Estimates Estimates are printed below each lot and do not include the buyer’s premium. The sale will be conducted in pounds sterling. Dimensions Dimensions are for guidance only; it is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that they are correct. Buyer’s Premium The buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon. 25% up to £50,000 / 20% thereafter. VAT will be charged on the premium at the rate imposed by law. (see our Terms and Conditions of Sale). VAT The symbol † by a lot number indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate on the hammer price. The symbol * by a lot number indicates that the lot has been temporarily imported from outside the EU and that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the rate of 5% on the hammer price. No VAT is payable on the hammer price or premium for books bought at auction. Droit de Suite This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012, this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the buyer’s premium. It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale.
All royalty charges are paid to the appropriate collecting organisation and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale.

The Collection of Lady Lanesborough previously at Swithland Hall, Leicestershire The present Swithland Hall was built for George John Danvers-Butler, later 5th Earl of Lanesborough. Designed by the architect James Pennethorne, it was occupied by 1834, and finished by 1852. The house is built of stuccoed and painted granite and slate rubble and brick, with Swithland slate roofs concealed by a parapet. The house replaced an earlier house on the estate and T.R. Potter records in his History and Antiquities of Charnwood Forest of 1842: “The residence of the owners of Swithland was, till the present generation, situated near the Church. It was a considerable pile, but so surrounded on all sides, even in front, by stables, dovecotes and high walls, and so close to the public road, that the present proprietor has judiciously pulled it down, and erected on a higher ground a mansion more suited to the taste of the age.” The Earl of Lanesborough was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1756 for Humphrey Butler, 2nd Viscount Lanesborough. The Butler family descended from Theophilus Butler, who represented County Cavan and Belturbet in the Irish House of Commons. In 1715 Theophilus Butler was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Newtown-Butler, of the County of Fermanagh, and was succeeded by his brother, Brinsley, who became the second Baron. In 1728 Brinsley was created Viscount Lanesborough in the Peerage of Ireland and was, in turn, succeeded by his son, Humphrey, the aforementioned second Viscount, who was elevated to the earldom in 1728. The first Earl was succeeded by his son, Brinsley, who became the second Earl and represented County Cavan in the Irish House of Commons. His grandson George, the fifth Earl, sat in the British House of
Swithland Hall, Leicestershire, The Country Seats of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain, 1866, page 268
Lords as an Irish Representative Peer from 1849 to 1866. The latter was succeeded by his nephew, the sixth Earl. He served as Lord-Lieutenant of Cavan from 1876 to 1900 and was an Irish Representative Peer from 1870 to 1905. He was succeeded by his son, the seventh Earl. He was an Irish Representative Peer from 1913 to 1929. On his death the titles passed to his younger brother, the eighth Earl. The titles became extinct on the death of the latter’s eldest son, the ninth Earl, in 1998. Denis Anthony Brian Butler, the 9th Earl of Lanesborough took on the 3,000 acre estate, Swithland Hall in 1950. As well as the estate the earl inherited crippling death duties. These forced him to sell Swithland Hall, and many of the contents were sold at auction in 1978. The family title now survives mainly in the name of the Lanesborough Hotel off Hyde Park Corner, London, on the site of St George’s Hospital, itself based on the family home of the Irish Viscount Lanesborough which was sold in 1733.

