Sealed bid- How it works Our sealed bid auctions close at 4.oopm on the day after the live auction, but are on view at the same time and are included in the same catalogue with an illustration, description and estimate. Clients wishing to leave bids should do so in writing or by emailing a signed scanned page detailing lot numbers, brief description and the bid(s) which they wish to leave. All clients should also have registered with us beforehand and provided photographic identification.

Sealed bids, when placed by telephone, are accepted only at the the caller’s risk and must be confirmed by letter or e-mail to info@summersplaceauctions.com. You can also e-mail the completed sealed bid form to sealedbids@summersplaceauctions.com Next give us your bid(s). This can be done by filling in the bidding slip found in your catalogue.

If you are sending your bidding slip to Summers Place Auctions by post, please mark the envelope “Sealed Bid” so that we know it contains a sealed bid and do not open it accidentally. Bids and IDs may also be sent by e-mail. If you choose to send the bid electronically please email sealedbids@summersplaceauctions.com. This is a closed mailbox and will not be opened before the advertised time. However, we strongly recommend that if you have not viewed the sale in person, that you ask for condition reports on any lots you are thinking of leaving bids on.

Sealed bid auctions differ from established auctions in that the bid left is the bid that will be exercised in full. Therefore, if you decide to leave a bid of, say, £900 on the lot estimated at £800-1000 and there is no higher bid (where two identical bids are received, the earliest received bid will take precedence), £900 will secure the lot subject to buyer’s premium and VAT on the premium.

We will contact you if you have been the successful bidder to inform you of the lot or lots that you have purchased, so that you can make payment and make arrangements for delivery. We have had many years of experience dealing with both UK carriers and international shippers and are happy to obtain quotations and facilitate transport and shipping of single lots and multiple purchases to anywhere in the world.

Bids will be opened on Thursday 22nd March; and sales results will appear on the Summers Place Auctions website. Please be mindful that we will have to process a large number of bids, which does take time. However, we will endeavour to get this accomplished as quickly as possible and will expect to have the results of the sale posted by the end of the day.

If you have never bid in a sealed bid sale before, here are some things to be aware of as regards leaving bids for this auction: Every lot in the sale has a fixed reserve, (the minimum price for which the lot can be sold) and this is never above the low estimate, it can be slightly below, but in the vast majority of cases it is the low estimate.

The highest bid (as long as it is on or above the reserve) will be the winning bid. This is the ‘hammer price’ that the lot will be sold for.

You should consider leaving a bid of an odd amount in pounds, for example, rather that bidding £1,000, try say £1,004, as many lots have been bought for the sake of the odd £1!

You can tailor your bid in ways that are impossible to do in a live auction. For example, if you really like three lots, but only need one, and the piece you like the most is later in the sale, simply mark your order of preference. As long as your instructions are clear, having looked at any other bids left on the lots, we will do our best to comply with your preferences.

In the event of two identically highest bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence.

An auction price is made up of different components; the winning bid is called the ‘hammer price’; A commission, which is in addition to the ‘hammer price’ is payable to the auctioneers.

This is known as the buyers premium, on which VAT is payable. Lots marked with p are subject to Artist Resale Right (ARR), which is 4% of the “hammer price”. All lots that have additional VAT are clearly marked in the catalogue with a †.

Sealed bid auction Lots 200-567 All sealed bids must be with us, at the latest by 4pm GMT on the 13th June since the bids will be opened on the 14th June. The winning bid will be the highest left on each lot above the reserve. Bids are non sequential and the highest bid left is the price at which the lot is sold plus buyers premium and any VAT liable. In the event of two identical winning bids being left on the same lot, the earliest received bid shall take precedence. Summers Place Auctions decision on which is the winning bid shall be final. Winning bidders will be invoiced after the bids are opened. For further information on sealed bids and how they work see our conditions of business.

A very well preserved antique corker originally manufactured in Paris.

