ANIMAL PORTRAITS OF THE 19TH CENTURY 19th century agricultural conversation pieces, like the four oﬀered here for sale, highlight a highly idiosyncratic but sought after area of the collector’s market. Their immense naïve charm accounts for much of their popularity, as do the fascinating circumstances behind their original development. In the 18th century Britain’s population exploded, almost doubling in size thanks to the boom in industrialisation. A solution was needed for the food shortages that resulted; the response being what we now refer to as the Agricultural Revolution. It was at this stage that farmers

8 HE406/3 THOMAS WEAVER (BRITISH 1774-1843) TROJAN, A NINE YEAR OLD Signed, inscribed and dated ‘Shrewsbury 1820,’ oil on canvas 63.5cm x 76cm (25in x 30in)

£4,000-6,000

began developing methods of selective breeding, the aim being to produce larger, fatter animals that would feed more people. Both out of pride and in order to advertise the advancements made to their herds, farmers began commissioning portraiture of their favourite animals. Livestock portraiture became a lucrative sub-genre in its own right, with artists making a career solely from this type of commission. Though there was likely to be an element of exaggeration in these portraits, these animals were bred to have extremely enhanced features and are quite unrecognisable to the

cattle we know today. Breeding these animals to freakish extents like the colossal Durham Ox (which stood at 5ft 6inches at the shoulder) was banned in the 1850s, though not before the famous bull had been trundled all over the country to be shown at local shows. Indeed, etchings after his portrait by the artist John Boultbee sold in their hundreds to the fascinated general public. Many of the ﬁgures involved in this booming art industry had no formal training, and the majority of works consequently have a naivety and colloquialism that still charms viewers to this day.

John Boultbee, however, had been trained at the Royal Academy School by Sir Joshua Reynolds, and found an admirer and collector in George III. He is best known for his depiction of Leicestershire farmer Robert Bakewell’s famous herd of longhorn cattle.

ORKNEY AND SHETLAND IN ART The landscapes and wildlife of Orkney and Shetland have long been a magnetic draw for British artists. Among the early topographical painters were artists such as Edward Dayes, who drew directly from nature and is best known for his inﬂuence on the young Turner. Subsequent British Victorian genre painters such as Elias Bancroft were less interested in geology and raw nature than in the life of the Shetland islanders, in which they found a diﬀerent form of Romanticism.

36 HF614/36 EDWARD DAYES (BRITISH 1763-1804) ROCKS ON THE SHORE OF THE BAY AT SCAPA Signed and inscribed on the mount, pencil and watercolour 29cm x 41cm (11.5in x 16.25in) Provenance: The Rt Hon Lord Stanley of Alderley Leger Galleries 1967

£1,500-2,000

In the summer of 1885 Glasgow Boys James Guthrie and Arthur Melville travelled together to Orkney, probably to stay with the Clouston family of wealthy merchants, and produced some memorable works and a few years afterwards, the Edinburgh artist James Kinnear began to paint extensively on Orkney, as is shown in the two quintessential works on oﬀer here. It was only natural that Sir John Everett Millais’s son .Johnny (J.G.) would travel to the far north, in his case the

Shetlands, in his endless pursuit of the wildlife of Britain, a fascination which he shared with his contemporary George Edward Lodge. The fact that the Royal Navy was based in Scapa Flow during the Great War provided yet another incentive for other artists including John Lavery and the still underrated Muirhead Bone. And surely the most famous home grown Orcadian artist must be Stanley Cursiter, later Director of the National Galleries of Scotland and Painter in Scotland to the King.

50 HE253/4 ATTRIBUTED TO L. SCHUNEMANN (DUTCH ﬂ. 1651-1681) PORTRAIT OF KATHERINE STEWART, LADY CARDROSS Inscribed, oil on canvas 124cm x 97cm (49in x 38.25in) Provenance: The collection of Alan Leslie Exhibited: Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh 1883 Note: The sitter, who died in 1725, was the daughter of Sir James Stewart of Kirkhill. She married Henry Erskine, 3rd Lord Cardross on 3 March 1671. She was buried at Holyrood Abbey, Edinburgh. Her husband’s portrait, also by Schunemann hangs in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh.

