How to Buy 

All you need to know about the bidding process at auction 

Viewing 

Catalogues 

Online catalogues can be viewed at 

www.gibsonsauctions.com.au approximately three weeks 

prior to the auction date. 

Complimentary printed catalogues are available at Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers. 

Symbols 

Occasionally, a symbol is printed next to a lot number, 

indicating a special clause associated with the sale of the 

item/s. Further information on symbols within our catalogues 

can be found on Page 1. 

Viewing 

Auction viewings are open to the public and usually take place 

three or four days prior to the auction date, at the location/s 

listed in the auction catalogue and on the website. 

Lot Descriptions 

Lot Descriptions provide basic catalogue information such 

as dimensions, date or age, medium, attribution, provenance 

and quantity. 

All lots are guaranteed for fourteen (14) days from the 

auction date. 

Estimates 

Estimates are printed in the catalogue beside every lot and 

take into account rarity, condition, quality and provenance. 

The reserve is the amount at which the item is available for 

purchase. The reserve is an undisclosed confidential amount 

which is set at, or below the low estimate. 

The reserve will never exceed the low estimate at Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers. Many lots are sold without reserve. 

Talk to our Specialists 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers are an experienced team of 

specialists who are available to discuss items in further detail, 

and to offer advice and assistance. 

Contact details for relevant specialists can be found on the

Condition Reports 

Condition Reports are available on request. Condition Reports

We strongly advise obtaining a condition report if you are 

unable to view an item in person prior to the auction. 

To request a condition report please email 

condition.reports@gibsonsauctions.com.au with the auction 

title and lot number/s. 

Bidding 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers offer four bidding options: 

1. Auction Room Bidding 

To bid in person we suggest you arrive early so that you 

have sufficient time to register for a bidding number prior 

to the auction. If this is your first time bidding with Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers please bring photo identification, such 

as a driver’s licence or passport with you. 

2. Telephone Bidding 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers offer telephone bidding on all 

lots, at all auctions. 

Telephone Bidding is a convenient solution if you are unable to 

attend an auction in person. A Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 

staff member will call you approximately 5 lots in advance and 

with your instruction, bid on your behalf at the auction. 

Please note: Telephone Bids must be organised at least 24 

hours prior to the auction and that occasionally, the number 

of telephone bidders available may be restricted when the 

auction is offsite. 

To organise a Telephone Bid please follow the link 

to the Telephone Bidding form on our website: 

www.gibsonsauctions.com.au. 

Please fill in & return via email to mail@gibsonsauctions.com.au 

If this is your first time bidding with Gibson’s Auctioneers & 

Valuers, an email address is to be supplied when you submit 

your Telephone Bid, along with clear Photo ID verifying 

your address.

3 

3. Absentee Bids 

Absentee Bidding is another convenient solution if you 

are unable to attend an auction in person, to speak on the 

telephone or if you simply have a strict budget. 

An Absentee Bid should be set at the maximum amount 

you wish to bid on the lot/s you are interested in purchasing. 

Should the lot/s be knocked down at an amount lower than 

the bid recorded on your form, the lot will be sold to you for 

the lesser hammer price. 

Please note Absentee Bids must be received at least 24 hours 

prior to the auction to allow time for processing. 

To organise an Absentee Bid please follow the link to 

the Absentee Bidding form available on our website:

your address. 

4. Online Bidding 

Online bidding allows you to bid via the internet in real 

time with a live broadcast of the auction. To bid online visit 

our website and follow the ‘Live Bidding’ link under the 

‘Auctions’ tab. 

Please register for this service at least 24 hours prior to the 

auction to ensure you do not miss your lot.

previously, a photo ID verifying your address will be 

required before you can be approved to bid. Please email to 

mail@gibsonsauctions.com.au as soon as practical.

hours should you not be successful. If you are successful 

the deposit will be deducted from your invoice total. The 

remaining balance must be paid preferably by direct deposit.

Property from 

the Estate of 

Charles Wheeler 

Charles Arthur Wheeler was born in Dunedin, New Zealand in 

1880 arriving in Melbourne in 1891. A portrait and landscape 

painter he studied under Frederick McCubbin and L. Bernard 

Hall at the National Gallery School, Melbourne. 

