Acknowledgements Old Battersea House has a remarkable history, extending over four centuries, and as every auctioneer knows the sale of the contents of such a special place brings pleasure and challenges in equal measure. The pleasures are apparent from the catalogue that you have in your hands. The challenges of cataloguing such a collection became a pleasure once we were exposed to the extraordinary scholarship of Mr Christopher 'Kip' Forbes, whose vision and enthusiasm have formed this collection. Together with his curatorial team in New York, namely Bonnie Kirschstein and Elizabeth Marwell, who made their extensive and comprehensive archive of the collection available to us, we have found the whole process a both fascinating and rewarding.
Over the years the famous Forbes hospitality was warmly extended to guests by Trish McCaldin, whose excellent cuisine we have much enjoyed, and her amanuensis Dee Marks, with her inexhaustable teapot and biscuit tin! A special mention in despatches must be extended to Simon Edsor at The Fine Art Society, who has curated the contents of the house from the beginning. His scholarship and knowledge of the Collection and his infinite patience with the myriad demands placed upon him by Lyon & Turnbull throughout the creation of this catalogue have been invaluable. Paul Roberts, Vice-Chairman, Lyon & Turnbull, September 2011

Reminiscences of a Curator
F
and occasional truck driver, valuer, adviser, friend and much more.
The wonderful relationship with the Forbes family, only two generations then, resulted in that young man by turns becoming installer, auction agent, conservation consultant, tour guide, shipping agent
The indescribable pleasure of vicariously helping to create a collection over several decades, to have some influence and considerable hands-on involvement, to see and to oversee the changes, to manage acquisitions and (thank you Thomas Hoving) de-acquisitions, and to be paid to do this, cannot be explained to someone who has never experienced it. And unless your profession brings you into contact with people who contract a grand and never-ending passion for things: be it art, books, wine, houses or even (heaven forbid) horses, you are unlikely ever to
ORTY YEARS AGO a young man was despatched to hang some paintings for an American client in his newly restored William & Mary home in, of all places, Battersea. Some of the pictures being large, the young man's supplies limited, and builders still present, one particular work was hung on 6 inch nails driven into 17th century panelling, remaining thus supported for a decade. Forty years on a much older man is still embarrassed by that memory.

encounter this particular pleasure, and I feel sorry for you. The Forbes family have always believed in sharing their collections and their houses. Times without number exhibitions of thirty, forty or more paintings would travel the world giving enjoyment and learning to others. This consequently gave rise to wholesale changes about the house: when thirty pictures leave, then perhaps two hundred move around like musical chairs. Then, when the travellers returned, they would encounter new friends that had been acquired during their long absences, and the process would begin all over again. As the fame of the Collection, and of the House, spread more and more, organisations and groups would ask to see them. Again, with natural generosity, the family would agree; sometimes groups of eighty or more would be greeted several times a week by a multi-tasking wine waiter, architectural historian, aesthetic guide and fantasist, ghost hunter and purveyor of gossip, and occasional bore who would then spot the Administrator, the wonderful Trish McCaldin who won’t thank me for recording that she has run the House for as long as I have been caring for the Collection, in the back of the throng furiously pointing at her watch! Like all worthwhile collections, with all their diversions and occasional cul-de-sacs, nothing like Old Battersea House can be created quickly with just the battering ram of wealth. The keen eye with which the late Malcolm Forbes and his son Christopher have guided the House and the Collection through forty years has, in my experience, been unparalleled no Croesus could have done better. It requires a single-minded obsessiveness and a willingness to take chances, to stretch occasionally limited resources, to know when to take advice and when to ignore it (mine) but most of all, to trust your own instincts.
It is nearly impossible to light upon personal favourites among so many wonderful things: as an icon I should record that now-well-known image by Charles Burton Barber of the widowed Queen Victoria seated on her patient pony and attended by the faithful John Brown before Balmoral Castle; a historical footnote of the greatest interest now spread widely through the agency of Dame Judi Dench and Billy Connolly. And from all the small jewels I have to remark upon the lovely little Abraham Solomon painting of The Lion in Love - a finished sketch for a painting of an elderly general apparently wooing a young woman, that was a cause célèbre in 1862 when the respected Art Journal suggested that “we candidly admit our regret seeing this picture, and still more … circulated over the country!” That young man has, extraordinarily, become a pensioner, so you could say that this sale comes at an appropriate time. A time when we should think a little less of ourselves, and rather more of our families and grandchildren, it is a fine impetus for such a grand event. But I will miss it all: every room, every picture, sculpture, object and stick of furniture. The champagne, the vodka and grapefruit juice, the dinners, the company of old friends, the music and dancing. But the pleasure that others will take from all this in the future should be recompense enough for Kip Forbes, for the shade of his Father and for me. Simon Edsor, Battersea October 2011.

