Select Items from Arthur Lodge, Edinburgh 5
Arthur Lodge, in the Blacket Conservation area of south Edinburgh, is a remarkable Grade A listed late Georgian villa dating from 1829. Built in the Greek Revival style with an atrium, carved classical details to the exterior stone work, and alcoves for sculpture and statues, as well as an Italian sunken garden, it is quite unique in comparison to its more traditional neighbours. Direct references to Greek architecture are evident in the entrance way which is based on the monument of Thrasyllis on the Acropolis; and in the drawing room, where the ceiling echoes similarities to the gates of the Parthenon. Each room is different from the next; causing it to be referred to as 'the most theatrical house in Scotland.'
The property was reputedly designed by Glasgow-born architect, Thomas Hamilton (1784-1858), a prominent figure in the new Georgian designs of Edinburgh at the time. His repertoire includes the Burns Monument and Royal High School, both on Calton Hill, the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, the Dean Orphan Hospital (now the Dean Gallery) and the George IV Bridge. He is credited as being one of the leading Greek Revivalists in Scotland of the time, and was very involved with the 'Edinburgh Improvement Act', as well as a founding member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1826.

Select Items from Arthur Lodge, Edinburgh Arthur Lodge itself has been the perfect setting for antique furniture and works of art, which has as much to show on the inside as it does outside: various rooms have been decorated with colourful murals and friezes, Norwegian oak panelling, Venetian embroidered velvet doors and Ionic columns. Similarly, it's history includes various interesting former residents from the Antarctic explorer and co-founder of the Scottish National Party, artist William Burn-Murdoch, to QC John Pinkerton and conservator Jack Howells. The latter bought the Lodge in the 1980s and undertook a large Neoclassical restoration project of the property, before it was purchased by the most recent former residents in 2002. Lyon & Turnbull are pleased to include the select contents of Arthur Lodge in our autumnal sale, showcasing pieces from Georgian and Regency furniture to Victorian works of art, as well as Chinese ceramics and French bedroom furniture.

Gentlemen & Cabinet-Maker's Director Plate XLIV
Thomas Chippendale’s Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker’s Director, published in three editions in 1754, 1755 and 1762, included designs for an important group of furniture referred to as ‘Commode tables’ or ‘French commodes’. The first edition illustrated designs for six examples, which was subsequently expanded to fourteen for the edition of 1762. These are Chippendale’s interpretations of Louis XV furniture of the period, incorporating bombé forms with rich ornamental carving to replace the ormolu mounts favoured by the French. Plate XLIV in the 1754 and 1755 editions (later Plate LXV in the revised 1762 edition) illustrates a ‘French Commode Table’ which is the basis for a celebrated commode made in the 1750s for Captain Townsend of Raynham Hall, Norfolk, now in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. While no firm evidence has been uncovered to link the commode to the Chippendale workshop, there was a strong family tradition that Chippendale supplied furniture to the house and other members of the Townsend family.
Chest of drawers after designs by Thomas Chippendale | Circa 17541757 | Philadelphia Museum of Art, Accession Number 1941-73-1
The Raynham Hall commode differs slightly from the Chippendale design, mainly in the serpentine outline of the top rather than a straight breakfront as shown in plate XLIV, and the introduction of a carved fruiting swag frieze and perpendiculars separating the drawer blocks. The present lot, a near exact copy of the Raynham Hall commode, was made in the 19th century when there was renewed interest in Chippendale’s furniture and designs. The popularity of mid-18th century design saw the term ‘Chippendale’ used to describe any English Rococo furniture inspired by the Director. Possibly a centennial piece made to mark the hundredth anniversary of the first edtion of the Director, the present commode could only have been made by someone familiar with the Raynham Hall commode since it so closely resembles it, most notably in the differences from Chippendale’s original design.

