A Very Fine Italian Violin by Annibale Fagnola, Turin 1930, After Cappa<br />

Inscribed on the upper rib: Annibale Fagnola Fecit Torino 1930<br />
Length of back: 14ins, 356mm<br />
Sold with the certificate of Florian Leonhard, London <strong>2012</strong>.<br />
£40,000 - £60,000<br />
The owner of this violin by Annibale Fagnola, made in Turin in 1930, last saw his violin in 1958 when he<br />
locked the case after playing it for the last time. Moving forward over fifty years to the day he brought a<br />
locked case to one of our UK appraisal days, the owner explained that he had lost the key to his rather<br />
battered but heavy old wooden case, and did I have any way of opening it? Upon being asked what<br />
was inside he couldn’t remember, only that it had been given to him whilst at school. French? English?<br />
German - Italian? - he simply couldn’t recall. Brompton’s accepted the case and promised to open it.<br />
Over a month later a key was finally found that worked (after much jiggling and cajoling) and hey<br />
presto! A superb Fagnola and one very happy and surprised owner.

Sold with the original fingerboard, bearing the W.E. Hill & Sons Registration No. P128 and with the<br />
certificate of Peter Biddulph, London <strong>2012</strong><br />
Pietro Giovanni Mantegazza is an important figure in Italian violin making, between the great masters<br />
of the classical period, and the renaissance led by Pressenda and Rocca in Turin in the next generation.<br />
Evidently the pupil of Carlo Ferdinando Landolphi, his work is more consistent and disciplined, but<br />
retains the fluidity of earlier makers. He also retained something of the great varnishes of the 17th<br />
century, maintaining a soft, deeply coloured recipe of depth and richness. He made a relatively large<br />
number of violas, of which this is a striking and characteristic example. The slightly elongated, slender<br />
soundholes show Landolphi’s influence, as does the strongly defined and distinctive head. The strong<br />
arching, of medium height but considerable fullness, is typical of Mantegazza’s work, and seems to be<br />
his own development. Although slightly reduced in the upper bouts, this viola is a very original and<br />
authentic instrument.<br />

Conditions of Business<br />
The conditions set out below are the terms on which we contract, as<br />
auctioneers, with sellers and, as agent acting on behalf of sellers, with buyers.<br />
Buyers and sellers should read the conditions carefully. Buyers’ attention is<br />
drawn in particular to clause 16 which limits our liability. For ease of reference,<br />
the conditions are divided into sections: Section A gives a background to some<br />
of the terms that are used in the Conditions generally; Section B is of particular<br />
relevance to sellers; Section C to buyers; and Section D to both sellers and<br />
buyers.<br />
A. Background to Terms used in<br />
these Conditions<br />
1. In the conditions set out below, some terms are used regularly that need<br />
explanation.<br />
They are as follows:<br />
• “the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer;<br />
• “the Lot” means any item deposited with us for sale at auction and, in<br />
particular, the item or items described against any lot number in any<br />
catalogue;<br />
• “the Hammer Price” means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the<br />
auctioneer in relation to a Lot;<br />
• “the Buyer’s premium” means the charge payable by the Buyer as a percentage<br />
of the Hammer Price, at the rates set out in clause 15(a) in Section C;<br />
• “the Reserve” means the amount below which we agree with the Seller that<br />
the Lot cannot be sold;<br />
• “Forgery” means a Lot constituting an imitation originally conceived and<br />
executed as a whole with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship,<br />
origin, age, period, culture or source where the correct description as to such<br />
matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue and which at the<br />
date of the auction had a value materially less than it would have had if it<br />
had been in accordance with the description in the catalogue. Accordingly,<br />
no Lot shall be capable of being a Forgery by reason of any damage and/or<br />
restoration work of any kind (including re-enamelling).<br />
• “The Insured Value” means the amount that Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited<br />
in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider to be the value for<br />
which a Lot should be covered by insurance (whether or not insurance is<br />
arranged by us).<br />
B. The Seller<br />
2. Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited’s Role as Agent.<br />
Our sales at public auction are undertaken as agent, on behalf of the Seller. The<br />
contract for the sale of the Lot will be between the Seller and the Buyer.<br />
3. Commission<br />
We shall charge the Seller commission at a rate agreed between the Seller and<br />
Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited. VAT at the appropriate rate will be charged on<br />