Henry Bone (1755-1834) The son of a cabinet maker and carver, Henry Bone (17551834) was born in Cornwall in 1755. Appointed Enamel Painter to George III, the Prince of Wales (later George IV), and William IV, and a Royal Academy Member, he became famous for the skill and scale of his works, his copies after oil paintings gaining him the reputation as the ‘Prince of Enamellers’. Starting as an apprentice at the Plymouth Porcelain Works, he moved on to the Bristol China Works in 1772. Over the following six years Bone developed his talent, dedicating himself to china decoration and artistic studies. Upon the closure of the Bristol China Works in 1779, he moved to London and found employment decorating fans and watches before his first Royal Academy Exhibition in 1781. Following the exposure he gained from these exhibitions he decided to focus solely on enamel painting, a regular feature at the Royal Academy. He exhibited A Muse and Cupid in 1789, at the time the largest enamel painting ever executed. He later went on to surpass himself in 1811 with his most famous piece, a work after Titian’s Bacchus and Ariadne. Previous work in enamel had only been a few inches across, featuring in miniatures and jewellery. At the time the process involved bonding the enamel paint onto a metal sheet, usually copper, through a firing process. The firing would often last for several hours but as the colours would fuse at different temperatures, there was a risk that certain paints may crack and buckle while others were still setting. To reduce the risk of deformation artists would only enamel onto small pieces. Bone experimented with the firing process as well as with his enamel paint formulas and developed enamel paints that would fuse reliably within a narrow heat range and true to colour, enabling him to produce such large, high quality works. Henry Bone’s stature had grown so much that he received 4,000 visitors while exhibiting Bacchus and Adrianne at his house in Berners Street, eventually selling it for the large sum on 2200 guineas. It is now in the collection of the Cleveland
14
Museum of Art, who purchased it at auction in 2013 for £313,875. His next great projects included a series of eightyfive historical portraits of figures from the time of Elizabeth I, a series of Civil War cavaliers, and also a series of portraits of members of the Russell family. While the Elizabethan portraits were not a financial success for Bone they are considered among his greatest works. The following four portraits are prime examples of Bone’s prowess, skill and attention to detail. The portrait of Elizabeth Carey, later Lady Berkeley, is a cool study of Elizabethan composure, wealth and status. Bone’s original pencil grid sketch for this portrait (shown on the accompanying page) in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery illustrates his meticulous precision; while the extravagant portrait of a man wearing a white ostrich plume hat, originally believed to be Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester but now identified as possibly King Christian IV of Denmark or Edward Somerset, 4th Earl of Worcester, displays all the confidence and swagger of a gentleman at the top of his social and political world. Bone’s annotated grid sketch for this large and fantastic portrait, a copy of an original at Knole House, survives and is also in the collection of National Portrait Gallery and shown here. Suffering from failing eyesight and poor health, Bone offered to sell his collection of enamels to the nation but it was declined. After his death in 1834, it was dispersed and sold at auction by Christie’s in 1836. It is believed these four came into the collection of the 5th Earl of Lanesborough, who was furnishing Swithland Hall at this time. It is a rarity to have four of Henry Bone’s remarkable portraits available at one time and from one source.

24 SV254/26 HENRY BONE, R.A. (BRITISH, 1755-1834) ELIZABETH CAREY, DAUGHTER OF LORD HUNSDON, AFTERWARDS LADY BERKELEY enamel on copper, three quarter length portrait, in a black velvet dress with lace ruff collar and double strand pearl choker, and wearing a long triple strand gold chain, garnet and seed pearl necklace, in a gilt gesso frame, inscribed on the slip ‘ENAMEL H BONE, R.A.’, paper exhibition label to the reverse 18cm x 13.75cm Note: Elizabeth Carey (1576-1635) was the only child of George Carey, 2nd Baron Hunsdon and Elizabeth Spencer. She was a courtier and patroness of the Arts, and the dedicatee of works by Thomas Nashe. She married Sir Thomas Berkeley in 1596, aged 19, and after his death in 1611 remarried Sir Thomas Chamberland in 1622. Bone’s portrait is after the original at Berkeley Castle.

25 SV254/25 HENRY BONE, R.A. (BRITISH, 1755-1834) POSSIBLY KING CHRISTIAN IV OF DENMARK, OR HENRY SOMERSET, 1ST MARQUESS OF WORCESTER enamel on copper, three quarter length portrait standing by a table with a red cloth, the subject with a gold hoop earring, wearing a white satin doublet with lace collar and cuffs, a black cloak over his right shoulder, and black jewelled hat with white ostrich feathers, the Order of the Garter hanging on a blue satin ribbon around his neck and a sword at his waist, holding gloves in his right hand, signed, in a gilt and gesso frame 20cm x 16.5cm
£4,000-6,000
Note: The subject of this flamboyant portrait of a Jacobean gentleman remains a bit of a mystery. Copied from the original oil painting at Knole House by Bone in the early 19th century, it was believed at that time to be of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester. The handwritten label on the reverse, as well as those on the preparatory grid drawing now in the National Portrait Gallery of the same subject, indicate this. The original Knole oil portrait was attributed to Frederico Zucchero, a 16th century Italian Mannerist painter, who was commissioned by Dudley to paint portraits of himself and Elizabeth I. This attribution is now considered incorrect and the painter of the Knole portrait is currently listed as ‘unknown’ as is the identity of the subject.
Subsequent research now finds two other likely sitters for the portrait. The first is King Christian IV of Denmark, the other is Henry Somerset, 1st Marquess of Worcester. Both have portraits consistent with the Knole portrait but with some minor differences, in particular the fullness of the beard and the Cross of St George medal. It is a common occurrence that attributions from the 18th and 19th century have been changed or amended as more thorough research and comparisons with known portraits become available. Although Robert Dudley would have been a compelling subject for Henry Bone’s series of Elizabethan portraits, it is unlikely this portrait, magnificent as it is, can firmly be said to be him.

