The Collection of Billie Tyrrell
Kathleen Patricia Ince, known always as
Billie, was born in Malvern in 1924. She
spent most of her early life at Katanga,
an elegant home designed by prominent
architect Harold Desbrowe-Annear, which
still stands in Glenferrie Road. Katanga
was built by her father Wesley Armstrong
Ince, a prominent lawyer, who, with his wife
Elsie, loved to entertain. Billie and her sister
Betty were brought up surrounded by fine
art, furnishings, china and silver which was
the basis of her love for beautiful things,
particularly antiques and silver.
Despite the War, the Ince sisters were very
social and often featured in the papers,
known as some of Melbourne’s best
dressed. Billie attended finishing school at
Invergowrie before studying physiotherapy
at Melbourne University and, shortly after
graduating, moved to practice in London.
In 1957 Billie married Harry Tyrrell, a
former Naval Lieutenant and the founder
of National Can Industries. They had two
children, Alexandra and Michael. Together
they built, and lived in, houses in Toorak,
then Hawthorn, before retiring to a life spent
between an elegant apartment in Clivedon,
East Melbourne and a farming property on
the Gippsland Lakes, satisfying Billie’s love of
horses and Harry’s love of the sea.
During her long marriage to Harry, Billie
became increasingly passionate, and
knowledgeable, about sterling silver
and porcelain. She amassed substantial
collections both locally and during their
extensive travels to Europe, the UK
and New Zealand.
Billie died at the age of 93.

A gilt bronze figure of Avalokitesvara
Qing dynasty, 18th century
the deity with eleven heads standing in samabhanga on
a later lotus base, with eight arms extended in various
mudras or holding an attribute, wearing a dhoti, jewellery
and a trailing scarf, the principal hands held in anjalimudra
before the chest, the faces with serene expressions apart
from the one head with fierce expression
18cm high overall
The eleven headed Avalokitesvara is an esoteric form
of the Bodhisattva, believed to have overcome eleven
hardships in order to attain Buddhahood. Another
explanation is that Avalokistesvara fails to fulfil his vow of
saving all sentient souls from hell and his head splits into
one hundred pieces. Amitabha Buddha gathered up the
pieces and consolidated them into ten heads crowning
them with one of his own to show that Amitabha is always
there to aid him in his goal of universal salvation

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

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

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

Valuers of the lots in question and recommend a

at least 24 hours before the auction of any relevant
changes to descriptions, withdrawals or any other
sale room notices.

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

in the case or error or dispute and whether during or
165
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.

commissions and premiums of whatever kinds
associated with both sales or otherwise arising
from the default.

of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to
pursue the Buyer for such amount.

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
166
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,

opinions by recognised experts in the field,

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

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.

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.
