IMPORTANT NOTICES 

Please see Conditions of Business and Conditions of Sale at the back of this catalogue 

Bloomsbury Auctions is a trading name of Greenfield Auctions Limited. Greenfield Auctions Limited is registered in England, 

company number: 07546217, registered office: 10A Mount Ephraim, Tunbridge Wells, kent TN4 8AS. 

Description and Condition of Lots 

Prospective buyers must satisfy themselves concerning the condition 

of the goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description, 

in accordance with section 6 of the Conditions of Sale and Business. 

Solely as a convenience, Bloomsbury Auctions may provide condition 

reports. Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being 

in perfect condition and some descriptions in the catalogue, or given 

by way of condition report (made either orally or in writing), make 

reference to damage and/or restoration. We provide this information 

for guidance only and 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. 

Collation of Books 

If, on collation, any NAMED items in this catalogue prove defective, in 

text or illustration, the purchaser may reject the lot provided he returns 

it within fourteen days stating the defect in writing. This however will 

not apply in the case of un-named items, periodicals, autograph letters, 

manuscripts, music, maps, atlases, prints or drawings, nor in respect of 

damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal wormholes or other defects 

not affecting the completeness of the text, nor in respect of lack of list 

of plates, inserted advertisements, cancels or subsequently published 

volumes, supplements, appendices or plates or error in the enumerating 

of the plates, nor in respect of defects mentioned in the catalogue or 

announced at the time of sale. 

Storage Charges 

Purchasers are advised that a storage charge of £1.00 per lot per day 

may be levied on all purchases not cleared within five working days of 

the sale. 

Commission Bids 

Bloomsbury will execute bids on your behalf if you are unable to attend 

the sale. Commission or absentee bids are accepted either directly 

at reception, or can be sent by post, fax, email, telephone or via the 

website: www.bloomsburyauctions.com. Bloomsbury will add these 

bids to the auctioneers’ sale book and will undertake to purchase the 

lots on your behalf as cheaply as allowed by other bids and reserves. 

Bloomsbury does not accept liability for failing to execute commission 

bids, or for any errors or omissions. 

Shipping 

Bloomsbury Auctions can accommodate shipping for certain items, 

please contact our Cashiers Department for more information. 

International Buyers are responsible for all import/export duties and 

taxes. An invoice stating the actual purchase price will accompany all 

international purchases. 

export Licences 

A licence from the Museums, Libraries & Archives Council will be 

required before items of certain kinds may be exported from the United 

kingdom. Any item containing ivory will require a CITES licence before it 

can be exported from the EU. 

Payment 

Payment will be accepted, if you are a successful bidder, by debit card 

issued by a Uk bank, in cash up to £12,000 (subject to relevant money 

laundering regulations), by bank transfer direct into our bank account, 

Bank Details: Natwest, 214 High Holborn, London WC1V 7BX. Account 

Name: Bloomsbury Auctions Clients Limited. A/C: 26702975 Sort Code: 

60-30-06 BIC: NWBk GB 2L IBAN: GB82 NWBk 6030 0626702975 or by all 

major Uk issued credit cards registered to a Uk billing address with the 

exception of American Express and Diners Club. A surcharge of 3% is 

payable on all payments made by credit card. This surcharge does not 

apply to debit card payments. Payment may also be made by Sterling 

personal cheques drawn on a Uk bank account but Bloomsbury regrets 

that purchases paid for by this method cannot be collected until your 

cheque has cleared. 

Artist’s Resale Rights (“Droit de Suite”) 

Lots marked with an delta symbol (δ) are subject to the Artist’s 

Resale Right Law.The buyer agrees to pay Bloomsbury Auctions an 

amount equal to the resale royalty and we will pay such amount to 

the artist’s collecting agent. Resale royalty applies where the 

Hammer price is 1,000 Euros or more and the amount cannot be 

more than 12,500 Euros per lot.The amount is calculated as follows: 

Royalty For the portion of the Hammer Price (in euros) 

4.00% up to 50,000 

3.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,000 

1.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,000 

0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000 

0.25% in excess of 500,000 

Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of 

calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/ Euro rate of exchange 

will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale. 

vAT 

Zero-rated items such as books, unframed maps and albums are not 

subject to VAT on the buyer’s premium. Eligible items such as manuscripts, 

prints, photographs, drawings, framed maps, paintings, pens and 

other objects are subject to VAT on the buyer’s premium as part of the 

auctioneers margin scheme at a rate of 20%. This will be invoiced at a rate 

inclusive of premium and VAT. Lots with an asterisk (*) in the catalogue 

are subject to VAT on the hammer price as well as the buyer’s premium. 