Lot 147: SIR GEORGE HAYTER (BRITISH 1792-1871) Full Length Portrait of Queen Victoria in Coronation Robes Oil on canvas
The Cult of Queen Victoria ''She has been a very great woman. Just think of it: she remembers George III, and now we are in the Twentieth Century [‌] I have never been with her without feeling that she was in every sense my Grandmama and made her love me as such. And yet the minute we began to talk about political things she made me feel we were equals and could speak as Sovereigns. Nobody had such power as she.� 1
T
HUS SPOKE Kaiser Wilhelm II upon the death of the woman who was not only the grandmother who had died in the German Emperor's arms, but also, as Queen of the United Kingdom, and later Empress of India, head of state to millions of subjects in an Empire spanning the globe. Reigning for sixty-three years and seven months, she is to date Britain's longest-serving monarch, having ascended the throne at the age of just eighteen, and would, during the course of her long life, embody the continuity of history to a country experiencing profound technological, socioeconomic, and political change. These seismic shifts in society would see, by the end of her reign and that of her immediate successors, the gradual erosion of the real power of the monarchy. Conversely, however, the coming of the railway age and the growth of methods of mass communication would ensure that Victoria, her image perpetuated among her many subjects, would end her reign beloved and respected as few monarchs before or since have been.
The strength of the Forbes Collection lies in its breadth, representing every aspect of this multifaceted monarch, from the carefully controlled official images commemorating key moments in her reign, such as her coronation, marriage, and lying in state, to objects which provide a more intimate insight into the life of Victoria and her family, from her (very intimate!) personal effects, to her own artistic endeavours and those of her young children. Originally an offshoot of Christopher

Lot 204: HENRY CAMPOTOSTO (BELGIAN 1833-1910) The Apotheosis of Queen Victoria Signed oil on panel
Forbes' passion for great nineteenth-century narrative painting, this collection of royal ephemera was at first confined to the north-west bedroom of Old Battersea House (thereafter known as the 'State Room'), but, as with all collections, would gradually expand throughout the house, commemorating not only 'the Grandmother of Europe', but also those descendants who, through her careful management of dynastic ties through marriage, would populate the ruling houses of Europe, and play critical roles in the course of the brutal century that followed her death.

The Forbes Collection at Old Battersea House
The Royal Portrait From Elizabeth I's usurpation of the cult of the Virgin Mary, to Louis XIV's Apollonian persona of the Sun-King, the royal portrait has for centuries served not only to preserve the likeness of the monarch for posterity, but also as a symbolic representation of, and tool to perpetuate, their political power. A wise monarch would carefully control the dissemination of their image, approving official portraits which would serve as prototypes for the many copies demanded by subjects keen to display their loyalty to the throne by proudly displaying their likeness in picture-galleries throughout the land. As a monarch, Queen Victoria was no exception to this policy, as her diaries and letters attest, taking a keen interest in the composition and execution of her portraits. Yet technological innovations, such as the
invention of steel-engraving, photography, and the growth of daily, affordable newspapers ensured that her image could be shared not only with foreign monarchs and wealthy courtiers in the form of pictorial reproductions in oil, but also with the nation as a whole though engravings, such as the extremely popular coronation portrait by Alfred Edward Chalon (such was the effectiveness of this image that it was chosen as the model for the Queen's image on postage-stamps throughout her Empire, which became popularly known as 'Chalons'). In addition to being the first truly visually accessible monarch, through her official portraits and also literary publications, Victoria also indelibly altered the image of the British monarchy from that of her aloof and aristocratic forebears, to a more popular, familyorientated and morally upright middle-class image in keeping with the growing importance of the bourgeoisie in British society. Portraits of the Queen and her children would serve not only to stress the dynastic strength of the monarchy, but also cast her in the role of mother to the nation as a whole. Similarly, while joint portraits with her consort Prince Albert were careful to observe her precedence as a ruling monarch, the image of Victoria as faithful spouse also served as an example to her subjects (in direct contrast to the scandal generated by the life of her less respectable, and infinitely less popular predecessor, George IV). Key to Victoria's success as an image-maker was her ability, however, to adapt a representational vocabulary in keeping with the existing traditions of the diverse components of her Empire. In Scotland, for example, she and her consort, Prince Albert, would adopt highland dress, and she was careful to emphasise her descent from both her Stuart and Hanoverian ancestors, while in India representations of the monarch would respond to local identifications of royal power with regal splendour, as in her imposing monument in Bombay.

