THE SIR JEREMY LEVER COLLECTION Sir Jeremy Lever, KCMG, QC, MA, FRSA has spent his working life as both a practising and an academic lawyer. He was fortunate enough to gain a place as a scholar at University College, Oxford. Before going to Oxford he served as a National Service officers with African troops in Kenya at the time of the Mau Mau emergency. At Oxford he served as President of the Oxford Union Society before being elected, by Examination, a Fellow of All Souls College, of which he has remained a Fellow. He took Silk in England and Wales in 1972 and in Northern Ireland in 1988 and served as a Bencher of Gray's Inn until he reached the age of retirement. In 1977 he established Chambers in Brussels and for the following seven years practised as a Barrister primarily from there, mainly in the field of what is now European Union law. His knighthood was conferred for services in the field of Law. Largely because of his membership of the University of Oxford for more than 60 years past, Sir Jeremy has been fortunate enough to meet, and often to get to know well, many prominent figures, as well as many of the leading scholars of the day. While still an undergraduate, he invited the then Duke of Wellington to come to address an undergraduate audience about his recent trip, as leader of a Parliamentary delegation, to Moscow. Never having previously (or since) had occasion to address a Duke, Sir Jeremy, after consulting a book on etiquette began and ended his letter of invitation "Your Grace" and "I have the honour to be Your Grace's most humble and obedient servant". The Duke, when he came to Oxford was totally charming and put all concerned at their ease. It therefore seemed perhaps a little over the top to use the same formula as before in the thank you letter sent to him by Sir Jeremy. But, all having gone so well up to then, it seemed best to do so. The Duke's letter in reply began "My dear Jeremy, it would be standoffish to the point of rudeness were I by now to address you otherwise. Another bonus of Fellowship of All Souls was that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother used to come to lunch once a year. "When one was in conversation with her, she made you feel that you were the one person in the world that she then wanted to talk to." After downsizing three years ago we were fortunate to sell the first part of Sir Jeremy and his partner’s collection. Following a further move we are delighted to be offering the final part of their collection which has been formed over the last forty years. Items have been acquired from the top London salerooms and dealers and from trips abroad, including to Rome and Heidelberg. The collection is varied and has major strengths in Grand Tour items, including: a wonderful specimen marble table once belonging to Sir Dirk Bogarde (lot 382); Art Deco sculpture with stunning works by Bruno Zach and Edgar Brandt and French clocks, the highlight is a fine Directoire period marble portico clock by LÊpine. These lots and the rest of the collection can be identified in the catalogue with this symbol.

The Viscountess of Bertie of Thame Christie, Manson & Woods Ltd. Fine English and French Furniture, 12th May 1955, lot 95. Francis Leveson Bertie, 1st Viscount Bertie of Thame (1844-1919) was ambassador to France between 1905 and 1918 which probably explains how this commode came into the family’s possession. Jean Jacques Werner (1791-1849) was one of the most celebrated ébénistes of the Restauration period. He was born in Berne, the son of a timber merchant. Like many aspiring cabinet makers he travelled to Paris and by 1812 he had established himself in rue Saint-Dominique-Saint-Germain. He won silver medals at the expositions of 1819, 1823, 1827 and 1834, however, he failed to win a gold medal which disappointed him. Despite specific praise from King Louis XVIII Werner was left frustrated as up until 1823 the King had not made any purchases. This was to change under the reign of Charles X and he was also much appreciated to the French nobility most notably the Duchesse de Berry. His works can be found in the Musée de Château de Versailles , Musée des Arts Décoratifs and the Palais Leuchtenberg in Münich.