the commission. We shall also collect from the Buyer a premium in addition to<br />
the Hammer Price. We shall be entitled to retain this premium.<br />
4. Expenses<br />
Bromptons will charge the Seller for all its out of pocket expenditure over and<br />
above its agreed fee, in particular:<br />
a) all costs of Packing and shipping the Lot to us for sale;<br />
b) all applicable transit insurance costs;<br />
c) all costs relating to packing and shipping the lot if it is returned to the Seller;<br />
d) all applicable customs duties;<br />
e) all restoration of the Lot agreed in advance with the Seller<br />
f) all examination costs incurred by external experts we believe appropriate, if<br />
agreed in advance with the Seller<br />
g) photography charges of £35 per lot advertised online, and where previously<br />
agreed charges for the catalogue photography.<br />
h) all Storage costs of the lot after the sale;<br />
i) all applicable VAT.<br />
Bromptons will on request provide advance estimates of such expenditure and<br />
the Seller is directed to www.bromptonsauctioneers.com where applicable<br />
rates for the more routine of these expenses are posted from time to time. The<br />
Seller is aware that Bromptons will not have control of the level of such third<br />
party charging and the Seller is advised, if concerned, to make his/its own<br />
direct advance enquiries of, for example relevant insurance, customs and vat<br />
authorities.<br />
5a. Where the Lot is included under Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited’s Policy<br />
a) Unless we agree otherwise, the Lot will be automatically included as<br />
consigned or entrusted goods under Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited’s<br />
Fine Art Policy for the amount that we from time to time consider to be its<br />
appropriate value. This Value is not an undertaking by us that the Lot will be<br />
sold for this amount.<br />
b) We shall charge the Seller a fee for the inclusion of the Lot under our policy at<br />
the rate of 1.5% of the Hammer Price. If we arrange transport, we may charge<br />
the Seller an additional fee based on the value of the Lot and the particular<br />
circumstances of the requirements for the transport to maintain the benefit of<br />
the inclusion of the Lot under Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited’s policy during<br />
such transport. Although we shall suggest carriers if specifically requested, we<br />
cannot accept any liability in this respect.<br />
c) The Lot will retain the benefit of inclusion under Brompton’s Auctioneers<br />
Limited’s policy until the expiry of seven days after the sale. If the Lot has not<br />
been sold, it will be at the Seller’s risk after that time.<br />
d) We are unable to accept responsibility for damage caused by woodworm,<br />
changes in atmospheric conditions or acts of terrorism.<br />
5b. Owner’s Insurance<br />
If the Seller specifically instructs us not to insure the Lot, it will remain at the<br />
Seller’s risk at all times until the Buyer has made payment in full. The Seller will<br />
indemnify us and our employees and agents, and the Buyer (where applicable)<br />
against any claim made against us or them in respect of the Lot, however that<br />
claim may arise. The Seller will also reimburse us and them on demand for any<br />
expenses we or they may incur as a result of such a claim, even if we or they are
found to have been negligent and even where such reimbursement is required<br />
of a payment made without any legal liability being proved. The Seller must<br />
notify the Seller’s insurers of the terms of this clause.<br />
6. The Seller’s Undertakings regarding the Lot<br />
This clause sets out the basis on which we shall handle the Lot and which will<br />
govern the Seller’s relationship with the Buyer. If that basis proves incorrect in<br />
any way, either we or the Buyer may take legal action against the Seller.<br />
We shall handle the Lot, and the Buyer will purchase, on the basis of the Seller’s<br />
undertakings that:<br />
a) the Seller is the sole owner of the Lot with an unrestricted right to transfer<br />
title to the Buyer free from all third party rights or claims (including copyright<br />
claims);<br />
b) the Seller has complied with all requirements, legal or otherwise relating to<br />
any export or import of the Lot and has notified us in writing of any failure<br />
c) by third parties to comply with such requirements in the past; and<br />
d) the Seller has notified us in writing of any material alterations to the Lot of<br />
which the Seller is aware and of any concerns expressed by third parties in<br />
relation to the ownership, condition or attribution of the Lot. If any of (a), (b)<br />
and (c) above is incorrect, the Seller will indemnify us and/or the Buyer in full<br />
on demand against all claims, costs or expenses incurred by us or the Buyer as<br />
a result, whether arising in relation to the Lot or the proceeds of sale.<br />
7. <strong>Sale</strong> Arrangements<br />
