the Buyer must return the lot to Seller

purchased. 

8. Severability

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 

These terms and conditions and any 

matters 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 results, which will be available as 

soon as possible after the sale. Results 

will include buyer’s premium (22% plus 

GST). These results will be posted at 

www.gibsonsauctions.com.au. 

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) 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; 

iii) 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 

iv) 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. 

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

the buyer’s expense. All packing, shipping, 

insurance, postage & associated charges 

will be borne by the purchaser. 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers can assist 

with removal companies that the buyer can 

use but takes no responsibility whatsoever 

for the actions of any recommended 

third party. 

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 NONPAYMENT 

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) 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 

iii) to cancel the sale 

iv) 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) 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. 

vii) 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. 

viii) to reject at any future auction any bids 

made by 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 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) 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. 

iii) the Original Buyer must have 

remained the owner of the lot without 

disposing of any interest in it to any 

third party 

iv) 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.

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 

should contact be unsuccessful at the 

time of 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 number provided. Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers 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 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 Dollar Range 

Amount 

$20 $0–$500 

$50 $500–$1,000 

$100 $1,000–$2,000 

$200 $2,000–$5,000 

$500 $5,000–$10,000 

$1,000 $10,000–$20,000 

$2,000 $20,000–$50,000 

$5,000 $50,000–$100,000 

$10,000 $100,000–$200,000 

$20,000 $200,000–$500,000 

$50,000 $500,000–$1,000,000 

Absentee bids must follow these 

increments and any bids that don’t follow 

the steps will be rounded up to the nearest 

acceptable bid. 

5. After the Sale 

A BUYERS PREMIUM 

In addition to the hammer price, the buyer 

agrees to pay to Gibson’s Auctioneers & 

Valuers the buyers premium. The buyer’s 

premium is 22% of the hammer price plus 

GST. (Goods and Services Tax) where 

applicable. 

B PAYMENT AND PASSING OF TITLE 

The buyer must pay the full amount due 

(comprising the hammer price, buyers 

premium and any applicable taxes and 

GST) not later than three (3) days after the 

auction date. 

The buyer will not acquire title for the 

lot until Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers

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
