Edward Bawden RA (1903-1989) Edward Bawden can be considered as the ‘master of the linocut’. He used this technique throughout his career, for posters, wallpaper, murals, book illustrations, as well as for limited edition prints. Sworders are pleased to offer two linocuts featuring Ives Farm in Great Bardfield. Lot 1 gives us a glimpse of the working day, but in Bawden’s distinctive style. Here we see the farmer, cattle and birds, brought to life by bright colours and strong lines. Ives Farm backed on to Bawden’s home, Brick House, and so the artist was able to study the subject matter at his leisure. He also captured the front of the farmhouse in ‘The Road to Thaxted’ (Lot 2). Here we see a woman peering out of the window at a policeman on a bicycle. At first it appears that he is approaching her property, but as the title suggests, he is in fact riding by along the Thaxted Road back into Great Bardfield. Both works were initially executed circa 1956, but Lot 2 was printed a little later in 1960. This rare impression, unlike the earlier editions, shows more vibrant colours. Noticeably with the orange door which has been replaced by a vivid yellow, perhaps suggesting a change in his style as he moved into a new decade.

Somerville was born into an artistic family and picked up her first paintbrush the same year she learned to talk. By the time she was ten, she had already exhibited at the Royal Society of Drawing and had a solo exhibition at the Claridge Gallery, London. Her work was admired and collected by Walter Sickert, John Lavary and Matthew Smith. Sickert purchased a work from her and claimed it was one of the finest landscapes he had seen by a living artist. Somerville travelled Europe widely before settling in Suffolk. She painted the coast around Aldeburgh many times, taking inspiration from the legacies of the Impressionists as well as John Constable and Philip Wilson Steer.

Lot 32 *Campbell Archibald Mellon (1876-1955) ‘Gorleston Beach’ signed ‘C A Mellon’, inscribed as titled and dated 1926 verso, oil on board 22.8 x 30.2cm £2,000 - 3,000 Growing up in Berkshire and later working in Nottingham, after the First World War Campbell Mellon was drawn to a quiet artist’s life and relocated to Norfolk. He lived in a house by Gorleston Harbour with fellow painter John Arnesby Brown, his studio overlooking the bustling activity on the beach, which is the subject of this work. Repeatedly painting Gorleston Beach, Campbell Mellon captures the rich blues of the sky against the stretch of white-yellow sand. His figures are painted with loose, quick strokes and are illuminated by their bright clothes and white sun hats. His understanding of the dazzling gleam of light around sand and sea, makes him uniquely capable of portraying this landscape.

47 Lot 47 *Sir Jacob Epstein (1880-1959) Sketch for ‘Day’ signed ‘Epstein’ l.l., pencil, ink and wash 57 x 42.5cm £2,000 - 3,000 Provenance: The Redfern Gallery(?); Lady Epstein (Kathleen Esther Garman); with Obelisk Gallery, London, c.1965: Anon, Bonham’s, London, 29 November 2005, lot 69.
www.sworder.co.uk
Sketch for ‘Day’ is a preparatory drawing of c.1929 for the monumental sculpture ‘Day’ commissioned along with its pair ‘Night’ for London Transport HQ (55 Broadway, a Grade 1 listed building close to St James’s Park, London). The sculptures, completed in 1929, are amongst Epstein’s most celebrated and, at the time, controversial public works. On their unveiling, there was outcry over the explicit nudity of the boy, which led to the offer of resignation from the Managing Director of London Underground (UERL), which had commissioned the works. In the end, Epstein made a compromise - shortening the boy’s penis - and the uproar was forgotten. The inscription verso, in (the elderly) Lady Epstein’s hand on an Obelisk Gallery label, states it was exhibited in 1927 at The Redfern Gallery - but this could be inaccurate as the commission for ‘Day & Night’ was received in 1928, and other ‘Day’ related studies are dated ‘28 or ‘29. See related Epstein studies in ‘Jacob Epstein Sculpture and Drawings’. Leeds City Art Galleries, 1987, pp.224-5. (Lot 47, Modern and Contemporary Art - 05/04/2022).

