9 A Very Rare Louis Wain Ceramic Cat C. 1914, 'Futurist Cat' the cubist style in green, with yellow and red accents. With printed mark to underside MADE IN ENGLAND, moulded manufacturer's marks Rd No. 1637 (indistinct) and glaze mark 'Louis Wain'. Impressed marks 'Futurist Cat' and 'Louis Wain' on opposite sides. Some minor paint flakes and small hairline restoration to back right foot. Louis Wain took the idea for his pottery cats from the new Cubist movement which had been embraced by painters of the time such as Pablo Picasso. Initially, he designed a set of nine small cats and an unknown amount of larger ones and initially used a factory by the name of Max Emmanuel to have them made. They were then shown at an exhibition in 1914. However, the pottery cats were not received well in the UK but stores in America were interested and placed an order. Sadly, the ship carrying the cats to the States was hit by a torpedo from a German U-boat and Wain's entire investment was lost, thus he did not receive any money as the goods had not been delivered, making the surviving cats even rarer.

28 A George Nakashima (1905 -1990) Lounge Chair with Free Form Arm Undoubtedly one of the preeminent innovators of the 20th century, George Nakashima was a supremely accomplished woodworker, architect and furniture maker. Widely accepted to be the father of the American Craft Movement, Nakashima was born in Washington to Japanese parents, after earning a masters degree in Architecture from MIT he eventually settled in Japan working for Antonin Raymond. It was during this time with Raymond that Nakashima created his first pieces of furniture, commissioned by an Ashram in India. Perhaps the most formative period of Nakashima's life came during his World War Two internment at Camp Minidoka in Idaho, held because of his Japanese heritage. It was there that he met Gentauro, a master of traditional Japanese woodworking, and under his tutelage developed his characteristic search for perfection at every stage of construction. After Antonin Raymond successfully sponsored his release in 1943, Nakashima joined him in New Hope, Pennsylvania. It was here he designed furniture lines for Knoll (some of which are still in production) and other private commissions, growing and developing and in 1973 Nelson Rockefeller commissioned 200 pieces by Nakashima for his New York home. In this example, we see the rawness of the upright backrest supports and figured grain synonymous with his early work, juxtaposed with the highly worked and superbly executed construction

paying homage to traditional Japanese woodworking techniques. Crafted in American black walnut and hickory, this piece clearly embodies Nakashima's philosophy that the product 'should retain the materials' marks of individuality, as well as those of the craftsmen who bring it to life.' Signature to the underside of the seat. H850 W800 D700mm est

44 A Mies Van der Rohe MR20 Armchair Designed in 1927, Germany. Cantilevered chrome-plated tubular steel armchair with curved armrests and leather seat and backrest. One of the most startling innovations in modern furniture - or so it seemed to contemporaries - was the development of the modern cantilever chair. Because the seat floated in mid-air without any visible means of support it signalled to many the triumph of the designer over the laws of nature. It is said that people were afraid to sit on this chair when it was first introduced because they feared it would collapse. H850 W480 D720mm

119 A Rare and Original Photograph Depicting The Original All Blacks - The New Zealand Football Team, 1905 Of note as one of the very few examples showing the legendary team dressed in very dapper formal attire, many with silver fern lapel badges and brandishing pocket watches on chains. Silver gelatin print on mountboard, some foxing to mount. 230 x 294mm. Along with an additional retouched and enlarged modern print mounted on foam board. 685 x 710mm. The Original All Blacks (also known simply as "The Originals") were the first New Zealand national rugby union team to tour outside Australasia. They toured the British Isles, France and the USA during 1905–1906. Overall they played a total of thirty-five matches, which included five Tests, and only lost once—the defeat by Wales. The

1905 All Blacks tour of Britain went on to achieve legendary status within the rugby world and New Zealand in particular. They scored 976 points and conceded only 59, and thus set the standard for future All Blacks sides. The tour also saw the first use of the All Blacks name and established New Zealand's reputation as a world-class rugby nation. 'F. Glasgow, W.J Wallace, F. Newton, H.J Mynott, R.G Deans, J.

