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.

Bidding 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers offer four bidding options:

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

have sufficient time to register for a bidding number prior

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

3. Absentee Bids 

Absentee Bidding is another convenient solution if you

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.

The George Gyori Collection 

George Gyori arrived in Australia in 1957 at the 

age of 19 as a refugee from Hungary. Brought 

here by the Red Cross, George became an 

Australian citizen in 1962 and started his own 

general engineering business in 1963. 

George's interest in timepieces can be traced 

back to his upbringing in Hungary, where it 

had not been possible for his family to afford 

the wristwatch he always wanted. His success 

in Australia meant that he was eventually 

able to begin collecting watches and this 

soon developed into an interest in clocks, 

their mechanics and their workmanship. 

It was a natural progression to clock-making 

machinery and scientific instruments. 

Between 1960 and 1980, George regularly 

visited Sunday markets and metal merchants, 

both of which he found to be a valuable source 

of pieces for his collection. As items became 

harder to find, George turned his engineering 

skills to advantage and began making 

pieces he could not source, considering 

their manufacture to be an engineering 

challenge. He always aimed for the perfect 

replica, made to the most demanding of 

engineering tolerances using his favourite 

items in this very personal collection, the old 

watch-making machinery.

A limited edition grand orrery, made by George Gyori 

mounted on an ebonised wooden base surmounted by 

a circular brass plate engraved with signs of the Zodiac, 

months of the year and the four seasons, the central stepped 

and turned brass column surmounted by a brass sun, the 

geared arms supporting the planets and moons of earth’s 

solar system. 

52cm high, 78cm diameter 

The grand orrery is a mechanical model powered by 

clockwork, that replicates the orbit of the planets of our solar 

system around the sun. The first modern orrery was produced 

in 1704. This contemporary example is made of brass and 

wood. Its baseplate is engraved with months, zodiac signs and 

the four seasons. The earliest known example of clockwork 

technology is the Greek made Antikythera mechanism 

from 87 BC. Records and mythology suggest many ancient 

cultures were familiar with clockwork mechanisms, but this 

knowledge was lost during the Dark Ages. Technology with 

comparable complexity did not re-emerge in Europe until the 

14th century. 

The present example is an astrological timepiece popularised 

during the Age of Enlightenment. This intellectual movement 

dominated European culture in the 17th and 18th century. 

The Enlightenment emphasised reason and science over 

superstition and faith to an increasingly literate population. 

This drove the development and dissemination of scientific 

equipment like orreries. 

This particular orrery models the orbit of the earth and the 

outer planets around the sun. The earth completes a solar 

orbit every 365.256 days. In this journey the earth travels 940 

million kilometres in a counter-clockwise direction at a speed 

of nearly 30 kilometres per second, or 67,000 miles per hour.

A patented tellurian tabletop orrery by Parkes and Hadley, 

early 20th century 

with an oil lamp and reflector as the sun, on a cast iron base 

27cm high 

NOTE 

A device that only illustrates the earth, is called a ‘tellurian’ and 

one that illustrates the movements of the moon, a ‘lunarium’. 

The term ‘lunarium’ is usually not associated with the lunar 

depiction of a tellurian, but rather a more specialized device.

‘Cosmographie de Girod La Maison E Ducretet & CIE a Paris, 

Rue Claude Bernard 75 est seule Concessionaire pour 

l’Exploitation de cet Appareil’ and ‘E Ducretet ET CIE Paris’

A patented Parkes and Hadley’s brass tellurian and lunarium 

orrery, late 19th century 

with a candle and reflector as the sun, on a cast iron stand 

with a crank handle mechanism 

42.5cm high 

NOTE 

Planetariums have existed for centuries. A particularly famous 

one was made about 1704 for Charles Boyle, the 4th Earl of 

Orrery and hence the machine became known as an ‘Orrery’. 

This name however, is properly applied mainly to planetariums 

illustrating more than one planet revolving around the sun. A 

device that only illustrates the earth, is called a ‘tellurian’ and 

one that illustrates the movements of the moon, a ‘lunarium’. 

