THE AT TIC S ALE

Tuesday 11 February 2025

FOREWORD

It is now just over a decade ago, that I visited Holkham Hall for the first time. Located on the North Norfolk Coast, I will never forget the great sense of anticipation as I approached from the south, driving through William Kent’s Triumphal Arch, through the park gates and along the great South Avenue - all the while hoping for my first glimpse of this magnificent Palladian palace. And then, just as I passed the Obelisk and crested the hill, there it was - Holkham in all its golden glory. A beautiful, sprawling country seat set perfectly within its sweeping landscaped park.

Holkham Hall is acknowledged as one of the great country houses of Britain and it is certainly one of my favourites. Built by Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester, in the mid-eighteenth century, and completed by his wife, Lady Margaret Tufton, Holkham has stood the test of time. Its perfect Palladian design, together with its sumptuous interiors filled with exquisite works of art, have impressed visitors for centuries. Every time I walk around Holkham’s beautiful state rooms, I cannot fail to be delighted. From its antique statues, Old Master paintings, and luxurious William Kent furniture, Holkham is certainly a treasure trove.

As well as its impressive collections, one of the most special things about Holkham is the fact that it remains a family home. A home that is lived in, enjoyed and loved. It retains its soul. It also retains much of its art, furniture, and curiosities – all bought and cherished by numerous generations of the Coke family. The 1st Earl of Leicester may have begun Holkham’s vast collection, but many of his successors can be credited with its augmentation. They were just as keen to put their stamp on its interiors and keep up with the latest fashions of the day, so new objects were commissioned and purchased, and old ones moved to the shadows.

And now, in a historic first, 400 of these artefacts are offered throughout this catalogue. Holkham’s attics and cellars, corridors and storerooms, have been searched and scoured. Forgotten cupboards and hidden chests have been emptied and examined to reveal an exciting range of objects. Some of the highlights include an exquisite Republican Sèvres porcelain beau bleu dessert service, a Louis XV Gobelins tapestry depicting Juno and Aeolus, and even a group of Roman marble fragments purchased by the 1st Earl in Rome on 11 September 1716. These pieces are offered together with a fascinating array of lamps, desks, tables, chairs, screens, ceramics and other curious wonders. They have been carefully selected and curated by the current Earl and Countess of Leicester and provide a unique glimpse into the history of Holkham Hall. Each item is a piece of history that could now become yours.

Charlotte Lee-Finglas Valuer & Cataloguer

I undertake this exercise with mixed feelings. I am, like some of my ancestors, something of a hoarder, though equally appreciate it is wonderfully cathartic to be able to say goodbye. Over the centuries, items have been replaced at Holkham as fashions evolved or as rooms changed use. However, there has always been a reluctance to dispose of the unneeded straight away and so inevitably 'stuff' accumulates. As you can image in a house like Holkham Hall, there is plenty of space to store the myriad of items that, for whatever reason, are no longer used. Over the past few seasons, we have opened these spaces to visitors for guided tours around our attics and cellars, and this has meant a great deal of 'housework' to make the passages and walkways safe for people to pass through. It is time to declutter, but what is more, it’s important that these items – many of which have not been seen by the public for decades, or ever – will attract interested buyers who will give them a new lease of life by incorporating them into their own homes.

After our initial thoughts of an attic sale, we saw what Sworders did at Elveden [The Guinness Sale at Elveden, September 2023]; my team liked the way things were set out there and we were impressed by the catalogue and the amount of interest that was generated. Choosing items to sell was fairly simple, in as much as the attics and cellars were full to bursting with furniture stacked high on top of each other that hadn't been used by many of my predecessors and their families, so we're talking over seventy years. Our Collections Co-ordinator did the majority of the work, cataloguing category by category, then my wife and I went through those lists, actually going around the house and selecting what would be good in the sale, combining really special and historically important items with more everyday, useable pieces, to create a nicely varied ‘attic sale’.

Some lots in the sale hold strong memories for myself and my family. For example, there's brown furniture which was in my bedroom when I was growing up here, and the Etruscan nenfro head of a female was part of a grotto arrangement in the arboretum. My father [Edward Douglas Coke, 7th Earl] had an art historian friend - maybe John Cornforth - who suggested it might be a good idea to get it into the house, so it has sat in my office until now.