Alongside the official image of the monarch in the works of Hayter, Chalon, and Winterhalter, the Collection also offers a more personal insight into the life of this

extraordinary sovereign. While posterity has ensured that the most enduring image of the queen is that of a serious, mature monarch (as in Baron von Angeli's representation), Haydon's portrayal of the barefoot Victoria and her husband Albert as highland lovers offers a less formal glimpse into an intense and enduring love affair which would in later life develop into the obsession of grief, while Charles Burton Barber's portrait of Queen Victoria and her loyal servant John Brown celebrates a friendship whose exact nature continues to fascinate and intrigue. In addition to her awareness of the political potential of art, Victoria was a keen collector and artist. A touching commission from Landseer (an artist favoured for his ability not only as a painter of animals, but also in capturing a relaxed likeness of the Queen and her family) is the group study of her favourite pets, the dogs Hector, Nero, and Dash, and parrot Lory, perfectly capturing the distinct personality of each, while a further insight into Victoria's personal artistic interests is offered by her copy of Philipp von Foltz's Tyrolese Woman and Child, executed with her husband, Prince Albert. It is a moving symbol of the shared passion and collaboration of their marriage, tragically brought to a close with the latter's untimely death at the age of fortytwo. Victoria's artistic talents were nurtured from the early age of eight, under the tutelage of William Westall, and later George Hayter. As Queen, she would seize the opportunity presented by portrait and other commissions to study with the great masters whose work she admired, including Sir Edwin Landseer, Edward Lear and Franz Xaver Winterhalter. As she became a mother, Victoria took pains to ensure that her children also received an artistic education, and her talents were inherited and exceeded by her eldest daughter Victoria, the Princess Royal (later Empress of Germany), who studied under Edward Corbould between 1852 and 1858, when she married Prince Frederick William of Prussia. Unfortunately, political differences ensured that relations with her eldest son, Wilhelm, were often strained, yet throughout her life she remained an enthusiastic artist and patron of the arts.
Lot 208 QUEEN VICTORIA (BRITISH 1819-1901) AND PRINCE ALBERT (GERMAN/BRITISH 1819-1861) AFTER PHILIPP VON FOLTZ Tyrolese Woman and Child Oil on canvas
While her immediate successor, Edward VII, would return to a formal, authoritative prototype in his coronation portrait, Victoria had, by offering an insight into the life of the Royal Family, begun an irreversible process which would gather momentum throughout the twentieth century, during which the real political power of the monarchy may have waned and opinions divided, yet our enduring fascination remains. Both as symbols of historical continuity and individuals of real passions and absorbing lives, the lasting influence that Victoria and her descendants exert on our imagination is attested to by the success of recent films and works of literature, and as a private collection the works of Old Battersea House and the Forbes Collection offer a rare opportunity to experience and understand both the public and private facets of a great monarch, and a defining epoch in world history.

George Richards Elkington and Henry Elkington were the originators of silver-plating and by the 1830s they had patented the processes. The Directory of Gold and Silversmiths states that “Elkington Electroplate was soon accepted with the result that the firm allowed a number of manufacturers to use the technique under licence.” In 1868, Queen Victoria permitted much of the royal plate to be copied by Elkington’s and after that a convention was entered into by noble families in Britain and Europe whereby they agreed to allow the company to copy objects in their possession.

18 FB700/138 BENJAMIN ROBERT HAYDON (BRITISH 1786-1846) QUEEN VICTORIA AND PRINCE ALBERT AS HIGHLAND LOVERS Oil on canvas 180cm x 142cm (70.9in x 55.9in) Provenance: Parke-Bernet, October 12, 1978, lot 133.
Note Known almost as well for his diary and autobiography (key testimonies in the development of English Romanticism) as for his epic historical paintings, Benjamin Robert Haydon's was a life rich in artistic triumph and personal tragedy. A self-styled 'genius' in the Romantic tradition, despite the early success of works exhibited at the Royal Academy (where he undertook his artistic training), he became embroiled in a life-long feud with the institution, into whose ranks he was never admitted. From 1808 Haydon became fascinated with the Elgin Marbles, and adopted their epic scale in his art, working exclusively on a single painting for six years to the exclusion of all other commissions, and his own impoverishment. The present work, while perhaps less grandiose in scale, combines a
28
sense of the historical with a personal, romantic view of the individual. In it we find an artist's imaginative vision of the head of state of a nation and her consort, their union and dynasty key to the continuing prosperity of their realm not, however, in their robes of state, but in the simple guise of highland lovers. Reminiscent of the novels of Sir Walter Scott, whom both Victoria and Albert admired as children, the painting reminds us of the great passion which existed not only between the young Victoria and her husband (a marriage brought to a tragically early close by the latter's premature death), but also that which the couple held for Scotland, which would endure far beyond their first visit in 1842.

