THE

Sally Hunter & I a n Po s g a t e

COLLECTION

Gallery owner Sally Hunter came to Badgemore Grange - a Victorian home sited in a little over nine acres of land on the outskirts of Henley on Thames - in 1990 when she and owner Ian Posgate (19322017), an insurance underwriter at Lloyds of London, were married. Sally Hunter had run a gallery in St Ives in the early 70s, later taking over a gallery on Motcomb Street in Knightsbridge where she chose to specialise in Modern British art. “We bought the best examples of their type, but then artworks were affordable £1,500 was considered a lot of money to pay for a painting” she recalls. Furnishing Badgemore was a joy. “With a gallery in Knightsbridge, the business of arranging, hanging, and moving were part

of my stock in trade - it was just that the area to be filled at Badgemore was so much bigger.” From Margaret Thomas to Joan Warburton and Lucy Harwood, many of the pictures and artists are associated with East Anglia - a reflection perhaps of Sally’s early life in Suffolk (she was brought up in Woodbridge). Sworders are pleased to offer the entire contents of Badgemore Grange. The sale will be comprised of 450 lots of pictures, furniture and works of art which capture the style and taste of the owners. “It is a collection which we hugely enjoyed putting together and living with for many years.”

The Sally Hunter & Ian Posgate Collection, Badgemore Grange auction will take place on Tuesday 18 May, for more information about the sale please contact Jane Oakley janeoakley@sworder.co.uk | 01279 817778



IN THE FRAME AM Y S C A N LO N Although I’m sure we can all agree that the past year has been challenging in many ways, a positive side for me has been the number of wonderful pictures that our clients have entered for sale. With over 300 lots in this catalogue and a further 450 in our Part II Timed Online sale, Sworders’ April Modern British & 20th century art sales are set to be our best yet.

The department has seen rapid growth since our first sale in 2016, with a wide range of Modern British, 20th century and contemporary art now coming through the doors. We are especially keen to champion the Great Bardfield artists, our close proximity to the Essex village continuing to bring both vendors and buyers to Sworders each year, with prices remaining strong. One of the principal artists of the group, Edward Bawden is a firm favourite of mine, and I am pleased to say we have another great selection of his in this sale. Lot 1 is inspired by William Blake’s poem, ‘Tyger Tyger, burning bright,. In the forests of the night;. What immortal hand or eye,. Could frame thy fearful symmetry?’. I love how the strong lines of the linocut echo his verse, but also because this brings back fond memories of our inaugural Modern British Art sale where I first saw a copy of this.

There are so many works I have grown fond of whilst working on this sale, but lot 172 stands out for me. This portfolio contains 31 lithographs by artists including Mark Hearld, Stanley Jones, Bernard Dunstan, Mary Fedden and Bernard Cheese, which were all commissioned by Curwen Studio for their 50th anniversary. The way it is presented, with all the prints housed in one frame, is so much fun. With the option to quickly change which work is on display, you could easily have one for every day of the month!


Other highlights of the catalogue for me include the three works by Simon Bussy (lots 73-75). I think his use of pastel is beautiful; the bright yellow of the Hangnest is so striking that I would love to own it! We sold an oil painting of a Bird of Paradise by Bussy in 2018 that remains one of my most favourite pictures that I have handled at Sworders. Temporary ownership of beautiful paintings is one of the perks of my role and I feel fortunate to have had it hanging proudly above my desk, albeit briefly, until the lucky bidder secured it for £16,000.

JANE OAKLEY It is such a joy to work on this sale as it includes a fantastic category of prints, so we get to celebrate some remarkable printmaking. I was so pleased to see the CRW Nevinson, ‘Waterloo Bridge from a Savoy Window’ (lot 44), but a particular favourite of mine is the work of Gerald Brockhurst. He was one of the finest portrait artists of his generation, his works have a wonderful intensity; the subject often placed directly confronting the viewer with uncompromising frankness. His richly detailed surfaces are stunning, and this intensity is carried over into his etchings. We are lucky enough to have four in the sale. He was a self-taught engraver, developing a remarkable technique that creates a rich velvety depth, achieving a striking tonal contrast. Of his works in the sale, I think my favourite is ‘Dorette’ from 1932 (lot 47). It is a typical Brockhurst composition of a glamorous sitter, half-length placed before a landscape. She stares at us, with an unsmiling intensity. The smooth delicacy of her skin and features contrast to the plain woollen cardigan and the curls of her hair, drawing our gaze in a quite mesmerising way. The sitter was his young muse and mistress Kathleen Woodward, who he named ‘Dorette’, just as his friend Augustus John had done with his muse Dorelia.