£5,000-7,000

L. Schunemann was a notable figure amongst the wave of Continental artists who were active in Scotland during the late 17th and early 18th century. This influx has been attributed to the re-modelling of the Palace of Holyroodhouse by the architect Sir William Bruce following the restoration of the monarchy under Charles II. The new palace was to be a symbolic affirmation of the King’s presence and power in Scotland and was re-designed elaborately in the Baroque style, requiring the enlistment of many European sculptors and artists. The fashion for this style began to spread throughout Scotland and noblemen who had previously been unable to afford to import their own craftsmen took full advantage of this sudden profluence. Likewise, artists were drawn from abroad by this new demand. Schunemann, a German by birth, is known to have been active in Scotland in the 1660s. He enjoyed the patronage of high ranking nobility, including the Earl of Wemyss and the Duke of Rothes. Eleven works by or

attributed to the artist currently reside in national collections, including portraits of Archibald Campbell (1629– 1685), 9th Earl of Argyll, and John Leslie (1630–1681), 7th Earl and 1st Duke of Rothes. The husband of the sitter in the portrait offered here for sale, Henry Erskine (c.1649– 1693), 3rd Lord Cardross, Privy Councillor and General of the Mint, hangs in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. The portrait bears the influence of Dutch artist Sir Peter Lely who was the King’s Principal Painter in Ordinary from 1661. A three quarter length study, it is redolent with the symbolism that was typical of portraiture at this time. Lady Cardross is shown wearing a fine silver gown which is decorated with pearls, a representation of purity and innocence. This may suggest that the portrait was painted around the time of her marriage, a theory further supported by the fact she is holding a small pink rose in her hand. Roses were used to denote youth, beauty and, of course, love. The fact this is a budding rather than

full blown rose suggests that both the sitter and their marriage were both still in in the bloom of youth. To the ﬁgure’s left is a garden fountain. In addition to employing a foreign artist, Henry Erskine likely had the grounds of his estate modelled in the latest continental style and would have been keen to showcase the trappings of his wealth and cosmopolitanism in this signiﬁcant commissioned portrait. This sale represents a rare opportunity to purchase a scarce and substantial example of work by one of the prominent artists working in Scotland during this fascinating period of the country’s history.

£20,000-30,000 Potential confirmation of the identity of the sitter is born out by a similar painting of a British Officer, with the same face, also said to be a portrait of Major Patrick Campbell, now in the de Young Collection, San Francisco, (the San Francisco painting, 85.125in x 60.25in) (illustrated below) which was previously attributed to Copley, before losing that attribution in 1972 when the renowned Copley scholar Jules Prown concluded it differed from Copley’s style “in its muted and soft

coloration, the gentle treatment of the background and the absence of the strong value contrasts.” This of course, is entirely true when considering Copley’s career as a portraitist in America. His later, London paintings though are very diﬀerent. So the question of the date and the place at which the work was executed becomes crucial and it is necessary to look at the history of the sitter, along with the provenance of both paintings. The San Francisco painting of Major Campbell was put up for sale in 1927 and purchased by The Georgian Galleries of King Street London, from a sale at Burwood House, Surrey. As much is stated in an advertisement in the Connoisseur magazine for October 1927 (illustrated below). It also states that the view is of Barcaldine Castle, Campbell’s ancestral home. Burwood was purchased in 1927 by the 1st Lord Iveagh (Cecil Guinness), who died that same year. It is also clear from the advert that by this time the painting had been sent by the Georgian Galleries to New York for sale, presumably on account of it