(BRITISH 1827-1910) PORTRAIT STUDY OF MISS ISABELLA WAUGH Oil on canvas, inscribed on torn label on stretcher at a later date by Edith Holman Hunt: '[Fo]r Slubby with [lo]ve from Edith H[olman Hunt] Study of […] by W H[olman Hunt] made […] Campden […]' 55cm x 35cm (21.75in x 13.75in) Note: Judith Bronkhurst has suggested that the facial resemblance between the sitter and Hunt's portraits of his motherin-law, first and second wives and brother-in-law suggests that this is a likeness of a Waugh sister, probably Isabella, born in 1843. The mention of 'Campden' on the label on the stretcher may indicate that the work was painted between March and August 1866, when Hunt and his first wife were living at 1 Tor Villa, Campden Hill. Provenance: Given by Edith Holman Hunt to Sir John Macdonell, KCB ('Slubby' in inscription). To his wife, Dame Agnes Macdonell, 1921. To her daughter, Margaret Adler, 1925. To her niece, Imogen Pilch, by 1957. Christie's, London, 14 July 1972, lot 9. Christie's, London, 5 March 1993, lot 102. Lord Lloyd Webber Collection.

Note: The Broadwood Piano Co records state that this piano was finished by 12th March 1904 and delivered to Hitchingbrooke on 29th March of the same year. Ashbee's deliberately unconventional style around this time particularly focused on his designs for pianos. Both his wife and his mother were talented pianists and besides, 'artists and architects of advanced tastes had been interested in reforming the design of piano cases for some time'. Burne-Jones with W.A.S. Benson had produced a design in 1879 which replaced the deep curves and massive legs of the high Victorian era with a treatment closer to late 18th century harpsichords and these 'Reformed' or 'Artistic' forms provoked 'steady interest' from then onwards. Ashbee's first design was for his wife Janet in 1900 and was 'shocking' in its subversion of convention. As in the present example the cabinet work was carried out by Broadwood & Co. and the heavy cast hinges were made by
the Guild of Handicrafts. The form was square and reflected the piano forms of the late 18th century but with hinged doors to the front. This example, produced four years later retains many of the features of this original design with the case enclosing the more usual grand piano frame. These 'specials', as they were known at Broadwoods, were made to commission and were bespoke for each client. Examples of Broadwood pianos designed by Ashbee are in the collections of the Huntingdon Library, Pasadena, Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum and Standen House, Surrrey.

256 FB700/364 PETER TURNERELLI (IRISH 1774-1839) BUST OF PRINCESS CHARLOTTE Marble, signed and dated 1817 51cm (20.1in) high Note: Peter Turnerelli was an Irish-born sculptor of Italian origin who studied under Peter Francis Chenu and joined the Royal Academy schools. From 1797 to 1800 he taught modelling to the daughters of George III and was subsequently Sculptor-in-Ordinary to the Royal Family. Princess Charlotte, the only child of George IV and Caroline of Brunswick, died in 1817 at the age of 21 after giving birth to a stillborn son. Her death precipitated the change in the line of succession eventually leading to Princess Victoria’s ascension in 1836. The date on the piece most likely indicates it was executed by Turnerelli as a memorial.

The fight to save Old Battersea was led by Col. Charles G. Stirling and his wife, Wilhelmina, who, after an Act of Parliament, succeeded in saving the house and moved in themselves in 1931, renting it from the Council. The Stirlings arrived with a large collection of paintings by Mrs. Stirling’s sister, Evelyn De Morgan, together with a collection of ceramics by Evelyn’s husband, William De Morgan, and furniture from the circle of William Morris, as well as good Jacobean furniture. Mrs. Stirling lived at Old Battersea House until her death in 1965, just short of her 100th birthday. Before her death she formed the De Morgan Foundation, to which she bequeathed her collection. It is today on view at West Hill Library in Wandsworth.

