Scottish Ceramics & Glass 1 HB373/10 A LARGE & RARE PRESTONPANS CEREMONIAL LEADGLAZED REDWARE PUNCH BOWL

SIGNED AND DATED 1776 decorated with incised white slip-ﬁlled decoration, depicting a heraldic crest to the interior with motto CAPER FEY, and on its exterior with swags and tassels to the rim, the base inscribed ‘M.C., P. PANS, 1776’ in part below a glaze patch (broken and repaired); with ASSOCIATED LATE 19TH CENTURY EBONISED TABLE STAND, the octagonal top raised on turned legs linked by stretchers (2) bowl, 78cm diameter

Provenance: Dollerie House, Crieﬀ

Note: This large punch bowl is believed to have come to Dollerie House in 1829, when Anthony Murray 10th of Dollerie married Georgina Murray of Ochtertyre. It is thought that Georgina brought much in the way of dowry and possessions upon her betrothal, including this piece. She was the great-granddaughter of George Mackenzie, 3rd Earl of Cromartie, whose family crest is depicted to the well of this punch bowl. Mackenzie was known for joining the Jacobite rebellion in 1745, with whom he served until April 1746 when he was arrested and taken prisoner following his prominent role in the Battle of Littleferry. Although he received a pardon and was not sentenced to death, he forfeited his peerage, estates and wealth which reduced him to extreme poverty, before his death in 1766. Mackenzie’s youngest daughter, Lady Augusta married into the Murray family of Ochtertyre in 1770, and it is believed that this bowl passed to the Murray family through this connection. The words ‘Caper Fey’ are a corruption of ‘Cabar Feidh’, which refers to the stag’s head (or more correctly ‘the deer’s antlers’) of the arms of the Mackenzie of Kintail and later the Earls of Seaforth. It was the ‘by-name’ of the Chiefs of Mackenzie. James Boswell in his ‘A Letter to the People of Scotlan on the present state of the nation’ (Edinburgh 1783) states on page 30 ‘….The caper-fey (the deer’s head, of the crest (sic) of the Mackenzie’s) was displayed….’ At the period this bowl was made there were three potteries in Prestonpans, one making coarse redwares and two whiteware potteries which also produced redwares. Given its size and quality, we can be fairly sure that this bowl which is in a more refined redware was thrown either at the ‘Old Kirk Pottery’ owned by William Cadell or the ‘Bankfoot Pottery’ owned by his nephew, also a William Cadell. That such an important bowl was produced in a local redfiring clay is not surprising as it would have been almost impossible to fire a vessel of this large size either in creamware or white salt glazed stoneware.

William Trotter (1772-1833)

William Trotter was an Edinburgh based cabinet maker, whose family had been associated with the founding of the Edinburgh Merchant Company since 1691. His forebears, Young, Trotter and Hamilton set up a warehouse on Princes Street in 1772, before Trotter became sole proprietor of the company in 1809. As one of the most important and successful cabinet makers in Scotland, he had some important commissions, including furniture for Paxton House, Berwickshire, in 1814-5 and for the Signet Library in Edinburgh in 1822.

Trotter’s success was in part due to his appreciation for his client’s taste and, as such, he developed a Regency style but with distinctive elements: carved paw feet, beaded and egg-and-dart mouldings, carved rosettes, reeded, scrolled and sabre legs. He used high quality timber and was inﬂuenced, not only by his Scottish contemporaries, but those south of the border too. He gained much of his business from incoming New Town clients who hired both their city dwellings and all the furniture to complete the look. Elizabeth Grant of Rothiemurcus, for example, described how her family moved to ‘a large house in Picardy Place, No. 8 … My father took a lease of it for three years, hiring the furniture from Mr Trotter’.

Trotter’s life outside of his business was also noteworthy and he was an inﬂuential character within the capital. In 1819 he became master of Edinburgh Merchant Company and he held the position of Lord Provost of the City of Edinburgh from 1825-7.