Coppinger Prichard Literature: Featured in The Dictionary of English Furniture, vol. I, Antique Collectors’ Club, Woodbridge, p.84 Note: The partnership of Messrs. Vile & Cobb was first listed in the London Directory in 1750 and continued with great success until 1765 when William Vile retired with John Cobb continuing to trade until 1778. William Vile is considered the principle cabinet maker of the two, while John Cobb was listed as an upholsterer. This arrangement was rather typical of the period for furniture makers. They are considered to be Thomas Chippendale’s greatest rivals and their work of the period is arguably some of the finest English made furniture produced in the mid 18th century. Favoured by George III and Queen Charlotte, a great deal of their work was by Royal commission. Although no published designs exist for the firm and they did not mark their furniture, known pieces produced by Vile & Cobb provide a visual guide to the characteristics they typically employed. Straddling the divide between the heavy architectural style of Palladianism as executed by William Kent in the 1730s and 40s and the lighter and more feminine Rococo style of Thomas Chippendale gaining popularity in the 1750s, Vile and Cobb produced furniture of the highest quality. A signature motif employed by Vile is the carved acanthus clad oval or circular moulding found on door panels, often flanked by further carved details like pendant fruit swags as seen on the present bookcase. A bookcase of similar proportion and outline illustrated in Anthony Coleridge, ‘Chippendale Furniture’, pl 33, and described ‘in the style of Vile’ is nearly identical to the present bookcase with the addition of more elaborate carved mouldings to the pediment and mullions. The present bookcase appears in Ralph Edwards ‘The Shorter Dictionary of English Furniture’, pg 53, pl 9 (see illustration) with no attribution or mention in the text with the exception of the caption accompanying the illustration stating it comes from the Coppinger Prichard Collection. It is believed the bookcase was purchased by the present owner’s family from Frank Partridge & Son from whom they purchased much of the furniture in the collection.

LXXI, for a design for a library bookcase which relates directly to this lot. The execution of the ‘Gothic’ astragal glazed doors on the upper bookcase and general outline of the lower cupboards closely follow Chippendale’s design, albeit with simplified moulded doors on the base. While the complete pediment and cornice is lacking on the present bookcase, it most likely would have had a broken arch pediment centred by the finial which still accompanies it, as seen on other designs in the ‘Director’.

Originally the cabinet would have had a fall front opening to reveal the elaborate inlay on the interior drawer fronts. For a comparable cabinet, see the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 25.135.112.

This subtle shift in placement permits the daybed to be flush and all four lions’ heads to be visible if it is placed against a wall.

John Steell, R.S.A.- Alexander and Bucephalus The son of an Edinburgh sculptor, Sir John Robert Steell(1804-1891) worked at the top of his profession, creating sculptures destined to be landmarks of his native city. A member of the Royal Scottish Academy and appointed sculptor to Queen Victoria, there is little Steell failed to achieve in his career. His statue of Sir Walter Scott for the Scott Monument on Prince’s Street, was the first marble statue ever commissioned in Scotland from a native artist. Beginning in his father’s shop age fourteen, he went on to study at the Edinburgh Life Academy and soon began independent sculptural projects. After travelling to study in Rome in 1829 he was overwhelmed with commissions on his return, mainly from wealthy residents requiring busts. Having established his reputation, he began work on
one of his finest and most famous sculpture, Alexander Taming Bucephalus. Commissioned by the North British Fire and Insurance Company, the piece was first carved in wood and displayed in London. This brought him the attention of not only a wider public but also influential patrons, and though he received numerous requests to stay in London, he was resolute about returning to Edinburgh. He was conscious of his responsibility to develop Scotland’s artistic character and his foundry was the first in Scotland to introduce artistic casting.
defining moments in Alexander the Great’s life. The legend tells of how an untamable horse was presented to King Phillip, Alexander’s father. After the king refused the beast, a twelve year old Alexander claimed that he could tame the horse. He took the reins and spoke softly to it, turning him to face the sun as he
realized Buchephalus was afraid of his own shadow. Through a lack of finances the statue’s journey from inception to realization would take over fifty years and Steel would only live for eight years after the large version was finally cast in 1883. The huge bronze was presented to the city of Edinburgh in 1884 and originally resided in St. Andrew Square until it was moved to the City Chambers in 1916. This reduction would have been cast as part of a group in Steell’s workshop, probably in 1833.
The sculpture’s subject is taken from one of the early