being thought to be by Copley. Bought as such by the collector Warner S McCall of St Louis, it was sold by the John Levy Gallery of New York to Mr and Mrs Edmond Herrscher and presented by them to the de Young in August 1933. The Sitter Patrick Campbell of Barcaldine, the supposed sitter in both portraits, was the third son of Duncan Campbell of Barcaldine and Glenure. It would appear that Patrick’s father, Duncan, fell out with three of his other sons, all of whom who joined the military and died while in service. Patrick Campbell obtained a lieutenant’s commission in the 103rd Regiment of Foot toward the end of the Seven Years’ War in 1762, aged around seventeen. The regiment was sent to Belle-Îsle, oﬀ the coast of Brittany. In 1763, at the end of the Seven Years War, aged 18, Campbell became a compulsory ‘reduced’ half-pay lieutenant, but was keen to rejoin the regular army. His uncle, the wealthy Scottish businessman Robert Campbell, based in London, suggested that the boy might be found another commission —but his father Duncan thought otherwise; it was too expensive. Instead, Patrick was called back to the Highlands and operated a cattle-droving partnership. His ambition, however, was to return to the army. Eight years later, in November 1775, he got his wish when, aged around 28, raising a Highland ‘levy’ of infantrymen, he purchased a commission in Colonel Simon Fraser’s newly formed 71st Highland Regiment, with the rank of captain. It seems possible that the San

Francisco picture was painted for Patrick Campbell to mark his being commissioned into the army in 1775. Paid for perhaps by his wealthy uncle Robert, who had backed the idea all along. The view of Barcaldine Castle of course looks nothing like the castle today. Abandoned in 1735 it fell into ruins (being bought back by the Campbells in 1896 and rebuilt). The landscape though does seem to marry up with that around Barcaldine and has a look of the west Highlands. It also has something of the Roman Campagna and this too would work with ascribing it to Copley in 1775, when the influence of Italy was fresh in his mind. Having purchased his commission, Patrick would have had almost six months in London before the regiment sailed in April 1776 and it is possible that during this time that his portrait now in San Francisco was painted. The fact that the portrait would have been painted in London and not in America, would explain its style. Copley’s style changed completely in London where he arrived in 1774 before setting off for the continent, where he remained until September 1775. On his return, according to the scholar of Copley’s English style, Emily Ballew Neff, he aligned himself with the Reynolds camp. He would thus have been working in London at his new studio in George Street from October 1775, at precisely the same moment that Patrick Campbell was there as a newly commissioned officer. We know that Copley was looking at the work of Reynolds at this

time. There is also no doubt that the painting now on oﬀer is by an artist who has absorbed the teachings of Reynolds. Such an opinion has recently been expressed by Professor David Mannings of Aberdeen University, a world authority on Reynolds, who also oﬀered the opinion that the painting might easily be the work of Copley. For relevant comparisons of light, shade and handling see Copley’s Mrs Seymour Fort of c1778 in Connecticut and Clark Gayton, Admiral of the White of 1779 in NMM Greenwich. The 1777 painting of The Copley Family also bears comparison. Major Campbell’s pose is a cross between the Apollo Belvedere and the statue of Octavian in Rome in the adlocutio pose adopted by commanders when addressing their troops. Having just been in Rome, Copley would have been acutely aware of such antique sculpture. So how do we happen to have two paintings of Major Campbell? The answer surely lies in Campbell’s own story. In April 1776 Fraser’s Highlanders, now the 71st foot, mustered at Glasgow and arrived in August 1776 at New York. Doubts have been raised as what appear to be dark blue,

dark green, or even black facings on the officer’s coat in both paintings, as the facing colour of the 71st was white. We do know though that, although he does not wear the short Highland regimental version of the red coat, the man depicted is an officer in a Highland regiment as he wears his sash on his left shoulder. Only Highland officers were granted this privilege, other officers wearing their sashes around the waist. Thus, the sitter is a conundrum. It is possible though that from November to April 1775-1776, when the San Francisco portrait was painted, the facing colours of Fraser’s 71st had not yet been decided upon. What uniform then would Copley have painted his sitter in other than his old coat from his previous regiment, the 103rd? Although the uniform of the 103rd has yet to be visually documented, the leading expert René Chartrand has proposed that its regimental facing colour might have been a dark green, which fits with both of the portraits. It is also not without significance that the coat in both portraits is firmly of the early 1768 pattern and indeed that the gorget is also larger than those worn during the Revolutionary War. Patrick Campbell of Barcaldine

