£4,000-6,000

Footnote: This necklace was retailed and possibly made by Ernest J. Lowe of London who in 1905 took over the business of Frank Hyams formerly of Dunedin, New Zealand. Hyams introduced silver and decorative objects set with “Maori Greenstone” (nephrite jade or “pounamu”) into London society. Amongst Hyams clients was Leopold de Rothschild (1845- 1917) who’s public appreciation for “greenstone” help propel it to international demand.

Ernest J. Lowe took over the Hyam firm, now based at 128 New Bond Street, in 1905. Even by the mid 1930s Lowe’s letterhead listed the firm as “Specialists in Pearls, Diamonds, Precious Stones, New Zealand Greenstone, Oriental Jades”. The exotic nature of this pendant would be fitting for a designer specialising in international taste and gemstones.

The design of this jewel represents the influx of Indian motifs and themes into the highest pedigree of European and British jewellery in the first decades of the 20th century.

Provenance: By repute, from the private collection of a late well known London-based art historian. Hence by descent.

Footnote: Prince Frederick Duke of York and Albany (1763-1827) was the second of fifteen children of King George III and Queen Charlotte. Now known as “the Grand old Duke of York”, he is most famous for his military career, both the highs and lows. In 1799 as a young commander he suffered military setbacks which led to the creation of the nursery rhyme “Grand old Duke of York”. However spurned on by these difficulties, when he became Commander-in-Chief of the British Army shortly thereafter, he instigated wide sweeping reforms which transformed the efficiency of the British military. Moved by the plight of orphaned children during the Napoleonic Wars, he took on humanitarian endeavours including the foundation of the Royal Military Asylum in Chelsea, London (now the Duke of York’s Headquarters).

The carving of this intaglio is based on a marble bust by Sir Francis Chantrey (1781-1841). The bust was commissioned for the Junior United Service Club in 1835-36, demonstrating the Duke’s remarkable legacy.

ARTHUR THOMAS PENNIALL: A PAIR OF ETRUSCAN REVIVAL PENDENT EARRINGS, CIRCA 1865

Set with a line of white coral beads, within a tubular framework decorated with fine wirework detailing, suspending a trio of spherical accents, unsigned, UK registry marks, post fittings, length 5.4cm

Footnote: These earrings rather unusually bear UK Registry Marks allowing us to attribute them to the goldsmith and jeweller Arthur Thomas Penniall of 53 Frederick Street, Gray’s Inn Road, London. Penniall’s registry submission list this design as “ornamental design for an earring, or other articles of jewellery”.

The Design Copyright Act of 1939 allowed designers to protect their designs for three years from being reproduced. Although previously used for textile patterns and sculptural elements, in 1842 jewellery was incorporated into this protection through the Ornamental Designs Act. The system was in place from 1842 to 1883 and the records are all now held by the National Archives in Kew, London.

WILHELM SCHMIDT: A BOULDER OPAL CAMEO PENDANT/ BROOCH, LATE 19TH CENTURY

The large oval opal and opal matrix cameo, carved to depict a warrior in profile looking right, within an engraved border with geometric detailing, unsigned, cameo 7.0 x 4.2cm, pendant length 9.6cm

Footnote: Wilhelm Schmidt (1845-1938) was a German cameo carver, born in the global centre of gem cutting, Idar Oberstein. In 1874 he pioneered a novel new technique of carving opal cameos to also display the natural gem matrix. This use of the original opal matrix, traditionally discarded by carvers, allows for depth of field in the cameos. This technique lets the opal’s play of colour spring forth against a dark background. The first example of Schmidt’s opal carvings was exhibited by John Brogden at the Paris Exhibition in 1878. Although by this time the trend for cameos was in decline, the admiration for Schmidt’s unique work garnered him many high profile patrons and admirers such as the late Victorian art critic John Ruskin. Schmidt very rarely signed his work but this cameo is highly representative of his style. In particular the imagery of various exotic and classical warriors, and the delicate carving of feathers.

Footnote: This necklace is inspired by an ancient Etruscan necklace found in Ruvo di Puglia, Italy in the early 19th century and exhibited at the Archaeological Museum (previously known as the Museo Borbonico) in Naples. The original necklace was one of the most famous jewels in the collection and was widely copied by contemporary jewellers. A 19th century version of that Etruscan necklace is part of the permanent collection at the British Museum, London.