110 HC521/1 A BRASS SIMPLE MICROSCOPE BY JOHN CLARK, EDINBURGH

DATED 1774 the wooden case covered with black fishskin enclosing a fitted interior with brass plaque mount with reciprocal screw aperture for the microscope and bearing inscription JNO. CLARK/ EDIR 1774, the brass instrument brass fittings with a vertical pillar, folding concave mirror, focusing to the stage by a knurled knob and screw, below an adjustable platform with numbered scale (1-5) holding a wheel of five numbered objectives ranging sequentially in power, the original brass slide with nine apertures for specimens, five glazed and containing specimens, the box also containing the original turned ivory box for circular mica specimen covers box, 11 x 7 x 3.5cm, microscope extended, 15.5cm high

Note: This brass simple microscope was made in 1774 by John Clark, a jeweller, goldsmith and optical instrument maker based in Edinburgh between 1749 and 1796. He first offered microscopes, made in silver, for sale in 1749, subsequently modifying their design in 1754, and ultimately advertising a brass instrument from 1773. In this pocket instrument, designed for the gentleman-amateur, Clark has managed to include all the fittings and accessories found in the much more substantial microscopes used in the contemporary drawing room. The entire instrument folds up and fits into its fishskin-covered case, allowing it to be taken out (in a pocket) into the field. Clark had at least three shops in his career: one at James Gilliland’s Jeweller, at the upper-end of the Luckenbooths (1749); one at Parliament Close (175155); and one at Sir Isaac Newton’s Head, a little above the Guard, north side of the High Street (1773-82).

120 HC690/4 A PITCH PINE FRAMED ORKNEY CHAIR, BY ROBERT H. TOWERS, KIRKWALL

LATE 20TH CENTURY with woven straw cowled hood and curved back, above open arms and seagrass drop-in seat, raised above single drawer on square supports 63cm wide, 148cm high, approx. 40cm deep

Literature: Cotton, Bernard D. ‘Scottish Vernacular Furniture’, London 2008, pp. 250-261

Note: Orkney chairs are thought to have been made on the islands since the 19th century and the majority have wooden frames although they were also made entirely of straw although few of these survive. On the largely treeless northern isles straw became an important alternative material for the manufacture of furniture and other useful items. The straw in Orkney chairs, known locally as ‘gloy’ needed to be unbroken so was dried in kilns after harvesting rather than being threshed. The skilled makers then formed the backs of the chairs by eye. The current chair was made with a cowled hood, designed to exclude draughts.

Scottish Silver & Applied Arts 37 121 HC706/1 A PAINTED ASH AND PINE CAITHNESS OR SUTHERLAND CHAIR

19TH CENTURY the back with nine horizontal spindles (one lacking), the plank seat with two further stretchers, all supported by L shaped elements and raised on hewn square legs linked by stretchers 42cm wide, 79cm high, approx. 48cm deep

Literature: Cotton, Bernard D. ‘Scottish Vernacular Furniture’, London 2008, pp. 214-219 and p. 216 where this chair is illustrated

Note: This chair comes from a tradition of chair-making in the largely treeless regions in the far north of Scotland which utilised the stunted trees that managed to grow there. The strong winds bent the trunks or branches into shapes that might usefully be employed for making chair parts. Characteristics of these crofter-made chairs are the two similar or split bent elements supporting spindles to the back and usually a planked seat. Ash was the favoured wood as it was hardwearing and the branches split easily. Legs were often made from found branches of the correct size linked by naturally found branches. The low height of the chairs enabled the sitter to be below the ‘smoke line’ in the croft.

£600-800

122 HC706/2 A SCOTTISH PINE SPLAT-BACK ARMCHAIR

Literature: Cotton, Bernard D. ‘Scottish Vernacular Furniture’, London 2008, pp. 154-156.

Note: This splat-back chair, the design based on Restoration models, is transitional from the panelled back chairs of the previous century and later. The chairs in this group often have characteristic volute carving and splats with moulded edges, as in this example. The carved initials and date on this chair possibly commemorate a wedding.

