Welcome to Sworders’ Design Sale and 2021! We have refreshed our catalogue and logo, and we look forward to welcoming you to our sale at Stansted Mountfitchet for the viewing. After an uncertain 2020, we are looking forward to this year’s sales and have some fabulous consignments for you to pick through in this catalogue and our other three sales in May, July and October. I thought you’d like to know a little bit more about our consignments, as so often we sell items without context and background, and all items have a story to tell, whether it was who bought them, their interests, or their professions – it really opens one’s eyes into the variety of what we sell through our Design and other sales. We are excited to have a new member of the team joining us, Otto Billström, who will be helping to grow our sales this year and into the future. We all look forward seeing you in the saleroom soon – enjoy the catalogue! John Black - Head of Design

DERYCK HEALEY Deryck was a successful textile and print designer, who having grown up in South Africa, set up his consultancy business, Deryck Healey International, in the 1960s, which had clients throughout the world. His company won the Queen’s Award for Industry in 1974, for export achievement and services to the textile industry. He also managed to find time to teach at the Royal College of Art where he was the Professor of Colour. His eclectic tastes were highlighted in an interview with Australian Vogue in 1978, where he declared that his one decree in decorating was ‘There’s no such thing as something doesn’t go. I throw together modern, period and antique in a casual way. It’s an anything goes attitude’. Author of many books, featured here are some of the pages from ‘New Art of Flower Design’ he published in 1986, which incorporates some of the lots we have for sale in this catalogue. In his later years Deryck also worked as an experimental artist; one of the highlights of his art is a large installation inspired by textiles, which is on view in the Bridgewater Hall Manchester. Deryck died in 2004 and his son has decided to pass on some of his collection for others to enjoy.

After active service in the First World War Charles Sargeant Jagger was responsible for a number of well-known war memorials, which in London includes the Great Western Railways’ war memorial at Paddington Station and the Royal Artillery Memorial at Hyde Park Corner. He was appreciated for the rugged and realistic style of his work, which clearly comes across in the statues on the ICI building. Imperial Chemical House is a Grade II listed building situated on Millbank, London. It was designed by Sir Frank Baines in the neoclassical style of the inter-war years, and constructed between 1927 and 1929 as the headquarters for the newly created Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI). Thames House, the next building south along Millbank, was also designed by Baines and constructed at the same time. Once one of Britain’s largest industrial companies. ICI became a huge global concern, employing tens of thousands of people, but unfortunately, towards the end of the 20th century, it was sold off to AkzoNobel.

ART DECO 112-251

172 John Guida (1897-1965), born to an Italian father and an American mother, was an important Italian stylist, designer and illustrator. As a child he moved to Rome where he attended Visconti High School. In 1914 he participated in the fashion exhibition at the Circolo Degli Artisti together with Sartorio, Grassi, Innocenti and Angoletta. John Guida was a regular visitor to the Paris fashion shows, coming into contact with famous tailors such as Jean Patou, Jeanne Lanvin, Lucien Lelong, Madeleine Vionnet and Coco Chanel from whom he drew inspiration to find his own personal style, becoming an official dress designer for some of the most well-known Italian tailors such as Coen, Sanet and La Merveilleuse of Turin. His designs remained characterised by a refined linearity and a constant attention to precious detail. Elongated and slender female figures were often underlined by loose skirts and flowing pants; the sophisticated profiles were highlighted by short or gathered hair, inspired by the typical garçonne model of the time. He was also active as an illustrator for the women’s magazines ‘La Donna’ and ‘Cose’, and as an advertising designer for the fashion and perfumery sectors.

‘The Dancer of Kapurthala’ is believed to have been inspired by Anita Delgado (1890-1962), a flamenco dancer who captured the heart of the Maharajah of Kapurthala when he saw her perform at a café, while attending the wedding of Spain’s King Alfonso XIII. They later married and she changed her name to Maharani Prem Kaur Sahiba.

