Attributed to George Gower (c.1540-1596)
Portrait of a lady, said to be Lady Arabella Stuart, daughter of Charles, 5th Earl of Lennox, half-length, in a richly embroidered and bejewelled dress with a white lace ruff oil on canvas
64 x 53cm, in an Italian carved giltwood frame
£30,000 - 40,000
Provenance: The Savile family, Rufford Abbey, Nottingham, their sale, Christie’s, 18 November 1938, lot 153 (as by Zuccaro); Sotheby’s, London, ‘British Paintings, 1500-1850’, 8 November 1995, lot 20.
Exhibited: National Exhibition of Works of Art, Leeds, 1868.
George Gower (c.1540-1596) is a painter about whose personal life we know little, but whose professional status as Serjeant Painter to Queen Elizabeth I granted him access to many noble personages of his day. He is notable for his use of complex symbolism, as in his self-portrait where a painter’s tools outweigh his coat of arms in a balance, or in the portrait of Elizabeth I in which she is represented with a sieve in reference to Tuccia, a virginal figure from antiquity.
In this portrait, said to be of Lady Arabella Stuart, one piece of many amongst her jewellery stands out as peculiar. The pendant earring she wears is not a simple pearl, as might be expected, but is rather a device composed of interlocking triangles, closely resembling the Seal of Solomon or Star of David. Such a device also appears in the gold necklace worn by the 23-month-old Arabella in the Hardwick Hall portrait of her. In this portrait of the very young Arabella, she holds a doll which the National Trust argues bears a strong resemblance to Elizabeth I, the then-Queen. Henry VIII, Edward VI, Elizabeth I and James VI/I were often tied to Solomon, including explicitly in speeches given by the monarchs, in contemporary writing, in portraiture and in court masques.
After the rupture from the Catholic Church, English monarchs sought to underline their status as Solomonic antitypes in an effort to consolidate their ecclesiastical authority. The line in 2 Chronicles 9:8, ‘Blessed be the Lord they God, which loued thee, to set thee on his throne as King, in the steade of the Lorde thy God’, was oft-quoted as an assurance that a monarch could be the direct representation of God on earth, as is brilliantly explored in Victoria Brownlee’s ‘Biblical Readings and Literary Writings in Early Modern England, 1558-1625’.
No such literature exists to tie Arabella herself to these traditions, and yet we find this politically charged symbol in two portraits of the young woman. If Solomon is taken as a symbol of a powerful, unifying ruler in a time of some tumult, then Arabella’s association with him through this symbol might be taken as her assertions towards the throne. She stood to inherit, as James VI did, though she was not chosen. The presence of the symbol in this portrait seems to reinforce the status of its sitter as a hopeful for the throne, and thus to tie it more directly to Lady Arabella.

Portrait of a lady, half-length, in a gold-embroidered white dress and blue wrap a pair, both signed ‘Maes’, oil on canvas

£8,000 - 12,000
Provenance: Ann Page Croft, née Page, of Fanhams Hall, Ware, Hertfordshire. She started enlarging the house in the 1890s, and to that end, she purchased the contents of a palace in the Hague which was being demolished. There is no record of whether the portraits were acquired then or on another of her trips to Holland; thence by descent.
Nicolas Maes, a Dutch Golden Age painter, is celebrated for his masterful portraits that capture the subtleties of human expression and character. A pupil of Rembrandt, Maes initially gained acclaim for his intimate domestic scenes, capturing everyday life with warmth and subtlety. In the 1660s, he began to devote himself to small-scale, detailed portraiture, marking a significant shift in his artistic focus. His portraits are distinguished by their intimate realism and attention to detail, often portraying middle-class individuals with a dignified, yet approachable air. Maes’ work reflects a profound understanding of his sitters’ personalities, blending technical prowess with psychological insight. His prolific output during the second half of the 17th century enriched Dutch portrait painting, and his works have continued to be admired since.