Lot 53 Glyn Philpot RA (1884-1937) Study of the Artist’s sister, Gertrude; Study of the Artist’s sister, Daisy two, pencil 18.7 x 12.5cm each, framed as one £600 - 800 Provenance: Gabrielle Cross, the artist’s niece; with the Fine Art Society, London. Preparatory sketches for the oil painting ‘The Sisters of the Artist’, 1922, Bonhams, ‘20th Century British Art’, 26 June 2007, lot 16. Glyn Philpot was a British painter and sculptor, best known for his portraits of contemporary figures such as Siegfried Sassoon. This drawing is a preparatory study for one of the few portraits Philpot painted of his family members; the final painting was exhibited at the Academy of 1922 to wide acclaim. It is an intimate sketch of his two older and much-loved sisters, Gertrude and Daisy. Daisy often posed for her brother, but this is the first portrait featuring Gertrude. Philpot’s light pencil line, executed in swift movements, captures his sisters with great sensitivity. It creates a feeling of familial intimacy aided by their unforced expressions and composure, neither looking deliberately towards the painter nor away from him.

Lot 82 Henry Lamb RA (1883-1960) Portrait of Carl Eric Bechhofer Roberts (1894-1949) oil on canvas 40.8 x 30.5cm £1,500 - 2,000 Provenance: C arl Eric Bechhofer Roberts. Illustrated: Albert Rutherston, Henry Lamb, London: Ernest Benn Ltd, 1924, plate 18.
82
C E Bechhofer Roberts was a widely published English author and journalist. He was an early patron of Henry Lamb and owned several other works including ‘A Bristol Committee’, 1921 and ‘Feeding Calves’, 1921. His portrait is among a number of contemporary men of letters who sat for Lamb, including Lytton Strachey, Thomas Hardy and Evelyn Waugh. Bechhofer Roberts was born in London and studied Classics at Berlin University. At the end of the First World War, he worked with H G Wells at the Information Department. He travelled extensively in Russia, encountering Grigori Rasputin in St. Petersburg, who kissed him, and the mystic philosopher George Gurdjieff (1866-1949), whose work he introduced to an English audience. Bechhofer published ‘Russia at the Crossroads’ in 1916. He returned to Russia as part of the British Military Mission and was London Times correspondent, covering the Russian famine in 1921, the year he published his book, ‘Through Starving Russia’. He went on to act as private secretary to Lord Birkenhead, 1924-1930. He was the first biographer of Winston Churchill, 1927. He also published lives of Madame Blavatsky, 1931, Stanley Baldwin, 1936, and Paul Verlaine, 1937. His book, ‘This Side Idolatry’, 1928, caused a scandal for its salacious revelations about the private life of Charles Dickens and his mistress. He also published under the pseudonyms, ‘Ephesian’ and ‘Arthur Milton’. He edited The Old Bailey Trial series and wrote extensively on some of the more lurid criminal cases of the day, such as the trial of William Joyce (Lord Haw Haw). Bechhofer uncovered fraudulent mediums in ‘The Truth about Spiritualism’, 1932, and among his works of fiction is a hilarious gangster spoof, ‘Don Chicago, or Crime Don’t Pay’, 1933. Bechhofer’s books were recommended by George Orwell. The present lot is to be sold with a selection of essays, fiction and non-fiction books written by C E Bechhofer Roberts, to include his biographies of Stanley Baldwin and Lord Birkenhead, amongst others titled ‘Don Chicago’, ‘Let’st Begin Again’, ‘The Mysterious Madame’ and more.

Lots 88-94 A personal selection of John Strevens’ works from the artist’s estate Born in 1902, Strevens was the eldest child of a large family based in the East End of London. As a young man, a small windfall from his aunt in Dorset, and cash earned from playing the violin in silent cinemas, paid for a few art classes at the Regent Street Polytechnic and the Heatherley School of Art. It was there, during a lecture by Roger Fry on cubism, he famously walked out, saying ‘I thought art had something to do with beauty’. Instead he taught himself by copying painters like Delaroche and La Thangue at the Guildhall Museum in London, and by studying the technique of Velasquez and John Singer Sargent. Later he discovered and admired the sunlight in the works of Joaquin Sorolla and the colours of Pierre Bonnard. In 1943, Strevens had his first solo art exhibition off Bond Street and thereafter exhibited his figure paintings and flowers at the Royal Academy and the Paris Salon. For his portraits, Strevens preferred to paint from life so as to capture the spirit and vitality of the sitter, and he had a unique ability to show his sitters at their best. He enjoyed capturing subtleties in skin tone, as well as the challenge of capturing white, its reflected colours and the textures of varied fabrics and dress. This earned him many portrait commissions across the UK and USA, from Winston Churchill, to guitarist Julian Bream and the young film actress Laura Dern. This group of artworks demonstrates one of Strevens’ favourite subjects, women and children. It offers a familial connection, as many of the portraits feature his second wife, Julia Marzo, and their daughter, Bridget. Some portraits are painted directly and others are inspired rather than direct representations, but the warmth of each image speaks volumes of his affection for them. In lot 88, we see the baby Bridget held up by her mother and reaching out her arms towards her father. We are privy to a family supper in lot 94, where the painter is drawn by the soft yellow lighting he sees through the window at the laid table, having returned after a day in his garden studio. It is a celebration of the colour and peace he found in his later years. Having witnessed the hardship of two world wars and more across the twentieth century, Strevens sought refuge in, and was keen to share the beauty he found, in people, nature and in the simplicity of domestic life.