a) We shall have complete discretion as to the way the Lot is described and<br />
illustrated in the catalogue or any condition report; the place and manner<br />
of sale; the decision as to which persons should be admitted to the auction,<br />
and as to which bids should be accepted; whether expert advice should be<br />
sought, and the combination or division of goods for sale.<br />
b) Any estimate given, orally or in writing, is a matter of opinion only and is not<br />
an assurance in relation to the price the Lot will eventually fetch.<br />
c) The Seller may not withdraw the Lot from sale without our consent. However,<br />
we reserve the right to withdraw the Lot from sale at any time if (i) we have<br />
any doubt as to its attribution or authenticity or as to the accuracy of the<br />
statements made in clause 6 (a), (b) or (c) above or (ii) there is any breach<br />
of these Conditions of Business or (iii) we believe it would be improper to<br />
include the Lot in the sale.<br />
d) If either we or the Seller withdraw the Lot, we shall charge the Seller a fee<br />
equal to 20% of the Reserve or, if no Reserve has been agreed at that time,<br />
20% of the Insured Value, together with any applicable VAT and insurance and<br />
other expenses.<br />
8. Conduct of <strong>Sale</strong><br />
a) The Lot will be sold subject to the Reserve, which cannot be above the low<br />
estimate printed in the catalogue unless the Reserve is agreed to in a currency<br />
other than pounds sterling and the exchange rates fluctuate between<br />
the time the Reserve is agreed and the day of the sale. In this case, unless<br />
we agree otherwise, the Reserve shall be an amount equal to the pound<br />
sterling equivalent based on the closing exchange rate on the business day<br />
immediately preceding the sale. We shall in no circumstances be liable if bids<br />
are not received at the level of the Reserve. We shall however be entitled to<br />
sell the Lot below the Reserve. If we do so, we shall be obliged to account to<br />
the Seller as if the Hammer Price was equal to the Reserve.<br />
b) The Seller may not bid for the Lot nor employ any person to do so on the<br />
Seller’s behalf, although we shall have the right to bid on the Seller’s behalf up<br />
to the amount of the Reserve.<br />
9. After the <strong>Sale</strong><br />
a) Accounting<br />
After the sale, we shall require payment in full from the Buyer, including<br />
payment of the Buyer’s premium. Provided this has occurred, we shall remit to<br />
the Seller an amount equal to the Hammer Price less all charges due from the<br />
Seller, 35 days after the date of the sale, unless we have received notice that<br />
the Lot is a Forgery (as defined in Clause 1 of these Conditions of Business).<br />
In the event of late payment by the Buyer we shall make such remittance to<br />
the Seller within seven days of that payment by the Buyer. If for any reason we<br />
make payment to the Seller of the amount due before payment by the Buyer,<br />
we shall acquire complete ownership of and title in the Lot, save only that in<br />
the event that we are obliged to accept the Lot back from the Buyer on the<br />
basis that it is a Forgery, the Seller will refund to us the proceeds of sale paid<br />
to the Seller.<br />
Payment will be made in sterling unless the Seller instructs otherwise in<br />
writing. If the Seller requires payment other than in sterling, we shall charge<br />
the Seller for any currency costs incurred. <strong>Sale</strong> proceeds will be calculated<br />
at the one month forward rate of exchange quoted to us by Coutts & Co.<br />
prevailing 35 days after the date of the auction. Our certificate as to such rate<br />
will be conclusive.<br />
b) Non-Payment by the Buyer<br />
If the Buyer fails to pay the full amount due within 35 days after the date<br />
of sale, we shall be entitled to agree special terms on the Seller’s behalf for<br />
payment, storage and insurance, and to take any steps we consider necessary<br />
to collect the amount due from the Buyer. However, we shall not be obliged<br />
either to remit the price due to the Seller ourselves, nor to take any legal<br />
proceedings on the Seller’s behalf. We shall discuss with the Seller the<br />
appropriate course of action to be taken to recover the purchase price from<br />
the Buyer.<br />
c) Forgeries<br />
If within seven days of the date of the auction the Buyer satisfies us that the<br />
Lot is a Forgery (as defined in Clause 1 of these Conditions of Business), then<br />
(i) if the Buyer at that time has not yet paid the full amount due, we shall have<br />
the right to cancel the sale and/or (ii) if we have at that time paid the Seller<br />
the whole or part of the full amount due to the Seller, then the Seller must<br />
refund to us, on demand, the total amount paid. In the latter case we shall<br />
exercise a lien over any property of the Seller under our control as security for<br />
the amount due<br />
d) Unsold Lot<br />
If any Lot is unsold, or is not included in a sale, or is withdrawn from sale<br />
