Lot 17 A Faience de Purmerende vase, c.1900, Dutch, of squat form decorated in the Egyptian-style, inscribed ‘NB Faience de Purmerende Hollande Dec 1017 DVov’, 19.5cm high £250 - 350
Basing himself in Melbourne from 1888, Prenzel’s work was pivotal to the movement and epoch of ‘Marvellous Melbourne’. In the early 1900s, he predominantly produced commissioned works for churches and public spaces in Continental, rococo and baroque styles, before opening his own furniture workshop on Toorak Road in central Melbourne in 1910. From there, Prenzel came to pioneer the secessionist movement of Australian woodcarving, known as Gum Nut Art Nouveau.
Robert Prenzel was born in 1866 in the Prussian town of Kittliztreben, in present-day Poland. After a four-year apprenticeship, further studies at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, and another four years of work experience around Europe, he emigrated to Australia at the age of 22. Trained in the classical European styles, he went on to define Australian craft and design throughout the first quarter of the 20th century.

Lot 18 A KPM Berlin Art Nouveau vase, finely decorated with raised gilt decoration on a rare ‘in-glaze’ tortoiseshell ground, with ram’s head handles, underglaze blue sceptre mark, overglaze red orb mark, impressed date code ‘N’ for 1913, and various other artist marks, 17.5cm high £500 - 700
Using predominantly native timbers, Prenzel produced everything from pictorial wall plaques to longcase clocks. Developing a unique artistic style, his works combined the vogue of European Art Nouveau with carved motifs of Australian flora and fauna, the majority of which were based on paintings, descriptive texts and photographs by his contemporaries. Through the use of this two-dimensional imagery, Prenzel often allowed for individual interpretations and imaginations of his subject matter, introducing minor changes and alterations to each threedimensional rendering, giving each its unique characteristics. Prenzel’s work was phenomenally well received by his contemporaries, both in Australia and abroad. Throughout his career, he championed Australian flora and fauna, founding a botanical garden in South Melbourne and serving as an advisor on the subject to the Commonwealth government. However, his endeavours were cut short by the anti-German sentiments of the post-World War I era, eventually forcing him into retirement during the mid-1920s. In spite of this, he continued carving and working from his home in Black Rock until his death in 1941.

Lot 15 shows Prenzel’s most recognised designs from the peak of his career. ‘Woman with a Pipe’ and ‘The Laughing Man’, after the original photograph by Henry King, were among his most frequent and celebrated subject matter, both as small embellishments and as standalone portrait carvings. Having been dismounted from their original backboards, these works are indicative of the intricacy and skill of Prenzel’s carvings.

ARTS & CRAFTS 3-155 Lots 52-61 'The North American Indian', is one of the most expensive undertakings in the history of book production and one of the most comprehensive ethnographic records of the native tribes of North America, or of any aboriginal people. 'The North American Indian' took sixteen years longer to complete than projected and exceeded its budget by nearly $1.4 million. Curtis's immense work contains one of the largest visual records of Native Americans in existence, produced in lavish style under the patronage of J Pierpont Morgan. Edward Sheriff Curtis was born in White Water, Wisconsin, in 1868, but his great interest in American Indians developed after his family moved to Minnesota. Here, Curtis lived near the Chippewa, Menominee, and Winnebago tribes. Through instruction manuals available at the time, the teenage Curtis built crude cameras and taught himself the rudiments of photography. In 1887, the Curtis family moved to Washington Territory in order to find a more temperate climate for Curtis's ailing father. There Edward Curtis encountered many of the Native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest. The sudden death of his father left Curtis responsible for the family, and he provided for them by farming, fishing, digging clams and doing chores for neighbours. Throughout this time, Curtis continued to hone his photographic skills and, in 1891, purchased a share in a photographic studio for $150. This venture lasted less than a year, but Curtis soon formed a partnership with Thomas Guptill to build a photographic studio in Seattle. The process of making photogravures was developed in the 1850s to produce a photographic image from an engraving plate. Once a photograph is exposed, a glass transparency is made from the negative. A series of chemical transfers to a copper plate produces an etched copper plate of the original photographic image. From 1896 to 1930, Curtis photographed every major Native American tribe west of the Mississippi, taking over 40,000 negatives of 80 tribes. Curtis selected just one twentieth of his graphic record to represent his artistic vision of North American tribes.

