hours prior to the auction and that occasionally, the number<br />
of telephone bidders available may be restricted when the<br />

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

the bid recorded on your form, the lot will be sold to you for<br />
the lesser hammer price.<br />

Roger Brookes with golf club at Scotsburn Grove c1948<br />
Property from the Collection<br />
of the late Roger Brookes<br />
Roger Brookes was a great-grandson of<br />
Australia’s second Prime Minister Alfred Deakin<br />
and a member of the Brookes family who<br />
had distinguished themselves in the fields of<br />
industry (gold and paper), public service, and<br />
the pastoral industry. His father Wilfred was<br />
decorated as a war hero and for many years<br />
served as director on a number of company<br />
boards in the mining and paper manufacturing<br />
industries.<br />
On the death of his father, Sir Wilfred Deakin<br />
Brookes in 1997, Roger took over the<br />
custodianship the family home in Heyington<br />
Place in Toorak. With it came responsibility<br />
for an impressive collection of English silver,<br />
ceramics and furniture which had its genesis<br />
in the collection of his English maternal<br />
grandfather Albert Henry Heal of Oxton Hall,<br />
Birkenhead. His parents Betty and Sir Wilfred<br />
Deakin Brookes made many fine additions on a<br />
number of trips to England and antique hunting<br />
in Melbourne.<br />
Roger went on to make significant additions of<br />
Georgian silver, furniture and English blue and<br />
white ceramics to his parents’ collection which<br />
forms the basis of the Brookes Bequest gifted<br />
and now exhibited at The Johnston Collection<br />
in East Melbourne.

The Laurie Collection<br />
John Buxton Laurie and<br />
Imogen Dymphna Laurie<br />
John and Dymphna were both born in<br />
Adelaide: John was born in 1931, the middle<br />
child of Robin and Joan (nee Clark) Laurie.<br />
Dymphna was born in 1934, the youngest of<br />
two daughters of Gerard and Dora Fox (nee<br />
Betchen). The Laurie, Clark and Fox families are<br />
pioneering South Australian families with a rich<br />
Australian history.<br />
Dymphna’s father served in the Australian<br />
Imperial Forces in both World Wars and John’s<br />
father in the Australian Air Force in the second<br />
World War. Like many Australians born in this<br />
era, John and Dymphna’s lives were forged by<br />
the history of WWI, the Great Depression, and<br />
growing up during WWII. John and Dymphna<br />
met at Adelaide University. John studied<br />
Engineering and Dymphna Social Work. Upon<br />
completion of his engineering degree John<br />
went to Montreal, Canada, to work at Dominion<br />
Bridge Company. Dymphna joined him after<br />
finishing her studies and they were married in<br />
Montreal.<br />
They lived in Canada and London before<br />
returning to Sydney, Australia, when John<br />
was offered a position at Maunsell & Partners,<br />
Engineering and Planning Consultants.<br />
Post WWII saw a boom in Australian major<br />
infrastructure projects and John rose to<br />
become Managing Director and then Chairman.<br />
He left Maunsells in 1991 to take up the<br />
position of Chairman of the Citylink Project and<br />
served on the boards of Monash University,<br />
Melbourne Girls Grammar, the Austin Hospital<br />
and others.<br />
Dymphna’s career as a social worker resumed<br />
in 1973, when the family moved to Melbourne.<br />
Her area of interest was in disability services<br />
and she worked at Yooralla, the Equal<br />
Opportunity Board and The Victorian Public<br />
Guardianship & Advocacy Board. In 2006<br />
Dymphna was awarded the Member of the<br />
Order of Australia, in recognition of her services<br />
and advocacy in the disability sector.<br />
John was awarded the Companion of the Order<br />
of Australia in 2003, and the Peter Nichol medal<br />
in 2004, for his contribution to engineering<br />
in Australia and services overseas. His work<br />
in major infrastructure projects took him all<br />
over Australia and the world with Dymphna<br />
accompanying him on many trips.<br />
John and Dymphna enjoyed collecting art<br />
throughout their lives including Australian<br />
indigenous art, modern Australian art and<br />
artworks acquired on their overseas travels.<br />
John worked extensively in Papua New Guinea<br />
in its infrastructure infancy and was fascinated<br />
by the people and culture. The private<br />
collection presented with Gibson’s is a mixture<br />
of artefacts that Dymphna and John inherited<br />
from their respective families and artworks they<br />
collected during their life together.