Mackintosh Room 470 FB700/340 PAINTED BEDROOM SUITE DESIGNED BY WENMAN JOSEPH BASSETT-LOWKE AFTER CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH, CIRCA 1918 each piece painted in black and white with geometric panelling and with ebonised handles and mounts, and comprising: a PAIR OF SIDE CHAIRS; a DOUBLE BEDSTEAD with solid headboard and footboard, 138cm (54.3in) wide, 106cm (41.7in) high, 204cm (80.3in) deep; a BEDSIDE CABINET with single door, 46cm (18.1in) wide, 105cm (41.3in) high, 39cm (15.4in) deep; a DRESSING CHEST of two short and three long drawers, 76cm (29.9in) wide, 136cm (53.5in) high, 38cm (15in) deep; and a LATER SIX DOOR SIDE CABINET, 284cm (111.8in) wide, 94cm (37in) high, 41cm (16.1in) deep (6) Literature: Billcliffe, Roger, 'Charles Rennie Mackintosh: The Complete Furniture Drawings & Interior Designs', Moffatt 2009, pp. 300-304, illus. 1918. Note: Mr. W.J. Bassett Loake, a manufacturer of scale models, acquired two cottages at Roade near Northampton in 1914 with the intention of converting them back into one house. He employed the architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh to design the dining room furniture and decorations for this new project. Bassett Loake had been recommended to Mackintosh through a friend whilst on holiday in Cornwall and made contact with him around 1915. He was a demanding client, knowledgeable in the field of contemporary design and unafraid to criticise the strict aesthetic of the architect's proposals. Indeed he also designed furniture and decorations himself, as in the present lot. The commission for Candida Cottage followed the more complete scheme for Bassett Loake's house at 78 Derngate, Northampton which anticipated design in Europe in the next decade and surely must have influenced Bassett Loake in his subsequent designs for Candida Cottage.

STANDARD TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE Lyon & Turnbull carries on business with bidders, buyers and all those present in the auction room prior to, or in connection, with a sale on the following General Conditions and on such other terms, conditions and notices as may be referred to herein. 1. DEFINITIONS In these Conditions: (a) “Auctioneer” means the firm of Lyon & Turnbull 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 Lyon & Turnbull 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;
Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with an asterisk (*) or dagger (†). 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. 6. PAYMENT (1) Immediately a lot is sold you will: (a) pay to us the total amount due in cash or in such other way as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), Switch or Debit Cards and Visa or MasterCard (please note there is a surcharge of 1.5% (VAT included) when using credit cards). We do not accept American Express. (2) 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. 7. TITLE AND COLLECTION OF PURCHASES (1) The ownership of any lots purchased shall not pass to you until you have made payment in full to us of the total amount due. (2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than four working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment after which you shall be responsible for any removal, storage and other associated charges. (3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for.
(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;
(4) It is the buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main saleroom and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time.
(g) “You”, “Your”, etc. refer to the buyer as identified in Condition 2.
8. REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES
(h) The singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate.
(1) 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 their 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:
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, which must be raised before the next lot is offered, shall be settled at the auctioneer’s absolute discretion. (c) Bidders shall be deemed to act as principals. (d) Once made, no bid may be withdrawn. (e) 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. 3.

5. VALUE ADDED TAX
(a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to you; (c) 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). Any surplus so arising shall belong to the seller; (d) to remove, store and insure the lot at your expense and, in the case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere; (e) to charge interest at a rate of 1.5% per month above the current base rate on the total amount due, to the extent it remains unpaid for more than four working days after the sale; (f) to retain that or any other lot sold to you until you pay the total amount due; (g) to reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or to impose conditions before any such bids shall be accepted; (h) to apply any proceeds of sale of other lots due or in future becoming due to you towards the settlement of the total amount due and to exercise a lien (that is a right to
retain possession of) any of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt due is satisfied. (2) We shall, as agent for the seller and on their behalf pursue these rights and remedies only as far as is reasonable to make appropriate recovery in respect of breach of these Conditions 9. 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 While 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 shall if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer or our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so. 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
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 or our employees or agents or 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”. (2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation. 16. 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 seller warrants to the auctioneer and to 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.
The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.
12. AGENCY
GENERAL
The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by sellers or buyers.
17. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.
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. STANDARD VENDOR FEES AND CHARGES (Subject to VAT) (1) Commission: 15% of the first £3000 and 10% thereafter is charged on the selling price of each lot (subject to a minimum charge of £30). Loss and damage warranty: 1.5% on value of lots sold. Photography: max £40 mono per lot, max £250 colour. Internet Marketing Service: £10 per lot. (2) If a vendor wishes to withdraw a lot consigned for sale, a withdrawal fee will apply; this will be charged at 15% of the mid estimate with any photography charges incurred and all subject to VAT at the current rate. 15. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) While 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,
18 (1) 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. (2). 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. 19. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting. 20. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, paintings, guns, firearms etc) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary or guidance notes appearing in the catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. 21. 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. 22. Scottish law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