The distinctive sculptures he produced, in the Art Deco style, were frequently made with bronze and ivory - a tradition that had been used in ancient Greece and commonly known as chryselephantine.

Chiparus, fascinated by the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb and influenced by Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, was also inspired by the exotic - something that is very evident in this fantastic sculpture.

ART DECO 112-251 Jules Leleu (1883-1961) Born into a family of artisans and artists in Boulogne-sur-Mer in Northern France, Jules Leleu was one of the fathers of French Art Deco design. Although he ‘never achieved the international fame of Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann, Jean Michel Frank, or Le Corbusier,’ The New York Times once wrote, ‘he was just as successful and probably more prolific than his better-known contemporaries.’ Leleu exhibited at the prestigious ‘Exposition des Arts Decoratifs’ in 1925, for which he designed the chairs for the Grand Salon and the Music Room, both part of the French Embassy Exhibition, and also exhibited a complete suite of furniture in his own space on the Esplanade des Invalides. He won a Grand Prize at the 1925 Exposition, and one of his pieces was purchased by the Metropolitan Museum in New York City. Often compared with the furniture designs of Ruhlmann, Leleu’s chairs, tables, and cabinets emphasized simple shapes, exotic woods, and marquetry, and inlaid ivory and other embellishments.

245A

As these techniques had been brought to France from the Orient, Leleu employed Oriental craftspeople for this work. Hamanaka, one of the great masters of lacquer work, and the famed Jean Dunand, who had learned the skills from Hamanaka, collaborated with Leleu on pieces where lacquer was an element. Leleu was very prolific, and was also constantly evolving and developing his styles. The awards that he won brought him many important clients and commissions, including the ocean liners ‘Ile de France’ and the famed and ill-fated ‘Normandie’. Among other important commissions were a dining room for the Elysée Palace, and, later on, the Grand Salon des Ambassadeurs at La Societé des Nations in Geneva, called the Salon Leleu, and still in existence. The collection comes from the descendants of Mrs Celestine Galani, the wife of John Galani, who ran a Shipping Company, and who was a friend of Jules Leleu. She commissioned him in the 1940s, to decorate her entire apartment at 81 Avenue Marceau in Paris. Their flat was less than one mile from the Maison Leleu which was at 65 Avenue Franklin Roosevelt, in the 8th arrondissement, in Paris.

Run by Aida, and later by her daughter Anita Foster, it catered for three different groups of students: those that undertook dance training only, younger pupils that had full education plus both dancing and drama training, and older students taking drama training only. The School closed in 1970, when these were acquired by the vendor.

Lots 289-301 The following collection of cartoons were all produced for Biorex Laboratories Ltd. which was incorporated on 5 October 1944, it was set up by a doctor and a chemist, who had studied at Cambridge and was interested in the natural extract of plants and materials. Since the 17th century, liquorice had been used to treat stomach ulcers - and the main extract was glycyrrhetinic acid which Biorex then developed into a cream called Biosone GA, which had the same qualities of hydrocortisone cream. The cartoons were hung in the boardroom and were most probably all part of a marketing campaign in the 1950s. They were given to the vendor who started working at the company in 1965.

Rowland Emett was born in New Southgate, London on 22 October 1906, the elder son of the proprietor of a small advertising business. Educated at Waverley Grammar School, Birmingham, he showed his father’s enthusiasm for invention, and registered his first patent at the age of fourteen. However, he had ambitions to be a landscape painter and studied with great success at the Birmingham School of Art. The combination of artistic and scientific talents allowed Emett to work as an industrial draughtsman, while contributing with increasing regularity to Punch, Lilliput and other magazines from the late 1930s. During the Second World War, Emett worked as a draughtsman on the development of jet engines. In 1941, he was chosen to illustrate ‘Bells and Grass’, a series of humorous rhymes that Walter de la Mare had originally written for Punch. The poet was so impressed by the result that he immediately encouraged Emett to illustrate an edition of his more famous book, ‘Peacock Pie’. In the same year, Emett married, and he and his wife set about producing the delightful children’s book, ‘Anthony and Antimacassar’ (1943). About the same time, Emett’s cartoons began to be collected in volume form, ‘A Book of Curious Happenings’ (1943) initiating a series that culminated in ‘Far Twittering’ (1949).