107 19TH CENTURY NAÏVE ENGLISH SCHOOL THE OLD CHAIN PIER, BRIGHTON Oil on canvas 45cm x 66cm (17.75in x 26in)
£600-800 Note: The Brighton Chain Pier was built between 1822 and 1823. It measured 350 yards long and thirteen feet wide, and acted as a bridge between the cliff wall and four towers, being used as an embarkation point for cross-channel ships. Its position was, however, exposed to the elements and the coming of the railways and the more sheltered aspect of Newhaven port, spelt its demise in use. Neglect weakened the pier and it was declared unsafe in October 1896. On 4 December 1896, a ‘terrific storm of wind, with some rain’ blew all day. At about 10.30pm, ‘suddenly, amid the roaring waves and the howling of the wind, the pier shivered convulsively from end to end; and in a few moments the entire structure had collapsed. Nothing remained standing but the vestiges of the first piles of timbers’. An eye-witness said that ‘the light at the pier-head remained until the last’. The next morning, all that remained was the broken first tower and some jagged piles jutting out of the sea. The chains had sunk right down onto the beach and sea bed.

Yester House, former home of the Marquess of Tweeddale, sits on its estate at the edge of the pretty village of Gifford in East Lothian. The current house has its origins in the latter part of the 17th century, with significant expansions and changes in the early 18th century by Scotland’s pre-eminent architect William Adam. After his death in 1748, further renovations were carried out by his son Robert, who created Yester’s magnificent Saloon on the first floor, arguably one of the great country house rooms in Scotland. Owned by the Tweeddales until the late 1960s, Yester House passed through other owners before being purchased by the Italian-American composer Gian Carlo Menotti in 1972. Founder of the Spoleto Festival, Menotti was an advocate for encouraging new talent, and Yester House often was the setting for musical soirees of up-and-coming as well as established musicians. The house remained in the Menotti family until 2015 when it was acquired by the present owners who have now started a programme of sympathetic restoration of the house and estate, positioning it for a new life into the 21st century.

The hall is festooned with the trappings and memorabilia of William Hay, the Tenth Marquess of Tweeddale, who served in India in the Bengal Civil Service from 18451862. Of particular interest is the elephant skull which sits under the table.

Note: John Duterrau was granted a Royal warrant as a Watchmaker in Ordinary to George III in 1799, and Francis Perigal of New Bond Street was also watchmaker to King George III. They were in New Bond Street from 1802 to 1840. The Perigal clock and watchmakers were famous for their high quality products, exported across the world to places such as China, Jamaica and the Ottoman Empire. The present regulator, housed in its fine flame mahogany case, has a movement of exceptional quality. Perigal & Duterrau had a close working relationship with Thwaites & Reed and this may well be a movement supplied by them. The case is also almost identical to a known Thwaites regulator, so it is a possibility this example was supplied by Thwaites to Perigal & Duterrau who retailed it.

Note: George Smith (1786-1826) published three influential books on design in the first quarter of the 19th century. Smith’s A Collection of Designs for Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, published in 1808, A Collection of Ornamental Designs, after the Manner of the Antique, in 1812, and finally in 1826, The Cabinet-Maker’s and Upholsterer’s Guide.

