6. The historically significant nursing awards to Doreen Norton, O.B.E., F.R.C.N. (1922-2007): The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, Lady Officer’s shoulder badge, 2nd type, on its bow ribbon and in case of issue; Royal College of Nursing Fellow’s badge, silver gilt and enamels, reverse inscribed ‘5 D. NORTON 24.11.1976’, Thomas Fattorini, Birmingham 976, cased; both extremely £300-500 fine. [2] Doreen Norton’s long and distinguished career encompassed a contribution to modern nursing that was nothing short of revolutionary. Her pioneering work in the prevention of pressure sores, commonly known as bed sores, terminated a long and benighted period of ineffective treatments by promoting techniques that, though not unknown before her time, have become common practice in large part thanks to her efforts. In recognition of this she was made one of the first fellows of the R.C.N. in 1976, and created O.B.E. the following year.

9. The impressive Hundred Days Offensive Military Cross group to Captain John Alford Cheston, Royal Fusiliers: Military Cross, George V; British War Medal and Victory Medal (CAPT. J. A. CHESTON.), nearly extremely fine; together with a set of mounted dress miniatures and a Royal Fusiliers collar badge. £800-1,200 M.C. L.G.: 31043 02/12/19 The recipient was born in Chelsea in 1889, and followed his father, Horace Cheston, in becoming an architect. He was commissioned in the 24th Battalion Royal Fusiliers (2nd Sportsman’s Battalion), having entered France in January 1917. In September 1918 his battalion took part in an attack in the Canal Du Nord area in which he conducted himself with remarkable bravery and professionalism. The citation for his M.C. reads: T./Lt. (A./Capt.) John Alford Cheston, 24th Bn., R. Fus. During the attack on the strongly held enemy system about the Canal du Nord on the 11th and 12th September, 1918, he led his company deep into the hostile trenches, overcoming a fierce resistance and accounting for numbers of the enemy, besides taking many prisoners. In the heavy bombardment of a counter-attack, he moved his men from the main trench to forward shell holes, thereby saving many lives as the trench was obliterated. His courage and leadership could be depended upon in any emergency. The Battalion diary records that it was “in close support to the 52nd L.I. and 2nd H.L.I. which were attacking the Havrincourt projecting angle of the enemy’s line”, and that “the whole of the battn eventually went into action......and reached their objectives” Following the war the recipient returned to his profession, becoming the surveyor to the Bridewell and Bethlem Royal Hospital. He was notable for his altruism: his obituary observes that “For [the welfare of the men of his battalion] he felt a measure of responsibility which he was not prepared to delegate to any ex-soldiers’ society”, and records his work in organising battalion reunions.

10. The Second World War North-West Europe Military Cross group of five medals to Captain Alexander Watt Waddell, The Cameronians: M.C., George VI, reverse dated 1946 and privately engraved ‘CAPTAIN A.W. WADDELL. M.C. THE CAMERONIANS.’; 1939-45 Star; France and Germany Star; Defence Medal; War Medal 1939-45; mounted for wearing; together with the case and transmission slip for the M.C., and a corresponding group of mounted miniatures, medals good very fine or better. £600-900 M.C. London Gazette 24/01/46 ‘in recognition of gallant and distinguished services in North West Europe’ The recipient studied at the Glasgow Academy (1919-28), and according to their Roll of Honour his military service commenced in the Royal Artillery. He was made 2nd Lieutenant from a Cadet 9th August 1941. He joined the 9th Bn Cameronians 22nd July 1944 and was wounded in the ankle on the 30th October. The recommendation for his M.C. continues: In the action in which Capt. Waddell was wounded he refused to leave his platoon until he had seen them on to their objective, consolidated, and administered with food and reserve ammunition, despite having a piece of shrapnel in his ankle and despite being ordered by his company commander to be evacuated to the Regimental Aid Post for treatment. His platoon in this action received severe casualties and Capt Waddell was left with barely two sections during the period of consolidation, and after he had been wounded the platoon area was long subjected to accurate and sustained enemy shell and mortar fire, but Capt Waddell’s cheerfulness, leadership and disregard for danger set an example which resulted in the company successfully holding their hard-won ground. On the 15th February, 1945, “D” Company was approaching a FUP preparatory to launching an attack through closely wooded country in the MOYLAND area against considerable numbers of enemy. The line of march was very heavily shelled. Communications had temporarily broken down by both wireless and runner (all wounded) and his company commander ordered Capt Waddell to proceed with his platoon, plus one section of another platoon, into the attack. It was vital for the further commitments of the battalion and the artillery programme that the company gained the support of the artillery over the Start Line. This Capt Waddell did, and although the Start Line was under direct small arms and automatic fire from three directions he succeeded in destroying and capturing three Spandau posts before he was halted through casualties, lack of fire power and personnel. Capt Waddell shewed extreme courage and a very high standard of leadership under the most difficult circumstances. Capt Waddell has shewn himself to be a fearless leader - his unfailing cheerfulness in dangerous situations and his disregard for danger has done much to maintain a high standard of morale in the company. He has at all times shewn courage and leadership of a high order which has been a constant source of inspiration to the men under his command.