This is the first auction of its kind in my memory, and judging by the amount of traditional furniture, light fittings and things like that, probably the first in the hall's entire history. A large number of pieces have been in the family for up to three hundred years, including some from the 1st Earl’s collection and lots of Victorian furniture which would have been bought by the 2nd Earl. The family also owned Longford Hall in Derbyshire - sold over a hundred years ago - so a few pieces would have come from there, as well as a large house in London. As a result, this sale presents a unique opportunity for collectors to take home a piece of Holkham Hall’s legacy; I know that a fresh pair of eyes will see value in these unique items, and I hope their new owners will treasure them for years to come.

HOLKHAM HALL: AN ITALIANATE VILLA ON THE NORFOLK COAST

Holkham is, without doubt, one of England’s greatest estates. Encompassing a honey-toned palatial mansion within 25,000 acres of green land, it’s also an employer to hundreds of local people and a tourist destination attracting around one million visitors a year. Today, under the guardianship of Thomas Coke, the 8th Earl of Leicester, it is the epitome of the modern country estate, home to a myriad of thriving businesses and location of pioneering developments in agriculture, sustainability and conservation; but the Coke family have been at Holkham for over 400 years, and without the actions of multiple generations before, it would not be what it is today.

The family’s fortunes trace their roots back to the Elizabethan jurist, Sir Edward Coke (1552-1634). Coined the ‘lawyer, politician and moneymaker’ by the current Earl, he is best known for his legal texts and as the attorney general who oversaw the trials of both Sir Walter Raleigh and the eight main conspirators in the Gunpowder Plot. He climbed the ranks to become the country’s most senior judge in the reign of James I and it was said that he was the only lawyer who could interpret and digest England’s most complicated laws. According to family lore, this is why he chose an ostrich – a bird who was said to be able to digest anything – for the Coke crest.

Edward’s legal work and good reputation brought him substantial wealth, which he invested in possessions and property, including Neales Manor in Holkham Parish. This was passed down to Coke’s fourth son, John, who through marriage to heiress Meriel Wheatley, also inherited Hill Hall, the principal house at Holkham. The marriage brought more money and land to the estate, allowing neighbouring properties, including what is now known as the Ancient House, to be acquired, so by 1659, John Coke was the majority landowner in Holkham, owning the three manors and other substantial buildings.

Although Sir Edward and John founded what was to become Holkham Estate, it would be over 100 years later that the Hall we see today was unveiled; with their successor, Thomas Coke (1697-1759), credited as ‘the builder and collector’ of the family. Orphaned at just ten years old, Thomas went to live with his cousin at Longford Hall in Derbyshire. He was highly intelligent and showed an early aptitude for Classics and Latin, but he was also headstrong and regularly got into trouble for gambling and cockfighting. As a result, he was sent away on one of the longest-

recorded grand tours of any young Englishman in 1712, returning six years later. He spent a considerable time in France, where he made purchases of manuscripts, as well as Switzerland, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Italy. His companion was his tutor, Dr Thomas Hobart, and with his guidance and experience – having just returned from another grand tour - Coke explored the palaces and villas of notable Roman families, as well as libraries, churches and princely collections.

During his travels, Thomas not only developed a keen interest in architecture and commissioned paintings of himself as many young men did, but he also acquired Roman statuary, manuscripts and books from the ailing collections he visited. He also met and became good friends with the English architect, William Kent (1685-1748), who was working as a painter at the time and became interested in architecture through Coke’s influence. Together, they toured the palaces of Northern Italy, particularly in Vicenza, and forged a deep appreciation of the architectural style of Andrea Palladio, which would later have a significant impact on the design of Holkham Hall.

Upon his return to England, aged twenty-one, Thomas was laden with treasures and inspired to build his own architectural masterpiece to house them, based on the Palladian buildings he had seen in Italy. The design of Holkham Hall was Coke’s vision, but the construction was a collaboration between him and Kent, with valuable advice and support from Richard Boyle, the 3rd Earl of Burlington, known as the ‘Architect Earl’, who had recently built his own NeoPalladian villa at Chiswick. However, the process would be a long one; hampered by financial strife following the bursting of the South Sea Bubble, the build was delayed for ten years and finally conducted - under the supervision of the Norfolk-builder, Matthew Brettingham the Elder - between 1734 and 1764.