for any reason, it must be collected from us within 35 days after we send<br />
the Seller a notice requiring the Seller to collect it. If any such Lot remains<br />
uncollected for a period exceeding 35 days, a storage charge of £1 per item<br />
per day will apply and an additional charge will be made for insurance. The<br />
Seller will not be entitled to collect the Lot until all outstanding charges are<br />
met. If any such Lot is not collected within 90 days after the date of the sale<br />
or the date of the notice referred to above (whichever occurs first), it may<br />
be disposed of by us as we see fit, which may involve its removal to a third<br />
party warehouse at the Seller’s expense and its sale by public auction on such<br />
terms as we consider appropriate, including those relating to estimates and<br />
reserves. We shall then account to the Seller for the proceeds of sale, having<br />
deducted all amounts due. If any Lot is bought in or otherwise unsold by<br />
auction, we are authorised as the exclusive agent for the Seller for a period<br />
219
<strong>June</strong> 27 th <strong>2012</strong><br />
220<br />
of two months following the auction to sell such Lot privately for a price that<br />
will result in a payment to the Seller of not less than the net amount – i.e. after<br />
deduction of all charges due from the Seller – to which the Seller would have<br />
been entitled had the Lot been sold at a price equal to the Reserve, or for<br />
such lesser amount as we and the Seller shall agree. In such event the Seller’s<br />
obligations to us with respect to such a Lot are the same as if it had been sold<br />
at auction.<br />
10. Photographs and Illustrations<br />
We shall have the right (on a non-exclusive basis) to photograph, video or<br />
otherwise produce an image of the Lot. All rights in such an image will belong to<br />
us, and we shall have the right to use it in whatever way we see fit.<br />
11. Other Matters<br />
VAT The Seller will give all relevant information about his VAT status and that of<br />
the Lot to ensure that the correct information is printed in the catalogues. Once<br />
printed, the information cannot be changed. If we incur any unforeseen cost or<br />
expense as a result of the information being incorrect, the Seller will reimburse<br />
to us on demand the full amount incurred.<br />
C. Buyers<br />
12. Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited as agent<br />
As auctioneers, we act as agent for the Seller. Unless otherwise agreed sales of<br />
goods at our auctions result in contracts made between the Seller, through our<br />
agency, with the Buyer.<br />
13. Before the <strong>Sale</strong><br />
a) Examination of goods<br />
Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in<br />
which they are interested, before the auction takes place. Condition reports<br />
are usually available on request. We provide no guarantee to the Buyer other<br />
than in relation to Forgeries, as explained in clause 1 of these Conditions of<br />
Business.<br />
b) Catalogue descriptions<br />
Statements by us in the catalogue or condition report, or made orally or in<br />
writing elsewhere, regarding the authorship, origin, date, age, size, medium,<br />
attribution, genuineness, provenance, condition or estimated selling price<br />
of any Lot are merely statements of opinion, and are not to be relied on as<br />
statements of definitive fact. Catalogue illustrations are for guidance only,<br />
and should not be relied on either to determine the tone or colour of any<br />
item or to reveal imperfections. Estimates of the selling price should not be<br />
relied on as a statement that this price is either the price at which the Lot<br />
will sell or its value for any other purpose. Many items are of an age or nature<br />
which precludes their being in perfect condition and some descriptions in<br />
the catalogue or given by way of condition report make reference to damage<br />
and/or restoration. We provide this information for guidance only and the<br />
absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects<br />
or restoration nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of<br />
any others.<br />
c) Buyers Responsibility<br />
Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of<br />
the goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description.<br />
14. At the <strong>Sale</strong><br />
a) Refusal of admission<br />
Our sales take place on our own premises or premises over which we have<br />
control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable at our complete<br />
discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or attendance at an auction.<br />
b) Registration before bidding<br />
Every prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and<br />
provide identification before making a bid at auction. Prospective buyers<br />
should be aware that we usually require buyers to undergo a credit check.<br />
c) Bidding as Principal<br />
When making a bid, prospective buyers will be accepting personal liability,<br />