In 1910 Wheeler held his first one-man show and the 

National Art Gallery of New South Wales purchased his 

painting, ‘The Portfolio’, while the National Gallery of Victoria 

acquired ‘The Poem’. Wheeler exhibited with the Victorian 

Artists’ Society in 1908-10 and with the Australian Art 

Association in the 1920s and 1930s. 

Travelling to London in 1914 he joined the Royal Fusiliers 

and gained a Distinguished Conduct Medal for service 

during World War I. Wheeler returned to Melbourne and 

taught at the Gallery School becoming Drawing Master in 

1935. He was later appointed Head of the Gallery School 

in 1939 retiring in 1945. Wheeler won the Crouch Prize 

in 1932 and the Archibald Prize in 1933 and 1934. He 

is represented in the collection of the National Gallery 

of Australia, the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, 

Melbourne University and many Regional Galleries 

including the Castlemaine Art Gallery. 

He was a sensitive painter with knowledge, experience and a 

well-developed craftsmanship. Firmly committed to classicist 

modes of painting, he was especially well-known for his 

studies of nudes. 

Considered a thorough gentleman, he was much respected, 

particularly at the Savage Club of which he was sometime 

president. Charles Wheeler died on 26 October 1977 at the 

age of 96 years. 

All of the present art works have come from the family of 

Dora Green (nee Wyatt) the artist’s niece and have never 

been shown before now. One of the most interesting 

aspects of the portrait of Dora Green (Dorrie) in this 

collection is the inclusion of the actual pieces used in 

the painting being the Chinese tea-set in the lower right 

foreground and the Chinese silk outfit worn by her. The 

works in this collection give a rare opportunity to acquire an 

art work gifted by the artist to his niece.

Terms & Conditions of Sale 

The terms and conditions of sale listed here contain 

the policies of Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 

Pty Ltd. They are the terms on which Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers Pty 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. 

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 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 Buyers 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 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 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 Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers 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 Gibson’s Auctioneers 

& Valuers.) 

All values expressed in Gibson’s Auctioneers & 

Valuers Pty Ltd catalogues (in any format) are in 

Australian Dollars (AU$). All bids, “hammer price”, 

“reserves”, “Buyers Premium” and other expressions 

of value are understood by all parties to be in 

Australian Dollars (AU$) unless otherwise specified. 

2. Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 

Auctions as Agent 

Except as otherwise stated Gibson’s Auctioneers & 

Valuers Pty 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 

A) 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 Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers 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” 

B) CATALOGUE AND OTHER DESCRIPTIONS 

All statements by Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 

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 Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers 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 Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 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. 

Foreign buyers should note that all transactions 

are in Australian dollars (AU$)so there may be a 

small exchange rate risk. The costs associated 

with acquiring a good certificate will be carried by 

the purchaser. If the item turns out to be forged or 

otherwise incorrectly described, all reasonable costs 

will be borne by the vendor. 

C) BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY 

All property is sold “as is” without representation 

or warranty of any kind by Gibson’s Auctioneers 

& Valuers 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 

4. At the Sale 

A) REFUSAL OF ADMISSION 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers reserves the right at 

our complete discretion to refuse admission to the 

auction premises or participation in any auction and 

to reject any bid. 

B) REGISTRATION BEFORE BIDDING 

Any prospective new buyer must complete and sign 

a registration form and provide photo-identification 

before bidding. Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers may 

request bank, trade or other financial references to 

substantiate this registration. 

C) BIDDING AS A PRINCIPAL 

When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal 

liability to pay the purchase price including the 

buyers premium and all applicable taxes, plus all 

other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly 

agreed in writing with Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 

before the commencement of the sale that the 

bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified 

third party acceptable to Gibson’s Auctioneers & 

Valuers and that Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers will 

only look to the principal for payment. 

D) INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATIONS 

All International clients not known to Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers 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 Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers’ account at least 

48 hours before the commencement of the auction. 

Bids will not be accepted without this deposit. 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 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 can not be charged to this card without 

prior arrangement. This deposit is redeemable 

against any auction purchase. 

E) ABSENTEE BIDS 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 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 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers after the auction if 

they were successful. Unlimited or “Buy” bids will not 

be accepted. Please refer to our indicative bidding 

increments below for appropriate absentee bid 

amounts (Section K). 