represents the collective wisdom of<br />
the clan's departed ancestors who<br />
return at the time of such ceremonies<br />
to guide and instruct the discussions.<br />

A) EXAMINATION OF PROPERTY<br />
Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine<br />
in person any property in which they are interested<br />
before the Auction takes place. Neither Gibson's<br />
nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to<br />
the nature of the property apart from the Limited<br />
Warranty in the paragraph below. The property is<br />
otherwise sold “as is”.<br />
B) CATALOGUE AND OTHER DESCRIPTIONS<br />
All statements by Gibson's in the catalogue entry for<br />
the property or in the condition report, or made orally<br />
or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion<br />
and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact.<br />
Such statements do not constitute a representation,<br />
warranty or assumption of liability by Gibson's of<br />
any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the<br />
condition report, including damage or restoration<br />
are for guidance only and should be evaluated by<br />
personal inspection by the Bidder or a knowledgeable<br />
representative. The absence of such a reference<br />
does not imply that an item is free from defects or<br />
restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects<br />
imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the<br />
selling price should not be relied on as a statement<br />
that this is the price at which the item will sell or its<br />
value for any other purpose. Neither Gibson's nor the<br />
Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the<br />
catalogue or any supplemental material.<br />
Images are measured height by width. Illustrations<br />
are provided only as a guide and should not be relied<br />
upon as a true representation of colour or condition.<br />
Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention<br />
is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as<br />
supplementary images on the website) which do<br />
not form part of the Lot as described in the printed<br />
catalogue.<br />
All transactions are in Australian Dollars so there<br />
may be a small exchange rate risk, for international<br />
Buyers. The costs associated with acquiring a goods<br />
certificate will be borne by the Buyer. If the item<br />
turns out to be a Forgery or otherwise incorrectly<br />
described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the<br />
Seller.<br />
C) BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY<br />
All property is sold “as is” without representation or<br />
warranty of any kind by Gibson's or the Seller. Buyers<br />

to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report.<br />
4. At the Sale<br />

Gibson's reserves the right at our complete discretion<br />
to refuse admission to the Auction premises or<br />
participation in any Auction and to reject any Bid.<br />

identification before Bidding. Gibson's may<br />
request bank, trade or other financial references to<br />
substantiate this registration.<br />

When making a Bid, a Bidder is accepting personal<br />
liability to pay the purchase price including the<br />
Buyer's Premium and all applicable taxes, plus<br />
all other applicable charges, unless it has been<br />
explicitly agreed in writing with Gibson's before<br />
the commencement of the Sale that the Bidder is<br />
acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party<br />
acceptable to Gibson's and that Gibson's will only<br />
look to the principal for payment.<br />
D) INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATIONS<br />
All international clients not known to Gibson's will<br />
be required to scan or fax through an accredited<br />
form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our<br />
discretion in cleared funds into Gibson's account<br />
at least 48 hours before the commencement of<br />
the Auction. Bids will not be accepted without<br />
this deposit. Gibson's also reserves the right to<br />
request any additional forms of identification prior<br />
to registering an overseas Bid. This deposit can be<br />
made using a credit card, however the balance of<br />
any purchase price in excess of $5,000 cannot be<br />
charged to this card without prior arrangement. This<br />
deposit is redeemable against any Auction purchase.<br />
E) ABSENTEE BIDS<br />
Gibson's will use reasonable efforts to execute written<br />
Bids delivered to us at least 24 hours prior to the<br />
Sale for the convenience of those clients who are<br />
unable to attend the Auction in person. If Gibson's<br />
receives identical written Bids on a particular Lot, and<br />
at the Auction these are the highest Bids on that Lot,<br />
then the Lot will be sold to the person whose written<br />
Bid was received and accepted first. Execution of<br />
written Bids is a free service undertaken subject to<br />
other commitments at the time of the Sale and we<br />
do not accept liability for failing to execute a written<br />
Bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is<br />
the Bidder’s responsibility to check with Gibson's<br />
after the Auction if they were successful. Unlimited<br />
or “Buy” Bids will not be accepted. Please refer to our<br />
indicative Bidding increments below for appropriate<br />
absentee Bid amounts (Section K).<br />