3-155 ARTS & CRAFTS Lots 121-126 A collection of cartoons for stained glass by George Daniels (1854-1940) These full-size working drawings by the artist George Daniels (1854-1940) were all made for stained glass windows dating from the 1920s and 1930s, which were, in part, designed by the architect Frederick Charles Eden FSA FRIBA (1864-1944). Although nominally the work of F C Eden - who secured the commissions and was responsible for the execution of the designs - the windows were actually the result of a collaborative process, in which George Daniels’ cartoons were an essential component. Eden’s contribution was limited to drawing initial sketches and creating the ornamental border patterns; all the figure-drawing – as in this collection of cartoons – was Daniels’ work.

THE LAWRIE GATEHOUSE COLLECTION OF ART DECO FURNITURE AND TRAVEL POSTERS 156-233 Lawrie Gatehouse (1943-2020) was an avid collector of Art Deco and posters, drawn to the printed medium through his primary love of the golden age of steam and travel. In his professional life, Lawrie was a mechanical engineer who founded Process Systems International, a successful engineering firm in Northampton in 1992. Another of his lifelong passions was drag racing, after getting hooked at the Blackbushe DragFest in 1964. He consequently spent over 50 years committed to the sport. His wife, Judith remembers trips to auctions and fairs and the passion he had for all works Art Deco. Ahead of his collection being offered to the next generation of avid collector, Judith shares with us her memories of a fascinating life with her late husband... I first met Lawrie in February 1998 and he told me that he had the ‘collecting bug’ for antiques from the Art Deco period. He called it a hobby, but I soon realised that for him it was an absolute passion, and it became his life’s work. Lawrie introduced me to a world I hadn’t experienced before. We would visit Art Deco fairs all over the country. Lawrie enjoyed meeting the stallholders and fellow collectors where he learned and shared knowledge about the artefacts on sale. He recognised the hard work and commitment that went into the setting up a stall and he only collected pieces that he felt were absolutely true and authentic to the Art Deco period.
Lawrie Gatehouse
He loved the innovative streamlined style, the bright colours and the flamboyance of the age. But, above all, he admired the skill and exquisite craftsmanship - the like of which he felt would not be seen again. Lawrie’s collection of 1920’s posters showed his engineering background and his enjoyment of travel. He had an extensive knowledge of cars, boats and planes but I believe his love for anything with an engine came second to his love of Art Deco. Lawrie was an avid reader and he studied countless books about the leading designers of that time. Many hours were spent talking about the hand painted porcelain Lawrie painstakingly collected and he was thrilled if he could find some new pieces thus enabling him to complete a set. I feel privileged to have shared a very happy life with Lawrie and to have met some lovely people along the way from the world of Art Deco. I hope those of you who procure even a small part of his collection, will enjoy it as much as he did. Judith Gatehouse, August 2021.

STUDIO POTTERY 399-420 JOHN MALTBY (1936-2020) Rejecting the conventional Anglo-Oriental traditions defined by Bernard Leach, John Maltby spearheaded the development of a new Modernist movement in British Studio Pottery from the mid-1960s until his death in 2020. Initially trained as a sculptor at Leicester University and Goldsmiths, Maltby’s career as an art potter began in 1962, working with David Leach at Bovey Tracey. Leaving Leach’s tutelage in 1964, however, he felt no connection with the practices and aesthetics, and instead set out his own artistic direction, which would redefine British Studio Pottery. Rather than drawing from the Japanese styles worked by his contemporaries, Maltby was influenced by artists such as Henry Moore, Alfred Wallis, Picasso and Paul Klee, emphasising the symbiosis of abstract geometry and colour. Working in bolder colours and asymmetric shapes, Maltby never regarded his work as mere vessels, but rather each piece as a sculptural work, enclosing particular memories and emotions.
Lot 402 *John Maltby (1936-2020), a standing crowned figure, stoneware, the crown with two hanging ceramic beaded suspensions, with geometric motifs to the body, with artist’s monogram, 60cm high, on a fixed painted wood plinth £1,000 - 1,500
118
The concept of memory was always at the heart of Maltby’s work, and this notion was reinforced in 1996 when, following heart surgery, Maltby was forced to change his practice being unable to work the clay as he had previously. Rather than abandoning his craft, Maltby made the most significant change in his artistic career – the transition from turned pottery vessels to sculpture. The shift in practice made Maltby’s previously employed patterns and aesthetics spring to life and introduced many returning ‘characters’, taking the form of birds, fishermen, kings, knights and many more. These characters took on token characteristics of Maltby’s life and he embodied into them specific memories or emotions evoked by pieces of art or music. Maltby always sought for his work to regale a narrative, be it the far away chivalrous stories of knights and kings, or the humble tales of the local fishing folk surrounding his Devon home – they all held equal importance in Maltby’s mind. Continuously revisiting these for the last twenty-four years of his life, Maltby has built a unique legacy in the echelons of British Art Pottery. The playfulness in his work continues to attract collectors, new and old, and has made it universally applicable in any interior context. They are, at their heart, conversation pieces, and in discussing them, they become subject to new narratives and new memories.