GEORGINA FOLLETT: A PAIR OF ENAMEL FLORAL EARRINGS, 1981-82

Each designed as a cascading line of plique-à-jour enamel flowerheads, with ruby beads and seed pearls, to a wirework gingko leaf finial, hook fittings, unsigned, length 3.5cm

Footnote: Ingeborg Bratman (1935-2015) was born in Vienna but fled Nazi occupation when she was just a small child. Her family settled in Huddersfield, Yorkshire in 1940 and established a successful textile business. Initially Bratman joined the family business as a textile designer but later she retrained as a jeweller at Hornsey School of Art under Gerda Flöckinger in the mid 1960s. She then progressed to selling her jewellery through the famed London shop Cameo Corner amongst other artist fine jewellery retailers. Her work is particularly notable for its use of unusual materials such as tantalum, an incredibly demanding material to work with, but that allows a unique display of colour.

Provenance: These earrings were retailed as part of a selling exhibition of the artist Georgina Follett’s work at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London from 26th January to 1 May 1983. Accompanied by the original V&A catalogue.

Footnote: Georgina Follett (b. 1949) trained at the Central School of Art & Design and Royal College of Art. Follett took part in the Goldsmiths’ Hall exhibition “Loot” in 1980, collaborated with the fashion designer Thea Porter for her show at Covent Garden in 1975, and has been exhibited widely ever since. Follett’s pieces use the challenging plique-à-jour enamelling technique, a practiced that saw its peek in the early 20th century with artists such as Lalique, Feuillâtre and Prytz. This technically demanding method, where the enamel doesn’t have a solid metal ground, making it completely translucent, is most similar to stained glass in a church window. She believes in meticulous craftsmanship, and makes every element by hand. The firing process is repeated up to five times and ultimately the fine suspension of enamel in water is what provides the strength that supports the fragile gold framework. Her work can be found in the permanent collection of the V&A Museum, London. (M.46&A-1982)

£1,200-1,800

Footnote: Jacqueline Mina OBE (b. 1942) is a celebrated British artist jeweller. She’s been an innovator in the use of mix metals, particularly the fusion of platinum and gold, since the late 1980s. Examples of her work can be found in the permanent collections of the National Museum of Scotland, the Victoria & Albert Museum and The Goldsmith Company in London and the Smithsonian Design Museum in New York.

In 2000, Mina won the Jerwood Prize for Applied Arts: Jewellery for her “consistent innovation and significant contribution to contemporary jewellery … for subverting and taking precious metal techniques to the extreme.”

Mina attributes the origin of this ‘platinum fusion-inlay’ to visiting the Fortuny Palazzo in Venice, Italy where she took inspiration from the faded dévoré velvet drapes.

Of sinuous twisting design, signed VCA, maker’s marks P&Fils for Péry et Cie, numbered, French assay marks, length 6.5cm

Footnote: The workshop of Péry et Cie began making jewellery in 1875. However it was the founder’s son Albert Péry that propelled the firm into the world of high fine jewellery.

Amongst the many jewellers of the Place Vendôme that Albert developed relationships with, including Boucheron and Chaumet, Van Cleef & Arpels was the most significant. Péry’s first work for VCA was a bracelet made in 1925.

The Péry workshop was highly regarded within the high jewellery manufacturing industry, not just for their suburb artistry but also their technical innovations. None of which is better exemplified than their collaborative creation of the Zip necklace. Originally requested by Wallis Simpson, the project took years to perfect the technical creation. Other exceptional VCA projects to come from the Péry workshops include the Ludo bracelets, the ‘passe-partout’ jewels and many of the La Boutique animal brooches.

AN ENAMEL SEAL, CIRCA 1910-1930

FORMERLY OWNED BY JOSEPHINE BAKER

Of bulbous form, decorated throughout with royal blue guilloché enamel, highlighted towards the base by a single band of red enamel, the stamper engraved “Josephine Baker”, unidentified assay mark, height 6.2cm

Provenance: Gifted to Josephine Baker from an admirer. Then in the private collection of a well-known Munich Consul General who was a personal friend of Baker. Josephine Baker made her debut in Berlin as the “Black Venus” in 1926 and that is likely where the relationship formed. From his personal collection sold at auction in 1996 in Munich, Lot 3408.