unless it has been agreed in writing, at the time of registration, that a bidder is<br />
acting as agent on behalf of a third party acceptable to us.<br />
d) Commission Bids<br />
If a prospective buyer gives us instructions to bid on his behalf, by using<br />
the form provided, we shall use reasonable efforts to do so, provided these<br />
instructions are received not later than 24 hours before the sale. If we receive<br />
commission bids on a particular Lot for identical amounts, and at auction<br />
these bids are the highest bids for the Lot, it will be sold to the person whose<br />
bid was received first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to other<br />
commitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the sale may be<br />
such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this is undertaken as a free<br />
service to prospective buyers on the terms stated, we cannot accept liability<br />
for failure to make a commission bid. Prospective buyers should therefore<br />
always attend personally if they wish to be certain of bidding.<br />
e) Telephone Bids<br />
If prospective buyers make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours<br />
before the sale, we shall use reasonable efforts to contact the bidders to<br />
enable them to participate in bidding by telephone, but in no circumstances<br />
will we be liable to either the Seller or any prospective buyer as a result of<br />
failure to do so.<br />
f) Currency Converter<br />
At some auctions, a currency converter will be operated, based on the one<br />
month forward rates of exchange quoted to us by Coutts and Co at opening<br />
on the date of the auction. Bidding will however take place in sterling. The<br />
currency converter is not always reliable, and errors may occur beyond our<br />
control either in the accuracy of the Lot number displayed on the converter,<br />
or the foreign currency equivalent of sterling bids. We shall not be liable to<br />
the Buyer for any loss suffered as a result of the Buyer following the currency<br />
converter rather than the sterling bidding.<br />
g) Video images<br />
At some auctions there will be a video screen. Mistakes may occur in<br />
its operation, and we cannot be liable to the Buyer regarding either the<br />
correspondence of the image to the Lot being sold or the quality of the image<br />
as a reproduction of the original.<br />
h) The auctioneer’s discretion<br />
The auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid to<br />
advance the bidding in such manner as he may decide to withdraw or divide<br />
any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots and, in the case of error or dispute,<br />
to put an item up for bidding again.<br />
i) Successful bid<br />
Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the striking of his hammer marks<br />
the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale<br />
between the Seller and the Buyer.<br />
j) Online Bidding<br />
Bromptons Auctioneers offer an online bidding service via thesaleroom. com<br />
for bidders who cannot attend the sale. In completing the bidder registration
on www.the-saleroom.com and providing your credit card details and unless<br />
alternative arrangements are agreed with Bromptons Auctioneers you:<br />
i. authorise Bromptons Auctioneers, if they so wish, to charge the credit<br />
card given in part or full payment, including all fees, for items successfully<br />
purchased in the auction via the-saleroom.com, and<br />
ii. confirm that you are authorised to provide these credit card details to<br />
Bromptons Auctioneers through www.the-saleroom.com and agree that<br />
Bromptons Auctioneers are entitled to ship the goods to the card holder<br />
name and card holder address provided in fulfilment of the sale. Please<br />
note that any lots purchased via the-saleroom.com live auction service<br />
will be subject to an additional 3% commission charge + VAT at the rate<br />
imposed on the hammer price Live online bidding is available at www.thesaleroom.com/bromptons<br />
15. After the <strong>Sale</strong><br />
a) Buyer’s Premium<br />
In addition to the Hammer Price, the Buyer must pay us the Buyer’s premium<br />
at a rate of 20% of the Hammer Price.<br />
b) Value Added Tax<br />
Value Added Tax is always payable on the premium. It may also be payable on<br />
the Hammer Price, if the Lot has been marked with a sign to that effect in the<br />
catalogue. It may be refunded on proof of export from the European Union.<br />
c) Payment<br />
The Buyer must provide us with his or her name and permanent address<br />
and, if so requested, details of the bank from which payment will be made<br />
and then pay the full amount due (comprising the Hammer Price, the Buyer’s<br />
premium and any applicable value added tax) within seven days after the<br />
date of the sale. This applies even if the Buyer wishes to export the lot and an<br />
export licence is (or may be) required. The Buyer will not acquire title to the<br />