Salvage Hunters: The Restorers 421-427
An Avro Anson aircraft seat This stunning military aircraft seat once graced the interior of an Avro Anson military plane. The Avro Anson was a twin-engine plane launched in 1935, on the cusp of WWII. With its durable frame and above-average flight distances, the Anson was mainly used to train bomber crews before they began flying heavy frontline aircraft, such as the famous Avro Lancaster Bomber. This seat features its original restored and restrengthened leather, including the Avro maker’s mark. The lightweight tubular metal frame comes in its original painted finish and has been strengthened to increase its longevity, while new webbing replaces missing seat support straps. A missing belt has been authentically reproduced, resulting in a museum-ready exhibit or a unique chair for the home.
Lot 421 An Avro Anson aircraft seat, with a black leather seat, safety belt, with a back pocket, stamped ‘Avro’, 47cm wide 50cm deep 92cm high £250 - 350
Lot 422 An Adam,Rouilly anatomical torso, 1950s, painted SOMSO-plast with removable organs, with an easel back, 47.5cm wide 25cm deep 97.5cm high £500 - 800
An Adam,Rouilly torso This anatomical model, thought to be an original mid-20th century Adam,Rouilly, would sit perfectly in a museum, or could make an intriguing decorative figure for a home. Adam,Rouilly, the pioneers of the anatomical model industry, have been producing teaching aids for over 100 years. This model’s face has been restored to its original form by a master sculptor and meticulously repainted, with a missing eye and brain replaced. The torso has been repaired, with missing pieces such as the heart, intestines and chest plate reproduced in fine detail and delicately repainted. NOTE: This piece is not intended for a medical school, so not every piece is removable.
A fairground fixture This quirky fairground moon is full of character and would make a real statement piece for a home, loft conversion, business or hotel. The imposing crescent moon, originally on the top of a tower drop-ride called a ‘Rocket Ride’, has been given a new lease of life. Surface cracks have been carefully repaired using a fibreglass and resin mix, then delicately re-painted. The piece was destined for the skip after the ride failed technical regulations, but after a full lighting restoration, as well as the introduction of a motor, it can now rotate and dazzle, as a true piece of fairground memorabilia. 124
Lot 423 A fairground fixture, modelled as a grinning crescent moon, painted and sculpted fibreglass, decorated with lights, mounted on a metal base, 150cm wide 80cm deep 250cm high £400 - 600

A Seeburg jukebox This Seeburg ‘Mardi Gras’ jukebox from 1977 features a bold, psychadelic style and flashing lights, a clear nod to the disco era in which it was made. Seeburg were the leading innovators in jukebox design from the 1940s onwards, introducing the first jukeboxes capable of playing 100 songs, more than doubling the number of songs that you could play on a jukebox at the time.
A wingback armchair This classic wingback chair has been brought into the 21st century with a striking and contemporary upholstery, perfect for the modern home. The wingback style dates back to 1600s Britain, when the large, ‘wing’ attachments to the side of the backrest would protect the user from draughts and allow them to warm by the fireplace.
Frank McCarthy poster This ‘You Only Live Twice’ James Bond subway poster from 1967 is a great collectors’ item. One of three different poster designs for the first release of this film, the censors missed this version’s somewhat risqué nature, depicting the secret agent ‘enjoying’ the company of a group of women. ‘You Only Live Twice’ was the fifth in the James Bond series and the last film featuring Sean Connery as the MI6 agent. The film was a smash hit and grossed over $111 million at the box office. The original artwork for this poster was designed by Robert McGinnis, a prolific American painter, and recently sold for $65,000 (£50,390) at auction. A specialist paper conservator has strengthened, delicately cleaned and lightly retouched this aged poster, returning it to its original 007 charm.

Lot 427 ‘Ms. Pac-Man’ arcade machine, 1982, coin-operated, decorated in polychrome, with plastic joystick and buttons, 24in screen, 64cm wide 83cm deep 173cm high £500 - 800
Ms. Pac-Man arcade machine This original ‘Ms. Pac-Man’ machine, dating back to 1982, is a true piece of arcade memorabilia, perfect for an arcade, retro bar or home. The first arcade game to feature a female lead, Ms. Pac-Man retains a special place in arcade game history. It was developed by a group of Massachusetts Institute of Technology drop-outs, who expanded on the earlier Pac-Man game, introducing new features, such as early AI so that the ‘ghosts’ moved in unpredictable patterns. The game was hugely successful, becoming the 4th highest grossing arcade game of all time. This original machine is like new, featuring its original monitor and an exact replication of the original artwork and paint. With an authentic replacement gameboard, the distinctive Pac-Man ‘wakka wakka’ will be heard for years to come.