GRAND TOUR & SCULPTURE
376. A rare mid-18th century Italian Florentine Grand Tour scagliola table top by Don Pietro Belloni, the black ground decorated with a central pastoral landscape panel depicting figures, cows, a horse and sheep, with a river beyond with buildings, within a pierced and scrolled cartouche with a shell surmount, with scrolled shell and floral borders, with Commedia dell’arte figures in cartouches to the corners, signed and dated ‘Petro. Belloni. Vallumbrosa. A Florenta. F. Anno. D 1754’, with a three quarter moulded edge, 71.5 x 139.5cm, 5cm deep. £20,000-30,000 Provenance: Purchased by the vendor’s parents from Stair & Company Ltd. Successors to R. L. Harrington Ltd., 120 and 125 Mount Street, London, 19th May 1972. Don Pietro Belloni was a monk at the monastery of Vallombrosa near Florence and assistant to the abbot, Don Enrico Hugford. Enrico Hugford (1695-1771) was born in Florence, the son of a watch maker who emigrated to Italy to work for Cosimo III. He took orders in 1711 at the monastery of Santa Reparata in Marradi. Marradi was the site where selenite (a mineral essential for the working of scagliola) was quarried and it is here where the young Hugford learnt the technique of scagliola. According to John Fleming it was Hugford who ‘advanced scagliola from being merely a cheap and easily worked substitute for marble and mosaic to a medium of such refinement that landscapes and figures could be depicted in it’. Don Enrico’s work soon became much sought after by the English Grand Tourists of the day, especially large table tops to grace their country houses. In 1742 Sir Horace Mann paid Hugford 25 zecchins for a table top which he gave to Horace Walpole. Under Hugford’s tutelage Belloni also began to produce scagliola slabs to satisfy the demand from the ‘English milords’ and his work is much better documented. The present lot fits into a group of table tops supplied to a small coterie of Anglo-Irish Grand Tourists who were in Rome in the middle of the 18th century. This group of friends comprised Joseph Leeson of Russborough House, Wicklow, Matthew Fetherstonhaugh of Uppark, West Sussex, Ralph Howard of Shelton Abbey, Wicklow and Robert Clements of Killadoon. Their similar tastes are indicated by the fact whilst in Rome they all had their portraits painted by Pompeo Batoni and they had commissioned landscape paintings by Claude Joseph Vernet. The table tops are all of a similar design, with a central landscape panel after painters such as Visentini and Locatelli, within a cartouche with floral and shell borders, some decorated with fruit, others with animals and commedia dell’arte figures. A pair was supplied to Joseph Leeson of Russborough, Co. Wicklow in 1750. They are mentioned in correspondence between Sir Horace Mann (the English minister in Florence) and Horace Walpole on the 11th June 1747. ‘Here is a scholar of his (Hugford) but vastly inferior to him and so slow in working that he has been almost three years about a pair for a Mr Leson and requires six months more.’ While Belloni may have been criticised by Mann as being ‘inferior’ to Enrico Hugford, and for his slowness, the table tops he produced for Leeson and his friends are examples of the scagliola technique at its finest. According to Jonathan Cook in his article ‘Masters of the Art of Scagliola’, these remarks with regards to Belloni were unjust and ‘to judge from his surviving work his technical abilities and decorative style was of a parity with his master’. Another pair, dated ‘1750’, was supplied to Ralph Howard for his house, Shelton Abbey, and a pair dated ‘1754’ were commissioned by Sir Matthew Fetherstonhaugh for his house, Uppark, in Sussex. It is surprising that no tables are known for Robert Clements, later 1st Earl of Leitrim, and there is a distinct possibility that this present lot could well be a missing table top commissioned by Clements. The date is the same as the Uppark pair and the decoration is very similar to the Leeson tables, now in the National Gallery, Dublin, Ireland. Other related tables include a pair previously at Adare Manor, Co. Limerick probably made for Thomas Dawson, Viscount Cremorne, and a pair of tables bearing the arms of the 1st Viscount Fane on elaborate giltwood bases exhibited at Dreweatt Neate ‘Hidden Treasures, A loan exhibition’, 25th November-2nd December 1997.