Lots marked with a double asterisk (**) have been imported from outside 

the EU to be sold at auction, and therefore the buyer must pay the import 

at a rate of 5% on the hammer and 20% on the buyer’s premium. 

valuations 

We undertake valuations for Probate and Insurance, fees being agreed 

by prior arrangement. If items are subsequently consigned for sale, the 

fees will be refunded.

*** An extremely scarce copy of this rather inaccurate 

chart of New York harbour from Sandy Hook to 

Westchester, showing Staten Island and a large part of 

Long Island. Tiddeman’s original map was first published 

by Mount & Page for Seller’s English Pilot in 1737. The 

Dublin publisher George Grierson (d.1753) is well known 

for his pirated copies, mostly of Moll maps but also of 

those by Mount & Page, the relative scarcity of which 

makes them much more sought-after than the originals 

from which they were re-engraved. Grierson published his 

pirated edition of The Fourth Book of The English Pilot, 

covering the coasts of North America and the West Indies, 

in 1749. It is perhaps worthy of note that, according to 

Tooley, the first issue of Tiddeman’s map did not credit 

him as cartographer, where the later issue of 1753, after 

Grierson’s also uncredited edition appeared, did carry his 

name, perhaps to identify and reclaim it.

CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS 

These Conditions of Sale and Business constitute the contract 

between Bloomsbury Auctions (the “Auctioneer”) and the seller, 

on the one hand, and the buyer on the other. By bidding at the 

auction, you agree to be bound by these terms. 

inFORMATiOn FOR BUYeRS 

1. introduction. 

The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, 

particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All sales 

are conducted on our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily 

available for inspection and normally accompany catalogues. Our 

staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully 

understand. 

2. Agency. 

As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose 

identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. 

Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller. 

3. estimates. 

Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might 

be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate 

may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below 

it. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where 

chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and 

may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no 

sense definitive. 

4. Buyer’s Premium. 

The Buyer agrees to pay a buyer’s premiumon the hammer price of 

each lot purchased. The buyer’s premium is 22% (26.4% including 

VAT) of the hammer price on each lot up to and including £300,000 

plus 12% (14.4% including VAT) for any amount in excess of 

£300,000. 

5. vAT. (*) 

indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate 

(presently 20%) on the hammer price as well as being an element in 

the buyer’s premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because 

the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not 

operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% 

on importation into the Uk. The double symbol (**) indicates that 

the lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the 

present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT 

(5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer’s 

premium). Lots which appear without either of the above symbols 

indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because 

such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should 

be noted that the VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable 

as input tax. 

6. Descriptions and Conditions. 

Condition reports are provided on our web site or upon request. The 

absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. 

The detail in a report will reflect the estimated value of the lot, and 

large numbers of such requests received shortly before the sale may 

not receive a response to all lots. Members of staff are not trained 

restorers or conservators and, particularly for higher value lots, you 

should obtain an opinion from such a professional. We recommend 

that you always view a lot in person. 

We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on 

information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots 

and act reasonably in taking a general view about them we are 

normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots 

in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be 

wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity 

for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for 

inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. 

Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots 

contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we, as the 

auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, 

mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working 

order. However, in so far as we have examined the goods and make a 

representation about their condition, we shall be liable for any defect 

which that examination ought to have revealed to the auctioneer 

but which would not have been revealed to the buyer had the buyer 

examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstances lots 

misdescribed because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned 

and repayment made. There is a 3 week time limit. (The expression 

‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale). 

7. electrical goods. 

These are sold as ‘antiques’ only and if bought for use must be checked 

over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician 

first. 

8. export of goods. 

Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether 

an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific 

prohibition on importing goods of that character because, e.g. they 

may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if you need 

help. 

9. Bidding. 

Bidders may be required to register before the sale commences and 

lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. 

Some form of identification may be required if you are unknown to 

us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone 

bidding. 

10. Commission bidding. 

Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the 

maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers’ premium. They will be 

executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) 

and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids 

the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in 

advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids 

by telephone or FAX.

11. Methods of Payment. 

Any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of 

the goods is permitted. The following methods of payment are 

acceptable: 

Sterling cheque to be drawn on a Uk bank and made payable to 

‘Bloomsbury Auctions’. It will be necessary to allow at least five working 

days for the cheque to clear before collecting your purchases. 