Nowadays, the term ‘lunarium’ is usually not associated 

with the lunar depiction of a tellurian, but rather a more 

specialised device.

The Clark Family – A Colonial History 

John Clark migrated to Launceston, Tasmania in 1833 

aboard the ship the Red Rover. 

He married Ann Guillan and they had 3 sons and 3 

daughters. 

The eldest son was David born in Sydney in 1838. 

They came to Melbourne in1840 where John was 

listed on the electoral roll at 137 Elizabeth St as 

Journeyman and Saddler. 

John established a successful business as saddler 

and harness maker on freehold property in Lonsdale 

St which was later sold to Sydney Myer. 

In August 1854 he purchased 61/2 acres at Yarraberg 

(Richmond) where he carried on the Stafford Tannery 

in addition to the saddlery and harness business 

in Lonsdale Street. Their neighbours and friends in 

Yarraberg were the Mitchell family whose daughter 

was Nellie Melba. 

The business won a number of awards at various 

shows as follows: 

1857 Clark & Sons won second prize for cart and 

plough harness at the Port Phillip Farmers 

Society Show 

1858 Silver Medal at the Victorian Industrial Society 

Exhibition for the best 12 basils and for skirt 

hides and bag leather 

1862 Silver Medal at the London Exhibition 

1865 Silver Medal (Arts & Manufacture) Dublin 

International. 

1867 Bronze Medal best collection of leather at the 

Napoleon Exposition Universelle Paris 

1870 Bronze Medal at the NSW Agriculture Society 

1875 Silver Medal for leather at the National 

Agriculture Society 

In May 1865 John with his wife and son George 

travelled to England and Scotland but were all lost in 

the wreck of the SS London in the Bay of Biscay in 

January 1866 

David took over management of the business 

and purchased 1600 acres at Carrajung near the 

Grand Ridge Rd., Gippsland. He named the property 

Richmond Vale. Here he bred cattle and trotting 

horses which he imported to build up his stud. He 

was the first to import Aberdeen Angus cattle from 

Scotland. 

David’s imported American Champion Trotting stallion 

‘Honesty’ won amongst many races the Australian 

Trotting Championship in 1883. He was also awarded 

First and Grand Champion prize in Agricultural Shows 

from 1891 to 1894 

Richmond Vale prospered and became something 

of a showplace for being a smaller version of Como 

in South Yarra. It was well known for its hospitality 

and many visitors were entertained as house guests 

including the Victorian Governor Lord Hopetoun in 

1892 and Lady Brassey in 1898. 

David was well known in the sporting world, 

particularly Trotting and Coursing. He was a member 

of the Victorian Coursing Club and always identified 

himself with the sport. He was a Committee man and 

Steward at Moonee Valley and a representative of 

the National Coursing Club. He was recognised as an 

excellent judge of a greyhound and an authority on 

the sport. He imported the dog Pilot which ran a close 

second in the first Australian Waterloo Cup in 1873. 

He was a member of the Melbourne Cricket Club 

and the Victorian Racing Club. The finely chased and 

decorated silver mounted claret jug in the present 

lot was won by David Clark at the Mt Aitken Private 

Coursing Meeting with the dog ‘Telegraph’ in 1875. 

After selling up Richmond Vale in 1905 David entered 

hospital and passed away soon after.

NOTE 

The son of a London silversmith and a 

manufacturing silversmith, Edwards came to 

Australia in 1857. Until about 1872 he ran a business 

in Melbourne which supplied silverware to major 

retailers with some objects imported from the family 

business in London. From around 1873 to 1892, 

Edwards worked in partnership with Alexander 

Kaul. William Edwards’ workshop excelled in the 

production of silver-mounted emu egg trophies and 

is credited with making the earliest surviving piece. 

The firm produced a number of silver claret jugs 

during the 1860s and 1870s which were made in 

many variations including richly repousséd pieces 

and even emu and ostrich egg variations.

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 

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

173 

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.

a reserve on any lot and to advance the bidding

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

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.

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

174 

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

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.

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

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

GST is also applicable on the buyer’s premium. 

Overseas buyers and buyers non-resident in Australia

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

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

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

price (including GST). The Australian Resale Royalty

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.