Its large size is quite unusual. The large original wooden handle provided the leverage to easily plunge corks into the bottle. One by one, a bottle is placed on the iron platform and the lever cracks down to plunge the cork into the bottle. Any spilt wine was collected in the basin underneath. It is marked LA MEILLEURE on its vertical support, which means ‘the best’, and ECHAUDER LES BOUCHONS, ‘fire to corks’, around its bowl.

Although using cork wood to cork wine was in use since the 1600 (started by Dom Perignon) it wasn’t until the last quarter of the 19th century that the wine bottling industry really expanded. Production boomed between 18901917, the industrial workforce more than doubled and by 1930 it has increased five-fold, to a total of 10,000 workers.

This particular wine corker was most likely made and used in a winery in France during this period.

Mechanically advanced yet endearingly rustic, this corker perfectly embodies the time - honoured traditions of French wine-making. £700-900

Outdoor tombs were surmounted by carved turbans, giving them an almost human presence.

Particular details in the carving would provide an insight into the lives

of the deceased. The appearance of the rose within the material folds, for example, might suggest affiliation with the Qadriyyah order of Dervishes. Turbans of the orfi type such as these were worn by members of the religious elite.

When a gold coin is inserted it dispenses pots of change with an equivalent value and once emptied the pots can be returned through a small opening in the door.

The total value of its contents was more than sixty pounds, which was a large sum in 1890, when compared to the annual wage for a shopkeeper or clerk was less than £50 and a common labourer would earn three shillings and nine pence per week.

This nicely cast and functionally ingenious example is, in effect, the Victorian forerunner of the ATM or hole in the wall cash machine.

401 A lead figure of Punch circa 1900 on associated stone plinth 160cm high The Punch and Judy show can trace its roots to the 16th century to Italy.

The figure of Punch derives from the stock character of Pulcinella, which was Anglicized to Punch. He is a manifestation of the Lord of Misrule and Trickster figures of deep-rooted mythologies. Punch’s wife was originally “Joan”.

9th May 1662 is the day traditionally reckoned as Punch’s UK birthday, for that was the first recorded date on which the figure who later became Mr. Punch was seen in England. The diarist Samuel Pepys observed a show featuring an early version of the Punch character in Covent Garden in London. It

was performed by an Italian puppet showman, Pietro Gimonde. Pepys described the event in his diary as “an Italian puppet play, that is within the rails there, which is very pretty.” In the British “Punch and Judy” show Punch wears a jester’s motley and is a hunchback whose hooked nose almost meets his curved jutting chin. £3000-5000 402 † A lead figure of a child mid 20th century, 66cm high £250-400 403 A lead figure of a putto representing Summer late 19th century, 68cm high £500-800

Until his death in 1787 he was the leading producer of lead statuary. Contemporary accounts of his yard, which was situated on Hyde Park Corner indicate that his oeuvre was very varied and included rustic figures as well as classical statues and busts from antiquity. During the 18th Century, masked balls or fete champetres set in Arcadian settings of country houses or in London’s Ranelagh and Vauxhall pleasure gardens, were immensely popular.

These were attended by fashionable society dressed as milkmaids, fruit and flower girls or in the costume of the commedia dell’arte.

Most popular of all, however, were the costumes of a shepherd or shepherdess. Numerous contemporary references to their popularity remain. The Spectator of 1711 recounts: “There is not a girl in town but let her have her will in going to a masque and she

shall dress as a shepherdess.” J.T. Smith in his “Life of Nollekens” tells of a visit he paid with Nollekens and his wife to an old lady, “quite the old school,” who lived near Hamstead Heath.” Her evergreens were cut into the shapes of various birds, and Cheere’s leaden painted figures of a Shepherd and Shepherdess were objects of as much admiration with her neighbours as they were with my Lord Ogleby, who thus accosts his friend in the second scene of the popular current comedy ‘Clandestine Marriage’: ‘Great improvements, indeed Mr Stirling, Wonderful Improvements! .......You have as many figures as the man at Hyde Park Corner”

A similar figure may be seen in the recently restored Grecian Valley at Stowe where a circle of shepherds and shepherdesses surround a bronze Faun. £1500-2500

He was commissioned by Ferdinando II de Medici from Giambologna’s one-time assistant Pietro Tacca (1577-1640). The model being based on the Antique, the animal plant and insect strewn base is pure Renaissance invention and forms a pool for the water to collect from the boar’s mouth. His nose, like the foot of the statue of St Peter’s in Rome, is worn smooth by the many hands stroking for good luck.