Priority will be given to overseas and interstate<br />
Bidders. Arrangements for this service must be<br />
confirmed at least 24 hours prior to the Auction<br />
commencing. Gibson's accepts no responsibility<br />
whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute Bids.<br />
In telephone Bidding the Buyer agrees to be bound<br />
by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts<br />
that Gibson's cannot be held responsible for any<br />
miscommunications in the process. The success<br />
of telephone Bidding cannot be guaranteed due to<br />
circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should<br />
be aware of the risk and accept the consequences<br />
should contact be unsuccessful at the time of<br />
Auction. You must advise Gibson's of the Lots in<br />
question and recommend a ‘Cover Bid’ amount<br />
should there be any issues with technology or<br />
communication via the telephone number provided.<br />
Gibson's will advise Telephone Bidders who have<br />
registered at least 24 hours before the Auction of any<br />
relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals or any<br />
other Sale room notices.<br />
G) ONLINE BIDDING<br />
Gibson's accepts no responsibility for any<br />
errors, failure to execute Bids or any other<br />
miscommunications regarding this process. It is the<br />

of the relevant information regarding Bids, Lot<br />
numbers and contact details.

H) RESERVES<br />
Unless otherwise indicated, all Lots are offered<br />
subject to a Reserve, which is the confidential<br />
minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold.<br />
The Reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed<br />
in the catalogue. The Auctioneer may open the<br />
Bidding on any Lot below the Reserve by placing<br />
a Bid on behalf of the Seller. The Auctioneer may<br />
continue to Bid on behalf of Seller up to the amount<br />
of the Reserve, either by placing consecutive Bids or<br />
by placing Bids in response to other Bidders.<br />
I) AUCTIONEER'S DISCRETION<br />
The Auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole<br />
discretion to refuse any Bid, to advance the Bidding<br />
in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or<br />
divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots and,<br />
in the case or error or dispute and whether during or<br />
after the Sale, to determine the successful Bidder, to<br />
continue the Bidding, to cancel the Sale or to re-offer<br />
and resell the item in dispute. In the event of a dispute,<br />
or the Auctioneer or the Company is of the opinion<br />
that there has been a misunderstanding or mistake<br />
regarding a Sale or a Lot the subject of a Sale, the<br />
Auctioneer may rescind the Sale and put any Lot<br />
up for a Second Auction. If a Sale is rescinded, the<br />
Company may put the Lot up at a second Auction,<br />
offer the Lot for sale by private treaty or withdraw the<br />
Lot from sale entirely.<br />
J) SUCCESSFUL BID AND PASSING OF RISK<br />
Subject to the Auctioneer’s discretion, on the<br />
acceptance of a Bid by the fall of the Auctioneer's<br />
hammer, a contract of sale is made between the<br />
Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the<br />
Lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes<br />
immediately to the Buyer. Gibson's shall not be liable<br />
for any breach of contract by either the Seller or<br />
the Buyer.<br />

Premium is 22% of the Hammer Price plus GST.<br />
(Goods and Services Tax) where applicable.<br />
B) ONLINE SURCHARGE<br />
In the case where the Buyer purchases via online<br />

days after the Auction date.<br />
The Buyer will not acquire title for the Lot until<br />
Gibson's receives full payment in cleared funds, and<br />
no goods under any circumstances will be released<br />
without confirmation of cleared funds received.<br />
This applies even if the Buyer wishes to send items<br />