F) TELEPHONE BIDS 

Priority will be given to overseas and interstate 

bidders. Arrangements for this service must be 

confirmed AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR to the auction 

commencing. Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 

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 Gibson’s Auctioneers 

& Valuers cannot be held responsible for any 

mis-communications 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

Auction. You must advise Gibson’s Auctioneers & 

Valuers of the lots in question and recommend a 

‘Cover Bid’ amount should there be any issues with 

technology or communication via the telephone

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. 

G) ONLINE BIDDING 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 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. 

H) 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. 

I) AUCTIONEERS DISCRETION 

The Auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole 

discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding 

in such a manner as he 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

85 

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 Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers’s 

sale record is conclusive. 

J) 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. 

K) INDICATIVE BIDDING STEPS, ETC. 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 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: 

Increment Amount 

Dollar Range

E) CULTURAL HERITAGE EXPORT LICENCES 

Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact 

that the buyer wishes to apply for an export licence 

does not affect his or her obligation to make full 

payment immediately, nor our right to charge 

interest or storage charges on late payment. It 

is the Buyer’s responsibility to check Australia’s 

Protection of Moveable Cultural Heritage Act 1986 

before purchase. If the Buyer requests Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers to apply for an export licence 

then we shall be entitled to charge a fee for this 

service. We shall not be obliged to rescind a sale nor 

to refund any interest or other expenses incurred 

by the Buyer where payment is made by the Buyer 

in circumstances where an export licence is not 

granted. 

F) REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT 

If the Buyer fails to make full payment immediately, 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 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) 

i) to charge interest at the ANZ visa credit card 

rate as published weekly in the Australian 

Financial Review 

ii) 

iii) 

iv) 

to hold the defaulting Buyer liable for the 

total amount due and to commence legal 

proceedings for it’s recovery along with interest, 

legal fees and costs to the fullest extent 

permitted under applicable law 

to cancel the sale 

to resell the property publicly or privately on 

such terms as we see fit 

v) to pay the Seller an amount up to the net 

proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid 

by the defaulting Buyer. In these circumstances 

the defaulting Buyer can have no claim upon 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers in the event that 

the item(s) are sold for an amount greater than 

the original invoiced amount. 

vi) 

vii) 

to set off against any amounts which Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers may owe the Buyer in 

any other transactions, the outstanding amount 

remaining unpaid by the Buyer. 

where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to 

us, in respect of different transactions, to apply 

any amount paid to discharge any amount owed 

in respect of any particular transaction, whether 

or not the Buyer so directs.

or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit 

from the Buyer prior to accepting any bids. 

ix) 

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 such Buyer’s obligations 

to us. 

x) to take such other action as Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers deem necessary or 

appropriate 

If we do sell the property under paragraph 

(iv), then the defaulting Buyer shall be liable 

for payment of any deficiency between the 

total amount originally due to us and the 

price obtained upon reselling as well as for 

all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and 

commissions and premiums of whatever kinds 

associated with both sales or otherwise arising 

from the default. 

If we pay any amount to the Seller under 

paragraph (v) the Buyer acknowledges that 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers shall have all 

of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to 

pursue the Buyer for such amount. 

G) FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES 

Where purchases are not collected within three (3) 

days from the sale date, whether or not payment 

has been made, we shall be permitted to remove the 

property to a warehouse at the buyer’s expense, and 

only release the items after payment in full has been 

made of removal, storage handling, insurance and 

any other costs incurred, together with payment of all 

other amounts due to us. 

6. Extent of Gibson’s Auctioneers & 

Valuers Liability 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers agrees to refund 

the purchase price in the circumstances of the 

Limited Warranty set out in paragraph 7 below. 

Apart from that, neither the Seller nor we, nor any 

of our employees or agents are responsible for 

the correctness of any statement of whatever kind 

concerning any lot, whether written or oral, nor 

for any other errors or omissions in description 

or for any faults or defects in any lots. Except as 

stated in paragraph 7 below, neither the Seller 

ourselves, our officers, agents or employees give any 

representation warranty or guarantee or assume any 

liability of any kind in respect of any lot with regard 

to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, 

description, size, quality, condition, attribution, 

authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance, 

exhibition history, literature or historical relevance. 

Except as required by local law any warranty of any 

kind is excluded by this paragraph. 

