The Selected Contents of Coul House, Auchterarder Coul House, a pretty, grade-C listed Georgian laird’s house, sits on an elevated position outside the Perthshire town of Auchterarder. Coul was bought in 1950 by Major David Kennard and his mother, Evelyn Mary Kennard, née Kennedy. Evelyn (1874-1955) was daughter of Lord David Kennedy and Lady Mary Boyle, sister of the 9th Earl of Cork, and married Lt. Col. Arthur Kennard (1867-1917). The Kennards were Falkirk ironmasters, partners in the Falkirk Iron Company. Lord David Kennedy (1820 -1905) was 4th son of Lord Archibald Kennedy, 12th Earl of Cassillis. The Kennedy family seats were Cassillis House, and Culzean Castle, both in Ayrshire, and some of the pieces in the family have been inherited from these houses through the Kennedy line. Other pieces have come through the Boyle connection in Ireland, as well as pieces obtained from other notable houses. The selection of items offered over the following pages provide the feel of a quintessential Scottish country house with pieces of different periods and countries of origin, ranging from the 17th century through the 19th and into the early 20th.

9 THE KENNEDY OF CASSILLIS FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR ENGRAVED MAP POWDER HORN 18TH CENTURY with later white metal mounts engraved DATE/ Sept. 5th 1760, the butt cover engraved with the heraldic crest for Kennedy of Cassillis; the horn displaying the British Royal Arms above a trophy and banner NEW YORK and a view of the skyline, the body of the horn engraved with a map of the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers, terminating at Lake Champlain and Lake Ontario, marked with the principal cities, towns, and forts, and a cartouche marked ‘JOHN COU/LTER HIS/ HORN MA/ DE BY SA/ M DAVIS’ 26cm long
£3,000-5,000
Note: Powder horns were necessary personal possessions in Colonial America. Engraving them became popular because soldiers experienced prolonged periods of waiting, as much of their time on an expedition would be spent sitting in a fort or around a campfire. Powder horns were ideally carved with gravers, although sometimes with needles or even slowly with small knives. When the engraver was happy with what he had done, he would rub the horn with grease, wax, or ash in order to make the engravings contrast against the light colour of the horn. Horns typically featured their owner’s name or, if the owner was illiterate or largely so, only their initials. They might also have had an educated fellow soldier engrave their name for them. War expeditions would have likely been seen as one of the most significant moments in men’s lives, and the horn would be a source of pride. Engraved powder horns were considered a great trophy and souvenir of service in the French and Indian, or Seven Years’ War by British officers and troops. Map engravings were particularly desirable, and the Mohawk and River Valleys examples are not uncommon, as they were of key importance to the early colonies. With much of the interior impassable or under Indian control, the water-level routes to the north up the Hudson River to the French-held territories, or West along the Mohawk to Lakes Oneida and Ontario, were considerably safer and quicker. In some cases a cottage industry developed where itinerant engravers would make horns for newly arrived soldiers from Britain, or for those heading home after a campaign. This present powder horn bears the owner’s name ‘John Coulter’, and the engraver, ‘Sam Davis’. While the connection of Coulter to the Kennedy family is currently unknown, by family repute the horn was owned by Archibald Kennedy, 11th Earl of Cassillis, a Captain in the Royal Navy based in New York. He returned to Scotland in 1792 upon inheriting the Culzean Estate in Ayrshire. The addition of the unmarked silver cap bearing the Kennedy of Cassillis coat-of-arms indicates the status assigned to it, while the date of September 5, 1760 on the plug collar is significant in the timeline of the French and Indian War. It is the day prior to the Siege of Montreal, where the French were beaten by the British forces, leading to the Treaty of Paris, which marked the end of French rule in North America. Interestingly, three similar powder horns were in the collection of the 11th Earl of Eglinton, also from Ayrshire, and were acquired while the Earl was serving with the British Army in America in the 1750s and 1760s. For similar powder horns see Herbert G. Houze, The Sumptuous Flask, Cody, Wyoming, 1989, cat. no. 36, and Stephen V. Grancsay, American Engraved Powder Horns, Philadelphia, 1976, cat. nos. 24, and 26-29 Other fees apply in addition to the hammer price, please see the ‘Buyer’s Guide’ section on page 2

Five Centuries: The Private Collection of G.S. May, Esquire
Note: Prince William, Duke of Cumberland (1721-1765) was the third and youngest son of King George III, gaining his title in 1726 at the age of four. He is best remembered for his role in defeating the Jacobite Rebellion at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, an event which earned him the title of ‘Butcher’ Cumberland from his Tory opponents. His military action was widely celebrated, particularly in the Lowlands of Scotland and the South of England where he was also branded ‘Sweet William’. This, however, proved to be the highlight of his military career, and in 1757 he diverted his attentions to politics and horse racing.