Acquired by the owner’s grandfather directly from the Festival of Britain site when it was being dismantled. The ‘Antelope’ was produced to furnish the outdoor terraces of the Festival Hall at the Festival of Britain in 1951. It was available in either chair or bench versions. The seat was painted in the Festival colours of yellow, blue, red or grey. The ‘Antelope’ demonstrates the economic use of material and form. The delicate curvilinear outline and distinctive ball feet typify the contemporary or festival style of the early 1950s. The design gained an international reputation for Ernest Race. Like Race’s ‘BA3’ chair, the ‘Antelope’ received a commendation at the 1954 Milan Triennale. Race Furniture Ltd. put it into commercial production in the mid-1950s.

Lot 458 A Venini ‘Pezzato Arlecchino’ vase, c.1950, designed by Fulvio Bianconi, model no. 4319, of compressed bottle form, decorated with opaque and transparent green, red, sapphire and lattimo tesserae, with three line ‘Venini Murano Italia’ acid mark, 35.5cm high £6,000 - 8,000 A similar example was presented at the 25th Venice Biennale in 1950, which was subsequently exhibited in 1951 at the 9th Milan Triennale. See ‘Fulvio Bianconi at Venini’ by Marino Barovier and Carlo Sonego, p.181. Also ‘Venetian Glass, The Nancy Olnick & George Spanau Collection’, Exhibition Catalogue, Autumn 2000 American Craft Museum, pp.116 and 219, where it describes the panels as transparent and pasta vitrea glass. In addition, see another example being from the Steinberg Collection, Lichtenstein. The Pezzato vase was one of the most iconic designs that Fulvio Bianconi created for Venini. Bianconi used a glass mosaic in various ways producing brilliant chromatic effects. The technique enjoyed a considerable success. The glass pieces or tesserae are first made from coloured glass canes flattened and cut to various sizes before being arranged into a mosaic. The mosaic was then heated on a fire stone to weld the different colours together. They were picked up to form the walls of the final piece. The glass is then blown and hot worked into the desired form. Most of the designs were in transparent glass, but there are also some made from a combination of opaque pasta vitrea and transparent tesserae. These bottle vases with combined opaque and transparent tesserae became known as ‘Arlecchino’ designs and had the greatest chromatic brilliance. The bottle vase at Lot 458 is one of these.

Lot 607 An ‘AP-19 Papa Bear’ chair, designed by Hans Wegner for A P Stolen, Denmark, reupholstered in a blue-grey fabric with a buttoned back, teak arm panels, raised on oak supports, numbered ‘5’ and with further handwritten numbers to the frame, 80cm wide 95cm deep 100cm high, seat 42cm high £10,000 - 15,000 ‘The ideal chair does not exist’, Hans J Wegner, one of the most iconic names in Design history once said. Perhaps he was right? Wegner spent his entire life in pursuit of the unattainable ideal, which would see him reinventing the chair again and again for almost half a century in over 500 different ways. Throughout life we are told to sit up straight and not to slouch on sofas and armchairs – Wegner turned this notion on its head and was often seen with his legs swung over the armrests of some of his most iconic designs. At the centre of Wegner’s design philosophy was always universal comfort - the ability to always sit in whichever way is most comfortable and shift effortlessly between various positions. Born in 1914 in Tønder, Denmark, Wegner began his apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker at age fourteen. In 1940, after finishing his studies at the Royal Danish Academy, he was invited by Erik Møller and Arne Jacobsen to design the furniture for Århus city hall. The project was the first glimpse of Wegner’s capabilities, and opened in 1942 to critical acclaim, with one of the chairs sold to the Danish Design Museum. With his newfound domestic success, Wegner opened up his own furniture studio and continued to produce pieces that still define Danish design to this day, such as the Wishbone Chair. With the Papa Bear Chair, or Bamsestol, designed in 1951, Wegner sought to redefine the traditional straight-backed wing back chair, making it more inviting and versatile. The name came from one of his early reviewers, describing the teak-topped tapering armrests surrounding the sitter as being cradled by a massive bear. The name stuck, perfectly encapsulating the comfort of a design still produced to this day and inspiring numerous interpretations and copies. The same year, Wegner was awarded the prestigious Lunning Prize, an honour he shared with Finnish design savant Tapio Wirkkala. Wegner kept producing groundbreaking designs throughout his life, ranging from more conservative models, such as the CH23, to the modernist masterpieces, such as the Flag Chair and Wegner’s personal favourite – the Ox Chair. Keeping innovation playfulness at heart, form and function were always kept closely coupled, resulting in an immense breadth in both styles and materials used. The careful selection of materials and the attention to craftsmanship has also ensured their endurance, with many original production models surviving in good condition to this day. As such, whether it is fine dining in the Wishbone Chair or the intimate embrace of the Papa Bear, Wegner’s designs continue to define interiors, guaranteeing style and comfort lasting for generations. With a track record like that, there is no wonder that many of Wegner’s chairs are today considered just what he thought unattainable: ideal.