Exhibited: The Mayor Gallery, London, ‘Pauline Boty and Other Modern British Artists’, 7 September 7 October 2009.
136 Pauline Boty was the only female founder of the British Pop Art movement and an icon of 1970s feminism. Born in South London in 1938, she was the youngest of four children and grew up in a conservative Catholic family. In 1954, she won a scholarship to Wimbledon School of Art, which she accepted with the support of her mother (whose artistic ambitions had been thwarted by her parents). Boty studied lithography and stained-glass making, but also painted in a distinctive style. She exhibited with the Young Contemporaries alongside Robyn Denny and Bridget Riley in 1957 and 1959. Her developing friendships with Pop artists such as David Hockney and Peter Blake drew her further into this circle, and in 1961, she participated in a group show titled ‘Blake, Boty, Porter, Reeve’. Just two years later, she had her first solo show at the Grabowski Gallery, which was received with acclaim. After a brief stint in acting and on radio, Boty returned to painting. Her work became increasingly political with anti-Vietnam War and anti-patriarchy themes emerging. After a whirlwind romance, she married Clive Goodwin, who Boty captures in this intimate drawing of her husband with eyes shut, reclined and apparently sleeping. In 1965, Boty became pregnant, but early into the pregnancy, doctors discovered a cancerous tumour. Knowing that treatment would damage the foetus, Boty chose not to pursue this. She died aged just twenty-eight, only five months after the birth of her daughter. In 2013, Boty received her first retrospective at the Wolverhampton Art Gallery; later travelled to Pallant House Gallery.

Kinley was born in Vienna in 1926. He was Jewish and his family were forced to flee the country following the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in March 1938. Reaching France, where his parents were interned, Kinley was sent to England and fostered by a Catholic family. He served in the British Army from 1944-8, before pursuing an education in art first at Düsseldorf Academy and then at St Martins School of Art, 1949-53. Enjoying early success, Kinley held a one-man show at Gimpel Fils in 1954. Created a few years later, this early work is a dynamic example of the post-war abstraction of the figurative. Using both brush and palette knife, Kinley renders the reclining figure with flesh-pink tones and minimalistic shape, offset only by the rich background created from layers of blacks and greys.

Welsh expressionist painter Will Roberts was born in Ruabon, Denbighshire in 1907. The son of a railwayman, his family moved to Neath in 1918 where his gift for drawing at a young age became known. He later studied at the Swansea Art School under William Grant Murray. Roberts found his inspiration from his local community, painting domestic scenes, industrial workers and the surrounding landscape. In 1945, he met fellow artist Josef Herman who was living nearby. The influence of the Polish artist's work can be seen in Roberts' use of line and colour. Will Roberts exhibited throughout the UK and, in 1992, he was awarded an honorary Fellowship by University College, Swansea. In 1994, a retrospective exhibition of his work was held at the National Eisteddfod of Wales. Now considered as a modern master of Welsh art, Roberts was one of the original members of the arts group '56 Group Wales', set up to raise the profile of Welsh art. He remained in Neath for the rest of his life, where he died in March 2000 aged 92.

MODERN BRITISH 108-237 Robert Sadler (1909-2001) began his career as an artist following twenty-five years in the Royal Air Force. A pilot from 1930 and later a representative on the NATO Joint Chiefs of Staff Intelligence Committee in Washington, DC, he 'retired' in 1955, returning to Suffolk to devote the rest of his life to painting. Five years since our first exhibition of his work, Sworders are pleased to offer another selection showcasing his skill and diversity as a painter.