Scottish Design 1.qxp_Layout 1 16/07/2015 16:40 Page 41

The Alex Wilson Collection of Mauchline Ware: Part I Alex Wilson, a successful Scottish businessman, was an enthusiastic champion and collector of Mauchline Ware, although this was by no means the limit of his enthusiasm for all things Scottish. Although his business interests took him to the south of England he maintained a tremendous interest in his home country. In 1985 he joined the Burns Club of London, and was elected President in 1988, serving for two consecutive sessions; the only person to do so since the Second World War. He was also Chairman of the Caledonian Club and President of the Caledonian Society of London in the same year of 1991. His support of the Society’s charities, the Royal Caledonian Educational Trust and the Royal Scottish Corporation, was constant and wide ranging. He could, and did, recite Burns spontaneously and was Chairman of the Caledonian Club’s Burns Committee for many years and was an honorary member of the Mauchline Burns Club. Signiﬁcantly he was also one of the early committee members of the Mauchline Ware Collectors Club and was the driving force in ensuring that Mauchline Ware was appropriately represented in Mauchline with the opening of the Mauchline Ware Museum at Nance Tinnocks, part of the Burns House Museum complex.

auchline Ware is a generic name for the wooden souvenir wares, predominately produced in the town of Mauchline in Ayrshire, but also produced in other areas of Scotland during the course of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Early wares were carved or hand decorated in penwork. Later there were numerous makers, producing a large range of treen, transfer printed with popular scenes and holiday destinations; tartan varnished ﬁnishes known as ‘tartanware’ as well as fern ware, photographic ware and cedar ware, to name but a few. Pieces were made in sycamore or plane wood, and can be distinguished by their durable varnish, construction and ﬁnishes. The success of “Mauchline Ware” owes its fame, in part, to the Smiths of Mauchline initially manufactured by brothers, Andrew and William Smith, who produced wares from the

1820s. It became an industry which was to dominate the market for wooden souvenirs during most of the Victorian era. During the course of the 19th century the factory developed new pieces, shapes and sizes and ﬁnishes. The company responded to the new Victorian taste for holidays and souvenirs, as commercial railways were developed and seaside trips became increasingly popular and their wares were despatched to all parts of the British Isles, Europe, North and South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. The Smiths’ innovations ensured the success of their business and earned them The Royal Warrant, enabling them dominate the ‘fancy goods’ market. The business rejuvenated the local economy in Mauchline, and inspired many other makers of similar wares in Scotland until its closure in the 1930s.

188 HB575/15 A FINE VICTORIAN SILVER GILT REPLICA OF THE TARA BROOCH 187 HB575/14 A VICTORIAN CASED SILVER GILT REPLICA OF THE HUNTERSTON BROOCH

unmarked, of traditional form with finely worked Celtic interlace and bosses, with fixed integral pin and simple hinged pin to reverse, in original fitted case Width: 7cm

Note: The original Hunterston brooch was found during the 1830’s in Hunterston, Ayrshire, reportedly by two men from West Kilbride who were digging drains at the foot of Goldenberry Hill, and is currently in the National Museum of Scotland. It is thought to date from AD700 and would have been made at a Royal site in Ireland or Western Scotland. Cast in silver with gold and amber detail (now lost), it was undoubtedly made by an exceptionally skilled craftsman for an important and wealthy patron. It was a piece which was obviously prized for decades after it was made, and remained a status symbol for its later owners, as the reverse has a scratched rune inscription ‘Melbrigda owns this brooch’ which probably dates from the 10th century.