Bamford’ between 1815-1835. The plan was prepared by Gillows & Co. of Oxford Street incorporating the new taste for the exuberant Rococo style that was gaining in popularity. A drawing of the suite showing a sofa, armchair and stool is in the Lancaster City Museums. One of the chairs in the present lot bears the stamp of ‘H. LEE’. for Henry Lee of Ogle Mews, London, who was a journeyman chair maker for Gillows and was probably commissioned to make the whole suite. Between 1813 to 1840 the main focus of Gillows business became the Oxford Street, London premises, where designs for very richly carved seat furniture with extravagant neo-rococo decoration became the fashion and it was at this time that Oxford Street received such prestigious commissions as the magnificent twelve armchairs for Lord Fitzwilliam’s Whistle-jacket Room at Wentworth Woodhouse in Yorkshire and the giltwood suite of seat furniture for the Red Drawing Room at Tatton Park, Cheshire.

Harriet Hosmer - Puck on a Toadstool Harriet Hosmer (1830-1908) was arguably the leading female sculptor of the 19th century. Throughout her career she battled against the myth that sculpture was physically beyond women’s capabilities. Coming from a privileged background outside Boston, Massachussets, she studied anatomy with her physician father before moving to Rome aged nineteen to continue her training under the Welsh sculptor John Gibson. While in Rome she associated with a group of ex-pat artists and writers including Nathaniel Hawthorne, Thackeray, George Eliot and George Sand. Hosmer’s privilege enabled her to overcome female restrictions to a certain extent, her family was wealthy enough to support her through her studies and she attended respected schools making valuable connections that would lead to beneficial patrons. It was financial security that allowed her to choose her own subjects and ultimately her skill as a sculptor that won her recognition. She became known for her untraditional depictions of female subjects and was considered at the time an “emancipated female” as she undertook everyday activities unaccompanied. Critics resorted to highlighting her unfeminine childhood in which she ran, swam and rowed to explain her “masculine” ambitions. Many of her works explored female figures in either captive or desperate situations at the hands of men. Often choosing classical tales, she would depict moments of despair, such as her Medusa (1854) at the moment she loses her beauty to become a monster, or her Oenone (1855) as she is left by her husband Paris. The most famous sculpture in this vein is her masterpiece, Zenobia. Queen Zenobia ruled Palmrya until it was sacked by the Roman Emperor Aurelian and she was taken prisoner. Hosmer studied various literary and historical works for her portrayal, all written by men, describing Zenobia as defeated and weighed down with jewels and unable to walk. Hosmer’s Zenobia refuses to conform to this historical account, she stands defiant as a prisoner with less jewellery and the only chains on her wrists being manacles. The figure is stoic, head held high, carrying her restraints and exuding authority in a situation to be overcome rather than defeated by. The fine figure of Puck on a Toadstool demonstrates Hosmer’s talent for capturing the spirit of her subject. Literary themes

Harriet Hosmer with her sculpture of Thomas Hart Benton (1782-1858), circa 1860.
were very popular in the 19th century and Hosmer chose the mischievous fairy from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Executed at a time when her finances were running low, the figure was immediately successful, being purchased by the Prince of Wales and the Crown Princess of Germany who, upon seeing the work, remarked, “Oh, Miss Hosmer, you have such talent for toes!” The commercial success of Puck on a Toadstool enabled the sculptor freedom to explore other subjects. “I have another order for Puck; he has already brought me his weight in silver.” Harriet Hosmer, in Cornelia Crow Carr, ed., Harriet Hosmer: Letters and Memories, 1913. In 1858, two years after creating Puck, Hosmer created a companion piece to the work, this time borrowing from folklore with her treatment of Will-o-the-Wisp which didn’t achieve the same level of popularity as Puck on a Toadstool.