In 1951, Emett reached a wider public with his designs for The Far Tottering and Oyster Creek Railway, and its featured engine, ‘Nellie’, which was sited at Battersea Park during the Festival of Britain. As his eyesight faltered, he converted more of his illustrations into increasingly complex three-dimensional machines that, from 1956, he constructed himself at a blacksmith’s forge near his home in West Sussex. He received international success through his work on the film ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ (1968), when he gave substance to the adventures of the inventor, Caractacus Potts. He achieved this by employing a team of assistants to help him make eight of his machines for the filming and a further thirty-seven for international promotional purposes. These and other inventions continue to prove popular throughout the world and remain on public exhibition in such esteemed institutions as the National Air and Space Museum in Washington. A parodist of the real world of functional engineering, Emett had long proved to be the Genius of British Eccentricity, a fact acknowledged by his being awarded an OBE in 1978. This was confirmed by the overwhelming response to the most important exhibition of his career, ‘Rowland Emett: From ‘Punch’ to ‘Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang’ and beyond’ at the Chris Beetles Gallery in 1988 and, augmented by a number of the machines, at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington. He died on 13 November 1990 in a nursing home in Hassocks, Sussex, close to Wild Goose Cottage, his home in Ditchling.

296 Norman Thelwell was born in Tranmere, Birkenhead, Cheshire on 3 May 1923, the youngest son of a maintenance engineer at Lever Brothers, Port Sunlight. He was educated locally at Well Lane Primary School and Rock Ferry High School, where he began to show a talent for drawing. In 1939, Thelwell joined a Liverpool dock office as a junior clerk and, on the outbreak of war, spent nights fire watching. Three years later, he joined the second battalion of the East Yorkshire Regiment and was soon transferred to the intelligence section because of his ability to draw. During training as a wireless operator in 1944, he also took evening classes at Nottingham School of Art, later gaining a degree at Liverpool College of Art. Known to many purely as ‘Thelwell’, he went on to become a hugely popular British cartoonist, producing over sixty front covers for Punch and famous for his series of humorous images of ponies.

307 Lot 307 Lane Gordon Thorlaksson (Canadian, 1937-2009), a sang-de-boeuf glazed vase, with an integral stand, incised, signed, numbered and dated ‘84 and ‘85, 20cm high £300 - 500 Lane Gordon Thorlaksson was born in 1937 in Winnipeg, Manitoba and moved to Vancouver as a child. In his twenties, he represented Canada in the 1959 Chicago Pan-American Games, running alongside Henry ‘Harry’ Winston Jerome in both the 100 yard and 220-yard dash. Following this, he attended San Jose University of California and in 1966 received a BFA in Ceramics. Working with clay was Thorlaksson’s passion. He was fascinated with Asian ceramics, in particular the Song dynasty Chinese pot forms and glazes. In 1985, the Mayor of Vancouver, Mike Harcourt, visited China on a goodwill mission for the twinning of Vancouver with Guangzhou China. As gifts, he took with him several of Thorlaksson’s ceramics and presented them to Cao Yun-ping, Secretary-General of the People’s Municipal Government of Guangzhou. The pieces were well received and local Chinese potters were interested to learn about his glazing techniques.