Bonhams, Fine English & Continental Furniture & Works of Art, 12th July 2005, lot 227. The Collection of Sir Jeremy Lever. Sir Derek Jules Gaspard Ulric Niven van den Bogaerde (1921-1999), known professionally as Dirk Bogarde, was an English actor and writer. Initially a matinee idol, playing Simon Sparrow in ‘Doctor in the House’ (1954) he became Britain’s biggest box-office draw and favoured leading man. In the early 1960s he became frustrated with the studio system and beginning with Basil Dearden’s ‘Victim’ (1961) he embarked on a number of complex demanding roles which brought him creative satisfaction. He won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor for ‘The Servant’ (1963). Other notable film roles include: ‘Accident’ (1967), ‘Death in Venice’ (1971), ‘The Night Porter’ (1974) and ‘Despair’ (1976). In a second career he wrote seven best-selling volumes of memoirs and six novels. He was appointed a Knight Bachelor in 1992. It is not known for which of Bogarde’s houses this table was purchased but it is visible in photographs of Nore, his country house in Sussex, where he lived from 1962 to 1965. The table was then moved to all his subsequent homes, including his beloved Clermont, the Provencal former farmhouse where he lived from 1970 until 1986. Over the years that the table was in his possession many leading figures from the world of art and entertainment would have more than likely sat around it, including the likes of: Ingrid Bergman, Judy Garland, Vivien Leigh, Richard Attenborough, Charlotte Rampling and Elton John. Bogarde’s final visitor, on the eve of his sudden death in May 1999, was Lauren Bacall who came for tea at his London flat. It is fairly rare to have a specimen marble table top with a micromosaic centre but for a similar table top see Woolley & Wallis, 4th April 2018, lot 440, from the Collection of Dr. J. S. Gordon.

Provenance: By repute once the property of Laurence Olivier. Edmund Kean (1787-1833) was a celebrated British Shakespearean stage actor who performed in London, Belfast, New York, Quebec and Paris. Kean first appeared on stage at the age of four, as Cupid in the ballet Cymon. As a teenager he played at the York Theatre and the travelling Richardson’s Theatre. In 1814 he got his big break and signed a three year contract with the Drury Theatre. His opening role as Shylock was certainly popular with the audiences. Successive appearances as Richard III, Hamlet and MacBeth demonstrated his mastery of tragic emotion. In 1820 he appeared in New York for the first time to unequivocal success. His most powerful character was probably Sir Giles Overreach in Philip Massinger’s ‘A New Way to Pay Old Debts’. His performance caused the pit to rise en-masse. He died in Surrey in 1833 and his last words were alleged to be ‘dying is easy, comedy is hard.’

601. A fine silk and silver metal thread ‘Salting group’ rug in Safavid style, with a floral central medallion on a burgundy ground, decorated with bands of clouds, Chinese style dragons and lions, with birds and scrolling leaves and flowers, with an ivory cartouche border, each panel inscribed with Persian verses, 193 x 132cm. £6,000-8,000 Provenance: Sir Edward George Warris Hulton (1906-1988) was a British magazine publisher and writer. He was the founder of the Picture Post which pioneered photo-journalism and in 1938 highlighted the plight of Germany’s Jews. The photographic archive of Picture Post became an important historical documentary resource. He was knighted for services to journalism in 1957. Hulton was married twice, first to Kira Goudime-Lekovitsch in 1927 and then later in 1946 to Princess Nike Yourievitch. This rug relates to the famous ‘Salting Carpet’, now in the V & A collection, and shares similarities in design. The ‘Salting Carpet’ was made during the Safavid period (1560-1580), probably in Qazwin, Iran and is inscribed with Persian poetry. In the mid-20th century scholars questioned the dating of this group of rugs and carpets and they believed them to be 19th century Turkish copies of Persian originals. But this theory has now been disproved. The ‘Salting Carpet’ group also relate to the famous niche prayer rugs in the Topkapi collection, Istanbul. For another example see The David Collection, Copenhagen. For a discussion of the ‘Salting group’ see: Dr. John Mills, ‘The Salting Group: A History and a Clarification’, in Murray L. Eiland and Robert Pinner (eds.), ‘The Salting Carpets, Oriental Carpet and Textile Studies’, 5/2, 1999, pp.1-17.

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 are subject to the UK firearms/shotgun licencing regime, and may only be viewed and/or purchased by individuals with appropriate licences.

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
WW102-549 Part Two.qxp_Layout 1 07/12/2018 14:19 Page 267
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.

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