In a cruel twist of fate, Coke never lived to see his finished Italianate villa in North Norfolk and died in 1759, with the building’s completion and furnishing of the jewel-like interiors overseen and funded by his widow, Lady Margaret Tufton, Countess of Leicester (1700-1775). Margaret was ‘an excellent curator’; she commissioned stunning paintings and items of furniture for the state rooms, sensitively arranging them to best present the works of art Coke purchased abroad and bringing his vision to life. She also recognised that the Hall was built to be enjoyed by others, and every Tuesday it would be open to the public, where the housekeeper would show visitors around the piano nobile to see the circular arrangement of the state rooms. The core collection at Holkham today remains very much as the original builder had intended; the 1st Earl’s grand tour acquisitions - his cache of classical marble sculptures and a library of illuminated manuscripts and books - were carefully documented and are still largely intact, housed in the niches and on the shelves that were originally built for them. In addition, the house, described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as ‘the most classically correct house in England’, has continued its role in inspiring an admiration of the arts, and is still open to the public, over 100 days a year.

Margaret lived until the age of seventy-five, however, her sole surviving child, Viscount Edward Coke, predeceased her and the earldom died out, passing the estate – but not the title – to her nephew, and then her great-nephew, Thomas William Coke (1754-1842). Thomas had spent his childhood at Longford and embarked on his own grand tour in 1774 upon Margaret’s recommendation. Despite proving very popular in Continental Europe, ‘le bel Anglais’ - as he was affectionately known - threw himself into agricultural improvements upon inheriting Holkham in 1776, taking on his second, and longer-lasting nickname, ‘Coke of Norfolk’. He established the annual Sheep Shearings – forerunners of today’s county shows – and with the help of architect Samuel Wyatt, he invested heavily in new farmhouses and associated buildings on the estate. He became a Whig MP for the county in 1776 and his close friend, Charles James Fox (1749-1806), as well as other political figures, are immortalised in marble and plaster in the collection at Holkham. Following Queen Victoria’s accession in 1837, Coke, at the age of eighty-three, was raised to the peerage and became 1st Earl of Leicester, 2nd Creation, reviving the earldom and establishing the Leicester line that continues today.

Over the next century, successive Earls and their families added to the estate; the Victoria Inn (now The Victoria) had already been started by Thomas William, but the terraces and parterres, the fountain, Stables Courtyard, and the refurbishment of St Withburga’s Church were all completed during the 19th century. Subsequently, the 3rd Earl, upon his succession in 1909, embarked on an extensive modernisation and refurbishment of the Hall, including installing electricity, gilding, painting and upholstering the furniture in the state rooms. However, the cost of maintaining such a large house was a struggle and throughout the 20th century, Holkham was plagued with financial difficulties. During the 4th Earl’s tenure, it even looked likely that the Hall would be transferred to the National Trust as the only way ‘to save Holkham and all its treasures from ultimate dispersal’. Luckily, it was kept in the Coke family, but by the time the current Earl’s father, Edward Douglas Coke, came to Holkham in the 1960s, virtually every facet of the estate was losing money.

At the age of twenty-five, as it became clear Edward’s father, Anthony Coke - later the 6th Earl - would not be returning to Norfolk from his home in South Africa when he inherited the estate, Edward set about learning everything there was to know about farming and estate management at nearby Sandringham. Working alongside the 5th Earl, he succeeded in making Holkham’s farming operation profitable again, and when he took over the estate in 1976, he began a vast programme of modernisation, including the renovation of the estate cottages and farms. Using historical inventories, ‘Eddy’ also revived the 18th-century mansion, reinstating the original picture-hang in the Saloon and the Landscape Room, and clearing the state rooms of excess furnishings. He was passionate about Holkham’s collection, and welcomed academics to study its books and manuscripts, as well as loaning important items to exhibitions around the world, a practice that is still very much encouraged under the current Earl’s custodianship.