308 In 1987, Thorlaksson was invited to visit China’s Guangzhou University to exhibit more of his work. He was aided in this exchange by Joanne Mah, the Director of Intercultural Training and Educational Consultants (ITEC), who had worked with the Harcourt exchange. In 1988, she and her husband sponsored a pre-gallery showing of Thorlaksson’s ceramics at the ITEC’s Hong Kong office, prior to an exhibition at Alvin Gallery in Hong Kong. Thorlaksson was celebrated and introduced to academics and the media, including the head of ceramics at the Guangzhou Institute of Fine Arts. Local Chinese potters were eager to learn about his firing techniques, which used multiple firings to create special glaze characteristics. They were also intrigued to understand how he designed his own stands as an integrated part of his presentation. Unlike Asian potters who used wooden stands, Thorlaksson produced his stands in clay, matching each stand in aesthetic and tone to its pot. This two-part process elevated his pieces to sculpture. He believed that ceramics should be viewed as fine art and not craft. He was inspired by the female form and was quoted as saying ‘Most potters make pots; I make parts of people’.

Lot 309 Lane Gordon Thorlaksson (Canadian, 1937-2009), a shallow bowl, with cream and blue glaze, with integral stand, incised with signature, numbered and dated, 18cm diameter, two further cream and white bowls, no stands, 13 and 15.5cm diameter, and a bowl, with a grey dashed body, with integral stand, 18cm diameter (6) £150 - 250 Lot 310 Lane Gordon Thorlaksson (Canadian, 1937-2009), three shallow bowls, in celadon and blue glazes, with integral stands, each incised with signature, numbered and dated, 12, 12.5 and 14cm diameter (6) £250 - 350

The elongated figures are reduced to the essential and seem fixed in a dimension outside of time in which they appear motionless.

§ 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.

Lot 414 *Peter Collingwood (1922-2008) ‘M143, No.74’, a two-dimensional microgauze wall hanging, c.1988 linen, steel rods, metal label incised ‘Peter Collingwood’ and numbered ‘M.143 No. 74’ 42cm wide 117.4cm high £4,000 - 6,000 Sold with a facsimile of a letter dated 24/3/89: ‘Dear John & Madoka, Jun Tomita asked me to make the enclosed hanging & send it to you as a present from him. I am afraid I have taken rather a long time to get it woven as I have been travelling in India. There is a nylon loop at the top of the hanging - so it only needs one nail in the wall to hang it from. I hope you like it. Yours sincerely Peter Collingwood P.S. The metal label shows it is design M.143 & that it is the 74th time I have woven this design’. Peter Collingwood (1922-2008) was at the forefront of weaving for fifty years. His wall hangings use the traditional craft to create visual abstraction and are admired worldwide. Trained after national service by the master weaver Ethel Mairet, he worked with Alastair Morton, who became the visionary Artistic Director at the Edinburgh Weavers. In 1952, Collingwood set up a studio at Archway in North London and sold his work in Liberty’s and Heal’s. He also exhibited at the Red Rose Guild and the Arts and Crafts Society. He moved to Digswell Arts Trust in Hertfordshire, where he met and exhibited with Hans Coper. Collingwood moved to Nayland near Colchester in 1964, where he worked until his death in 2008. Jun Tomita (b.1951) lives in Japan and runs his own world-renowned weaving studio.

§ 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. For confirmation of the certificate number, please refer to our website (www.sworder.co.uk).

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.

168

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 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 Conditions of Business incorporating the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers), the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the auctioneer at the auction. Our Conditions of Business 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 Conditions of Business that you do not fully understand. Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale set out in this catalogue or on our website 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. 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 web site, 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 within this time. Please note what the Terms of Sale say about collection and storage. Items not removed by 5pm on Friday may be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 as an administration fee and £2 per lot per day may be charged (plus vat). Please note that we will apply these charges strictly to Furniture purchased in our Homes and Interiors Sales. Dispatch We are rarely able to pack and dispatch purchases. A choice of shippers is detailed on our web site. 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.

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% plus VAT while bidding via Sworders website. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 4.95% plus VAT. Both charges will be payable to us on top of the hammer price and our buyer’s commission.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

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).

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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 §.