Lot until all amounts due to us have been paid to us, even in circumstances<br />
where we have released the Lot to the Buyer. Payment may be made by Visa<br />
or Access and an additional charge will be made if not received within 7<br />
working days of the sale date. Payments exceeding £5,000 can normally only<br />
be made by the card holder in person whilst on our premises. Brompton’s<br />
Auctioneers Limited is not able to notify successful bidders by telephone.<br />
While Invoices are sent out by mail after the auction we do not accept<br />
responsibility for notifying you of the result of your bid. Buyers are requested<br />
to contact us by telephone or in person as soon as possible after the sale to<br />
obtain details of the outcome of their bids to avoid incurring unnecessary<br />
charges. Successful bidders will pay the price of the final bid plus premium<br />
plus any applicable VAT.<br />
d) Collection of Purchases<br />
Unless we specifically agree to the contrary, we shall retain items sold until<br />
all amounts due to us, or to any other associated company of Brompton’s<br />
Auctioneers Limited, have been paid in full. Items retained will be covered by<br />
our insurance from the date of sale for a period of seven days or, if by then the<br />
goods have been collected, to the time of collection. After seven days or from<br />
the time of collection, whichever is the earlier, the Lot will be entirely at the<br />
Buyer’s risk.<br />
e) Notification<br />
Invoices are sent out by mail after the sale day, but we do not accept<br />
responsibility for notifying you of your bid. Bidders are requested to contact<br />
us as soon as possible after the sale to check if they were successful, and to<br />
avoid incurring charges for late payment.<br />
f) Packing and handling<br />
We shall use all reasonable efforts to take care when handling and packing a<br />
purchased Lot but remind the Buyer that after seven days or from the time of<br />
collection the Lot is entirely at the Buyer’s risk.<br />
g) Recommended packers and shippers<br />
Our shipping department may arrange shipment as the Buyer’s agent.<br />
Although we shall suggest carriers if specifically requested, we cannot accept<br />
liability in this respect.<br />
h) Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases<br />
If the Buyer fails to make payment within seven days, we shall be entitled to<br />
exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies:<br />
• to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 4% above Coutts & Co. base rate per<br />
month on the full amount due to the extent it remains unpaid for more than<br />
seven days after the date of the auction;<br />
• to set off against any amounts which we or any other associated company of<br />
Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited may owe the Buyer in any other transaction<br />
the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer;<br />
• to exercise a lien on any of the Buyer’s property which may be in our<br />
possession for any purpose and, following 14 days’ notice to the Buyer of the<br />
amount outstanding and remaining unpaid, arrange the sale of such property<br />
and apply the proceeds in discharge of the amount outstanding to us;<br />
• where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to us or any other associated<br />
company of Brompton’s Auctioneers Limited in respect of different<br />
transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in<br />
respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs;<br />
• to reject at any future auction any bids made by the Buyer or on his behalf or<br />
obtain a deposit from the Buyer before accepting any bids. If the Buyer fails to<br />
make payment within thirty-five days, we shall in addition be entitled:<br />
• to issue proceedings on behalf of the Seller against the Buyer to recover<br />
the full amount due, together with the costs of such proceedings on a full<br />
indemnity basis and with interest, charged at 4% per annum above Coutts &<br />
Co. Base Rate;<br />
• to cancel the sale of the Lot or any other item sold to the Buyer at the same or<br />
any other auction;<br />
• to arrange a resale of the Lot, publicly or privately, and, if this results in a lower<br />
price being obtained, claim the balance from the Buyer together with any<br />
costs incurred in connection with the Buyer’s failure to make payment.<br />
i) Failure to collect<br />
Where purchases are not collected within seven days after the sale, whether<br />
or not payment has been made, we shall arrange storage at the Buyer’s<br />
expense, and only release the items purchased after payment has been made<br />
in full of storage, removal, insurance and any other costs incurred, together<br />
with payment of all other amounts due to us.<br />
j) Export Licence<br />
Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact that the Buyer wishes to<br />
apply for an export licence does not affect his obligation to make payment<br />
within seven days nor our right to charge interest on late payment. If the<br />