13.5 x 24.5cm (2)
£4,000 - 6,000
Giacomo Guardi was a prominent Venetian painter known for his exquisite vedute, or cityscapes, which captured the essence of Venice during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The son of the celebrated Francesco Guardi, he inherited not only his father’s artistic talent, but also a deep appreciation of the uniqueness of the city.
Guardi’s popularity during his lifetime stemmed from his ability to convey the ephemeral beauty of Venice. His works - typically landmarks such as the Grand Canal, the Rialto Bridge and St Mark’s Square - were cherished by both locals and travellers who sought to take home a piece of the city’s magic. His meticulous attention to detail and his mastery of light and shadow allowed him to create scenes that were both realistic and evocative.
One of the distinctive aspects of Guardi’s work was his choice of medium, particularly his use of blue paper. This was both a stylistic and a practical preference. Blue paper provided a neutral yet luminous background that enhanced the vibrancy of the colours applied over it. It allowed Guardi to achieve a particular atmospheric effect, capturing the ethereal quality of Venetian light and the shimmering reflections on the city’s waterways. The blue paper also facilitated quicker sketches, which was advantageous for capturing fleeting moments and scenes in a bustling city. The paper’s texture added depth and richness to his drawings, creating a unique interplay between the paper and the pigments. This technique became a hallmark of Guardi’s work, setting him apart from his contemporaries and contributing to his enduring legacy.

Christian Friedrich Zincke was a renowned German miniature painter. Trained under the guidance of his father, and later under influential artists such as Boit, Zincke established himself as a prominent figure in 18th-century portraiture after moving to England. One of his most notable contributions to the art world was his exceptional use of the colour blue. He developed a distinctive palette that brought vibrancy and depth to his miniatures, setting them apart from his contemporaries. His blue hues, rich and luminous, were particularly admired for their clarity and intensity, adding a lifelike quality to his subjects’ eyes and garments. Zincke’s innovative techniques and his keen eye for colour nuances not only earned him patronage from the British aristocracy, including members of the royal family, but also established his legacy as a pivotal figure in the evolution of miniature painting.

Sir George Back was a British naval officer, explorer, naturalist and artist, who helped to trace the Arctic coastline of North America.
His naval career began in 1808, when he joined HMS ‘Arethusa’; he saw action off Cherbourg before being captured by the French near San Sebastian in 1809. He spent five years in prison before returning to England and joining HMS ‘Akbar’, which was stationed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, as midshipman. After volunteering for service under Commanders Buchan and Ross on ‘Dorothea’ and ‘Trent’ in 1818, in a failed attempt to cross the Arctic Ocean from Spitzbergen, he came into contact with the explorer John Franklin, commanding officer of the ‘Trent’, who was impressed by his usefulness as an artist. In May 1819 he set out with Franklin on the Hudson’s Bay Company ship ‘Prince of Wales’ for York Factory. They spent the following winter at Cumberland House, the first inland port established by the company, and these two drawings are clearly among those he produced during that stay.
In 1821-22 and again in 1825-27 he accompanied Franklin to Canada’s Northwest Territories. Back’s drawings are illustrated as engravings in Franklin’s narrative of the latter expedition, and some of the original drawings have appeared at auction in recent years. He returned to the same region on two expeditions of his own, the first in 1833 to search for John Ross, who had disappeared on a voyage four years earlier, and he went on to explore the Great Fish River, now renamed the Back River. He returned in 1836 to explore the coastal region east of the mouth of the river, and his journey is recorded in his ‘Narrative of the Arctic Land Expedition to the Mouth of the Great Fish River’.

Edward Atkinson Hornel (1864-1933)
A young geisha in an interior signed and dated ‘E. A. Hornel/94’, oil on canvas
33 x 28cm
£10,000 - 15,000
Edward Atkinson Hornel was a notable Scottish painter associated with the Glasgow Boys, a group of influential artists who sought to break away from traditional Victorian art styles. Born in Bacchus Marsh, Australia, Hornel moved to Scotland at an early age, where he later developed his distinctive style, which combined elements of impressionism and post-impressionism.
A close friendship with fellow artist George Henry was pivotal in his artistic development. The two artists collaborated extensively, sharing ideas and techniques that helped shape their individual and collective works, and one of the most significant events in Hornel’s life was a trip he and Henry took to Japan in 1893. The pair spent over a year there, immersing themselves in the local culture and art. This journey profoundly influenced Hornel’s artistic perspective and output, involving a deep study of traditional Japanese art forms, including woodblock prints and screens. The Japanese approach to composition and use of colour made a great impression on Hornel, leading to a noticeable shift in his style on his return to Scotland.
Hornel’s depictions of geishas are among the most remarkable products of his Japanese sojourn. Through a Western lens he portrayed geishas with a blend of authenticity and idealisation. His paintings often feature vibrant colours, intricate patterns and a sense of movement and grace that capture the essence of Japanese aesthetics whilst infusing them with his unique artistic vision. The geishas in Hornel’s works are not mere subjects, but symbols of a refined, almost other-worldly, beauty that fascinated Western audiences. His paintings convey a sense of tranquillity and timelessness, reflecting the influence of Japanese art’s emphasis on harmony with nature and the elegance of everyday life.
Hornel’s portrayal of geishas also highlighted the cultural exchange between East and West during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His works provided a Western audience with a glimpse into a world that was both exotic and enchanting. By interpreting Japanese themes through his Western perspective, Hornel contributed to the growing interest and appreciation of Japanese culture in Europe.