Bank transfer. All transfers must state the relevant sale number, 

lot number and your bid / paddle number. If transferring from a 

foreign currency, the amount we receive must be the total due in 

pounds sterling (after currency conversion and the deduction of 

any bank charges). Our bank details can be found on the reverse 

of your invoice or in the sale catalogue under ‘Important Notices’ 

Debit cards drawn on a Uk bank. There is no additional charge for 

purchases made with these cards. Debit cards drawn on an overseas 

bank or deferred debit cards will be subject to a 3% surcharge. 

Sterling cash payments of up to £8,000 and debit cards payments can 

be made at the Cashier’s Office, either during or after the sale. 

12. Collection and storage. 

Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection 

and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected 

promptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying storage 

charges. 

13. Droit de suite royalty charges. 

From 14th February 2006 all Uk art market professionals (which 

includes, but is not limited to; auctioneers, dealers, galleries, agents 

and other intermediaries) are required to collect a royalty payment 

for all works of art that have been produced by living artists. This 

payment is only calculated on qualifying works of art which are sold 

for a hammer price more than the Uk sterling equivalent of EURO 

1,000 – the Uk sterling equivalent will fluctuate in line with prevailing 

exchange rates. 

It is entirely the responsibility of the buyer to acquaint himself with the 

precise EURO to Uk Sterling exchange rate on the day of the sale in 

this regard, and the auctioneer accepts no responsibility whatsoever 

if the qualifying rate is different to the rate indicated. 

All items in this catalogue that are marked with δ are potentially 

qualifying items, and the royalty charge will be applied if the hammer 

price achieved is more than the Uk sterling equivalent of EURO 1,000. 

The royalty charge will be added to all relevant buyers’ invoices, and 

must be paid before items can be cleared. All royalty charges are 

passed on to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’), no 

handling costs or additional fees with respect to these charges will be 

retained by the auctioneers. 

The royalty charge that will be applied to qualifying items which achieve a 

hammer price of more than the Uk sterling equivalent of EURO 1,000, but 

less than the Uk sterling equivalent of EURO 50,000 is 4%. For qualifying 

items that sell for more than the Uk sterling equivalent of EURO 50,000 a 

sliding scale of royalty charges will apply – for a complete list of the royalty 

charges and threshold levels, please see www.dacs.org.uk. There is no VAT 

payable on this royalty charge. 

TeRMS OF COnSiGnMenT FOR SeLLeRS

In these Terms the words ‘you’, ‘yours’, etc. refer to the Seller and if the 

consignment of goods to us is made by an agent we assume that the

Seller’s authority to contract. Similarly the words ‘we’, ‘us’, etc. refer to 

the Auctioneers. 

2. Commission

enquire at our salerooms. 

3. Removal costs.

solely your responsibility. 

4. Loss and damage of goods. 

(a) Bloomsbury Auctions is not authorised by the FSA to provide 

insurance to it’s clients, and does not do so. However Bloomsbury 

Auctions for it’s own protection, assumes liability for property consigned 

to it at the lower pre-sale estimate until the hammer falls. To justify 

accepting liablilty, Bloomsbury Auctions makes a charge of 1.5% of 

the hammer price plus VAT, subject to a minmum charge of £1.50, or if 

unsold 1.5% of our lower estimate. The liability assumed by Bloomsbury 

Auctions shall be limited to the lower pre-sale estimate or the hammer 

price if the lot is sold. 

(b) If the owner of the goods consigned instructs us in writng not to take 

such action, the goods then remain entirely at the owners risk unless and 

until the property in them passes to the Buyer or they are collected by or on 

behalf of the owner, and clause 4 (a) is inapplicable le 

5. illustrations. 

The cost of any illustrations is borne by you. If we consider that the 

Lot should be illustrated your permission will be asked first. The 

copyright in respect of such illustrations shall be the property of us, 

the auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue. 

6. Minimum bids and our discretion. 

Goods will normally be offered subject to a reserve agreed between 

us before the sale in accordance with clause 7. We may sell Lots below 

the reserve provided we account to you for the same sale proceeds as 

you would have received had the reserve been the hammer price. If 

you specifically give us a “discretion” we may accept a bid of up to 10% 

below the formal reserve. 

7. Reserves. 

(a) You are entitled to place prior to the auction a reserve on any lot 

consigned, being the minimum hammer price at which that lot may 

be sold. Reserves must be reasonable and we may decline to offer 

goods which in our opinion would be subject to an unreasonably 

high reserve (in which case goods carry the storage and insurance 

charges stipulated in these Terms of Consignment). 