£2,500-3,000

Footnote: Josephine Baker (1906-1975) was born Freda Josephine McDonald in St. Louis, Missouri. Her mother worked as a washerwoman and the identity of her father has never been confirmed. Her childhood was one of great hardship and deprivation. At the age of 8 she worked as a domestic servant, a role in which she was abused. By the age of 12 she was living on the streets and working as a dancer, at times just on street corners. She married at just 13 but the marriage didn’t last a full year. At that time she began a performance touring career as a dancer and comic. She remarried in 1921, aged 15, to William Howard Baker, and despite their divorce in 1925, Josephine retained the name Baker for the remainder of her life.

By 1923 Baker had appeared as part of the chorus in her first Broadway production, Shuffle Along. However her career did not really take off until she travelled to France in 1925. Her performances at the Théatre des Champs-Elysees caused a sensation. She became amongst the highest paid performers in Europe. Her career continued to escalate and in 1934 she stared in the French film Zouzou, the first major film with a black woman in the leading role.

Baker’s career became solidified in France. The racial injustices she witnessed in her home country of the United States ultimately led her to give up her U.S. citizenship and became a naturalised French citizen. From very early on in her career Baker undertook philanthropic giving, particularly around the plight of children.

Image reversed

At the outbreak of World War II in France, Baker entertained French troops, was a member of the Red Cross and ultimately became a member of the French Resistance. She was a valued member of the Deuxième Bureau, the French military intelligence agency. Her role as an entertainer allowed her to mix in wide social circles and travel internationally without arousing suspicion. Following the war she was highly decorated for her services.

In the 1950s Baker continued her work as an internationally acclaimed entertainer although she was never to reach the level of fame in the United States as she did throughout Europe and North Africa. She refused to preform to segregated crowds and fought against racism both as a performer and as a member of society. She was awarded a lifetime membership to the NAACP. In 1963 she spoke alongside Dr Martin Luther King Jr. as part of the March on Washington, the only female speaker at the event.

Her quest to end racism, coupled with her own personal inability to have children, led her to form her “Rainbow Tribe” at her home, the Château des Milandes, in the Dordogne area of France. Baker adopted twelve children, two girls and ten boys, from various nationalities and religions to prove that “children of different ethnicities and religions could still be brothers.”

Late in life, from 1968 to 1975, Baker returned to the stage performing in Paris, Carnegie Hall in New York and the Royal Variety Performance in London. Her final performance was a retrospective show in Paris, financed by Prince Rainer, Princess Grace, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. She was found unconscious in bed four days later, surrounded by newspapers containing rave reviews for her performance. Josephine Baker died a few days later from a brain haemorrhage while in hospital.

JOHN DONALD: A GOLD AND CULTURED PEARL ‘DRUM’ RING, 1969

The 11.4mm cultured pearl, within a textured 18 carat gold surround and band, maker’s mark JAD, London hallmark, ring size L½

Footnote: John Donald (1928-2023) pioneered many techniques throughout his ground-breaking career. The organic form of the “Drum” ring was developed from the use of what he referred to as “nugget flakes”. The unique segments came from dropping molten gold into cold water. The “flakes” were then soldered together to form a series and then rolled to form the segments of the ring. An exceptional combination of artistry and craftsmanship.

A similar, but later, ring is illustrated in John Donald & Russell Cassleton Elliott’s Precious Statements; John Donald, designer . jeweller, McNidder & Grace, Carmarthen, 2015, page 211. Another similar ring, made by Donald in 1976, is part of the V&A Museum’s permanent collection (V&A ref: M.17-2006).