commanded the Grenadier company of the 71st which formed part of a composite Highland grenadier battalion. During its brief existence this 4th British Grenadier Battalion was active in the New York area. Campbell’s first action would have been the landing on Long Island. The Grenadiers also landed on Manhattan and supported the Light Infantry and 42nd Highlanders in the Battle of Harlem Heights. Might not the smaller, Scottish portrait celebrate Campbell’s involvement in the assaults of the New York campaign? It shows a howitzer (French or American) and in the background what appears to be a siege gun, but the landscape is not specific. This second portrait might have been commissioned at the smaller scale to be transported by sea, the larger San Francisco painting remaining in London. It might also be the case that the face in the smaller picture would have been modelled on that in the first as well as preliminary studies made from the original sitting in 1775. This would also explain the use of the dark facings in the second portrait as these would have been in Copley’s original notes for his first painting (the San Francisco portrait). Interestingly, the uniform coat is exactly the same in the two paintings with the epaulette hanging down on the left shoulder. Indeed in the Scottish painting, it is clear from a pentimento, that the artist has moved the original position of the fusil in order to reveal the epaulette more fully. We know that Copley painted a posthumous portrait of the mother in a group portrait of The Pepperell Family of 1778, using sketches he had made while she was still alive. David Mannings has also pointed out that it was Reynolds’s practice to paint smaller portraits

which could be transported on board ship. There appears to be one other portrait by Copley with exactly the same dimensions as the Scottish portrait, in which the sitter is depicted full length. This is the portrait of John Wombwell sold at Sotheby’s New York in 2009. Wombwell was a merchant in Spain in the 1770s and it seems likely that his portrait might have been painted by Copley for export, around 1775. If Campbell’s portrait had a similar purpose, however, it never reached him, for by 1782 he was dead. On October 26, 1779, through the sale of his farming interest in the Scottish Highlands, Campbell had put up £1,100 to purchase his promotion to Major. He then sailed south to participate in the British capture of Georgia, but ill health caused him to return north. He eventually found quarters in the house of Thomas Pearsall, a wealthy Quaker in New York and while there fell in love with Pearsall’s daughter Sarah. Despite her father’s opposition, the two were married on 1st January 1781 and that December had one son, named after Patrick’s father. Patrick’s health however, had suﬀered during his military service, and leaving the army to settle in New York, he died there in September 1782. Interestingly, another portrait of Major Patrick Campbell of the 71st foot, a miniature, is featured along with the two portraits under discussion, in the Frick Art Reference Library, in which the sitter is wearing white facings. It bears a striking facial resemblance to both the Scottish and San Francisco portraits and it has been suggested that it might have been painted shortly before Campbell sailed for America.

A copy by James Malcolm Stewart of only the head and shoulders, dated 1898, is in the Royal Collection. The painting depicts John Charles Montague, who had been a corporal and later sergeant in the 16th Lancers and served for more than twenty years in India. He distinguished himself on several occasions and wears his campaign, good conduct and long service medals. When he retired in 1847 he was appointed a Yeoman of the Guard. Montague died in May 1878.