(b) A reserve once set cannot be changed except with our consent. 

(c) Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf 

and only up to the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances 

bid personally.

8. electrical items. 

These are subject to detailed statutory safety controls. Where such 

items are accepted for sale you accept responsibility for the cost 

of testing by external contractors. Goods not certified as safe by an 

electrician (unless antiques) will not be accepted for sale. They must 

be removed at your expense on your being notified. We reserve the 

right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense. 

9. Soft furnishings. 

The sale of soft furnishings is strictly regulated by statute law in the 

interests of fire safety. Goods found to infringe safety regulations will 

not be offered and must be removed at your expense. We reserve the 

right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense. 

The rights of disposal referred to in clause 8 and 9 are subject to the 

provisions of The Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, Schedule 

1, a copy of which is available for inspection on request 

10. Descriptions. 

Please assist us with accurate information as to the provenance etc. 

of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liability for the accuracy 

of descriptions under modern consumer legislation and in some 

circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuracies occur. 

We will assume that you have approved the catalogue description of 

your lots unless informed to the contrary. Where we are obliged to 

return the price to the buyer when the lot is a deliberate forgery under 

Condition 15 of the Conditions of Sale and we have accounted to you 

for the proceeds of sale you agree to reimburse us the sale proceeds. 

11. Unsold and withdrawn items. 

If an item is unsold it may with your consent be re-offered at a future 

sale. Where in our opinion an item is unsaleable you must collect 

such items from the saleroom promptly on being so informed. 

Otherwise, storage charges may be incurred. We reserve the right to 

charge for storage in these circumstances at a reasonable daily rate. 

12. Withdrawn and bought in items. 

These are liable to incur a charge of 15 % plus VAT on being bought in 

or withdrawn after being catalogued. 

13. Conditions of Sale. 

You agree that all goods will be sold on our Conditions of Sale. In 

particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goods either 

as owner or agent for the owner. You undertake to compensate us and 

any buyer or third party for all losses liabilities and expenses incurred 

in respect of and as a result of any breach of this undertaking. We will 

also, at our discretion, and as far as practicable, confirm that an item 

consigned for sale does not appear on the Art Loss register, which is 

administered by an independent third party. 

14. Authority to deduct commission and expenses and retain 

premium and interest. 

(a) You authorise us to deduct commission at the stated rate and 

all expenses incurred for your account from the hammer price and 

consent to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the 

buyer in accordance with our Conditions of Sale and any interest 

earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement. 

(b) You authorise us in our discretion to negotiate a sale by private 

treaty not later than the close of business 48 hours after the day of sale 

in the case of lots unsold at auction, in which case the same charges 

will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction and so far as 

appropriate these Terms apply 

15. Warehousing. 

We disclaim all liability for goods delivered to our saleroom without 

sufficient sale instructions and reserve the right to make minimum 

warehousing charge of £10 per lot per day. Unsold lots are subject to 

the same charges if you do not remove them within a reasonable time 

of notification. If not removed within three weeks we reserve the right 

to sell them and defray charges from any net proceeds of sale or at 

your expense to consign them to the local authority for disposal. 

16. Settlement. 

After sale settlement of the net sum due to you normally takes place 

within 28 days of the sale (by crossed cheque to the seller) unless 

the buyer has not paid for the goods. In this case no settlement will 

then be made but we will take your instructions in the light of our 

Conditions of Sale. You authorise any sums owed by you to us on 

other transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds. You must 

note the liability to reimburse the proceeds of sale to us as under 

the circumstances provided for in Condition 10 above. You should 

therefore bear this potential liability in mind before parting with the 

proceeds of sale until the expiry of 28 days from the date of sale.

and to satisfy any security arrangements before entering the auction 

room to view or bid; 

(b) the maker of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer 

conducting the sale shall be the buyer at the hammer price and 

any dispute about a bid shall be settled at the auctioneer’s absolute 

discretion by reoffering the Lot during the course of the auction or 

otherwise. The auctioneer shall act reasonably in exercising this 

discretion. 

(c) Bidders shall be deemed to act as principals. 

(d) Our right to bid on behalf of the seller is expressly reserved up 

to the amount of any reserve and the right to refuse any bid is also 

reserved.

5. value Added Tax. 

Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items 

affixed with an asterisk or double asterisk. Value Added Tax is charged 

at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is 

payable by buyers of relevant Lots. (Please refer to “Information for 

Buyers” for a brief explanation of the VAT position). 