Originally intended for the Boboli Gardens, another replica by the same foundry resides in the Mercato Nuovo, with the original now removed to the Uffizi Museum. £20,000-40,000 For details of our buyers premium which is added onto the hammer price together with any other applicable charges please refer to our guide for prospective buyers

429 p Maida Crowe A carved Forest of Dean stone figure 203cm high Maida Crowe was born in Axminster, Devon in 1915.

After a private education, she studied at the City and Guilds of London Art School from 1957-1962. She became a member of the Free Painters and Sculpture movement working in both wood and stone. Established in 1952, FPS was originally associated with the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts). Founding members featured many high profile and influential artists, including Roy Rasmussen, Lyall Watson and Maurice Jadot. FPS played a significant part in the establishment of abstract art in the 1950’s and 60’s and was the first of a number of post war movements that freed artists from the orthodoxy of rigid and purely technical judgements.

In 1981 there was an exhibition of sculpture by Maida Crowe in Southwark Cathedral.

Roy Rasmussen in the preface to the History of Free Painters and Sculptors commented; “Her wood carvings were at home in any modern collection, and graced many FPS exhibitions. But the deeper implication of her sculptures was religious; and for her it was appropriate that they should be shown in the place where she worshipped. She worked mainly on a scale of two to six feet. Her sculptures were not overtly religious, she did not use obvious religious symbols. A woman who was comfortable and tolerant in the company of diverse opinions, she could reveal a sparkling humour.”

“She was passionately involved in the endless debate over forms of modern expression. She described her own work as an inward search.”

She showed at the RBA as well as in the provinces and had solo exhibitions at the Cockpit and Loggia galleries.

A copy of Maida Crowe’s book of her work; First and Last: A Search for Meaning, A Spiritual Journey Through Sculpture in 1994 is included in this lot which gives a full account of the carving of this statue and the placing of it in her garden. £1000-2000

p 446 A unique polished stainless steel Archimedes water feature by William Pye Originally commissioned in 1997 for the West Indian Quay in London’s docklands.

Archimedes is made of mirror-polished stainless steel, and is named after the ‘Archimedes Screw’ developed by the pre-eminent Greek mathematician and inventor, Archimedes (287-212 BC). The sculpture takes the form of a giant corkscrew (4.5metres in length) which emerges from the water whilst slowly turning to lift water to the top before disgorging it on to a stainless-steel cone which also seems to rise from the water, although it is in fact static. Originally conceived to float on the water with a complex system of buoyancy tanks, it can now be easily placed in a pond or lake. It was removed due to redevel-

opment a few years ago. The engineers who originally installed can facilitate its installation anywhere in the world.

William Pye is known internationally today for his innovative sculpture with water; for more than four decades he has worked on private and public commissions, both in Britain and abroad, and it is appropriate that his twin cones, the Slipstream and Jetstream water sculptures of the late 1980s, are seen by thousands of travellers at Gatwick Airport every day. Pye was born in London in 1938 and, after National Service, attended Wimbledon School of Art from 1958 to 1961, and then spent three years in the Sculpture School at the Royal College of Art studying with Bernard Meadows. After leaving the RCA in 1965, he had an eight-year series of successful oneman exhibitions at the Redfern Gallery. In the 1960s and 1970s he taught in London at the Central School of Art

and at Goldsmiths’ College of Art; and also at Norwich School of Art, and in the USA as Visiting Professor at California State University.

Public collections holding Pye’s works include the Arts Council of Great Britain; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Contemporary Arts Society; Greater London Council; University of Warwick; Graves City Art Gallery, Sheffield; Middlesbrough City Art Gallery; National Museum of Wales; Wakefield Art Gallery; Birmingham City Art Gallery; Aberdeen Art Gallery; and the Government Art Collection. He has exhibited in the USA, Hong Kong, Japan, France and Italy, notably in Turin and in Venice at the Peggy Guggenheim Museum.