Lot 734 *Nicolas Lavarenne (French, b.1953), ‘Moyen Passeur’, a patinated bronze and stainless steel sculpture, numbered ‘5/8’ and stamped ‘Lavarenne 99’Cire Perdue Bronze 2003’, bronze 190cm long poles 735cm long approximately £7,000 - 10,000 Nicolas Lavarenne was born in Chamalières, Puy de Dôme in 1953. A self-taught sculptor he describes his work thus: ‘I sculpt in a realistic manner by seeking expression through the attitudes of the human body; I work on the paradoxical duality of situations. Perfectly balanced, but instantaneous, the bodies oscillate before the spectator, who makes them fall over or get up’. In 1984, Lavarenne won the Prix du Public at the Biennale of UMAM in Nice. He has had many solo exhibitions and his work is in private and public collections throughout Europe and the USA. This sculpture is monumental in size, the female form is arched in either ecstasy or graceful suffering and is raised high on the stainless steel rods. It would appear the sculpture has been displayed in a small lake as the base of the stand has calcification.

GLOSSARY OF PICTURE CATALOGUING TERMS 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.
Bears/with signature, inscription, date in our opinion the signature/inscription/date are not by the hand of the named artist.
Circle of David Cox in our opinion a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.
The addition of a question mark (?) after any of the above cataloguing terms indicates an element of doubt.
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
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.
ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT (ARR) 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 Euros 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%. Hammer Price
Royalty
From 0 to €50,000
4%
From €50,000.01 to €200,000
3%
From €200,000.01 to €350,000
1%
From €350,000.01 to €500,000 Exceeding €500,000
0.5% 0.25%
What is the qualifying threshold? An artwork must sell for more than €1,000 to qualify for a royalty. The law defines the price threshold in Euros and, because the exchange rate between the two currencies changes daily, the equivalent in Pounds Sterling must be worked out according to the exchange rate on the date the artwork was sold.
212
What nationality must an artist be to qualify? The Artist’s Resale Right applies to the sale of artworks in the European Economic Area (EEA). The following countries are in the EEA: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. 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 €1000; 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 or another country in the European Economic Area (EEA).
This royalty, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser. It is exempt of VAT.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. INFORMATION FOR 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 Port auctions when it is 15%. 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 condition of Lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clause 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.
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.
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 safe 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 have Article 10 certificates. 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 Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (‘AHVLA’) 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 §.
Estimates of Shipping Costs on our website are based on the low estimate, whilst the actual cost is based on Hammer Price.

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. Title and collection of purchases 8.1 Once you have paid us in full the total amount due for any Lot, ownership of that Lot will transfer to you. You may not claim or collect a Lot until you have paid for it. 8.2 You will (at your own expense) collect any Lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than 5pm on the Friday following the auction, or such later date as is specified in the printed catalogue or on our Website. 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. 8.6 Risk of loss or damage to the Lot will pass to you when you (or your agents) take physical possession of the Lot. 8.7 If you do not collect the Lot that you have paid for within thirty days after the auction, we may sell the Lot. We will pay the Proceeds of any such sale to you, but will deduct any storage charges or other sums that we have incurred in the storage and sale of the 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. This means that you will have to carry out your obligations set out in these Terms of Sale. If you do not comply with these Terms of Sale we may (acting on behalf of the Seller and ourselves) pursue one or more of the following measures: 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 Lot 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. 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. 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:

The rights we have to claim against you for breach of these Terms of Sale may be used by either us, our employees or agents, or the Seller, its employees or agents, as appropriate. 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.
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. 15.

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. 17.4 Each of the clauses of these Terms of Sale operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect. 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 are: (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 noncontractual 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