£30,000-50,000

John Everett Millais was a child prodigy and one of the founders of the PreRaphaelite painters. His painting Christ in the House of his Parents caused some controversy when shown in 1850. Perhaps his most famous painting of this period was Ophelia. In the late 1850s he moved from PreRaphaelitism to a realist style which became hugely popular, making him one of the wealthiest artists of his time. Among his best known works apart from his painting of The Yeoman of the Guard were The North West Passage (1874), The Two Princes Edward and Richard in the Tower (1878), and Bubbles (1886). This picture was painted in 1876, when Millais was then at the height of his fame. Its differences to his ground breaking Pre-Raphaelite work of the 1850s, are attested by his son: “In the summer of 1876 was painted ‘The Yeoman of the Guard’, a picture which, like the ‘The North-West Passage’, could hardly have been expected from the same hand as that which created ‘Lorenzo and Isabella’ and ‘The Eve of St. Agnes’, so widely different is it from either of them in character and sentiment. In ‘The Yeoman’ we have a splendid type of the fine old British warrior of which the nation is so proud a subject entirely after Millais’ own heart. He delighted to paint it, and always considered the picture amongst the four best that ever came from his brush. It was in 1875 that the idea of

this work originated. Millais, having received a commission from a dealer to execute a very large picture of the Yeomen of the Guard searching the vaults beneath the two Houses previous to the opening of Parliament, made a preliminary visit to the Tower of London to see the “Beef Eaters” and study their costume. He was much struck with the splendid colour and tasteful design of the uniform, and thinking that under artificial light its pictorial strength would be lost, he abandoned his original idea, and decided to paint a single figure in all the glory of the open air. The difficulty was to find a model who came up to his ideal wearer of this historic costume; but this at last he found in Major Robert Montagu, a grand old man who most kindly came and sat for the head and hands. The Major had done yeoman service for his country in many campaigns, and his fine dignified head and figure were exactly what the artist required. Now, to sit to an artist for two hours involves a greater strain that is commonly supposed. It is not surprising there fore that this old gentleman, who was over eighty and very infirm, found the work almost too much for him; yet having once commenced he would not give in. He was supplied with soup etc. every three-quarters of an hour; and to relieve the strain on his gallant sitter Millais worked at a higher pressure than he had ever done before. The head and

hands were dashed in, and completely finished in a few days; and yet, like so much of his best work, it suffered nothing from the rapidity with which it was executed. My uncle, Henry Hodgkinson, who was one of my father’s most devoted admirers, and already owned ‘Pizarro seizing the Inca of Peru’ and ‘The Woodman’s Daughter’ (both fine examples of the painter’s earlier manner), had long wished for a specimen of his more recent works, but his limited means restrained him from indulging the desire. Now, however, when he saw ‘The Yeoman’ for the first time, he could no longer resist the temptation. The picture must be his at any cost; and he bought it. A proud man was he that day and ever afterwards of this possession…. When, later on, the artist expressed a desire that it should be left to the nation, he unselfishly jumped at the suggestion and carried it out by his will.” (The Hodgkinson version of the painting was given to the Tate by Mrs Hodgkinson in 1897.) From The Life and Letters of John Everett Millais by his son John Guille Millais.

£50,000-80,000

Born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1870, Charles Goldie displayed an early aptitude for painting and won prizes at the Auckland Society of Arts and the New Zealand Art Students’ Association. On leaving school he worked in his father’s business while continuing art studies under the painter Louis John Steele, who had trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and who inspired Goldie to look to France. Sir George Grey, the New Zealand Premier, was so taken by Goldie’s two still-life paintings exhibited at the Auckland Academy of Art in 1891, that he convinced the painter’s father to allow his son to travel to Paris, and in July 1893 Goldie enrolled at the Académie Julian. For almost ﬁve years, until January 1898, he studied in the Parisian atelier under the renowned Salon painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Goldie Returned to New Zealand in 1898 and established the ‘French Academy of Art’ with Steele. Together they produced a masterwork, a painting of Maoris arriving in New Zealand based on Gericault’s “Raft of the Medusa”, which was bought by Auckland Art Gallery. But Goldie’s true metier was to be in portraiture.