£1,000-1,500 Note: The armorial bearings are the lesser or abbreviated Royal Arms of the Kingdom of Spain. These arms probably refer to King Charles III of Spain (1716 -1788). He was the fifth son of King Philip V of Spain, and the eldest son of Philip’s second wife, Elisabeth Farnese. Upon the death of his granduncle Antonio Farnese in 1731, Charles became Charles I, Duke of Parma and Piacenza. He married Princess Maria Amalia of Saxony (1724-1760) in 1738, the daughter of King Augustus III of Poland and his wife, Archduchess Maria Josepha of Austria. During their marriage Charles and Maria had thirteen children, eight of whom survived into adulthood. He ascended to the Spanish throne in 1759 upon the death of his half-brother, King Ferdinand IV.

His work took him to Prague, where as a self-employed artisan he undertook private commissions for clients. He is well known for his portraits, wheel-engraved onto glass. The portraits depicted on this decanter are thought to show Jean Bernadotte, Marshal of France in 1804 and later King Charles XIV John of Sweden; Baron Mörner, a Swedish courtier and member of the Diet; and Désirée Clary, wife of Bernadotte and later Queen consort.

Note: In 1703 the Methuen Treaty established the trade relations between Portugal and England, allowing English woollen cloth to be admitted into Portugal free of duty. In return, Portuguese wines imported into England would be subject to a third less duty in contrast to French imported wines. This was particularly important with regards to the port industry. As England was at war with France it became increasingly difficult to acquire wine and so port started to become a popular replacement. In 1717 a first English trading post was established in Porto. The production of port wine then gradually passed into the hands of a few English firms. The neo-Palladian British Factory House in Porto became the centre of the English commercial and social presence in Porto, and English culture and taste became an influential part of Porto’s society. The increased presence of English port traders and merchants created a market for English influenced desigh, and furniture in the Chippendale, Hepplewhite, and Sheraton styles in the second half of the 18th century was in demand. While at first glance these pieces are recognisably English in nature, on closer examination the influence of local taste and workmanship becomes evident as these designs were interpreted through local hands. The present long set of chairs have a distinctly Hepplewhite feel with their oval backs and gathered pierced splats. However the seats are wider than one would expect to find on their English counterparts and the legs taper to a narrow point, creating the impression the chairs are balanced on their toes, in a manner not seen in English versions. It is rare to come across sets of Anglo-Portuguese chairs of this period, and highly unusual to find a set with this number intact.

Thwaites & Reed can trace their origins to the 17th century to the Thwaites family of clockmakers. Operating as Aynsworth Thwaites from the 1730s, the firm traded from various premises in Clerkenwell, London and were known for making a variety of domestic clocks as well as turret clocks, many still in use in public settings today. One of their earlier commissions was the turret clock at Horseguards Parade while other public clocks can be found in America, Australia, and South Africa. John Thwaites headed the firm from 1780-1816 and was master of the Clockmaker’s Company in 1815, 1819, and 1820. In 1816 he went into partnership with his nephew George Jeremiah Reed, with Thwaites remaining head of the firm until 1842. Thwaites & Reed were extremely prolific and supplied movements to other notable 19th century clock makers including Dutton, Dwerrihouse, Ellicott and Vulliamy.
This impressive large, giltbrass, mahogany clock was made circa 1820, during the inaugural years of the firm’s partnership. The clock doubly functions as a quarter-striking eight-day clock and a musical organ with a repertoire ranging from a waltz to a contradanza, illustrating the earlynineteenth-century fascination with uniting multiple technological mechanisms to create composite everyday objects of scientific innovation.