Note: Murshidabad, the nawabi capital of Bengal, is a well known area for works made from ivory. Western influences were often incorporated into traditional Indian design and reflect the cultural synthesis that was popular amongst the British and Indian elite at that time. Traditionally, vases of this shape would have been used as scented water sprinklers and could have been made of metal, glass, or pottery. This sumptuous pair, most likely were made as a display of wealth rather than any practical use.

The Auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by Sellers or Buyers. 3. BIDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER
we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in bidding by telephone. We do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connections. (h) Online Bidding: We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the internet or software malfunctions related to execution of online bids/ live bidding.
(b) The maker of the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the Buyer and any dispute shall be settled at the Auctioneer’s absolute discretion.
4. INCREMENTS
(c) Once made, no bid may be withdrawn.
For each lot purchased a Buyer‘s Premium of 25% is payable on the first £50,000 of the hammer price, 20% thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer‘s Premium. No VAT is payable on the hammer price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction.
(d) Our right to bid on behalf of Sellers is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve. (e) The right to refuse any bid is also reserved. (f) 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 nor our employees nor 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. (g) Telephone Bids: If a prospective Buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale
Bidding increments shall be at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion. 5. THE PURCHASE PRICE
Live online bidding is subject to an additional 3% premium (charged by the live bidding service provider Invaluable). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above. 6. VALUE ADDED TAX 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. (1) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not
operating under a Margin Scheme. (2) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a lot has been imported from outwith the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items. (3) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwith the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above. 7. DROIT de SUITE This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the Buyer’s premium. It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above ¤1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale.

More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk. 8. PAYMENT (1) Within 7 days of a lot being sold you will: (a) Pay to us the total amount due in cash or by such other method as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), debit cards and Visa or MasterCard credit cards. We do not accept American Express. (b) Please note there is a surcharge of 2% when using credit cards. (c) Please note that under The Money Laundering Regulations 2007 we cannot accept cash payments over ¤15,000 (euros). (2) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing by you to us howsoever incurred and without agreement by you or your agent, whether express or implied. 9. 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 7 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment whichever is later. We can provide you with a list of shippers. However, we will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers whether or not recommended by us. (3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for. (4) It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main sale room and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time. (5) Export of goods: Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character, e.g. items that may contain prohibited materials such as ivory or rhino horn. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence or any delay in obtaining licences shall neither justify the recession of any sale not any delay in making full payment for the lot. 10. REMEDIES FOR NON·PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES (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 Sellers 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: (a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the contract for 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).

(d) to remove, store and insure the lot in the case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere and to recover from you all costs incurred in respect thereof; (e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month above the current base rate on all sums outstanding for more than 7 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 which become due to you towards the settlement of the total amount due by you and to exercise a lien over any of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt due is satisfied. 11. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) 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 only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. (2) Condition reports: Condition reports are provided on our website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavor to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or Lyon & Turnbull and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and you are strongly advised to examine any lot in which you are interested prior to the sale. Our condition reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. (3) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change are for guidance only and should not be relied upon. (4) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. (5) Electrical Goods: are sold as
“works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. (6) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. (7) 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 appearing in the catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. 12. BOOKS, CLOCKS & WATCHES (1) Books-Collation: If on collation any NAMED item in the sale catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings NOR in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text NOR in respect of Defects mentioned in the catalogue, or at the time of sale, NOR in respect of lots sold for less than £300. (2) Clocks & Watches: All lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply that the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches have been repaired in the course of their normal lifetime and may now incorporate parts not original to them. Furthermore, Lyon & Turnbull makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Bidders should also be aware that Lyon & Turnbull cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Bidders should be aware that the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches may not be shipped to the USA and can only be imported personally. 13. CITES

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, safety and security arrangements. Accordingly, neither the Auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to, or at, a sale. 16.