In 2006, after thirty years running the estate, Edward, now the 7th Earl, handed over direction to his son, Thomas Edward Coke. Finding the estate in a much better place than it had been for many decades, but keen to carve out his own niche and continue the estate’s prosperity, Tom has pioneered a diverse collection of revenue streams, away from sole dependence on agriculture. In the future, he hopes to have more time to nurture his interests in cultural heritage and the decorative arts, and to continue his father’s initiatives, including a display in the Hall about the Magna Carta and the role played by his ancestor, Sir Edward Coke, in preserving its values. Many of the items in Holkham | The Attic Sale are those bought or acquired by the Earl’s predecessors, offering him and his family a glimpse into life throughout the ages at Holkham. As a result, putting the auction together has given Lord Leicester a chance to further learn about and protect Holkham Hall’s heritage, as – he insists - ‘there’s always something new to learn’ in this ‘Temple of the Arts’ on the Norfolk coast.

This is almost certainly one of the pair illustrated in the Drawing Room and the Green State Room at Holkham in H A Tipping and C Latham, ‘English Homes’, 1909, pp.394 and 396 respectively.

In Holkham’s archives, the earliest possible mention of the pair of fire screens is in an 1842 inventory, described as ‘two carved and gilt fire screens, embroidered centres’. In the 1909 inventory, they are described as ‘Aubusson pile tapestry, exotic birds after Buffon’ and both were together in the South Dining Room at this point.

Further still, the 1967 inventory mentions ‘A Regency gilt framed cheval firescreen, in the Egyptian taste...the rectangular panel filled with parrots and a golden pheasant in a wooded landscape in Savonnerie pile fabric signed ‘Cant’ the screen bearing a trade label inscribed to Jo [sic.] Smith, apprentice and successor to the late Mr Harewood [sic.] of Conduit Street, carver and gilder and looking glass and picture frame maker’. In 1794, John Smith was apprenticed to William Hurwood (fl.1780-92), carver and gilder of 18 Conduit Street, London, for a premium of £20 (‘A Memoir of the author [John Smith] by his grandson’, ‘Connoisseur’, 1903, vol.5, p.214).

The pile fabric panel of exotic birds was probably based on a cartoon made for the Savonnerie manufactory in Paris, based on a similar panel housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The panel, attributed to Thomas Moore (c.1700-1788) was - according to the museum - woven in England and probably by Thomas Whitty (1713-1792) at Axminster (accession number 64.101.1155).

£8,000 - 12,000

The first mention of this tapestry in Holkham’s archives is apparently in 1897, where it is described as ‘a large panel measuring […] in a frame representing Proserphone [sic. Persephone?] entering the lower world with Pluto’, in the North State Sitting Room. Another mention appears in a 1909 inventory, where there is an entry for ‘oblong rectangular panel of Brussels tapestry depicting a ‘visit of Juno to Pluto’.

If this is the same piece, and it seems likely, this room was completely refurbished in 1910-12 which could explain why it has never been on formal display. From 1913, it is noted as being in the Chapel Wing corridor, but hidden behind another tapestry, where it was found in 2017 and subsequently sent to De Witt in Belgium for cleaning.

Literature: David Peters, ‘Sevres Plates and Services of the 18th Century’, 2005, service no. 00-9, pp.1249-1250.

The present service was purchased by Maison Lemercier et Compagnie. The primary record of the service is Register 12 in the Sèvres Sales Register (MNC Vy’12, f.182v and f.183r).

A secondary record of the invoice is held in the Archives Nationales, France (AN F 23335, An IX). Two matching tureens are held in the National Ceramics Museum at Sèvres.

The earliest mention of the present service in Holkham’s archives is in 1897, listed as an heirloom and marked ‘Republic Francaise’ (French Republic). Given that this was the service’s first appearance in any inventory, it is safe to assume it was part of the 2nd Earl’s (1822-1909) collection and it is plausible that it was a wedding present on the occasion of his second marriage, to Hon. Georgina Cavendish, in 1875. Alternatively, it is also possible that he inherited the service from the family’s Derbyshire estate, Longford Hall, as it was common for items to move between the houses throughout the 1st and 2nd Earls’ tenures.

