Edward Lear: In our opinion a work by an as yet unidentified but distinct hand, closely associated with the named artist but not necessarily his pupil. (e) Style of ...; Follower of Edward Lear: In our opinion a work by a painter working in the artist’s style, contemporary or nearly contemporary, but not necessarily his pupil. (f) Manner of Edward Lear: In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date. (g) After Edward Lear: In our opinion a copy of a known work of the artist. (h) The term signed and/or dated and/or inscribed means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription are from the hand of the artist. (i) The term bears a signature and/or date and/or inscription means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription have been added by another hand. (j) Dimensions are given height before width. (k) Pictures are framed unless otherwise stated.

BOOK AUCTIONS If, on collation, any named item in this catalogue proves defective in text or illustration, the lot may be returned within 14 days of the sale with the defects stated in writing. This proviso shall not apply to defects stated in the catalogue or announced at the time of sale; nor to the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards or advertisements, damage in respect of bindings, stains, spotting, marginal tears or other defects not affecting completeness of text or illustration; nor to drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts, signed photographs, music, atlases, maps or periodicals; nor to books not identified by title; nor to books sold not subject to return.

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.

ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT / DROIT DE SUITE

21. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.

Lots marked with a ‡ symbol are potentially subject to the 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 by the auctioneer.

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 €12,500

Valuations 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.

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.

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

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.

Contact Christine Johnson 01722 424509 FREE AUCTION VALUATIONS Free verbal valuations of items for sale are available at our Castle Street salerooms. Please telephone the relevant specialist or call our office on 01722 424500.