Elioth Gruner’s The Silver Light of Summer Morn One of the later figureheads pertaining to the Australian Impressionist movement, New Zealand-born artist Elioth Gruner (1882-1939) is distinguished as one of the country’s most innovative and poetic painters of light, whose work captured the imagination of many throughout the early 20th century. We are delighted to offer The Silver Light of Summer Morn, an assertion of Gruner’s artistic prominence, and a landmark of his evolving career. Gruner moved to Australia at a young age, and in 1901 began selling paintings to Sydney’s Society of Artists, where his work gradually gained traction. It was not until 1923, however, that Gruner garnered much of his inspiration from his travels across Europe, where pioneers of European Modernism conjured a rethinking of his artistic technique. The paintings of Cézanne introduced him to a high-key palette, whilst those of Gauguin revealed the beauty of expressive brushstrokes and simplified forms. Upon his return to Australia, Gruner’s repertoire developed in accordance with his European counterparts – a simplification of subject matter, an increased attention to pattern, and a freer, wider sweep of the brush set him apart from his Australian equals.
The Silver Light of Summer Morn is a fine example of Gruner’s dedication to plein-air painting, in which we’re presented with his new, excited and liberal working of the brush. A vast turquoise sky extends across most of the composition, subsuming a mellow swathe of sand, and a delicate slither of seawater disappears into the bright horizon. Rougher topology in the distance smoothly tapers down to a low vanishing point, convening with the lighter tones of the water’s surface. We are not, however, the only admirers of this placid view. To the bottom right two women regard the calm waters with their backs to the viewer, one leisurely reclining beneath a pink parasol, the other standing. A deckchair endorses this site as one frequently revered by visitors, accentuated by more distant figures merrily testing the waters of the calm Pacific Ocean. Nonetheless, we’re still drawn to the sprawling sky that dwarfs all the participants in this blissful scene – Gruner’s affirmation of the landscape as the most important facet of this masterful work. The atmosphere is palpable; long shadows allude to the early time of day – a raw light often favoured by Gruner. The painting evokes a certain ephemerality, as if the tide will soon rise, consuming the lowly swathe of sand; the seated woman will surely raise and fold her parasol, continuing with the nearby figure for an amble along the beach. The solitary deckchair will not remain on the sand forever, and the light will change as the day progresses. It is this refreshing simplicity of elements – an impression of a calm Pacific morning – which marked Elioth Gruner as an artist of distinguished skill, worthy of receiving the Wynne Prize seven times across three decades of painting. The Silver Light of Summer Morn is a demonstration of nostalgia, and a celebration of local beauty. It references the theory of artist Max Meldrum who proposed tone as the most important element of any painting. Most importantly, however, is that Gruner painted the unpaintable: the element of light itself. Other fees apply in addition to the hammer price, please see the ‘Buyer’s Guide’ section on page 2

This sculpture of the Virgin Mary was purchased in 1891 by George Paterson Sutherland, founder of one of Scotland’s foremost sculpting and masonry firms, George Sutherland and Sons.

Conditions of Sale CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR BUYERS (UK) The Auctioneer carries on business with bidders, Buyers and all those present in the auction room prior to, or in connection with, a sale on the following General Conditions and on such other terms, conditions and notices as may be referred to herein. 1. DEFINITIONS In these Conditions of Sale (Buyers): “Auctioneer” means Lyon and Turnbull Ltd (Registered in Scotland No: 191166 | Registered address: 33 Broughton Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3RR) or its authorised auctioneer, as appropriate; “Hammer price” means the level of bidding reached (at or above any reserve) when the Auctioneer brings down the hammer; “High Cumulative Value of Lot” means several lots with a total lower estimate value of £30,000 or above; “High Value Lot” means a lot with a lower estimate of £30,000 or above; “Lot” means each Item offered for sale by Lyon and Turnbull; “Purchase Price” is the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer’s Premium; “Reserve” means the lowest price below which an item cannot be sold; “Total amount due” means the hammer price in respect of the lot sold together with any premium, Value Added Tax or other taxes chargeable and any additional charges payable by a defaulting Buyer under these Conditions; “You”, “Your” means the Buyer; “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon and Turnbull Ltd, The singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. 2. AGENCY We act as agent solely for and in the interests of the Seller. We do not act for Buyers in this role and do not give advice to Buyers. When we make a statement about a lot it is doing so on behalf of the Seller of the lot. The Auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by Sellers or Buyers. 3. B IDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER (a) Bidders are required to register their particulars before bidding and to satisfy any security and credit references or arrangements before entering the auction room to view or bid; (b) High Value Lots and High Cumulative Value of Lots: If you wish to bid on any High Value Lot (a lot with a lower estimate of £30,000 or above) or if you are bidding on several lots with a total lower estimate value of £30,000 or above, you are invited to complete the High Value Lot pre-registration. After you have successfully registered as a bidder with us, you should complete the High Value Lot pre-registration before the date of sale by contacting the Office Manager or on the date of sale at the
registration area. Unless otherwise agreed by us, you will be permitted to bid for High Value Lots only if we have confirmed your payment of deposit and your completion of the High Value Lot pre-registration before the sale. The Deposit required will be 10% of the lower estimate. Upon pre-registration, you should pay the deposit or such other sum as determined by us dependant on circumstances, by way of bank transfer or credit card(s) acceptable to us. Please note that we do not accept payment from third parties and this also applies to agents. If you are not successful in any bid and do not owe us any debt, the deposit will be refunded to you by way of wire transfer or such other methods as determined by us. Please make sure that you provide your bank details in the pre-registration form. The exchange rate provided to us by the bank on the date of exchange is final. We will arrange to refund the deposit to you within seven days after the date of sale, however we do not guarantee when you will receive the payment due to the variance in time for banks to process fund transfers. Upon successful pre-registration, you will be given a numbered High Value Lot paddle for identification purposes. The auctioneer will usually only accept bids made with the High Value Lot paddle or by its High Value Lot registered bidder. This applies to saleroom, telephone and absentee bids. We have the right to change the High Value Lot pre-registration procedures and requirements from time to time without notice. (c) 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. (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 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. 4. INCREMENTS Bidding increments shall be at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion. 5. THE PURCHASE PRICE For each lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 25% of the hammer price of each lot up to and including £100,000, plus 20% from £100,001 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. Live online bidding may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above. 6. RESERVES Unless indicated by a insert symbol (∆ ), all lots in this catalogue are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confidential hammer price established between us and the seller. The reserve is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate and will not exceed the low estimate for the lot. 7. 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. (b) Please note that we do not accept cash payments over £5,000. (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. 10. T ITLE 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.