122 Gold Medallist Peter Snell's 1960 Rome Olympics Blazer Webb’s is honoured to present for auction the blazer that New Zealand middle-distance running gold medallist Peter Snell wore at the 1960 Summer Olympic Games in Rome, Italy. This is an incredibly significant piece of New Zealand’s sporting history that embodies a time in Olympic sport when comparative outsiders such as Snell could shock the world with their unexpected ascendancy. Acquired from Snell’s ex-wife Sally sometime in the 1970s by the vendor, the blazer was subsequently under the care of the New Zealand Olympic Committee but has now returned to the market. At the 1960 Summer Olympic Games, Snell set a national record for the men’s 800-metre race, beating out Roger

Moens of Belgium and George Kerr of the West Indies to take the gold. The surprise on Moens’ face can be seen in the film of the event, as he turns in panic to see Snell overpowering him at the finish, after a break that took the Kiwi from second-to-last place to first. This was to be the first of Snell’s three gold medals in a short but incredibly impressive athletic career that lasted only five years, from 1960-65. Snell’s subsequent performance at the 1964 Tokyo Games was even more dominant, as he again took gold in the 800 metres, setting an Olympic record in the process, and cemented his legacy with a gold medal in the 1500 metres. He is the only man since 1920 to win gold at both the 800 and 1500 metres in the same Olympics. The 1960 Olympics

Webb's

2020

came at the beginning of what was to be a tumultuous decade and was noteworthy for several reasons. Alongside Snell’s double-gold-medalwinning performance, a young Cassius Clay (the future world heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali) won boxing gold for the United States in the light-heavyweight division, while Abebe Bikila of Ethiopia won gold in the marathon, making him the first black African to win an Olympic gold medal (an even more impressive feat considering that he ran the race barefoot). Snell’s blazer symbolises the spirit of this epoch when massive social and political changes were sweeping the globe and taking the sporting world along with them. The blazer itself is

constructed of wool, has stainless steel buttons with embossed silver fern details and is cut in a traditional single-breasted style, with two pockets. It is embroidered with a silver fern motif on the left breast pocket, along with the Olympic rings and the text “Rome 1960 Athletics.” This blazer transcends the status of mere sports memorabilia; rather, it reflects New Zealand’s history as a nation whose achievements and influence on the international stage constantly transcend our small size. est

173 A Contemporary Aboriginal Hollow Log Coffin, Central Arnhem Land, Australia Hollowed tree trunk, painted section between two undecorated ends with cross-hatching and line work designs in traditional colours: yellow, red, black and white. Displaying ancestral motifs evoking the deceased, here with serpents and tortoises, similar to the ones painted on barks and people's bodies during ceremonies. Traditionally, the ritual of the burial during which the bones of the deceased are painted and placed inside the log while performing a dance, would ensure the safe arrival of the spirit of the deceased from the earth to the land of the dead. However, this example was not used in a mortuary ceremony but made as a work of art. H1500 D200mm est

Terms and Conditions

1. Background to the Terms used in these Conditions The conditions that are listed below contain terms that are used regularly and may need explanation. They are as follows:

The terms and conditions of sale listed here contain the policies of Webb’s Ltd. They are the terms on which Webb’s Ltd and the Seller contract with the Buyer. They may be amended by printed Saleroom Notices or oral announcements made before and during the sale. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms.

“the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer. “the Lot” means any item depicted within the sale for auction and in particular the item or items described against any lot number in the catalogue. “the Hammer price” means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot. “the Buyer’s Premium” means the charge payable by the Buyer to the auction house as a percentage of the hammer price. “the Reserve” means the lowest amount at which Webb’s has agreed with the Seller that the lot can be sold. “Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole, with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue. Accordingly no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage or restoration work of any kind (Including re-painting). “the insured value” means the amount that Webb’s in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider the value for which a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by Webb’s). All values expressed in Webb’s Ltd catalogues (in any format) are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD$). All bids, “hammer price”, “reserves”, “Buyers Premium” and other expressions of value are understood by all parties to be in New Zealand Dollars (NZD$) unless otherwise specified. 2.