6. Payment. 

(1) Immediately a Lot is sold you will: 

(a) give to us, if requested, proof of identity, and 

(b) pay to us the total amount due or in such other way as is agreed 

by us. 

(2) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any 

sums owing from you to us on any account whatever without regard 

to any directions of you or your agent, whether express or implied. 

(3) Buyers who utilise the services of ATG Live Auctions or any other 

live internet services are hereby informed that the payment method 

details that are provided to ATG Live Auctions or any other live internet 

services as part of the process of registration will, in the absence of 

compliance with paragraph (1) of this clause, be utilised by us to settle 

any amounts owing by such buyers to us. 

7. Title and collection of purchases. 

(1) The ownership of any Lots purchased shall not pass to you until 

you have made payment in full to us of the total amount due.

the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for 

payment after which you shall be responsible for any removal, storage 

and insurance charges. 

(3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for. 

(4) Bloomsbury Auctions can accommodate packing and shipping 

for certain items. For lots they are unable to provide this service for, 

successful buyers must make these arrangements independently, 

though the saleroom may be able to suggest specialist shipping 

companies who can advise buyers, this advice is not a recommendation 

and the saleroom is not liable for any aspect of the packaging and 

shipping process. Please note that the cost of packaging and shipping 

depends on the size/weight of the item(s) purchased, insurance 

requirements, and the shipping destination, not on the value of the 

item(s) purchased. Please note that any items not collected within one 

week of the sale date may be automatically removed to commercial 

storage and subject to a storage charge. 

8. Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases. 

(1) If any Lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with 

these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, 

we, as agent for the seller and on our own behalf, shall at our absolute 

discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be 

entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: 

(a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; 

(b) to rescind the sale of that Lot and/or any other Lots sold by us 

to you; 

(c) to resell the Lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you 

shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount 

due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs). 

Any surplus so arising shall belong to the seller; 

(d) to remove, store and insure the Lot at your expense and, in the case 

of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere; 

(e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month on the 

total amount due to the extent it remains unpaid for more than 3 

working days after the sale; 

(f ) to retain that or any other Lot sold to you until you pay the total 

amount due; 

(g) to reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or 

to impose conditions before any such bids shall be accepted; 

(h) to apply any proceeds of sale of other Lots due or in future 

becoming due to you towards the settlement of the total amount 

due and to exercise a lien (that is a right to retain possession of ) any 

of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt due 

is satisfied. 

(2) We shall, as agent for the seller and on our own behalf pursue these 

rights and remedies only so far as is reasonable to make appropriate 

recovery in respect of breach of these conditions 

9. Third party liability. 

All members of the public on our premises are there at their own 

risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation and security 

arrangements. Accordingly neither the auctioneer nor our employees 

or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury (except as 

required by law by reason of our negligence) or similarly for the safety 

of the property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale.

10. Commission bids. 

Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction 

and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular 

Lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied 

themselves as to its condition we will if so instructed clearly and in 

writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer nor our 

employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so save 

where such failure is unreasonable. 

Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded 

we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid 

so made. 

11. Warranty of title and availability. 

The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you that the seller is the 

true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by 

the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and 

marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 

12. Agency. 

The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any 

responsibility for default by sellers or buyers. 

13. Terms of sale. 

The seller acknowledges that Lots are sold subject to the stipulations 

of these Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment 

as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the Lot. 

14. Descriptions and condition. 

(1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical 

for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective 

buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any 

sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf ) must 

satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a 

lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, 

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 shall 

be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given 

negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the 

auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability 

for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, 

whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, 

implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject 

to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and 

applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”. 

(2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be 

sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation. 

15. Forgeries. 

Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to 

be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may bereturned to us by you 

within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition 

as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it 

from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of 

defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot 

is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the 

Lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue 

description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts 

as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a 

good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this 

condition. 

The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right 

or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale. 

General, 

16. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our 

premises or attendance at our auctions by any person. 

17. (1) Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses 

incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of these Conditions 

and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller 

and/or the auctioneer as appropriate. 

(2). Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to 

be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the 

auctioneer who may themselves enforce them. 

18. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by 

first class mail, email or Swiftmail in which case it shall be deemed to 

have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting. 

19. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular 

classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in 

accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of 

the catalogue. 

20. Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us 

notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms 

of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and 

in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these 

Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect. 

21. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