Buyer requests us to apply for an export licence on his behalf, we shall be<br />
entitled to recover from him our disbursements and out of pocket expenses<br />
in relation to such application, together with any relevant VAT. We will not<br />
221
<strong>June</strong> 27 th <strong>2012</strong><br />
222<br />
be obliged to refund any interest or other expenses incurred by the Buyer<br />
where payment is made by the Buyer despite the fact that an export licence<br />
is required.<br />
16. Extent of Our Liability<br />
We have an obligation to refund the Buyer in the circumstances set out in clause<br />
17. However, neither the Seller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents, are<br />
responsible for the correctness of any statement as to the authorship, origin,<br />
date, age, attribution, genuineness or provenance of any Lot nor for any other<br />
errors of description or for any faults or defects in any Lot. Neither the Seller,<br />
ourselves, our employees or agents, give any guarantee in respect of any Lot.<br />
Any warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this clause.<br />
17. Refund in the case of Forgery<br />
A sale will be cancelled, and the amount paid refunded to the Buyer if a Lot<br />
(other than a miscellaneous item not described in the catalogue) sold by us<br />
proves to have been a Forgery. We shall not however be obliged to refund any<br />
amounts if either<br />
a) the catalogue description or saleroom notice at the auction date<br />
corresponded to the generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts at that<br />
time, or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, or<br />
b) it can be demonstrated that the Lot is a Forgery only by means of either a<br />
scientific process not generally accepted for use until after publication of the<br />
catalogue or a process which at the date of the auction was unreasonably<br />
expensive or impracticable or likely to have caused damage to the Lot.<br />
Furthermore, the Buyer should note that this refund can be obtained only if<br />
the following conditions are met:<br />
i. the Buyer must notify us in writing, within seven days of the auction date,<br />
that in his view the Lot concerned is a forgery;<br />
ii. the Buyer must then return the item to us within fourteen days, in the same<br />
condition as at the auction date; and<br />
iii. as soon as possible following return of the Lot, the Buyer must produce<br />
evidence satisfactory to us that the Lot is a Forgery and that he is<br />
able to transfer good title to us, free from any third party claims. In no<br />
circumstances shall we be required to pay the Buyer any more than the<br />
amount paid by him for the Lot concerned and the Buyer shall have no<br />
claim for interest. The benefit of this guarantee is not capable of being<br />
transferred, and is solely for the benefit of the person to whom the original<br />
invoice was made out by us in respect of the Lot when sold and who,<br />
since the sale, has remained the owner of the Lot without disposing of any<br />
interest in it to any third party. We shall be entitled to rely on any scientific<br />
or other process to establish that the Lot is not a Forgery, whether or not<br />
such process was used or in use at the date of the auction.<br />
D. Conditions Applicable to both Buyers<br />
and Sellers<br />
18. Copyright<br />
The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material relating to a Lot is<br />
and shall remain at all times our property and shall not be used by the Buyer nor<br />
anyone else without our prior written consent.<br />
19. Notices<br />
Any notice given under these Conditions is to be in writing and, if given by post,<br />
will be taken to have been received by the addressee on the second working<br />
day after posting or, if the addressee is overseas, on the fifth working day after<br />
posting.<br />
20. Severability<br />
If any part of these Conditions of Business is found by any court to be invalid,<br />
illegal or unenforceable, that part may be discounted and the rest of the<br />
conditions shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent<br />
permitted by law.<br />
21. Law and Jurisdiction<br />
These Conditions of Business are subject to English law, which shall apply to<br />
their construction as well as to their effect. For our benefit, the Seller and the<br />
Buyer submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

<strong>Sale</strong> Date: <strong>2pm</strong>, 27 th <strong>June</strong> <strong>2012</strong> / <strong>Sale</strong> No. 1021<br />
I request Brompton Auctioneers, without legal obligations of any kind on it’s part, to bid on the following Lots up to the price given below. I understand that if my<br />
bid is successful the Purchase Price payable will be the sum of the final bid and a Premium at the Rate of Premium as a percentage of the final bid (together with any<br />
VAT chargeable on the final bid and the Premium) – see Conditions of Business. The Rate of Premium is 20% of the Hammer Price of each lot; VAT is chargeable on<br />