Waterhouse & Co, with integral Victorian registration diamond and marked Waterhouse & Co, Queen’s Jewellers Dublin, of traditional form with ﬁne detail and integral swing pin Width: 7.5cm

Note: The original Tara brooch is currently housed in the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin, and was found in 1850 by a peasant woman, not on the Hill of Tara from which the piece takes its name, but on the beach in County Meath. She claimed to have come across the piece in a box there, and took it to a local jewellery dealer who, seeing the craftsmanship and value of the item, was quick to rename it after the seat of the high kings of Ireland, aligning it with a period of history which was at the time very popular, and more importantly, lucrative. It dates from about AD700, and is one of the most impressive examples of its kind, cast in silver with intricate gold ﬁligree decoration and glass, amber and enamel detail, it is considered to represent the pinnacle of early medieval Irish metalworkers’ achievement. Before it made its way into the Royal Irish Academy’s collection in 1872, it was a central piece at The Great Exhibition in London in 1851, and the Paris Exposition Universelle. It was even sent to Windsor Castle for inspection by Queen Victoria before the Dublin exhibition in 1853.

196 FG970/1 THE HENRY BENEDICT, CARDINAL DUKE OF YORK SERMON CASE

An important mid-18th century silver sermon case unmarked, probably Italian, the simple rectangular hinged case cover ﬁnely engraved with the full armorials of Henry Benedict, Cardinal Duke of York, the reverse with applied cross centrally set with an emerald cut garnet, simple shaped hinged clasp, interior plain 18cm wide, 23.5cm high, weight 25oz

Note: Although an important member of the Stuart family, relics and personal property of Henry Benedict, Cardinal Duke of York, the younger brother of Charles Edward Stuart, are extremely rare. After denouncing his Stuart birth right he was perhaps not as public a face of the uprisings, as may be expected. It is well recorded he worked in the background on his father’s and brother’s behalf. A fine full length portrait by Blanchet of him in his Cardinal’s robes along with his silver gilt rosewater laver and basin were in the Duke of Hamilton’s collection, sold through the famous Hamilton Palace sale of 1882, the latter now on loan to the National Museum of Scotland. Henry lived his life in relative comfort, in comparison to his brother who was plagued by debts, but his fortunes changed dramatically with the French Revolution, when, in 1799, his residence in Frascati was ransacked and he barely escaped with his life. He eventually settled in Venice and is recorded supporting his income by selling family and personal silver and art. It is likely this sermon case and scent flask were sold at this time to fund his lifestyle. Old and infirm, it was undoubtedly an insult to his status, but one which the touring nobles of Europe were pleased to support by visiting and entertaining him, and, in rare circumstances, buying such personal and Jacobite relics. Perhaps not as highly celebrated within the uprisings, it was not until the death of Henry Benedict in 1807 that the Hanoverian reign could finally consider the possible claim of the Stuarts to the throne extinguished.

197 FG970/4 A FINE 17TH CENTURY HORN PENKNIFE

the shaped handle formed of ﬁne translucent horn, with delicately carved intertwined trailing thistle and rose heads emanating from a displayed lion, within foliate border, the hinged steel blade marked ROI with cross above handle 85mm long, overall 15cm long

Provenance: Personal property of Prince Henry, elder brother of King Charles I, around 1612 Collection of Mrs Egiston Bairns

Note: Henry Frederick Stuart, Prince of Wales, was the elder brother of Charles I, the eldest son of James VI of Scotland and I of England and Anne of Denmark. He was born in 1594 in Stirling Castle and soon after his father had him removed from the care of his mother, for fear of him picking up her Catholic sympathies. While this naturally created a certain amount of animosity between James and Anne, Prince Henry was to remain in the care of John Erskine, Earl of Mar until his father became King of England in 1603 and the family moved south. It was at the same time that the title of Duke of Cornwall was bestowed on Henry, followed by that of Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester in 1610. He was widely considered as a bright young man, very active, taking part in many of the popular sports of the period including hunting, hawking and jousting; and was also keenly interested in the kingly business into which he was to be involved, often disagreeing with his father on matters of state. Naturally this created a certain amount of friction between father and son, particularly when Prince Henry’s popularity seemed to be overtaking that of his father. As a bright and promising heir to the throne, he was also a devout Protestant, so much so that he was said to have strongly opposed his father’s suggested French match for him, announcing that he was ‘resolved that two religions should not lie in his bed.’ His untimely death came at the age of 18, and while there were rumours of poison, it is widely accepted that he died of typhoid fever. He was greatly mourned by the nation; with esteemed poets such as John Donne and Ben Johnson writing elegies. If he had lived we may have been spared the civil war which followed during his brother’s reign, and which ultimately cost Charles his head; and would certainly have prevented the Jacobite uprising.