BURLE MARX FOR KIM POOR: A GREEN TOURMALINE RING

The elongated oval fantasy-cut green tourmaline, within a tiered collect setting, between bi-furcated shoulders, signed Kim Poor, ring size L

Footnote: Haroldo Burle Marx (1911-1991), was one of the most famous Brazilian jewellery designers. Haroldo was known for his freeform fantasy gemstone carving, predominately of Brazilian gemstones, having trained in Idar-Oberstein, Germany. His modern and pioneering take on jewellery encompasses a feeling of movement and vitality championing the soul of his homeland. In the mid 20th century, Marx was frequently asked by the Brazilian government to create unique works as gifts for visiting dignities, so much so did his work encapsulate contemporary Brazilian design. Works by Marx were in the collections of Queen Margrethe of Denmark, Empress Nagako of Japan and the actress Natalie Wood. In 2011, contemporary Brazilian artist and goldsmith Kim Poor (b. 1954) was asked to create a new collection making use of a selection for over forty gems carved by Marx. “This collection is known to be the very last of his gems, discovered years after his death in a box under his bed by his grand-daughter and passed to Kim Poor to honour Burle Marx’s memory.” Like Marx, Poor created a one off unique setting for each gemstone, reflecting its unique shape and vitality.

£400-600

Footnote: This portrait of Yolette Leconte Magloire was painted by the African-American artist Lois Mailou Jones (1905-1998), an important figure in the Harlem Renaissance movement. Her connection with Haiti developed through her husband, Louis Vergniaud PierreNoel, who was a prominent Haitian artist whom she meet while they were both studying at Columbia University, New York.

Already an established artist, in 1954 she was a guest professor at the Centre D’Art and Foyer des Artes Plastiques in Portau-Prince, Haiti. While there, she was invited by the Haitian government to capture the local people and the country’s landscapes through her painting. She completed over forty two paintings there, which became representative of her most well known works. Yolette Leconte Magloire sponsored Jones’ exhibition Oeuvres des Loïs Mailou Jones Pierre-Noël where the breadth of her work was shown.

The portrait of Leconte featuring these earrings (lot 150) as well as the bracelet (lot 149) was one of a pair, the other being of her husband President Paul Magloire and was actually commissioned by US President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1955.

Painting reproduced with thanks to the family.

Provenance: Yolette Leconte Magloire was First Lady of Haiti from 1950 to 1956. She was a direct descendant of Jean-Jacques Dessalines (17581806), the former slave who ultimately became leader of the Haitian Revolution, founder and leader of an independent Haiti.

At just 19 years old, Yolette Leconte married Paul Eugene Magloire (1907-2001) who would become the 30th President of Haiti. The election in 1950 was the first in the nation’s history where all adult males had a right to vote. After gaining office, Magloire oversaw women’s suffrage being granted. During his presidency, Haiti became one of the most popular Caribbean destinations for American and European tourists. Magloire and Leconte

emphasised public works and cultural projects during this time. In 1951, the Madame Paul E. Magloire Foundation was created to establish two solid educational and professional training institutions for young girls in Haiti, L’ecoles des arts menagers of Saint Martin and Cap-Haitien. Yolette Leconte Magloire was also known for her charity banquets and balls, the proceeds of which were used to fund hospitals and orphanages. Magloire’s anti-communist position helped create close ties with the U.S. In early 1955, Leconte and Magloire were invited on a State Visit to Washington D.C. They were welcomed by then Vice President Richard Nixon and were received by President Eisenhower at the White House.

£300-500

Paul Magloire (1907-2001) was the 30th President of Haiti. The election in 1950 was the first in the nation’s history where all adult males had a right to vote; Magloire won by a landslide victory. After gaining office, Magloire oversaw women’s suffrage being granted. Unusually Magloire focused on long term infrastructure projects, not short term wins during his presidency, including the building of roads, the country’s first damn and the development of electricity networks. These works and a buoyant economy helped make Haiti one of the most popular Caribbean destinations for American and European tourists during this period. Truman Capote, Irving Berlin and Noel Coward all visited during the period.

Magloire’s anti-communist position helped build close ties with the U.S. and he was very popular with American media. In 1954 he was on the front cover of Time magazine in a lengthy article titled “Bon Papa”. In early 1955, Magloire and Leconte were invited for a State Visit to Washington D.C. They were welcomed by then Vice President Richard Nixon and were received by President Eisenhower at the White House. In addition to various social engagements, Magloire also addressed a joint session of Congress.