Holkham Pottery

The idea of Elizabeth Leicester, wife of the 5th Earl, Holkham Pottery was set up in 1951 in the converted Victorian laundry and bowling alley. As well as creating an additional attraction to the estate, it also provided local jobs, including for Lady Elizabeth and her two eldest daughters. Holkham Hall was the first stately home to produce pottery on-site for sale in the gift shop, which inspired others to do the same, and it continued trading for 56 years, closing in 2007. The pottery building has since been turned into a state-of-the-art events venue, named the Lady Elizabeth Wing in honour of its heritage; it is used for weddings and fairs, and will be the location for Holkham’s attic sale on 11 February 2025.

Lots must be paid for before they are collected or shipped. For those attending the auction we ask that Lots are paid for on the day of the sale. Methods by which we accept payment are detailed on our Website, including online payment upon receipt of your invoice, and these should be paid by 5pm on the Friday following the sale. We accept cash to an upper limit of 10,000 euros equivalent. Any cheques will need to be cleared before you can take the Goods away.

Collection and storage

All Lots should be paid for and collected by 5pm on the Friday following the sale. Commission Bidders should check the success of their bids and arrange payment, and collection or shipping within this time. For our specialist auctions please refer to the collection and storage requirements detailed in the catalogue and on our Website, which specifies the applicable fees.

Agency

As Auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the Seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your contract for the Goods is with the Seller, not with us as Auctioneer.

Estimates

Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale Price. The lower estimate may represent the Reserve Price (the minimum Price for which a Lot may be sold) and will not be below the Reserve Price. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the Auctioneer before the auction of the Lot. They are not definitive.

Buyer’s Premium

The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay a Buyer’s Premium at 25% on the Hammer Price of each Lot purchased, except for our Fine Wine and Spirits auctions when it is 18%. In addition, VAT is charged on these Premiums (see below).

VAT

Items in our catalogue may be marked with a dagger † or double dagger ‡, which indicates that VAT is payable by the Buyer on the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium at either the standard rate (currently 20%) or a reduced rate (currently 5%), depending upon the legal requirements relating to that Lot.

Lots which do not have either of the above symbols have no VAT payable on the Hammer Price. This is because such Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. The VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax.

Shipping Costs are liable for VAT and are payable by the Buyer.

If you are exporting the items from the UK, you may be able to claim a reimbursement of the VAT, where:

1. you are using Sworders Delivery service.

In these cases, a zero rated (VAT exempt) invoice can be issued where the following criteria are met:

a. the items are exported within three months of the date of the auction

b. the total amount of VAT payable would exceed £75 per shipment

There is no administrative charge for clients using Sworders Delivery Service.

If you cancel shipping through Sworders Delivery Service, we will reinstate the VAT, which must be paid prior to the release of goods.

2. you arrange shipping through a private logistics company, agent or courier and the following criteria are met:

a. the invoice is paid in full, including VAT

b. the items are exported from the UK within three months of the date of the auction

c. the certificate of shipment and export documents are provided to us within a year of the date of export from the UK

d. the total amount of VAT to be claimed exceeds £75

e. you have paid an administrative fee of £25

Inspection of Goods by the Buyer

As we act on behalf of the Seller, we are dependent on information provided by the Seller about their Goods. We may inspect Lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of Lots to check their condition in the way a Buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the Goods. You must inspect and investigate Lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the description and condition of Lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clauses 12.2 and 12.4.

Condition reports

We may be able to assist Buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending Buyers are strongly encouraged to view. Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale.

Shipping of Goods

We offer a delivery service for Lots purchased, either by shipping ourselves, or use of a third party logistics company. Estimates for Shipping Costs for smaller items can be calculated pre-sale on our website under each Lot and are based on value, size and your chosen UK destination. For items purchased the actual cost can be added to your account and paid online after the sale. If you purchase multiple Lots from the same auction, we will combine packaging/deliveries to reduce the Shipping Costs. For lots for which Shipping Costs cannot be automatically calculated, such as furniture, you can obtain a bespoke Shipping Cost from our website to any destination in the world either in advance of the sale or after you have purchased.