D) COLLECTION OF PURCHASES & INSURANCE<br />
Gibson's is entitled to retain items sold until all<br />
amounts due to us have been received in full in good<br />
cleared funds. Subject to this, the Buyer shall collect<br />
purchased Lots within three (3) days from the date of<br />
the Sale unless otherwise agreed in writing between<br />
Gibson's and the Buyer.<br />
At the fall of the hammer, insurance is the<br />
responsibility of the purchaser.<br />
E) PACKING, HANDLING AND SHIPPING<br />
At the request of the Buyer, Gibson's may assist with<br />
packing of goods but takes no responsibility for loss,<br />
damage or breakage that may occur. Gibson's at the<br />
request of the Buyer may arrange for a carrier, packer<br />
or shipper to have the property packed, insured and<br />
shipped at the Buyer’s expense. All packing, shipping,<br />
insurance, postage & associated charges will be<br />
borne by the purchaser. Gibson's can assist with<br />
removal companies that the Buyer can use but takes<br />
no responsibility whatsoever for the actions of any<br />
recommended third party.<br />
F) CULTURAL HERITAGE EXPORT LICENCES<br />
Unless otherwise agreed by Gibson's in writing, the<br />
fact that the Buyer wishes to apply for an export<br />
licence does not affect their obligation to make full<br />
payment immediately, nor Gibson's right to charge<br />
interest or storage charges on late payment. It is<br />
the responsibility of the Buyer to check Australia’s<br />
Protection of Moveable Cultural Heritage Act 1986<br />
prior to purchase. Export/import licences applications<br />
are the responsibility of the Buyer and/or the Buyer's<br />
nominated shipper. Gibson's shall not be obliged to<br />
rescind a Sale nor to refund any expenses incurred by<br />
the Buyer in circumstances where an export licence<br />
is not granted.<br />
G) REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT<br />
If the Buyer fails to make full payment immediately,<br />
Gibson's is entitled to exercise one or more of the<br />
following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting<br />
any other rights or remedies available under the law)<br />
i) to charge interest at the ANZ visa credit card<br />
rate as published weekly in the Australian<br />
Financial Review;<br />
ii)<br />
iii)<br />
iv)<br />
to hold the defaulting Buyer liable for the<br />
total amount due and to commence legal<br />
proceedings for its recovery along with interest,<br />
legal fees and costs to the fullest extent<br />
permitted under applicable law;<br />
to cancel the Sale;<br />
to resell the property publicly or privately on<br />
such terms as the Company sees fit;<br />
v) to pay the Seller an amount up to the net<br />
proceeds payable in respect of the amount Bid<br />
by the defaulting Buyer. In these circumstances<br />
the defaulting Buyer can have no claim upon<br />
Gibson's in the event that the Lot(s) are sold for<br />
an amount greater than the original invoiced<br />
amount;<br />
vi)<br />
to offset against any amounts which Gibson's<br />
may owe the Buyer across any other<br />
transactions;<br />
viii) to reject at any future Auction any Bids made by<br />
or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit<br />
from the Buyer prior to accepting any Bids;<br />
ix)<br />
to exercise all the rights and remedies of a<br />
person holding security over any property in<br />
our possession owned by the Buyer whether by<br />
way of pledge, security interest or in any other<br />
way, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of<br />
the place where such property is located. The<br />
Buyer will be deemed to have been granted such<br />
security to us and we may retain such property<br />
as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations<br />
to the Company;<br />
x) to take such other action as the Company<br />
deems necessary or appropriate.<br />
H) FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES<br />
Where purchases are not collected within three (3)<br />
days from the Sale date, whether or not payment has<br />
been made, the Company shall be permitted to:<br />
i) remove, store and further insure the Lot at the<br />
expense of the Buyer, releasing only after full<br />
payment has been received from the Buyer for<br />
incurred costs;<br />
ii)<br />
iii)<br />
re-sell the Lot without Reserve by Auction,<br />
private treaty or any other means whereby the<br />
Buyer agrees not to challenge the resale price<br />
achieved.<br />
rescind the Sale of that Lot or any other Lot sold<br />
by the Seller to the Buyer at the same or any<br />
other Auction.<br />
If Gibson's do re-sell the property under clauses H<br />
and G, the defaulting Buyer agrees to be liable for<br />
all payments of any deficiency between the total<br />
amount originally due and the price obtained, as well<br />
as the legal as all costs, expenses, damages, legal<br />
fees, commissions and premiums of whatever kinds<br />
associated with both Sales or otherwise arising from<br />
the default.<br />
6. Extent of Gibson's Liability<br />
Gibson's agrees to refund the purchase price in the<br />
circumstances of the Limited Warranty set out in<br />
paragraph 7. Apart from that, neither the Seller nor<br />
the Company, nor any of the Company’s employees<br />
or agents are responsible for the correctness of<br />