I am delighted that we have an Alexander Archipenko in the sale (lot 65). Cubism and the avant-garde movements in Paris in the early 20th century have long been a particular interest of mine and he is a sculptor I have always admired. He was a member of the Section d’Or and, along with Picasso, the first artist to experiment with cubism in 3D. His sculptures and indeed some of his works on paper have gone on to sell for huge sums at auction, so I feel this is a great opportunity to own something really quite special by one of the great artists of the 20th century.

Two of my take-home pictures from the sale would be the Bridget Riley fragments (lots 118 and 117). I love Riley’s work, and this is just the period I would want to collect, when she was focused mainly on black and white compositions. Being printed on to Perspex gives them a real sharpness and a contemporary feel. Such a remarkable achievement when you consider they were created over 50 years ago.

Lot 65 Alexander Archipenko (Ukrainian/American, 1887-1964) Uralt, c.1947 signed l.l., pen and ink and crayon, with dedication verso ‘To Jenny from Alexander. In souvenir of her birthday 40th [sic]1957’ 30 x 21.5cm £15,000 - 20,000 Sold with a letter of authentication from the Archipenko Foundation. ‘Uralt’ will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the drawings of Archipenko. One of the original cubists - Archipenko’s credentials at the vanguard of 20th century modernism are impeccable. Born in Kiev, Archipenko moved to Paris in 1908, which was then the epicentre of the European avant-garde. In 1912 he joined the Section d’Or, a group of painters, sculptors, poets and critics that included Picasso, Leger, Metzinger and Apollinaire amongst its members. He exhibited in the important Salon des Indépendants in 1911, which saw the cubists take over the hanging committee and caused public outrage. After Picasso, Archipenko was the first artist to experiment with cubism in three dimensions and his exploration of different colours and mediums within sculpture, and development of his sculpto-paintings, has left a lasting contribution to the development of modern art. The present work dates from c.1947 when he was settled in New York, where he lived until his death in 1964. ‘Uralt’, a German word meaning ‘ancient’ or ‘timeless’ is a typical example of Archipenko’s works on paper: an exploration of space and the relationship between objects, exploring intertwined, simplified sculptural female forms. Our thanks to Frances Archipenko Gray for her assistance in the cataloguing of this lot. Lot 66 Spare lot

SECTION CURWEN TITLE PRINT STUDY CENTRE COLLECTION XX-XX 87-103

Lots 87-103 The Curwen Press was founded by the Reverend John Curwen in East London in 1863. Under the management of his grandson, Harold, a great revolution in 20th century British printmaking occurred, with the Press championing the work of artists such as Eric Ravilious, Edward Bawden and Paul Nash, and a host of illustrators, designers, painters and sculptors. A subsidiary of this was the Curwen Studio. Opened in November 1958 and led by master printmaker Stanley Jones MBE, the Studio grew its reputation internationally, and with it, the long list of artists whose work was produced in collaboration with the studio’s printmakers. In 2000, Stanley Jones and Sam Alper formed The Curwen Print Study Centre, with Lorraine Chitson as Centre Director. This operates as an educational charity offering printmaking courses from premises in Linton, Cambridgeshire. The Curwen Print Study Centre is now in need of new premises to allow both for an additional studio and space to display and store a large print archive, making it available to the public. £250,000 needs to be raised and we are pleased to offer the sale of lots 87-103 to help raise funds. Sworders’ Chairman, Guy Schooling, has been appointed ambassador of this fundraising project. www.curwenprintstudy.co.uk