198 HB572/7 DUNCAN MCGROUDER MEMORIAL RING

the oval head formed as a double sided glass panel enclosing woven hair, the black enamel shank with gold detail inscribed ‘DUNCAN MCGROUDER ob. 16th SEP 1755 AE 41’

Provenance: Inherited by Duncan McGrouther By descent to his wife, Margaret McGrouther (nee Stirling of Kippendavie) Gifted to Mary Stirling (nee Airth), second daughter of James Graham of Airth, from c1781 By direct descent

Note: Duncan McGrouther, brother of Alexander McGrouther Snr, was born on 12th April 1714. He appears to have not played an active role in the ’45 but served as heir general for his elder brother John by 1748. As well as looking after family affairs in these difficult and turbulent times, he was also a surgeon based in Crieff. He ended up being the beneficiary of various family bonds and annuities gifted through James, Lord Drummond. These bonds show the close relationship the family had to such staunch Jacobite supporters and again perhaps contradict the idea that Alexander Snr and Jnr were forced into the Perth regiment by the Duke.

Iona Silver The Celtic revival in Scotland had one maker who stands above the rest, Alexander Ritchie. He and his wife Euphemia had studied at Glasgow School of Art and had spent time on Iona before settling there to make a living as artists. They found inspiration on Iona in the stone carvings and Celtic relics which can be seen in his most monumental works to the smallest link in a chain. Their expertise and skill, and the inﬂuence that their work had on makers of the time, cemented the movement’s popularity from the late 1890s onwards.

As the resurgence in popularity of this style has grown, Alexander and Euphemia Ritchie’s names have once again risen to a high level of popularity with a new generation of collectors. As he wrote later in life, he and his wife had married “on very little except hope, but my wife being an expert with the pencil, we began to adapt Iona designs to silver, and have had as much success as I can expect”.

The ranges the Ritchie’s produced were popular with visitors to the island and locals alike and although they worked in brass, copper, wood and textiles, it is in silver that the most important commissions were made.

Note: Often attributed to William Robb of Ballater, this mark actually relates to his son James Robb who worked in Stonehaven from 1926. His work is often very similar in

style to his father’s and was likely following in his tradition. The use of this mark, and his other maker’s mark, appear to have only been used for a very short time and his business turned into a retailer of Scottish market items and more traditional jewellery.

Alexander Stewart, marked A.S, TAIN, C, of Old English pattern with script initials GM to terminal Length: 18.5cm, 38.3g £400-600

Note: John Sellar’s work is well recorded in Wick and is the most prolific of the two makers recorded there. However, less well known, is that Sellar also worked and marked silver in Elgin seen with ‘ELGIN’ and tree and bauble town marks, and in Tain. His work in Tain is without doubt his rarest and dates between 1821 – 1825. During this time two maker’s punches are attributed to him, JS with incurved sides and a matching town punch and the example under discussion. The punch seen to the following three lots is distinctively different to the one he uses in Wick as the proportion and spacing of the J and S is much wider and the punch slightly more crudely cut. The tablespoon is perhaps the most important example of this mark extant as it has obviously been made to match or extend a set of Alexander Stewart made Tain spoons. This and the direct family provenance from the Tain area give additional confirmation of the origin.