From 1901 he began to make trips to visit Maori people, sketching and photographing them whenever he could. Mostly, following in a tradition set by Steele, he painted senior Maori elders. As his fame grew, however, models began to come to sit for him in his Auckland studio, draped in a cloak or in a combination of a blanket and velvet. The sitter in the oﬀered painting, Te Hei, was also captured by the artist in two portraits executed in 1907: a front-facing work and a proﬁle study entitled “Touched by the Hand of Time”. An additional painting depicting the sitter was also executed in 1909 (this was one of the works stolen from Wellington’s National Art Gallery in 1969). The fact that Goldie returned to re-engage with Te Hei after 11 years is indicative of the long-standing relationships he maintained with his sitters, and the extent to which he felt invested in documenting his subjects with artistic integrity over the years. Goldie faced criticism in the early 1910s for his photorealism and during the Great War he began to produce smaller scale paintings on panel which were often copies of his earlier larger paintings, whose sitters were by now deceased. Following

his marriage in 1920, he produced little work over a decade, but resumed painting around 1930 in a looser style, giving his new works moralizing or provocative titles. In 1934 and 1935 he exhibited at the R.A. in London and in the latter year was appointed O.B.E. This work, entitled “Ka Pai te Kai Paipa (Smoking is Great)” is typical of his later output, being a version of an earlier portrait. A classic of its type, it dates from 1941, shortly before Goldie gave up painting completely and six years prior to his death in 1947.

£70,000-90,000

‘Still Life of Flowers on a Stone Ledge’ is an exquisite example of the continuation of the Dutch still-life tradition into the nineteenth century, by a painter considered to be the foremost painter of such a subject in that century. Hendrik Reekers was, and remains, particularly recognised for these later, beautifully detailed compositions of ﬂowers. The son of an established artist who specialised in genre subjects, Hendrik Reekers’ ﬁrst teacher was his father, though he later studied with leading still-life painter Georgius Jacobus Johannes van Os. Reekers began exhibiting relatively early, in 1832, and continued throughout his career; he displayed a range of oils and

watercolours but was always particularly focussed on stilllife subjects, and especially flowers. As well as consistently exhibiting in Amsterdam and the Hague, Reekers also travelled to Paris and Versailles and had a picture exhibited at the British Institution in London in 1847, though it is unclear whether he travelled to London with this painting. In ‘Still Life of Flowers on a Stone Ledge’ Reekers creates a masterful composition, a perfectly balanced sweep that fills the panel, from the tall tulips down, allowing the display of a dazzling variety of flowers and range of perspectives of the blooms, revealing both the beauty and bounty of nature and the impressive skill of the artist to render it so accurately. Different flowers are shown in developing stages from small wisps of growth and the serrated edges of fresh green leaves to the lush petals of fully blossoming flowers, in this richly luxurious bouquet.

The temple also houses the Akal Takht throne installed by the Sixth Guru, which is the seat of God's temporal authority. The Gurdwara was renovated in 1764 and in the early nineteenth century, Maharaja Ranjit Singh covered the upper stories with gold, giving rise to its English name.

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.

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. 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.

12. BOOKS, CLOCKS & WATCHES, DIAMONDS & GEMSTONES (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. (3) Diamonds & Gemstones: Please note that diamonds and gemstones cannot be accurately graded and measured when mounted in jewellery. Unless it is stated in the catalogue and condition report that the item is accompanied by an independent report by a named gemmological laboratory, the information provided about the colour, clarity and size of a gemstone is the opinion of our department jewellery specialists. Please note in the event that Lyon and Turnbull has been given or has obtained certificates for any lot in the sale, Lyon and Turnbull nor the Seller accepts any liability for contradictions or differing certificates obtained by Buyers on any lots post sale. Diamonds and gemstones are not unmounted by the department, therefore any information provided in this instance is an approximate understanding of the quality of the gemstone under these limitations. Without an independent report the department are generally unable to give an opinion on any potential treatments a gem material has been subjected to. Many gemstones and diamonds have been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance and unless stated buyers should presume gemstones/diamonds have been exposed to some sort of treatment. 13.