Estimates of Shipping Costs on our website are based on the low estimate, whilst the actual cost is based on Hammer Price.

Electrical goods

These are sold as ‘antiques’ only. If you buy electrical Goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them.

Export of Goods

If you intend to export Goods you must find out:

a. whether an export licence is needed; and b. if there is a prohibition on importing Goods of that character e.g. because the Goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory.

Bidding

Bidders are required to register with us before the auction starts. We Reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a Commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value Lots this deadline may be several days before the auction to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You will need to provide us with proof of your identity in a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding. Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion.

Commission bidding

You may leave Commission bids with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a Lot (excluding the Buyers’ Premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute Commission bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the Reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two Buyers submit identical Commission bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained). We recommend leaving Commission bids online via our Website, though please contact us about leaving bids by telephone or fax/email. All absentee bids should be received at least 30 minutes before the auction commences; we cannot guarantee to execute Commission bids received after this time.

Telephone bidding

If you are unable to come to the auction it may be possible to bid on the telephone for higher value Lots. Please note that this service is for Lots with an estimate of £500 or more. The number of lines is limited so we would urge serious telephone bidding only and ask that you be prepared to bid over the top estimate. It is advisable to leave a maximum covering bid in case we are not able to contact you by telephone. All lines must be booked and confirmed in writing before the day of the auction and preferably some time in advance. Telephone bidding involves many variables and whilst we take every care to ensure the smooth operation of this service, we cannot be held liable if your bids are missed for any reason.

Online bidding

Any Lots purchased via a live online bidding service will be subject to an additional Commission charge on the Hammer Price payable by the Bidder, in accordance with rates specified by the online service. These are charged at 0% while bidding via Sworders Website. If bidding through other online bidding platforms, you will be charged additional surcharges, which will be payable to us on top of the Hammer Price and our Buyer’s Commission at their advertised rate.

Artist Resale Rights

Lots marked with a ▴ indicate the item is subject to additional Artist Resale Right charges.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

Removal of Lots

All Lots are to be removed from the premises by 5.00pm at the latest on the Friday following each sale. Sworders retain the right to remove Lots remaining after this time into safe storage, for which a charge will be made.

Electrical Goods

All electrical Goods offered in this sale have either been tested and certified safe or unsafe by an appropriately qualified electrician. All electrical Goods certified unsafe must be re-commissioned by an appropriately qualified electrician and we recommend those certified safe are similarly re-commissioned.

Post 1950 Upholstered Furniture

All items of furniture included in this sale are offered for sale as works of art. The items may not comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) Safety Regulations 1988 and for this reason, they should not be used in a private dwelling.

Furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia Negra)

To comply with CITES Regulations on Post-1947 furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood, all post-war rosewood furniture items must have an Article 10 certificate in place, prior to being offered for sale.

If you are purchasing rosewood furniture for commercial purposes and not solely for your own use, CITES regulations require you to obtain your own certificate. You would need to contact the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) and, as part of the process of obtaining your document, it is a requirement that you have seen sight of the Sworders’ certificate or are aware of its reference number.

It is therefore the responsibility of commercial Buyers to ensure that they obtain a copy of the appropriate certificate, or the certificate reference number, after purchase from Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers. Items are marked with this sign §.

Ivory Lots marked  contain elephant ivory material. Please be advised that several countries, including those in the EU and the USA, now prohibit the importation of ivory items unless under specific conditions. Accordingly, prospective buyers should familiarise themselves with the relevant customs regulations of their country and ensure they are able to import this item prior to bidding.

Please note that if you register to bid and/or bid at auction this signifies that you agree to and will comply with these Terms of Sale.

11.1.1 the Seller is the true owner of the Lot for sale or is authorised by the true owner to offer and sell the L ot at auction;

11.1.2 the Seller is able to transfer good and marketable title to the Lot to you free from any third party rights or claims; and

11.2 If, after you have placed a successful bid and paid for a Lot, any of the warranties above are found not to be true, please notify us in writing. Neither we nor the Seller will be liable to pay you any sums over and above the total amount due and we will not be responsible for any inaccuracies in the information provided by the Seller except as set out below.