MODERN BRITISH 108-237 Lots 218-222 These bright, bold and fun paintings depict characters from the circus and from ‘the end of the pier’. Mick Rooney’s work is usually figurative, showing us stories from his own life, his travels or just the every day. However, they tend to have a mysterious nature to them, incorporating mythologies, dreams and nightmares into modern life. Rooney studied at the Royal College of Art, London from 1964 to 1967. The present owner’s father, Deryck Healey, was his tutor and encouraged him as a young artist. It was at Deryck Healey’s suggestion that Rooney painted the frames of this series. A further selection from this collection will be offered in Sworders’ Modern & Contemporary Art Sale on 4 October 2022.

Sculptor John Milne was born in 1931 in Eccles, Lancashire. Following his training at Salford Royal Technical College, he became a prominent member of the St Ives Group. He was both pupil and assistant to Barbara Hepworth, and he later purchased Trewyn House next to her studio. Her influence and the landscape of Cornwall can clearly be seen in his work, but equally as significant were his travels to Greece and beyond. In 1971, Milne journeyed to Iran with designer David Field. He was greatly impressed by the ruins of 6th century BC Persepolis and, on his return to England in 1971, he cast this work in patinated bronze in an edition of nine. Due to the success of this work, he returned to the subject in 1973 and 1974, casting Persepolis in different scales and finishes.

At first he adopted an expressionistic palette, but soon his work embraced an ordered, minimalistic style. King plays with the concept of balance in a clever way; he creates an image that is almost identical in each half, apart from the two rectangles, which are exactly the reverse of each other. Executed in just a few tones of colour, King creates a serious and thought-provoking piece of art. What do these ‘Two’ represent? And is this an image of hostility or harmony?

In the 1950s, following the completion of his degree at the University of Punjab, he was imprisoned three times due to his socialist beliefs and his involvement with the Progressive Writers Movement. To avoid the constant police surveillance in Lahore, Imam moved to London. Here he studied art at both Saint Martin’s and Hammersmith. Following an eleven-year stay, he returned to Pakistan, where he set up the Indus Gallery (named after the river), which became a ‘hub of cultural activity’ in Karachi in the 1970s.
Lot 277 Jamil Naqsh (Pakistani, 1939-2019) Seated nude with pigeon signed ‘Jamil Naqsh’ and dated 1974, Pakistan 106.5 x 76cm £8,000 - 12,000 The current lot is typical of the work of Jamil Naqsh as he included pigeons in most of his paintings. From his childhood, he saw them flutter around the courtyard of his home, and then as an adult, when he set up his artist’s studio, he had a rooftop garden where he would not only watch the birds, but invite them in. Here we see a female nude sit serenely with the bird, the soft lines of their forms gentler than some of his more abstracted works. His trademark richly-worked textured paint surface gives a fragmented look, almost as if it is a collage. Naqsh’s influences were from Indian and Pakistani artists, as well as Ingres and Picasso. He moved from Pakistan to London and lived as a recluse from 2012 until his death in 2019.

Lot 279 Ahmed Parvez (Pakistani, 1926-1979) Untitled signed ‘A Parvez’ l.l, oil on canvas 61 x 76cm, unframed £3,000 - 5,000
Ahmed Parvez was one of Pakistan’s most widely exhibited artists of the 20th century. An important figure in the country’s modernist movement, he held over thirty solo exhibitions in Pakistan, Europe and the USA. Notably in 1962, when he joined American painter and the inventor of the mobile, Alexander Calder, in a two-man show at the Lincoln Gallery. The still life was a subject matter he often went back to, using bold colours and lines to create an energetic painting. Here we see his influence from cubism and abstract expressionism alongside the traditional mark-making of Islamic calligraphy.

South African artist William Kentridge is known for his prints, drawings and animated films. During the 1970s and 1980s, he worked as an actor, playwright and set designer, as well as studying mime in Paris. His visual artwork shows his early connection with the theatrical arts. Taking inspiration from the logo for HMV ('His Master's Voice'), Kentridge produced three prints, including 'Untitled (Artist Sitting)' which features the seated artist talking into a megaphone, echoing the famous HMV dog. The set also includes the two offered for sale, 'Untitled (Artist Standing)' and 'Untitled (Artist Bending)'. For the figures in these images, Kentridge used his thumbprints to create contours of the body on a copper plate prepared with soft ground.

David Reed is known for his narrow, abstract paintings that present incredible juxtapositions of colour and brushwork. Reed has commented on the significance of his brushwork, highlighting the deliberateness of his mark-making when choosing to paint with either a wet-on-dry or wet-on-wet technique. He is currently represented by the Gagosian and has work in many international public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. He has named Cy Twombly as an influence.

He has exhibited internationally at top galleries such as Michel Werner, Thaddeaus Ropac and Timothy Taylor.