Webb’s Auctions as Agent

Except as otherwise stated Webb’s Ltd acts as agent for the Seller. The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer. 3.

Before the Sale

1. Examination of Property Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine in person any property in which they are interested before the Auction takes place. Neither Webb’s nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property apart from the Limited warranty in the paragraph below. The property is otherwise sold “AS IS” 2. Catalogue and Other Descriptions All statements by Webb’s in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Webb’s of any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or it’s value for any other purpose. Neither Webb’s nor The Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material. Images are measured height by width (sight size). Illustrations are provided only as a guide and should not be relied upon as a true representation of colour or condition. Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as supplementary images on the website) which do not form part of the lot as described in the printed catalogue. An item bought “on Extension” must be paid for in full before it will be released to the purchaser or his/her agreed expertising committee or specialist. Payments received for such items will be held ”in trust” for up to 90 days or earlier, if the issue of authenticity has been resolved more quickly. Extensions must be requested before the auction. Foreign buyers should note that all transactions are in New Zealand Dollars so there may be a small exchange rate risk. The costs associated with acquiring a good opinion or certificate will be carried by the purchaser. If

Webb's

March

the item turns out to be forged or otherwise incorrectly described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the vendor. 3. Buyers Responsibility All property is sold “as is” without representation or warranty of any kind by Webb’s or the Seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report. No lot to be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it has been immersed in liquid or treated by any other process unless the Auctioneer’s permission to subject the lot to such immersion or treatment has first been obtained in writing. 4.

At the Sale

1. Refusal of Admission Webb’s reserves the right at our complete discretion to refuse admission to the auction premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. 2. Registration Before Bidding Any prospective new buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide photo identification before bidding. Webb’s may request bank, trade or other financial references to substantiate this registration. 3. Bidding as a Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price including the buyer’s premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Webb’s before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Webb’s and that Webb’s will only look to the principal for payment. 4. International Registrations All International clients not known to Webb’s will be required to scan or fax through an accredited form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our discretion in cleared funds into Webb’s account at least 24 hours before the commencement of the auction. Bids will not be accepted without this deposit. Webb’s also reserves the right to request any additional forms of identification prior to registering an overseas bid. This deposit can be made using a credit card, however the balance of any purchase price in excess of $5,000 cannot be charged to this card without prior arrangement. This deposit is redeemable against any auction purchase and will be refunded in full if no purchases are made. 5. Absentee Bids Webb’s will use reasonable efforts to execute written bids delivered to us AT LEAST 24 Hours before the sale for the convenience of those clients who are unable to attend the auction in person. If we receive identical written bids on a particular lot, and at the auction these are the highest bids on that lot, then the lot will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check with Webb’s after the auction if they were successful. Unlimited or ”Buy” bids will not be accepted. 6. Telephone Bids Priority will be given to overseas and bidders from other regions. Please refer to the catalogue for the Telephone Bids form. Arrangements for this service must be confirmed AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR to the auction commencing. Webb’s accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute bids. In telephone bidding the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts that Webb’s cannot be held responsible for any miscommunications in the process. The success of telephone bidding cannot be guaranteed due to circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should be aware of the risk and accept the consequences should contact be unsuccessful at the time of Auction. You must advise Webb’s of the lots in question and you will be assumed to be a buyer at the minimum price of 75% of estimate (i.e. reserve) for all such lots. Webb’s will advise Telephone Bidders who have registered at least 24 hours before the auction of any relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals or any other sale room notices. 7. Online Bidding Webb’s offers an online bidding service. When bidding online the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here by Webb’s. Webb’s accepts no responsibility for any errors, failure to execute bids or any other miscommunications regarding this process. It is the online

bidder’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the relevant information regarding bids, lot numbers and contact details. Webb’s does not charge for this service. 8. Reserves Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. 9. Auctioneers Discretion The Auctioneer has the right at his/her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he/she may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case or error or dispute and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, then Webb’s sale record is conclusive. 10. Successful Bid and Passing of Risk Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes immediately to the Buyer. 11. Indicative Bidding Steps, etc. Webb’s reserves the right to refuse any bid, withdraw any lot from sale, to place a reserve on any lot and to advance the bidding according to the following indicative steps: Increment Dollar Range Amount $25 $0–$500 $50 $500–$1,000 $100 $1,000–$2,000 $250 $2,000–$5,000 $500 $5,000–$10,000 $1,000 $10,000–$20,000 $2,000 $20,000–$50,000 $5,000 $50,000 – $100,000 $10,000 $100,000–$200,000 $20,000 $200,000–$500,000 $50,000 $500,000–$1,000,000

