All lots will be offered and sold subject to the Conditions of Sale which appear in this catalogue as well as any Glossary and posted or oral announcements. By bidding at auction, bidders are bound by those Conditions and Glossary, as amended by any announcements or posted notices, which together form the contract of sale between the successful bidder (buyer), Waddington’s™ (auctioneer) and the consignor (seller) of the lot. Description or photographs of lots are not warranties and each lot is sold “as is” in accordance with the Conditions of Sale.

All of the items are to be considered, unless otherwise noted in the catalogue description or condition report, in good condition. The definition of “good” when used in reference to condition, describes an object as having had no major damage or repair but as with the nature of the material, may show minor surface wear, discolouration etc., which indicates the acceptable wear that the piece may acquire with age. If you are particular about minor flaws, you should have our staff answer any questions before bidding. Sizes are approximate. Frames on artwork are not included as part of purchase or condition. It is the sole responsibility of the bidder to inquire as to the condition of a lot before bidding. Condition reports are available upon request by phone, fax, email or in person. You are advised to make any requests well in advance of the sale.

Waddington’s charges a buyer’s premium of 20% on the hammer price. Buyer’s premium and applicable Canadian taxes are added to the hammer price.

A charge of 13% HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) is applicable on the hammer price and buyer’s premium except for any items directly shipped from our premises out of Canada. In the case where purchases are shipped out of the province of Ontario, the HST or GST is charged based on the tax status of that province.

Payment for purchases must be by cash;  direct debit (CDN clients in person only); certified cheque (U.S. & Overseas not applicable); bank dra ; E-Transfer; Wire Transfer (fee applies);  or Mastercard (up to $25,000).

The auctioneers will not undertake packing or shipping. The purchaser must designate and arrange for the services of an independent shipper and be responsible for all shipping and insurance expenses. The auctioneers will, upon request, provide names of professional packers and shippers but will not be held responsible for the service or have any liability for providing this information.

This includes but is not limited to items made of or containing bone (whalebone etc.), ivory, tortoise shell, seal skin, rhinoceros horn and any other animal part and is strictly controlled or forbidden by most countries.

Please review your country’s laws before bidding on pieces made of or containing these restricted items. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to inquire about and obtain the proper permits for artwork purchased that may contain restricted materials, if such permit can be obtained.

Conditions of Sale

Each lot sold is subject to a premium of 20% of the successful bid price of each lot as part of the purchase price.

Unless exempted by law, the buyer is required to pay Federal Good and Services Tax on the total purchase price including the buyer’s premium.

The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid and to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion. The auctioneer reserves the right not to accept and not to reject any bid.

Each lot may be subject to an unpublished reserve which may be changed at any time by agreement between the auctioneer and the consignor. The auctioneer may bid, or direct an employee to bid, on behalf of the consignor as agreed between them. In addition, the auctioneer may accept and submit absentee and telephone bids, to be executed by an employee of the auctioneer, pursuant to the instructions of prospective purchasers not in a endance at the sale.

If any dispute should arise between bidders the auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to designate the buyer or, at his option, to withdraw any disputed lot from the sale, or to re-offer it at the same or a subsequent sale. The auctioneer’s decision in all cases shall be final.

7. Immediately a er the purchase of a lot, the buyer shall pay or undertake to the satisfaction of the auctioneer with respect to payment of the whole or any part of the purchase price requested by the auctioneer, failing which the auctioneer in his sole discretion may cancel the sale, with or without re-offering the item for sale.

10. All lots are sold “AS IS”. Any description issued by the auctioneer of an article to be sold is subject to variation to be posted online and/or announced via email prior to the time of sale. While the auctioneer has endeavored not to mislead in the description issued, and the utmost care is taken to ensure the correct cataloguing of each item, such descriptions are purely statements of opinion and are not intended to constitute a representation to the prospective purchasers and no warranty of the correctness of such description is made. Some lots are of an age and/or nature which preclude their being in pristine condition and some catalogue descriptions make reference to damage and/or restoration. The lack of such a reference does not imply that a lot is free from defects nor does any reference to certain defects imply the absence of others. It is the responsibility of prospective purchasers to inspect or have inspected each lot upon which they wish to bid and to bid accordingly.

ffected, and in such case the original buyer shall be responsible to the auctioneer and the consignor for:

(a) any deficiency in price between the r e-sale amount and the amount to have been paid by the original buyer

(b) any reasonable charge by the auctioneer for the storage of such articles until payment and removal by the subsequent buyer and

(c) the amount of commission which the auctioneer would have earned had payment been made in full by the original buyer.