362 HB575/29 AN EARLY 18TH CENTURY SCOTTISH PROVINCIAL MUG

unmarked, of plain tapered form with ‘S’ scroll reeded handle and foot rim, engraved initials ‘I*W’ to underside of base Height: 6cm, 2.6oz

Note: Although unmarked, there seems little doubt this mug is not only Scottish provincial but likely from the Highlands, perhaps Inverness or indeed Tain. The overall manufacture, style and proportion is reminiscent of various full sized and miniature thistle and plain mugs. This example, being also mid-sized, is unusual with the majority of smaller examples being made provincially, rather than in Edinburgh. The style of strap handle is seen throughout Scotland from circa 1680 onwards. The style and position of the initials is again typically Scottish. While an exact location is diﬃcult to pin-point the north and Highlands seems the most likely as

these types of cups appear to have been popular in and around Inverness and Tain more so than in the wealthier Aberdeen. For further discussion on these mugs and illustration of various comparable examples see ‘Notes on Antique Silver’, Commander G. E. P. How, Summer 1942

Note: Although unmarked, this quaich follows a pattern which seems synonymous with the late 1600’s. Of the few marked examples which survive they all appear to date to c1680 - c1690 and so far are mainly recorded in Glasgow - where usually of a larger size - or the North East of Scotland in Banﬀ and Aberdeen where the smaller size, such as

this, come from. The attention of engraved stave lines and ﬂoral details and displays would have been intended to show the owner’s interest in the arts and natural sciences, as well as showing his wealth in owning such an item of silver.

Communion Silver from Coldingham Priory Coldingham Priory has been a holy site since the Bronze age, when it was one of the most important of the surrounding settlements in Berwickshire. In 640AD St Ebba, sister of King Oswy of Northumbria, arrived by sea having ﬂed her home and an arranged marriage in favour of a more religious life, and the site originally maintained by her had a relatively quiet early life. This is excepting two ﬁres, one thought to be at the hand of God and the other at the hand of Danish raiders. In 1098

Edgar, King of the Scots gifted Coldingham to the Benedictine monastery of Durham, highlighting its importance and value as recompense for the aid the monks had oﬀered in helping Edgar depose this uncle from the throne. The priory continued to grow in both strength and importance over the decades, playing host to important individuals both friendly and hostile, including King John of England, Margaret Tudor and later Cromwell.

Provenance: Gavin Campbell 1st Marquess and 7th Earl of Breadlabane Collection, Christies Manson & Woods, 12th May 1926, lot 19 (part)

Note: Perhaps the earliest collector of Scottish silver was Gavin, 1st Marquess and 7th Earl of Breadalbane, who built up an unrivalled collection of objects and spoons. This collection, while now dispersed, is perhaps the best known of the period, not by its contents alone but by the unique applied collector’s mark used on all the pieces, ‘Breadalbane’ in script struck incuse. Many of these marks formed the main reference for the Scottish sections in Sir Charles Jacksons ﬁrst (and later) edition of ‘English Goldsmith’s and their marks’ in 1905. The silver collection was split and sold in two main portions in 1926 and 1935 (other collections and castle contents were sold separately over various sales), however it is known items were bequeathed in his will so while these sales represent a large proportion of the original group they likely do not illustrate the full extent.

(a) Governing Law: These Conditions of Sale and all aspects of all matters, transactions or disputes to which they relate or apply shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, Scots law (b) Jurisdiction: The Seller agrees that the Courts of Scotland are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle all disputes arising in connection with all aspects of all matters or transactions to which these Conditions of Sale relate or apply.

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

(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

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.

(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. Please note that photographs/images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the lot.

(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. Our condition report does not form any contract between Lyon & Turnbull and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Seller’s obligations in any way. (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 and 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. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred.

(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 current safety regulation. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. Lyon & Turnbull provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item.

(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 the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. 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, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that Lyon & Turnbull cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. 13. cITES

These regulations may be found at http://www.defra.gov.uk/ahvla-en/ importsexports/cites/ Lyon & Turnbull accepts no liability for any lots which may be subject to CITES but have not be identified as such.

14. SALE By pRIVATE TREATy

(a) The same Conditions of Sale (Buyers) shall apply to sales by private treaty.

(b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction and subject to our agreed charges for Sellers and Buyers.