494 An ancestor skull Dayak Tribe on wooden stand 30cm high The Dayak, from Borneo are feared for their ancient tradition of headhunting practices. They believe in a “sacred jar,” which is only to be opened by Dayak warriors, who have obtained a human head, or can present a human head, which was acquired in a fight; or by a warrior who has returned from a sojourn into enemy territory.

As a practice, headhunting has been the subject of intense discussion within the anthropological community as to its possible social roles, functions, and motivations. Themes that arise in anthropological writings about headhunting include mortification of the rival, ritual violence, cosmological balance, the display of manhood, cannibalism, prestige, and as a means of securing the services of the victim as a slave in the afterlife. Contemporary scholars generally agree that its primary function was ceremonial and that it was part of the process of structuring, reinforcing, and defending hierarchical relationships between communities and individuals. Some experts theorize that the practice stemmed from the belief that the head contained “soul matter” or life force, which could be harnessed through its capture.

The Iban Dayak’s “Ngayau” ritual headhunting rules specify that the first time a warrior takes a head or captures a prisoner, he must present that head or captive to his superior to acknowledge his leadership. In addition, the Dayak Ngayau headhunting regulations dictate that if a warrior takes two heads or captives, one must be given to his leader; the other is kept by the warrior responsible for the kill or capture. £2000-3000

504 A pair of Tibetan snowcocks by Rowland Ward circa 1883 103cm high by 76cm wide by 31cm deep Rowland Ward (1848-1912) the most celebrated of all taxidermists, operated from premises in Piccadilly. Here, he catered to Dukes and Duchesses, the rich and famous, and sportsmen the world over. He was so successful, and his reputation so great, that following his own death in 1912, the company he founded stayed in business for another 60 years, despite the general decline in interest in taxidermy through the twentieth century. During this period, the firm employed hundreds of workers, and

was always renowned for the high quality of the work produced and the top quality standards maintained by its employees. Ward himself made many innovations in terms of taxidermy, and always maintained that a good taxidermist was not simply a craftsman but an artist and that he or she should be regarded as nothing less.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

In renaissance style

The following are examples of the terminology used in this catalogue. Any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date, age provenance and condition is a statement of opinion and is not to be taken as a statement of fact.

In our opinion a work executed in the style of the renaissance but not necessarily of that period.

Please read carefully the terms of the Authenticity Guarantee and the Conditions of Business for Buyers set out in this catalogue.

Antonio Canova In our opinion a work by the artist. In the case of 19th century sculpture this indicates that the work was made in our opinion either by the artist or by a foundry or editor who had the rights to reproduce the artist’s original model either during the artist’s lifetime or for a defined posthumous period. (When the artist’s forenames are not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named).

Attributed to Antonio Canova In our opinion probably a work by the artist but less certainty as to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category.

The term signed and/or dated and/or inscribed means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription are original to the model or authorized by the sculptor’s studio or editor but not necessarily from the hand of the artist.

The term bearing the signature and/or date and/or inscription means that in our opinion the signature and/ or date and/ or inscription have been added at a later date.

Dimensions are given height before width Condition of lots Condition is only noted in the catalogue where an item is severely distressed. Prospective purchasers making commission bids without viewing the sale can be given condition reports on any lot on request.

It is essential for buyers to satisfy themselves as to the condition of lots prior to the sale and to arrange their own insurance cover against loss and damage immediately after the sale. Please refer to the Conditions of Business for Buyers.

Manner of Antonio Canova In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date After Antonio Canova In our opinion a copy at a later date of a known work by the artist. In the 19th century this indicates that in our opinion the work was made by a foundry or editor at a later date and apparently without exclusive rights.

Italian 18th century In our opinion a work from that region and of that date.

Probably Italian 18th century In our opinion a work that is likely to be from that region and/or of that date but less certainty as to the region and/or date than is expressed in the preceding category.