any statement of whatever kind concerning any Lot,<br />
whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or<br />
omissions in description or for any faults or defects<br />
in any Lots. Except as stated in paragraph 7 below,<br />
neither the Seller, the Company, its officers, agents<br />
or employees give any representation warranty
100<br />
or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in<br />
respect of any Lot with regard to merchantability,<br />
fitness for a particular purpose, description, size,<br />
quality, condition, attribution, authenticity, rarity,<br />
importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history,<br />
literature or historical relevance. Except as required<br />
by local law any warranty of any kind is excluded by<br />
this paragraph.<br />
7. Limited Warranty<br />
Subject to the terms and conditions of this<br />
paragraph, the warrants for the period of fourteen<br />
(14) days from the date of the Sale that any property<br />
described in this catalogue (noting such description<br />
may be amended by any Saleroom notice or<br />
announcement) which is stated without qualification<br />
to be the work of a named author or authorship is<br />
authentic and not a forgery. The term “Author” or<br />
“Authorship” refers to the creator of the property or<br />
to the period, culture, source, or origin as the case<br />
may be, with which the creation of such property is<br />
identified in the catalogue.<br />
The warranty is subject to the following:<br />
i) it does not apply where a) the catalogue<br />
description or Saleroom notice corresponded<br />
to the generally accepted opinion of scholars<br />
and experts at the date of the Sale or fairly<br />
indicated that there was a conflict of opinions,<br />
or b) correct identification of a Lot can be<br />
demonstrated only by means of a scientific<br />
process not generally accepted for use until<br />
after publication of the catalogue or a process<br />
which at the date of the publication of the<br />
catalogue was unreasonably expensive or<br />
impractical or likely to have caused damage to<br />
the property.<br />
ii)<br />
iii)<br />
iv)<br />
the benefits of the warranty are not assignable<br />
and shall apply only to the original Buyer of the<br />
Lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by<br />
Gibson's when the Lot was sold at Auction.<br />
the original Buyer must have remained the owner<br />
of the Lot without disposing of any interest in it<br />
to any third party<br />
The Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against<br />
the Seller in place of any other remedy which<br />
might be available, is the cancellation of the<br />
Sale and the refund of the original purchase<br />
price paid for the Lot less the Buyer's Premium<br />
which is non-refundable. Neither the Seller nor<br />
Gibson's will be liable for any special, incidental<br />
nor consequential damages including, without<br />
limitation, loss of profits not for interest.<br />
v) The Buyer must give written notice of claim<br />
to us within fourteen (14) days of the date of<br />
the Auction. The Seller shall have the right, to<br />
require the Buyer to obtain two written opinions<br />
by recognised experts in the field, mutually<br />
acceptable to the Buyer and Gibson's to decide<br />
whether to cancel the Sale under warranty.<br />
vi)<br />
the Buyer must return the Lot to Seller in the<br />
same condition that it was purchased.<br />
8. Severability<br />
If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any<br />
court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part<br />
shall be discounted and the rest of the Conditions<br />
shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent<br />
permitted by law.<br />
9. Copyright<br />
The copyright of all images, illustrations and written<br />
material produced by Gibson's relating to a Lot<br />
including the contents of this catalogue, is and shall<br />
remain the property at all times of Gibson's and<br />
shall not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else<br />
without our prior written consent. Gibson's and the<br />
Seller make no representation or warranty that the<br />
Buyer of a property will acquire any copyright or other<br />
reproduction rights in it.<br />
10. Law and Jurisdiction<br />
These terms and conditions and any matters<br />
concerned with the foregoing fall within the exclusive<br />
jurisdiction of the courts of the state in which the<br />
Auction is held.<br />
11. Pre-Sale Estimates<br />
Gibson's publishes with each catalogue our opinion<br />
as to the estimated price range for each Lot. These<br />
estimates are approximate prices only and are not<br />
intended to be definitive. They are prepared well in<br />
advance of the Sale and may be subject to revision.<br />
Interested parties should contact Gibson's prior to<br />
Auction for updated pre-Sale estimates and starting<br />
prices.<br />
12. Sale results<br />
After the Sale, Gibson's may publish (both verbally<br />
and in writing) the results of Sale at our discretion,<br />
including the prices achieved for specific Lots.<br />
Unless otherwise discussed with the Buyer, details of<br />
individual Buyers will remain confidential.<br />
13. Goods and Service Tax<br />