7. Limited Warranty 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this 

paragraph, the Seller warrants for the period of 

fourteen (14) 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

86 

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: 

i) 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. 

ii) 

iii) 

iv) 

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 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 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 buyers premium which is 

non refundable. Neither the Seller nor Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers will be liable for any 

special, incidental nor consequential damages 

including, without limitation, loss of profits not for 

interest. 

v) The Buyer must give written notice of claim 

to us within fourteen (14) 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 Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers to decide whether or not 

to cancel the sale under warranty. 

vi) 

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 of all images, illustrations and written 

material produced by Gibson’s Auctioneers & 

Valuers relating to a lot including the contents of this 

catalogue, is and shall remain the property at all times 

of Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers and shall not be 

used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else without our 

prior written consent. Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 

and the Seller make no representation or warranty 

that the Buyer of a property will acquire any copyright 

or other reproduction rights in it. 

10. Law and Jurisdiction

concerned with the foregoing fall within the exclusive 

jurisdiction of the courts of the state in which the 

auction is held. 

11. Pre-Sale Estimates 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers publishes with each 

catalogue our opinion as to the estimated price range 

for each lot. These estimates are approximate prices 

only and are not intended to be definitive. They are 

prepared well in advance of the sale and may be 

subject to revision. Interested parties should contact 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers prior to auction for 

updated pre-sale estimates and starting prices. 

12. Sale results 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers will provide auction

13. Goods and Service Tax 

In accordance with A New Tax System (Goods 

and Services Tax) Act 1999 Gibson’s Auctioneers 

& Valuers Auctions will collect on behalf of the 

Australian tax office (ATO) a Goods and Service Tax 

(GST) of 10% on all applicable transactions. 

ABN: 26 440 767 899 

GST is applicable on the hammer price in the case 

where the seller is selling property that is owned by 

an entity registered for GST. GST is also applicable 

on the hammer price in the case where the seller is 

not an Australian resident. These lots are denoted by 

a dagger symbol † placed next to the estimate. 

GST is also applicable on the buyer’s premium. 

Overseas buyers and buyers non-resident in Australia 

will not be charged GST on both hammer price and 

premiums under the following conditions: 

1. The items are exported through a Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers approved freight 

company including Australia Post 

2. The items are exported within 60 days of the 

date of the sale 

The invoice supplied by Gibson’s Auctioneers & 

Valuers for purchases will be regarded as a Tax 

invoice for GST purposes. 

14. Resale Royalty Scheme 

Under the legal obligations of the Resale Royalty 

Scheme for Visual Artists Act 2009, sellers must 

provide the following information to comply with 

the act: 

• was the artwork acquired after 8 June 2010? 

• is the sale/reserve price (including GST) $1,000 

or more? 

• is the artist from Australia or a country listed in 

the Regulations to the Act? 

• is the artist alive, or deceased less than 70 

years? 

The seller: 

i) acknowledges that he or she understands his or 

her legal obligations under the Resale Royalty for 

Visual Artists Act 2009 (the Act); 

ii) 

iii) 

iv) 

undertakes to comply with all requirements of 

the Act, including by providing its agent, the 

company, with accurate information sufficient for 

compliance with sections 28 and 29 of the Act; 

undertakes to indemnify the company for any 

loss incurred by the company as a result of 

the vendor’s failure to comply with any of the 

vendor’s legal obligations under the Act; and 

acknowledges that if he or she fails to comply 

with any of his or her legal obligations under 

the Act, the company may provide the vendor’s 

name and contact details to Copyright Agency 

Limited (CAL). 

Lots subject to payment of the Resale Royalty 

Scheme will be denoted by the §. The Australian 

Resale Royalty is a flat rate of 5% on the hammer 

price (including GST). The Australian Resale Royalty 

is payable by the seller in addition to the buyers 

premium plus any applicable GST. 

15. Jewels & Watches 

GEMSTONES 

Gemstones have historically been subjected to a 

variety of treatments to enhance their appearance. 

Sapphire 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 or 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 Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 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, Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 

supplies these without warranty. 

Buyers should assume that all gemstones sold by 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers may have been 

subjected to such treatments, and that the catalogue 

estimates reflect this. 

PEARLS 

Pearls, like gemstones, are also subject to various 

treatments. Buyers should assume that any pearls 

sold by Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers may have 

been subjected to such treatments, and that the 

catalogue estimates reflect this. 

WATCHES 

Please note: All watches sold by Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers are sold on an “as is” 

basis. Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 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, change of 

battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is 

solely responsible for, 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.