11. The Great War Distinguished Conduct Medal to Lance Corporal John Thomas Quine, Manchester Regiment, D.C.M., George V (16248 PTE-L.CPL - J.T. QUINE. 1/8 MANCH: R.), good very fine or better. £600-800 D.C.M. London Gazette 03/09/18. “For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty in action. When the N.C.Os. of his platoon became casualties he at once took charge and carried out all duties with his platoon most efficiently. On several occasions he led vigorous and active patrols, securing valuable information as to the dispositions of the enemy. Throughout the operations he showed great initiative and courage.” The recipient was a married farmer from Andreas on the Isle of Man, who enlisted at Douglas on Wednesday 6th January 1915. He appears initially to have served with the 12th Battalion of his Regiment, entering France 16th July 1915, but he won his D.C.M. with the 1/8 Battalion near Gomicourt 25th-28th March 1918. 11
12. A part Great War Military Medal group of two medals to Donald Oscar Lance Robertson, Easy Surrey Regiment: M.M., George V (422 SJT: D.O.L. ROBERTSON. 9/E.SURR:R.); 1914-15 Star (4422 CPL D.O.L. ROBERTSON. E.SURR:R.), good very fine or better. £350-450 M.M. London Gazette: 11/05/17 The recipient entered France 31/08/15, and was discharged to commission (2nd Lieutenant Wiltshire Regiment) 12/11/18. The schedule number for his M.M. is 72,471 which indicates a probable period for his act of March and April 1917*. The battalion diary indicates minor actions during this period in the line at Calonne. The most notable occurrence was during the 13th and 14th of April when, following notification from 72nd Brigade HQ that there was “every reason to believe that the enemy had retired from our front” the battalion sent out “fighting patrols” which successfully occupied the enemy trenches, and was later congratulated by the Division for their competence in carrying this out. *Ref: Williamson

13. The Military Medal and Imperial Service Medal to Sapper Frank Clements, Royal Engineers: M.M., George V (71509 SAPR F. CLEMENTS. 16/D.S. COY R.E.), extremely fine and attractively toned; I.S.M., 2nd type, Elizabeth II, cased and with card outer box (FRANK CLEMENT M.M.), extremely fine or nearly so; together with an apparently contemporary typed copy of the M.M. citation. £200-300 Sapper Clements performed his M.M. act while attached to the H.Q., 180th Brigade R.F.A.: “For Laying a line during a heavy gas bombardment on the morning of the 21st March, 1918, at RONSSOY when all other communications had failed. Between March 21st. and 25th., this linesman was continually under heavy shell fire keeping through communications.” 13

14. The Great War Military Medal to fatal casualty Corporal Ernest Middleton, Manchester Regiment; M.M., George V (12145 PTE E. MIDDLETON. 19 / MANCH:R.), £300-400 good very fine. M.M. Gazette: 16/11/16. Recipient entered France 8th November 1915. The Gazette in which his M.M. appears is that in which many awards for the Battle of the Somme are recorded, and it’s schedule number precedes those for men who are known to have been decorated for acts on the first day of the battle. Medal rolls confirms that he served with the 19th and the 2/9th Battalions of his Regiment. The former was disbanded on the 6th February 1918 at which time it appears that he was posted to the 2/9th, though the majority of his battalion went to the 16th and 17th. After 13 days his new unit was absorbed by the 1/9th and together they became the 9th Battalion. His medal index card is endorsed ‘Death Assumed 21-31/3/18’, and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission records him as having died on the 21st, and being commemorated at the Poiziers Memorial. The unit diary for the 9th Battalion indicates a heavy gas bombardment on that day. Ref: Williamson. 14