Lot 367 *Paul McPhail (b.1966) ‘Emollient’ signed ‘Paul McPhail’ and dated ‘1998’ verso, oil on canvas 152.5 x 106.5cm, unframed £10,000 - 15,000 Provenance: With Houldsworth Fine Art. Paul McPhail’s ‘Emollient’ explores flesh in a strangely captivating way. This is a study of the human head with its finished, perfect face stripped away to reveal the under layers of flesh, blood, muscular structure, gums, and bloodshot eyes. It encourages the viewer to look closer at the head’s violent surface through its execution of texturally-rich brushwork. Even the title connotes texture – emollient, an oily, moisturising layer added to the skin. McPhail’s use of paint is dynamic and bold, his brush moves across the canvas in broad swathes. He uses heavy contrasts of tones from reds to fleshy pinks, which in combination with the easily distinguished layers of paint, creates a feeling of jaggedness close-up that falls away into one of vibrant life when appreciating the whole composition. This painting is evocative of the work of Jenny Saville, who is now married to Paul McPhail, but at the time of its execution was a close friend of the artist. The two studied together at Glasgow School of Art and later shared a studio space in Palermo. In 1994, both artists visited a plastic surgeon’s operating theatre, witnessing procedures that exposed the fragility of skin. Saville’s paintings explore the body’s imperfections, often depicting overweight, pale, bruised thighs, arms, bosoms, stomachs, redefining beauty. The influence of McPhail’s work is undeniable when we look at examples of her work, such as her head study, ‘Red Stare IV’.

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%.
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.
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.
150
• • •
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 of Sale (for Bidders and Buyers).
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 Spirits 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 description and condition of Lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clauses 12.2 and 12.4. Condition reports We may be able to assist Buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending Buyers are strongly encouraged to view. Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale. Shipping of Goods We offer a delivery service for Lots purchased. Estimates for Shipping Costs for smaller items can be calculated pre-sale on our website under each Lot and are based on value, size and your chosen UK destination. For items purchased the actual cost can be added to your account and paid online after the sale. If you purchase multiple Lots from the same auction, we will combine packaging/deliveries to reduce the Shipping Costs. For lots for which Shipping Costs cannot be automatically calculated, such as furniture, you can obtain a bespoke Shipping Cost from our website to any destination in the world either in advance of the sale or after you have purchased.

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 §.

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.
12.2 We will give you a number of opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot in advance of the auction. 12.3 Representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling Price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion will be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. 12.4 Please note that Lots (in particular second-hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition. Lots are sold ‘as is’ (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of second-hand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/ or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed. 13. Deliberate Forgeries 13.1 You may return any Lot which is found to be a Deliberate Forgery to us within thirty days of the auction provided that you return the Lot to us in the same condition as when it was released to you, accompanied by a written statement identifying the Lot from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. 13.2 If we are reasonably satisfied that the Lot is a Deliberate Forgery we will refund the money paid by you for the Lot (including any Premium and applicable VAT) provided that if: 13.2.1 the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of experts as at the date of the auction; or 13.2.2 you personally are not able to transfer good and marketable title in the Lot to us, you will have no right to a refund under this Clause 13.2. 13.3 If you have sold the Lot to another person, we will only be liable to refund the Price that you paid for the Lot. We will not be responsible for repaying any additional money you may have made from selling the Lot. 13.4 Your right to return a Lot that is a Deliberate Forgery does not affect your legal rights and is in addition to any other right or remedy provided by law or by these Terms of Sale. 14. Our liability to you 14.1 We will not be liable for any loss of opportunity or disappointment suffered as a result of participating in our auction. 14.2 In addition to the above, neither we nor the Seller shall be responsible to you and you shall not be responsible to the Seller or us for any other loss or damage that any of us suffer that is not a foreseeable result of any of us not complying with the Terms and Conditions. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen or if at the time of the sale of the Lot, we, you and the Seller knew it might happen. 14.3 Subject to Clause 14.4, if we are found to be liable to you for any reason (including, amongst others, if we are found to be negligent, in breach of contract or to have made a misrepresentation), our liability will be limited to the total purchase price paid by you to us for any Lot. 14.4 Notwithstanding the above, nothing in these Terms of Sale shall limit our liability (or that of our employees or agents) for: 14.4.1 death or personal injury resulting from negligence (as defined in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977); 14.4.2 fraudulent misrepresentation; or 14.4.3 any liability which cannot be excluded by law.

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.