In accordance with A New Tax System (Goods and<br />
Services Tax) Act 1999, Gibson's Auctions will collect<br />
on behalf of the Australian Tax Office (ATO) a Goods<br />
and Service Tax (GST) of 10% on all applicable<br />
transactions.<br />
GST is applicable on the Hammer Price in the case<br />
where the Seller is selling property that is owned by<br />
an entity registered for GST. GST is also applicable<br />
on the Hammer Price in the case where the Seller is<br />
not an Australian resident. These Lots are denoted by<br />
a dagger symbol (†) placed next to the estimate.<br />
GST is also applicable on the Buyer's Premium.<br />
Overseas Buyers and non-resident Buyers in Australia<br />
will not be charged GST on both Hammer Price and<br />
Premiums under the following conditions:<br />
1. The items are exported through a Gibson's<br />
approved freight company including Australia<br />
Post<br />
2. The items are exported within 60 days of the<br />
date of the Sale<br />
The invoice supplied by Gibson's for purchases will be<br />
regarded as a Tax invoice for GST purposes.<br />
14. Resale Royalty Scheme<br />
Under the legal obligations of the Resale Royalty<br />
Scheme for Visual Artists Act 2009, Sellers must<br />
provide the following information to comply with<br />
the act:<br />
• was the artwork acquired after 8 June 2010?<br />
• is the Sale/Reserve price (including GST) $1,000<br />
or more?<br />
• is the artist from Australia or a country listed in<br />
the Regulations to the Act?<br />
• is the artist alive, or deceased less than 70 years?<br />
The Seller:<br />
i) acknowledges that he or she understands his or<br />
her legal obligations under the Resale Royalty for<br />
Visual Artists Act 2009 (the Act);<br />
ii)<br />
iii)<br />
iv)<br />
undertakes to comply with all requirements of<br />
the Act, including by providing its agent, the<br />
company, with accurate information sufficient for<br />
compliance with sections 28 and 29 of the Act;<br />
undertakes to indemnify the Company for any<br />
loss incurred by the Company as a result of<br />
the Vendor’s failure to comply with any of the<br />
Vendor’s legal obligations under the Act; and<br />
acknowledges that if he or she fails to comply<br />
with any of his or her legal obligations under<br />
the Act, the company may provide the vendor’s<br />
name and contact details to Copyright Agency<br />
Limited (CAL).<br />
Lots subject to payment of the Resale Royalty<br />
Scheme will be denoted by the symbol §. The<br />
Australian Resale Royalty is a flat rate of 5% on the<br />
Hammer Price (including GST). The Australian Resale<br />
Royalty is payable by the Seller in addition to the<br />
Buyer's Premium plus any applicable GST.<br />
15. Jewels & Watches<br />
GEMSTONES<br />
Gemstones have historically been subjected to a<br />
variety of treatments to enhance their appearance.<br />
Sapphire and rubies are routinely heat treated to<br />
improve their colour and clarity, similarly emeralds<br />
are frequently treated with oils or resin for the same<br />
purpose. Other treatments such as staining or dyeing,<br />
irradiation, filling or coating may have been used<br />
on other precious and semi-precious gemstones<br />
and organic material. These treatments may be<br />
permanent, whilst others may need special care to<br />
reserve their appearance. Buyers should assume that<br />
each Lot has been subject to some form of treatment<br />
and that the estimates reflect this.<br />
A number of laboratories issue certificates that give<br />
detailed descriptions of gemstones, and in the event<br />
that Gibson's has been supplied with or obtained<br />
certificates for any Lot, this shall be noted in the<br />
catalogue. However, as there may not be consensus<br />
between different laboratories on the degree, or<br />
types of treatment of the gemstones, Gibson's<br />
supplies these without warranty.<br />
Buyers should assume that all gemstones sold<br />
by Gibson's may have been subjected to such<br />
treatments, and that the catalogue estimates reflect<br />
this.<br />
PEARLS<br />
Pearls, like gemstones, are also subject to various<br />
treatments. Buyers should assume that any pearls<br />
sold by Gibson's may have been subjected to such<br />
treatments, and that the catalogue estimates reflect<br />
this.<br />
WATCHES<br />
Please note: All watches sold by Gibson's are sold on<br />
an “as is” basis. Gibson's makes no representation<br />
or warranty that any watch is in working order. Many<br />
watches have been repaired over their lifetime and<br />
may contain non-original parts. The absence of any<br />
reference to the condition of a watch does not imply<br />
that the Lot is in good condition and without defects,<br />
repairs or restorations. Buyers should be aware that<br />
a general service, change of battery or further repair<br />
work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible for,<br />
may be necessary.<br />
ESTIMATED WEIGHTS<br />
If a stone has a known weight, it has been weighed<br />
out of the mount. If a stone has an estimated weight,<br />
it is an approximate weight only and has been<br />
measured by us in the mount and is a statement of<br />
opinion only. The information is given as a guide only<br />
and Buyers should satisfy themselves with regard to<br />
this information as to its accuracy.