Magloire had to leave his homeland after his term in office came to an end and lived in New York in exile for decades. The political dictatorship which followed his peaceful, free term as presidency made it impossible for him to return until 1986. Ultimately he was able to return to Haiti, where at the age of 91 he was even made an unofficial military advisor. Following his death in 2001, he was awarded a state funeral. The Guardian’s obituary described his presidency “as Haiti’s last golden age”. 152

VAN CLEEF & ARPELS: A COMMEMORATIVE DIAMOND PENDANT / BROOCH, 1956

Footnote: In 1956, thirty five countries were invited to be part of the 130th anniversary of the Panamanian Congress, originally held in 1826. Nineteen countries took part in what was ultimately mostly a ceremonial event.

It’s likely that these pendants were personalised for each First Lady, meaning that in total only nineteen were ever made by VCA in New York. Currently there is no record of any other of these pendants coming on to the open market.

DIAMOND GUIDE

Historically many gemstones have been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance. Certain enhancements, such as heating, are commonly used to improve colour or transparency in rubies and sapphires. Emeralds are also frequently treated, usually with oils or resin, for the same purpose. Other methods, including staining, dyeing, coating or irradiation, may have been used on other gemstones including Jade and associated hardstone that may have been bleached (usually in acid), polymer/resin filled or dyed, or a combination of any of these treatments. The international jewellery trade has generally accepted these methods.

Heat enhancement of colour is usually permanent, however, in some cases; this may have an impact on the durability of the gemstone. Gemstones that have been oiled may require reoiling after a number of years in order to retain their optimum appearance.

It is, in suitable cases, Lyon & Turnbull’s policy to obtain gemmological reports from internationally recognised gemmological laboratories describing certain gemstones sold

GIA CIBJO

D

Exceptional White + (EW+)

by Lyon & Turnbull. In the event that Lyon & Turnbull have been given, or have obtained, reports for any lot in the sale these reports will be mentioned in the catalogue description. However, it is not feasible for Lyon & Turnbull to obtain a gemmological report for each gemstone offered for sale by Lyon & Turnbull. If no report is published in the catalogue prospective buyers should assume that the gemstones may have been enhanced by some method. However, please note that there may not be consensus between different laboratories on the degrees or types of treatment for any particular gemstone. Prospective buyers should be aware that Lyon & Turnbull’s pre-sale estimates assume that gemstones may have been subjected to such treatments.

ALL DIMENSIONS, WEIGHTS ARE APPROXIMATE.

DIAMOND GRADING TERMS

Where printed in the catalogue, estimated diamond grades for colour and clarity are intended as guides for prospective buyers. Lyon & Turnbull do not guarantee these estimated grades due to the limitations of mounts and settings.

A. BEFORE THE SALE

1. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS

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. All dimensions and weights are approximate only.

2. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS

We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the extent provided below.

(a) 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.

(b) 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.

(c) 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.

3.

WITHDRAWAL

Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw.

4.

JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS

(a) Jewellery:

(i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future.

(ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for

any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report.

(iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report.

(iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.

(b) 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. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys.

(c) 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.

(d) 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.

(e) 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.

(f) 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.

1. THE PURCHASE PRICE

For each Lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 26% of the Hammer Price of each Lot up to and including £20,000, plus 25% from £20,001 to £500,000, plus 20% from £500,001 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.

2. 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.

(a) 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.

(b) 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

outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.

(c) 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 outwit the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above.

3. ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY (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. The charge for works of art sold at and above £1,000 and below £50,000 is 4%. For items selling above £50,000, 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. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk.

E. WARRANTIES

If either other above warranties are incorrect, the Seller shall not have to pay more than the Purchase Price (as defined in the glossary) paid by You to us.

The Seller gives no warranty in relation to any Lot other than as set out above and, as far as the Seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the Seller to You, and all obligations upon the Seller which may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded.

2. 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 we, in our reasonable opinion, deem that the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall 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:

(a) 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

(b) 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

(c) 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:

(a) 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 (b) 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 & 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.

(b) Where You are bidding on behalf of another person You warrant that:

(i) You have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate Buyer(s) of the Lot(s) in accordance with all relevant antimoney laundering legislation, consent to us relying on this due diligence, and You will retain for a period of not less than five years the documentation evidencing the due diligence. You will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by a third party auditor upon our written request to do so;

(ii) The arrangements between You and the ultimate Buyer(s) in relation to the Lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes, and;

(iii) You do not know, and have no reason to suspect that the funds used for settlement are connected with the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate Buyer(s) are under investigation or have been charged with or convicted of moneylaundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.