SUMMERS PLACE AUCTIONS AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE If Summers Place Auctions Ltd sells an item which subsequently is shown to be a “counterfeit”, subject to the terms below Summers Place Auctions Ltd will set aside the sale and refund to the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to Summers Place Auctions Ltd for the item, in the currency of the original sale.

For these purposes, “counterfeit” means a lot that in Summers Place Auctions Ltd reasonable opinion is an imitation created to deceive as to authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description of such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue (taking into account any Glossary of Terms). No lot shall be considered a counterfeit by reason only of any damage and/ or restoration and/or modification work of any kind (including repainting or over-painting).

Please note that this Guarantee does not apply if either:(i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally accepted opinion(s) of 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 at the date of the sale that the item was a counterfeit would have been by means of processes not then generally available or accepted, unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely to have caused damage to the lot or likely (in Summers Place Auctions Ltd reasonable opinion) 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.

This Guarantee is provided for a period of five (5) years after the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the Buyer and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:(i) notify Summers Place Auctions Ltd in writing within three (3) months of receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the item, specifying the lot number, date

of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is thought to be counterfeit; and (ii) return the item to Summers Place Auctions Ltd in the same condition as at the date of sale to the Buyer and be able to transfer good title in the item, free from any third party claims arising after the date of the sale.

Summers Place Auctions Ltd has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. Summers Place Auctions Ltd may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer’s cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Summers Place Auctions Ltd and the Buyer. Summers Place Auctions Ltd shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event Summers Place Auctions Ltd decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS 1. Buyer’s Premium Rates The buyer’s premium payable by the buyer of each lot is at a rate of 25% on the first £50,000, then 20% up to £250,000 and 12% on the amount by which the hammer price exceeds £250,000, plus an amount in respect of VAT thereon (see below).

2. VAT on Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium and VAT Symbols in the Catalogue Property with no VAT symbol Where there is no VAT symbol, Summers Place Auctions Ltd are able to use the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme and VAT will not normally be charged on the hammer price. Summers Place Auctions Ltd must bear VAT on the buyer’s premium and hence will charge an amount in lieu of VAT at 20% on this premium, which will not be shown separately on the invoice.

Property with a † symbol These items will be sold under the normal UK VAT rules and VAT will be charged at 20% on both the hammer price and buyer’s premium.

Property sold with a ‡ or Ω symbol These items have been imported from outside the EU to be sold at auction under temporary importation. When Summers Place Auctions Ltd release such property to buyers in the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay Summers Place Auctions Ltd import VAT at the following rates on the hammer price: ‡ @ 5% Ω @ 20% Summers Place Auctions Ltd must bear VAT on the buyer’s premium and hence will charge an amount in lieu of VAT at 20% on this premium, which will not be shown separately on the invoice.

VAT Refunds VAT may be cancelled or refunded on export if strict conditions are met and a fee of £30 plus VAT will be charged for this service. For advice, please contact us on 01403 331 331 Sales and Uses Taxes Buyers from outside the UK should note that local sales taxes or use taxes may become payable upon import of items following purchase (for example, the Use Tax payable on import of purchased items to certain states of the USA).

Artist’s Resale Right Purchase of lots marked with the following symbol p will be subject to payment of the Artist’s Resale Right, at a percentage of the hammer price calculated as follows: Portion of the hammer price (in) Royalty Rate From 0 to 50,000 4% From 50,000.01 to 200,000 3%

Exceeding 500,000 0.25% The Artist’s Resale Right payable will be the aggregate of the amounts payable under the above rate bands, subject to a maximum royalty payable of €12,500 for any single work each time it is sold. The maximum royalty payable of €12,500 applies to works sold for €2 million and above. Calculation of the artist’s resale right will be based on the Pounds Sterling / Euro reference exchange rate quoted on the date of the sale by the European Central Bank.

Some of these items require specialist dismantling and may not be available for immediate collection after the sale. Intending purchasers should check the status of these lots before the sale.