Under The Protected Objects Act 1975, buyers may be required to obtain a licence for certain categories of items in a sale from the Ministry of Culture & Heritage, PO Box 5364, Wellington. 7. Remedies for Non-Payment If the Buyer fails to make full payment immediately, Webb’s is entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available under the law) 1.

to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by the Buyer whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. The Buyer will be deemed to have been granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for said Buyer’s obligations to us.

Absentee bids must follow these increments and any bids that don’t follow the steps will be rounded up to the nearest acceptable bid. 5.

This applies even if the buyer wishes to send items overseas.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph, the Seller warrants for the period of thirty days from the date of the sale that any property described in this catalogue (noting such description may be amended by any saleroom notice or announcement) which is stated without qualification to be the work of a named author or authorship is authentic and not a forgery. The term ”Author” or ”authorship” refers to the creator of the property or to the period, culture, source, or origin as the case may be, with which the creation of such property is identified in the catalogue. The warranty is subject to the following: it does not apply where a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts at the date of the sale or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, or b) correct identification of a lot can be demonstrated only by means of a scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which at the date of the publication of the catalogue was unreasonably expensive or impractical or likely to have caused damage to the property. the benefits of the warranty are not assignable and shall apply only to the original buyer of the lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by Webb’s when the lot was sold at Auction. the Original Buyer must have remained the owner of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to any third party. The Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against the Seller in place of any other remedy which might be available, is the cancellation of the sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid for the lot less the buyer’s premium which is non-refundable. Neither the Seller nor Webb’s will be liable for any special, incidental nor consequential damages including, without limitation, loss of profits. The Buyer must give written notice of claim to us within thirty days of the date of the Auction. The Seller shall have the right, to require the Buyer to obtain two written opinions by recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to the Buyer and Webb’s to decide whether or not to cancel the sale under warranty. the Buyer must return the lot to Seller in the same condition that it was purchased. 8. Severability If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the Conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law. 9. Copyright The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by Webb’s relating to a lot including the contents of this catalogue, is and shall remain the property at all times of Webb’s and shall not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else without our prior written consent.

Jewels & Watches

Gemstones Gemstones have historically been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearances. Sapphires and rubies are routinely heat treated to improve their colour and clarity, similarly emeralds are frequently treated with oils or resin for the same purpose. Other treatments such as staining and dyeing, irradiation, filling or coating may have been used on other precious and semi-precious gemstones and organic material. These treatments may be permanent, whilst others may need special care to preserve their appearance. Buyers should assume that each lot has been subject to some form of treatment and that the estimates reflect this. A number of laboratories issue certificates that give detailed descriptions of gemstones, and in the event that Webb’s has been supplied with or obtained certificates for any lot, this shall be noted in the catalogue. However, as there may not be consensus between different laboratories on the degree, or types of treatment of the gemstones Webb’s supplies these without warranty. Pearls Pearls, like gemstones, can also be subjected to various treatments. Buyers should assume that any pearls sold by Webb’s may have been subjected to such treatments, and that the catalogue estimates reflect this. Watches Please note: All watches sold by Webb’s are sold on an ”as is” basis. Webb’s makes no representation or warranty that any watch is in working order. Many watches have been repaired over their lifetime and may contain non-original parts. The absence of any reference to the condition of a watch does not imply that the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Buyers should be aware that a general service charge for battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Estimated Weights If a stone has a known weight, it has been weighed out of the mount. If a stone has an estimated weight, it is an approximate weight only and has been measured by us in the mount and is a statement of opinion only. The information is given as a guide only and Buyers should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy. 15.

Māori Taonga

Law and Jurisdiction