11. 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. 12. 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 endeavour 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 us 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 us and the Buyer. The condition reports do not affect the Buyer’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 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. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item. (7) Wine: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, you affirm that you are at least that age. On collection, you must provide positive proof of age should this be requested. Buyers of wines must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine.
We can provide no guarantees as to how the wine may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the buyer must be made. Wine is sold “as is” and quality of the wine is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given. (8) 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. 13. 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, we make 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 we 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. 14. CITES Please be aware that all lots marked with the symbol Y may be subject to CITES regulations when exporting these items outside the EU. These regulations may be found at http:// www.defra.gov.uk/ahvla-en/importsexports/cites We accept no liability for any lots which may be subject to CITES but have not be identified as such. 15. 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. (c) We undertake to inform the Seller of any offers it receives in relation to an item prior to any Proposed Sale, excluding the normal method of commission bids. (d) For the purposes of a private treaty sale, if a lot is sold in any other currency than Sterling, the exchange rate is to be taken on the date of sale. 16. 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, during or after a sale. 17. GENERAL (a) We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person. (b) Any notice to any Buyer, Seller, bidder or viewer may be given by email if not available then first class mail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting. (c) Notices to us should be in writing and addressed to the Managing Director at 33 Broughton Place, Edinburgh EH1 3RR, quoting the reference number specified at the beginning of the sale catalogue. (d) Should any provision of these Conditions of Sale be held unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Buyer’s Premium paid for the lot by the original purchaser. This Guarantee does not apply if: (i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the opinion(s) of generally accepted scholar(s) and expert(s) at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or (ii) the only method of establishing that the Authorship was not as described in the Bold or Capitalised heading at the date of the sale would have been by means or processes not then generally available or accepted; unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely (in our reasonable opinion) to have caused damage to the lot or likely to have caused loss of value to the lot; or (iii) there has been no material loss in value of the lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description in the Bold or Capitalised type heading. This Guarantee is provided for a period of one year from the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of the lot at the auction and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Authenticity Guarantee, the original purchaser of the lot must: (i) notify us in writing within one month of receiving any information that causes the original purchaser of record to dispute the accuracy of the Bold or Capitalised type heading, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons for such dispute; and (ii) return the Lot to our registered office in the same condition as at the date of sale to the original purchaser of record and be able to transfer good title to the Lot, free from any third party claims arising after the date of such sale. We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements. We may require the original purchaser of the lot to obtain, at the original purchaser of lot’s cost, the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field. The reports must be mutually acceptable to us and the original purchaser of the lot. We shall not be bound by any reports produced by the original purchaser of the lot, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid (the successful hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law. Lyon and Turnbull and the Seller shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed, including without limitation, loss of profits or interest.