3. Before the Auction Pre-sale Estimates Pre-sale estimates are intended as a guide for prospective buyers but all lots can realise prices above or below the pre-sale estimates. Seller’s confidential reserves are set no higher than the low pre-sale estimates, except in the rare circumstance in which the reserve has been set in a foreign currency and the exchange rate has fluctuated.

It is advisable to consult us nearer the time of sale as estimates can be subject to revision. The estimates printed in the auction catalogue do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT. Provenance In certain circumstances, Summers Place Auctions Ltd may print in the catalogue the history of ownership of a work of art if such information contributes to scholarship or is otherwise well known and assists in distinguishing the work of art. However, the identity of the seller or previous owners may not be disclosed for a variety of reasons. For example, such information may be excluded to accommodate a seller’s request for confidentiality or because the identity of prior owners is unknown given the age of the work of art.

Sealed bid- How it works Our sealed bid auctions close at 4.oopm on the day after the live auction, but are on view at the same time and are included in the same catalogue with an illustration, description and estimate. Clients wishing to leave bids should do so in writing or by emailing a signed scanned page detailing lot numbers, brief description and the bid(s) which they wish to leave. All clients should also have registered with us beforehand and provided photographic identification.

Sealed bids, when placed by telephone, are accepted only at the the caller’s risk and must be confirmed by letter or e-mail to info@summersplaceauctions.com. You can also e-mail the completed sealed bid form to sealedbids@summersplaceauctions.com Next give us your bid(s). This can be done by filling in the bidding slip found in your catalogue.

If you are sending your bidding slip to Summers Place Auctions by post, please mark the envelope “Sealed Bid” so that we know it contains a sealed bid and do not open it accidentally. Bids and IDs may also be sent by e-mail. If you choose to send the bid electronically please email sealedbids@summersplaceauctions.com. This is a closed mailbox and will not be opened before the advertised time. However, we strongly recommend that if you have not viewed the sale in person, that you ask for condition reports on any lots you are thinking of leaving bids on.

Sealed bid auctions differ from established auctions in that the bid left is the bid that will be exercised in full. Therefore, if you decide to leave a bid of, say, £900 on the lot estimated at £800-1000 and there is no higher bid (where two identical bids are received, the earliest received bid will take precedence), £900 will secure the lot subject to buyer’s premium and VAT on the premium.

We will contact you if you have been the successful bidder to inform you of the lot or lots that you have purchased, so that you can make payment and make arrangements for delivery. We have had many years of experience dealing with both UK carriers and international shippers and are happy to obtain quotations and facilitate transport and shipping of single lots and multiple purchases to anywhere in the world.

Bids will be opened on Thursday 22nd March; and sales results will appear on the Summers Place Auctions website. Please be mindful that we will have to process a large number of bids, which does take time. However, we will endeavour to get this accomplished as quickly as possible and will expect to have the results of the sale posted by the end of the day.

If you have never bid in a sealed bid sale before, here are some things to be aware of as regards leaving bids for this auction: Every lot in the sale has a fixed reserve, (the minimum price for which the lot can be sold) and this is never above the low estimate, it can be slightly below, but in the vast majority of cases it is the low estimate.

The highest bid (as long as it is on or above the reserve) will be the winning bid. This is the ‘hammer price’ that the lot will be sold for.

You should consider leaving a bid of an odd amount in pounds, for example, rather that bidding £1,000, try say £1,004, as many lots have been bought for the sake of the odd £1!

You can tailor your bid in ways that are impossible to do in a live auction. For example, if you really like three lots, but only need one, and the piece you like the most is later in the sale, simply mark your order of preference. As long as your instructions are clear, having looked at any other bids left on the lots, we will do our best to comply with your preferences.

In the event of two identically highest bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence.

An auction price is made up of different components; the winning bid is called the ‘hammer price’; A commission, which is in addition to the ‘hammer price’ is payable to the auctioneers.

This is known as the buyers premium, on which VAT is payable. Lots marked with p are subject to Artist Resale Right (ARR), which is 4% of the “hammer price”. All lots that have additional VAT are clearly marked in the catalogue with a †.