A Collection of Model Ships These model ships are part of a collection which formed an all-round display in the previous owner’s home which had a wide view over the Firth of Forth, underlining his interest in the sea, shipbuilding and ships. William Adam, who commissioned these works, was Leith born and bred and wanted to own scale models of the ships that he knew. He met Alan Berry-Robinson in London in 2008 and commissioned a model of SS Gothland in 2009, shortly followed by SS
Pharos and SS Sunniva in 2010. All were built in the builder’s-model style with gilded/silvered deck fittings on a carved timber hull, from original plans and photographs and, of course, Bill’s memory. The last commission was for MS Hubert in 2015. Alan Berry-Robinson has been restoring and building ship models for the past 30 years for dealers, private collectors and museums in the UK and overseas.
419 CASED MODEL OF THE CARGO LINER ‘HUBERT’ dated 1955, built by A.J. Berry Robinson for Mr. W. Adams Esq., the ship supplied to Builders Cammell Laird, Birkenhead, in a brass glazed case with ebonised base Ship 127cm long; overall 138cm long
£4,000-6,000
This passenger cargo liner was built for Booth Line by Cammell Laird & Co. Ltd, at Birkenhead. Named ‘Hubert’ she was launched on August 31, 1954 and after her fit-out she ran her sea trials early in January 1955.
Tourist Class had accommodation for 96 passengers who had cabins for two and four berths, most of which being outside and only some having private facilities. These were located on A and B Decks.
Her short mid-section superstructure was lined with two covered Promenade Decks and above an open Boat/Sports Deck. These decks provided her passengers with ample deck space for relaxation and sport facilities. The aft section also offered a covered deck and a topside recreation deck.
Her service continued, but like so many services with newer and more modern and larger passenger ships competing, the Hubert in due course was no longer profitable and there were other markets where she could be of better use within the greater Vestey Bros Shipping Group. Thus by 1964 she was withdrawn and placed on charter to one of their subsidiaries in Asia, the Austasia Line.
First Class had accommodation for 70 passengers in outside cabins and suites, all having a bathroom. There was a Lounge forward on Promenade Deck which was quite pleasantly wood panelled opening into a large Veranda. The Dining Room was below, both Promenade and Boat Decks were exclusive to First Class passengers.
The next twenty-four years saw a number of changes of owners, names and purposes for the ship, and she was eventually broken up in 1985.

This model may have been built from plans supplied by Harold Underhill. His well-known two volume work, ‘Plank-on-Frame Models’ was published in 1960 and shows details on how the full size ships were built. The models followed these working methods as closely as possible. In the Royal Museum in Greenwich is a model of the ‘Leon’ by Underhill himself, made in 1950, which shows the framing in progress.

Note: Built in 1868 for The Aberdeen Line, with 212 inches in length and weighing 991 tons, like all clippers, she was built for speed. Initially used for the China tea trade, she set speed records on her maiden voyage to Melbourne. She raced the Cutty Sark from Shanghai back to London and beat her by seven days, mainly owing to Cutty Sark losing her rudder; in other journeys the Cutty Sark beat her. In 1882 she transferred to the wool trade in Australia. 1897 saw her sold to Portugal as a naval training vessel and renamed to ‘Pedro Nunes’. After ten years she was retired and torpedoed with full military honours in 1907

Note: This elegant ‘table a ouvrage’ is modelled after the celebrated table reputedly made for Marie Antoinette on the occasion of the birth of the dauphin of France, Louis Joseph, in 1781. That table, now in the collection of the musee du Louvre, was previously attributed to the Jean-Henri Riesener, but is now considered to have been designed by Adam Weisweiler. Made for the 19th century luxury market, this table was interpreted by a number of important French 19th century makers including Henry Dasson, Paul Sormani and Beurdeley. Their designs differ slightly from the original model with the absence of the gilt bronze dolphin mount to the stretcher. The present version is truer to Weisweiler’s original. George-Francois Alix (1846-1906) was established at 6, rue de Charonne and moved to 6 bis, rue Richard Lenoir in 1878. He specialised in elegant and sophisticated furniture based on 18th century models and exhibited at the important international exhibitions including the Paris Expositions of 1884, 1885, and 1889.

(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 £300,000, plus 20% from £300,001 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
207
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. TITLE AND COLLECTION OF PURCHASES (1) The ownership of any lots purchased shall not pass to you until you have made payment in full to us of the total amount due. (2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than 7 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment whichever is later. We can provide you with a list of shippers. However, we will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers whether or not recommended by us. (3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for. (4) It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main sale room and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time. (5) Export of goods: Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character, e.g. items that may contain prohibited materials such as ivory or rhino horn. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence or any delay in obtaining licences shall neither justify the recession of any sale not any delay in making full payment for the lot.

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) Alcohol: 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. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for
natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol 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. (e) These Conditions of Sale are not assignable by either party without the other’s prior written consent. No act, omission or delay by us shall be deemed a waiver or release of any of its rights. (f) The contract between the parties may be varied by the parties by agreement and in writing. 18. AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE We guarantee that the authorship, period, or origin (collectively, “Authorship”) of each lot in this catalogue is as stated in the BOLD or CAPITALISED type heading in the catalogue description of the lot, as amended by oral or written saleroom notes or announcements. We make no warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to any material in the catalogue other than that appearing in the Bold or Capitalised heading and subject to the exclusions below. In the event Lyon and Turnbull in its reasonable opinion deems that the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall
Five Centuries
refund to the original purchaser of the lot the hammer price and applicable 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.
19. DATA PROTECTION In connection with the management and operation of our business and the marketing and supply of our services, or as required by law, we may ask the Buyer to provide personal information about themselves or obtain information about the Buyer from third parties (e.g. credit information).