11.3 Please note that many of the Lots that you may bid on at our auction are second-hand.

11.4 If a Lot is not second-hand and you purchase the Lot as a Consumer from a Seller that is a Trader, a number of additional terms may be implied by law in addition to the Seller’s warranties set out at Clause 11.1 (in particular under the Consumer Rights Act 2015). These Terms of Sale do not seek to exclude your rights under law as they relate to the sale of these Lots.

11.5 Save as expressly set out above, all other warranties, conditions or other terms which might have effect between the Seller and you, or us and you, or be implied or incorporated by statue, common law or otherwise are excluded.

12. Descriptions and condition

12.1 Our descriptions of the Lot will be based on: (a) information provided to us by the Seller of the Lot (for which we are not liable); and (b) our opinion (although it is likely that we will not be able to carry out a detailed inspection of each Lot).

12.2 We will give you a number of opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot.

We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot in advance of the auction.

12.3 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 will be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.

12.4 Please note that Lots (in particular second-hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition. Lots are sold ‘as is’ (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of secondhand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue, the condition report for a lot (or in any saleroom notice) and/ or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed.

13. Deliberate Forgeries

13.1 You may return any Lot which is found to be a Deliberate Forgery to us within thirty days of the auction provided that you return the Lot to us in the same condition as when it was released to you, accompanied by a written statement identifying the Lot from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects.

13.2 If we are reasonably satisfied that the Lot is a Deliberate Forgery, we will refund the money paid by you for the Lot (including any Premium and applicable VAT) provided that if:

13.2.1 the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of experts as at the date of the auction; or

13.2.2 you personally are not able to transfer good and marketable title in the Lot to us, you will have no right to a refund under this Clause.

13.3 If you have sold the Lot to another person, we will only be liable to refund the Price that you paid for the Lot. We will not be responsible for repaying any additional money you may have made from selling the Lot.

13.4 Your right to return a Lot that is a Deliberate Forgery does not affect your legal rights and is in addition to any other right or remedy provided by law or by these Terms of Sale.

14. Our liability to you

14.1 We will not be liable for any loss of opportunity or disappointment suffered as a result of participating in our auction.

14.2 In addition to the above, neither we nor the Seller shall be responsible to you and you shall not be responsible to the Seller or us for any other loss or damage that any of us suffer that is not a foreseeable result of any of us not complying with the Terms and Conditions. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen or if at the time of the sale of the Lot, we, you and the Seller knew it might happen.

14.3 Subject to Clause 14.4, if we are found to be liable to you for any reason (including, amongst others, if we are found to be negligent, in breach of contract or to have made a misrepresentation), our liability will be limited to the total purchase price paid by you to us for any Lot.

14.4 Notwithstanding the above, nothing in these Terms of Sale shall limit our liability (or that of our employees or agents) for:

14.4.1 death or personal injury resulting from negligence (as defined in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977);

14.4.2 fraudulent misrepresentation; or

14.4.3 any liability which cannot be excluded by law.

Other than as set out in this Clause, these Terms of Sale are between you and us and no other person will have any rights to enforce any of these Terms of Sale.

17.3 We may use special terms in the catalogue descriptions of particular Lots. You must read these terms carefully along with any glossary provided in our auction catalogues.

17.5 We may change these Terms of Sale from time to time, without notice to you. Please read these Terms of Sale carefully, as they may be different from the last time you read them.

17.6 Except as otherwise stated in these Terms of Sale, each of our rights and remedies: (a) are in addition to and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies under these Terms of Sale or general law; and (b) may be waived only in writing and specifically. Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale is not a waiver of that or any other right. Partial exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale will not preclude any further or other exercise of that right or any other right under these Terms of Sale. Waiver of a breach of any term of these Terms of Sale will not operate as a waiver of breach of any other term or any subsequent breach of that term.

17.7 These Terms of Sale and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including any non-contractual claims or disputes) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

These terms are based upon the recommended terms of sale by the Society of Fine Art Auctioneers and Valuers