A work catalogued with the forename(s) and surname of a recognised destination of an artist is or is probably a work by the artist, eg. David Cox. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that while a full designation is our highest category or authenticity, no unqualified statement as to the authorship is made or intended. A full cataloguing does not necessarily imply a full warranty.
Attributed to David Cox in our opinion a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist.
Circle of David Cox in our opinion a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.
Follower of David Cox in our opinion a work executed in the style of David Cox
After David Cox in our opinion a copy of any date after a work by the artist
Signed/inscribed/dated in our opinion the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist
What is Artist’s Resale Right?
Following a European Directive in 2006, the Artist’s Resale Right entitles creators of original works of art to a royalty each time their work is resold, with the involvement of an auction house, for £1,000 or more.
This right covers sales of work by living artists and also the beneficiaries and heirs of artists deceased within the last 70 years of the sale.
How are resale royalties calculated?
The artist’s royalty depends on the hammer price (sale price without any VAT or Buyer’s Premium). The higher the sale price of the artwork, the lower the overall royalty rate. The royalty is worked out according to a sliding scale from 4% to 0.25%.
From £1,000 to £50,000
From £50,000.01 to £200,000 3%
From £200,000.01 to £350,000 1%
From £350,000.01 to £500,000 0.5%
Exceeding £500,000
What is the qualifying threshold?
An artwork must sell for more than £1,000 to qualify for a royalty and the maximum amount an artist can receive is capped at £12,500 per transaction.
Bears/with signature, inscription, date in our opinion the signature/inscription/date are not by the hand of the named artist.
The addition of a question mark (?) after any of the above cataloguing terms indicates an element of doubt.
A work catalogued as ‘School’ accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date means that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in the location, eg. South Netherlands School, circa 1750.
All references to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of the work, ie. as at the time of inspection for the purpose of cataloguing.
Condition reports are not included in the descriptions.
What nationality must an artist be to qualify?
Following the UK’s exit from the European Union, the ARR has continued to apply to the sale of artworks by nationals of countries in the European Economic Area (EEA), as well as the UK. The following countries are in the EEA:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, plus the UK, and Australia was added to the list for the purposes of ARR with effect from 31 March 2024.
Artists who are nationals of these countries are therefore generally eligible to receive resale royalties. The nationality criteria only applies to the artist and not to the beneficiaries or heirs.
Are all sales of artwork covered?
The Artist’s Resale Right does not apply to all sales of artworks. A royalty is only due if the following conditions are met:
• the artwork is a copyright protected work of graphic or plastic art;
• it is sold for more than £1,000;
• it is sold in the secondary market with the involvement of an art market professional (e.g. auction house);
• and it is sold in the UK, Australia or a country in the European Economic Area (EEA)
Lots that may be subject to Artist’s Resale Right will be denoted by this symbol:
This royalty, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser.

These conditions of business consist of:
1. Information for Buyers;
2. Terms of Consignment (for Sellers) - not included in this catalogue ;
3. Terms of Sale (for Bidders and Buyers).
Introduction
The following notes are intended to assist Bidders and Buyers, particularly those that are inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All of our auctions are governed by our Terms and Conditions and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction. Our Terms and Conditions are available for inspection at our salerooms and the Terms of Sale are printed in the back of our auction catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Terms and Conditions that you do not fully understand.
Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale carefully before bidding in the auction. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale.
Methods of payment
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. We accept credit card payments to an upper limit of £5,000. Usually 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. For our Homes and Interiors auctions, items not removed by 5pm on Friday may be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 (plus VAT) for administration and £2 (plus VAT) per lot per day.
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.
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. 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 will be 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 in order 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. From 1 January 2020, these charges will be charged at 0% while bidding via Sworders Website. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 4.95% plus VAT. These charges will be payable to us on top of the Hammer Price and our Buyer’s Commission.
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. These Terms of Sale relate to auctions conducted by an Auctioneer only. We have separate terms for online only auctions.