Captain W Hall and Chief Officer G Atkinson of the ss Teessider of Stockton for the rescue of the crew of the schooner Gauntlet of Lancaster. The Gauntlet was caught in very bad weather off Flamborough Head on November 19th, there was a very rough sea running, with a strong southeasterly wind blowing at gale force. Two of her masts were carried away, and as the schooner was leaking badly, distress signals were made in the early morning of November 20th, and these were answered by the Teessider, which stood by from 3am until daylight. Owing to the state of the sea and the strong wind blowing, it was found impossible to man a lifeboat from the Teessider. This vessel, however, was twice manoeuvred close to the Gauntlet, when lines with lifebuoys attached were got on board, but the crew, owing to their long exposure, were unable to secure these lines. After about two hours’ manoeuvring, the Teessider was brought into a favourable position to the weather side of the schooner, when a jolly boat attached to a line was drifted down to the Gauntlet. The Master and the three members of the crew were then able to get into this boat, which was hauled back to the Teessider, and the rescued men got safely on board.
17. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Life Saving Medal to W. J. Huskie, in silver (W.J. HUSKIE - 1935), cased, suspension pushed forward slightly causing dent to upper rim, otherwise about extremely fine. £150-250

19. A Military General Service Medal, renamed to Private William Taylor, 52nd Foot, 3 clasps: Busaco, Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz (WILLIAM TAYLOR 52ND FOOT), re-named in small plain capitals, some scratching to obverse, otherwise good very fine. £400-600
20. A Waterloo Medal, re-named to Corporal Thomas Donally 3rd Battalion 1st Foot Guards, replacement silver bar suspension (Corp Tho. Donally 3rd Batt. Grenad. Gds.), re-engraved in cursive script, near very fine. £200-300
This man was entitled to this combination.
This man was entitled to the medal, and the style of naming appear 19th Century, being very similar to that employed on the India General Service Medal 1854-95. It may be that this is a replacement obtained by the man himself.
22. A Punjab Medal to Corporal William Gardner, 61st Foot (WM GARDNER, 61ST FOOT.), officially impressed, clasp (Goojerat) has been cut away leaving just the rosettes, otherwise very fine, reverse better with attractive toning. £250-350

21. A Sutlej Medal, re-named to Corporal Christopher Bond 16th Lancers, Sobraon exergue, no clasp (C. BOND. CORPORAL 16TH LANCERS), engraved, much edge bruising, good fine. £100-150 This man was a bona fide member of the regiment but the medal roll indicates that he did not qualify for the medal, having been “Sick at Loodianha”. The style of naming appears near contemporary, and one might speculate that this medal was acquired and worn by the man himself.
24. A posthumous Crimea Medal to Sergeant William Dallison, 3rd Battalion Grenadier Guards, clasp: Sebastopol (SERJT W. DALLISON. GRENADIER GDS.), officially impressed, about very fine. lightly impressed. £150-250 It has not been possible to trace this man on a casualty roll, but his medal roll entry is endorsed ‘WO 19/12/56’, indicating that the medal was issued via the War Office to a next of kin. It may be supposed that he either died in battle, or of wounds or illness, possibly after leaving the theatre of war.

His letter touchingly includes the hope that his application should not prejudice his chances of post-war employment “as I am an only son and my mother a widow”. Following training in Canada and the UK he joined 90 Squadron at West Wickham in June 1943. This was during an period of intensive bombing of industrial targets in the Rhine/Ruhr area (a phase of the war best remembered for Operation Chastise, the ‘Dambuster’ raid). As the pilot of a Short Stirling Bomber he undertook six raids before taking off for an operation over Cologne on 3rd July. This was the last time he was seen alive.

EXHIBITS FROM THE MELCHET COURT PRIVATE MUSEUM OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR Melchet Court in Hampshire is an estate with a rich and varied history, home at times to a number of prominent aristocrats, philanthropists and industrialists. During the First World War Lady Mond, (later Baroness Melchett), opened the house as a military convalescent hospital for commissioned officers. Until recently it has also been home to a small private museum of Great War exhibits. The founder and curator brought the objects together over many years and created a thought provoking and educational display. Utilising contemporary, later original and reproduction items (the latter category including a detailed model of a Lewis Gun which he himself built from scratch), he presented the material in a thoroughly rational arrangement that not only appealed to the eye; but also allowed for easy assimilation of the historical information that he wished to convey. At the closing of the museum, we present the following lots:
97. A King’s or Queen’s Commendation Badge for Valuable Services in the Air, silver badge for civilians (1942-93), ‘FOR VALUABLE SERVICE’ above raised wings surmounted by a crown, reverse marked ‘R.D. 847363 / SILVER’. £80-120