However, it was only when in London and both were commissioned to produce work by the Waddington Gallery in Cork St, that Mary made her appearance at the Curwen Studio and our association began. She was fascinated by the possibilities of zinc plate lithography and quickly learned how to collaborate with the printers in technical aspects of making her images, which were reflective of a style also present in her paintings. During these years, the images developed a freshness that marked them as some of her most characteristic lithographic prints. Over the many years of working together, we became close friends as well as Artist and Printmaker - a friendship which I valued.’ Stanley Jones MBE ‘Mary and Stanley sat together on a small settee in the studio, she holding his hand delighted to have her old friend with her. They reminisced about Julian and memories of Paris and times gone by. It was very special to have the opportunity to listen to their stories and share our news and plans for the future of the Study Centre. Mary then selected a painting (‘Two Pears’) that she wanted us to have so that we may use it to raise funds for development.’ Lorraine Chitson, Curwen Print Study Centre Director

Bridget Riley came to prominence in the early 60s with her experiments in Op Art - abstract art that created an optical illusion. Sometimes using colour, Op Art tricked the eye, creating the deception of warping, vibrating or flashing. At this period of her career, Riley was mainly working in black and white, which created the very strong and now iconic images synonymous with the 60s. The series of ‘Fragments’ were published in an edition of 75. In the exhibition catalogue at the Robert Fraser Gallery, Riley explained: ‘During the preparatory work for a painting, I may make images which are tangential to the problems posed by the particular painting. Some of these images I return to and develop later, others remain as fragments of a theme. These prints are a selection of such fragments in my folios and cover a period from 1962-1965’. Printed on the back of a clear perspex sheet, the brilliant white background was then printed over the top. Riley was experimenting with new, modern materials and the result is very sharp and bold.

144 Austin Moseley was born in Staffordshire in 1930 and lived his whole life in the West Midlands. His work shows his close connection with the small communities of the Black Country. There is a light-hearted affection to the characters in his paintings who are often shown in the early morning or late evening. His work can also be recognised by his use of paint applied thickly with a palette knife to add texture and a slight abstraction of the subject matter. Mosley was a member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists and he also exhibited at the Royal Institute of Painters in Oil. 73

MODERN BRITISH, 20TH CENTURY AND CONTEMPORARY ART 104-308 LOTS 229-235 ‘My earliest ambition was to work in a post office. Or to join a circus that would accept clumsy acrobats, and had a nice elephant or two. I think now I would have liked to have been a dancer or a gardener or a dog trainer. But I like painting pictures just fine. I have been fortunate enough to work with some fantastic publishers so that my pictures are widely distributed as cards, posters, limited edition prints, mugs, calendars, stationery. It is always an absolute thrill for me to wander into a small shop in an unknown town and see one of my cards, or walk into a bed and breakfast and see a Mr Mustard poster on the wall. I never tire of that. I’m the one who tidies the card racks and has my photograph taken next to window displays, or in doctors’ waiting rooms, next to my work like a big kid. It’s marvellous.’ Sam Toft samtoft.co.uk

Lot 290 Katharina Fritsch (German, b.1956) ‘Totenkopf’ (Skull) porcelain 20.5 x 15 x 26cm £4,000 - 6,000

Katharina Fritsch was born in 1956 in Essen, Germany and is currently a Professor of Sculpture at Kunstakademie, Dusseldorf. Her sculptures and installations often use familiar objects in a way that creates a jarring and uncanny effect. In this respect, she has been likened to Marcel Duchamp. Fritsch’s work is inspired by subjects including Christianity, art history and folklore. Noted works include Rattenkönig (Rat King), a giant circle of black polyester rats, included in the Venice Biennale in 1999, and Hahn (Cock), a 4.7 metre high bright blue cockerel displayed on London’s Trafalgar Square Fourth Plinth from July 2013 to January 2015.

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%.

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.

From 0 to €50,000

4%

From €50,000.01 to €200,000

3%

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:

From €200,000.01 to €350,000

1%

Hammer Price

From €350,000.01 to €500,000 Exceeding €500,000

Royalty

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.

136

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:

• • •

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.