3.6 We may bid on Lots on behalf of the Seller up to one bid below the Reserve.
3.7 We may refuse to accept any bid if it is reasonable for us to do so.
3.8 Bidding increments will be at our sole discretion (but will be in line with standard auction practice).
4. The purchase price

a. the Hammer Price;
b. a premium of 2 5 % plus VAT of the Hammer Price or 1 8 % plus VAT for our Fine Wine and Spirits Auction; c. any artist’s resale right royalty payable on the sale of the Lot; and
d. any VAT due.
5 . VAT
5.1 You shall be liable for the payment of any VAT applicable on the Hammer Price, Premium and Shipping Costs (if applicable) due for a Lot. Please see the symbols used in the auction catalogue for that Lot and the ‘Information for Buyers’ in our auction catalogue for further information.
5.2 We will charge VAT at the current rate at the date of the auction.
6. The contract between you and the Seller
6.1 The contract for the purchase of the Lot between you and the Seller will be formed when the Auctioneer records the winning Lot in the sale book accepting the highest bid for the Lot at auction, unless due diligence information required by the Auctioneer under the Money Laundering Regulations 2019 in accordance with their internal procedure remains outstanding, in which case the contract will be formed when that information is accepted by the Auctioneer as complete.
6.2 You may directly enforce any terms in the Terms of Consignment against a Seller to the extent that you suffer damages and/or loss as a result of the Seller’s breach of the Terms of Consignment.
6.3 If you breach these Terms of Sale, you may be responsible for damages and/or losses suffered by a Seller or us. If we are contacted by a Seller who wishes to bring a claim against you, we may at our discretion provide the Seller with information or assistance in relation to that claim.
6.4 We normally act as an agent only and will not have any responsibility for default by you or the Seller (unless we are the Seller of the Lot).
7. Payment
7.1 Immediately following your successful bid on a Lot you will:
7.1.1 give to us, if not already provided to our satisfaction, proof of identity in a form acceptable to us (and any other information that we require in order to comply with our anti-money laundering obligations); and
7.1.2 pay to us the total amount due in any way that we agree to accept payment.
7.1.3 pay in full the Shipping Costs prior to the Goods being shipped, should you agree to the Auctioneer’s shipping agent delivering the Goods.
7.2 If you owe us any money, we may use any payment made by you to repay these debts.

8.3 If you agree to the Auctioneer delivering the Goods, only when the full Shipping Costs have been paid will the Goods be dispatched. We reserve the right that some Lots will not be suitable for an automated shipping estimate and will require bespoke quotes from the shipping agent.
8.4 Should you decide to use the delivery service, you thereby agree to allow the Auctioneer to share relevant personal data that we hold with the shipping agent in order to allow effective communication between the shipping agent and you, and to enable delivery.
8.5 If you do not collect the Lot within the time period under Clause 8.2, you will be responsible for any reasonable removal and storage charges in relation to that Lot.

We reserve the right to charge you a selling Commission at our standard rates on any such resale of the Lot.
9. Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases
9.1 Please do not bid on a Lot if you do not intend to buy it. If your bid is successful, these Terms of Sale will apply to you.

9.1.1 take action against you for damages for breach of contract;
9.1.2 reverse the sale of the Lot to you and/or any other Lots sold by us to you;
9.1.3 resell the Lot by auction or private treaty (in which case you will have to pay any difference between the Price you should have paid for the Lot and the Price we sell it for as well as the charges outlined in Clause 8.7). Please note that if we sell the Lot for a higher amount than your winning bid, the extra money will belong to the Seller;
9.1.4 remove, store and insure the Lot at your expense;
9.1.5 if you do not pay us within five business days of your successful bid, we may charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month on the total amount due;
9.1.6 keep that Lot or any other Lot sold to you until you pay the total amount due, including Shipping Costs where applicable;
9.1.7 reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or impose conditions before we accept bids from you; and/or
9.1.8 if we sell any Lots for you, use the money made on these Lots to repay any amount you owe us.
9.2 We will act reasonably when exercising our rights under Clause 9.1. We will contact you before exercising these rights and try to work with you to correct any noncompliance by you with these Terms of Sale.
10. Health and safety
Although we take reasonable precautions regarding health and safety, you are on our premises at your own risk. Please note the lay-out of the premises and security arrangements. Neither we nor our employees or agents are responsible for the safety of you or your property when you visit our premises, unless you suffer any injury to your person or damage to your property as a result of our employees’ or our agents’ negligence.
11. Warranties
11.1 The Seller warrants to us and to you that:
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
11.1.3 as far as the Seller is aware, the main characteristics of the Lot set out in the auction catalogue (as amended by any notice displayed in the saleroom or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction) are correct.
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 second-hand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/ or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed.
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 13.2.
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.