304. Of privateering interest: a scarce Georgian letter of marque and associated bill of sale for the armed sloop Betsey: Vellum Bill of Sale: dated 29th July 1803, formalising the transfer of title to the Betsey from a syndicate of individuals in Devon and Cornwall to Hannibal Curnow Blewett of Guernsey, signed by each of the former parties and bearing their seals, witnessed verso and with confirmation of the receipt of £700 from Blewett. £1,500-2,000 Vellum Letter of Marque: dated 23rd June 1807, bearing blue stamp duty seal and the imprint of the Great Seal of the High Court of Admiralty on a separate piece of velum joined to the letter by a ribbon (wax seal missing), giving authority for the Captain Charles Chant “fitly qualified who hath equipped and victualled a Ship Called Betsey.......of about Sixty Tons, Foreign built...with eight carriage Guns carrying Shot of Four and [?] pounds weight...to set forth in a warlike Manner the said Ship called the Betsey.....and therewith by fforce of Arms to Apprehend, seize and take the Ships, Vefsels and Goods belonging to Batavian Republic” This passage is preceded by a an explanation of the circumstances in which George III, in 1803, issued a paramount authorisation that “general Reprisals be granted against the Ships, Goods and Subjects of the Batavian Republic so that as well our ffleets and Ships as also all other Ships and Vefsels that shall be commifsionated by Letter of Marque and general Reprisals....may lawfully apprehend, seize and take all Ships, Vessels and Goods belonging to the Batavian Republic....”. It is followed by details of the terms under which such ships as Chant might capture would be disposed of. The Treaty of Amiens, which had produced a brief interlude in the hostilities between Britain and France, broke down in May 1803. Among the forces aligned against Britain were those of the Batavian Republic - a client state of Napoleonic France. The Betsey appears originally to have been a French vessel, herself taken as a prize some time before 1796. She was lengthened in 1800, and bought by Blewett in 1807. The previous owners originated in the West Country villages of Rame and Maker - known for smuggling, and this invites speculation that the Betsey may have been used in such a connection. The Blewett name (present in the Letter of Marque in the persons of John Edwards and Merchant & Aaron Groub), is associated with a number of vessels that sailed under letters of marque. Under Captain Chant the Betsey seized the De Vrow Elizabeth, Twee Gezusters, Minerva and De Hoop. Research: Tony Pawlyn, National Maritime Museum, Plymouth.

305. Of privateering interest: “Articles of Agreement Between the Owner Commander Officers and Crew of the Private Ship of War Queenborough”, being a scarce Georgian privateering agreement comprised of four velum sheets bound together, the first three detailing in twenty articles the agreement between the owner Hannibal Curnow Blewett, and the “Master or Commander” John Davey and his crew, under the terms of which the cutter Queenborough was to sail “as a Ship of War for a Two Month Cruize [sic]”; the fourth bearing the signature or marks of the officers and crew and giving details of the distribution of prize monies; dated 12th July 1806. £1,500-2,000 This indenture establishes the obligations and entitlements of all parties involved. Principals established include Blewett’s right to oversee the disposal of the assets seized by the Queenborough, and the procedure for paying out the prize share of those who were killed or disabled in action. One rather progressive sounding clause states that “if any of the Cutter’s Company shall ever use Cruelty to any persons or Indecency to any woman or Girl taken in any Prize such person shall forfeit all his and their share...” The armed cutter Queenborough was a one the larger of H.C. Blewett’s private war ships, being 179 tons burthen by measurement and mounting twelve nine-pounder cannon. Under John Davey’s command she took numerous enemy vessels, singly or in cooperation with other privateers, the names of sixteen of which have been discovered by research.

LOT SYMBOLS VAT Lots marked with an dagger (†) are subject to VAT on the hammer price. Lots marked with an omega ( ) 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 may be subject to CITES Regulations when exported. The CITES Regulations may be found at www.defra.gov.uk/ahvla-en/imports-exports/cites/
ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT / DROIT DE SUITE Lots marked with a ‡ 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 firearms or shotguns, are subject to the UK firearm/shotgun licencing regime, and may only be viewed and/or purchased by individuals with appropriate certification (Firearm Certificate, Shotgun Certificate or RFD authority).

The lot or lots in question will remain in the keeping the auctioneers to be re-offered in a future auction, and the proceeds (less vendor’s commission, other charges and tax) remitted to the original successful bidder.

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 25% plus VAT @20% (totalling 30% inclusive) on the first £500,000 and 12% plus VAT @20% (14.4% 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 ( ) 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 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).
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. 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 re-offered at a future sale. Where in our opinion an item is
WW102-544 Listing.qxp_Layout 1 26/10/2018 15:20 Page 99
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.

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 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 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 10,000
