All you need to know about the bidding process at auction 

Viewing 

Catalogues 

Online catalogues can be viewed at 

www.gibsonsauctions.com.au approximately three weeks 

prior to the auction date. 

Complimentary printed catalogues are available 

at Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers. 

Symbols 

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

indicating a special clause associated with the sale of 

the item/s. Further information on symbols within our 

catalogues can be found on Page 1. 

Viewing 

Auction viewings are open to the public and usually take 

place three or four days prior to the auction date, at the 

location/s listed in the auction catalogue and on the website. 

Lot Descriptions 

Lot Descriptions provide basic catalogue information 

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

provenance and quantity. 

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

auction date. 

Estimates 

Estimates are printed in the catalogue beside every lot and 

take into account rarity, condition, quality and provenance. 

The reserve is the amount at which the item is available 

for purchase. The reserve is an undisclosed confidential 

amount which is set at, or below the low estimate. 

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

Auctioneers & Valuers. Many lots are sold without reserve.

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.

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 Kenneth & Gloria Ely Collection 

Born in 1926 Ken Ely epitomises the term ‘a 

self-made man'. Raised an orphan he was a 

farm worker at the age of 12 until he secured 

a position as a stable hand with Bradfields 

in Flemington. He moved to Steve Murphy 

stables in Werribee and was an apprentice 

jockey by the age of fifteen. In Australia 

horse racing continued during the war years 

amidst some controversy however Ken chose 

to join the armed forces working in logistics 

and stores for the air force. At the end of 

the war, he resumed his career as a jockey 

travelling to India and Ceylon. The Colombo 

racecourse was converted to an airfield 

during WWII. Following the end of the war the 

airfield was dismantled and the racecourse 

was reconverted back to a horse racing track, 

where Ken won the first race to be run there 

after the war on a horse named Aban. While 

in India he met and married his beloved Gloria 

with whom he spent 73 happy years. 

In 1951 a serious fall form a horse in Karachi 

ended his racing career and he returned to 

Australia to start a new life with Gloria. His 

family and children took centre stage as he 

rose through the corporate ranks, finally 

becoming head of the successful Dimplex 

Australia. In the early 1970s Ken discovered his 

first collecting passion, satin glass and fairy 

lights after attending his first auction. 

In the 1980s he began collecting Royal 

Worcester porcelain focussing his energies 

on porcelain plaques by Worcester’s most 

famous and well-loved artists including 

Harry and John Stinton, Harry Davis and 

George Mosley. The 1990s saw Ken and Gloria 

concentrate on French glass and the beautiful 

pâte de verre glass night lights and lamps of 

Gabriel Argy-Rousseau and Amalric Walter. 

Now aged 97 Ken has decided to pass 

his collection on to a whole new group of 

collectors just as passionate about his love of 

French glass and the famous Royal Worcester 

painters of the late 19th and early 20th 

century. It is with great pleasure that we offer 

The Ken and Gloria Ely Collection and we trust 

that you will gain as much enjoyment from it as 

Ken and Gloria have.

“Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation 

originally conceived and executed with fraudulent 

intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, 

period, culture, provenance or source where the

Accordingly, no Lot shall be capable of being a

of any kind (including re-painting). 

“Hammer Price” means the amount of the highest 

Bid accepted by the Auctioneer in relation to a Lot. 

“Insured Value” means the amount that Gibson's

2. Gibson’s Auctioneers 

& Valuers as Agent 

Except as otherwise stated Gibson's 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 

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 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 of any kind. References in the catalogue 

entry to the condition report, including 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 its value for any other purpose. 

Neither Gibson's nor the Seller is responsible for 

any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any 

supplemental material. 

Images are measured height by width. 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. 

All transactions are in Australian Dollars so there 

may be a small exchange rate risk, for international 

Buyers. The costs associated with acquiring a goods 

certificate will be borne by the Buyer. If the item 

turns out to be a Forgery or otherwise incorrectly 

described, all reasonable costs will be borne by 

the Seller. 

C) BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY 

All property is sold “as is” without representation 

or warranty of any kind by Gibson's 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 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 new Prospective Buyer must complete and 

sign a registration form and provide photographic 

identification before Bidding. Gibson's 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 

Buyer's Premium and all applicable taxes, plus 

all other applicable charges, unless it has been 

explicitly agreed in writing with Gibson's before 

the commencement of the Sale that the Bidder is 

acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party 

acceptable to Gibson's and that Gibson's will only 

look to the principal for payment. 

D) INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATIONS 

All international clients not known to Gibson's 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 account 

at least 48 hours before the commencement of 

the Auction. Bids will not be accepted without 

this deposit. Gibson's 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 cannot be 

charged to this card without prior arrangement. This 

deposit is redeemable against any Auction purchase. 

E) ABSENTEE BIDS 

Gibson's will use reasonable efforts to execute 

written Bids delivered to us at least 24 hours prior 

to the Sale for the convenience of those clients 

who are unable to attend the Auction in person. 

If Gibson's receives 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 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 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 cannot be held responsible for any 

miscommunications 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 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 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 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.

193 

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) AUCTIONEER'S 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 re-offer and resell the item in dispute. 

In the event of a dispute, or the Auctioneer or the 

Company is of the opinion that there has been a 

misunderstanding or mistake regarding a Sale or a 

Lot the subject of a Sale, the Auctioneer may rescind 

the Sale and put any Lot up for a Second Auction. If 

a Sale is rescinded, the Company may put the Lot up 

at a second Auction, offer the Lot for sale by private 

treaty or withdraw the Lot from sale entirely. 

J) SUCCESSFUL BID AND PASSING OF RISK 

Subject to the Auctioneer’s discretion, on the 

acceptance of a Bid by the fall of the Auctioneer's 

hammer, a contract of sale is made between the 

Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the 

Lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes 

immediately to the Buyer. Gibson's shall not be liable 

for any breach of contract by either the Seller or 

the Buyer. 

K) INDICATIVE BIDDING STEPS, ETC. 

Gibson's reserves the right to refuse any Bid, 

withdraw any Lot from Sale, to place a Reserve on 

any Lot and to advance the Bidding according to 

the following: 

Increment Amount 

Dollar Range 

$20 $0–$500

up to the nearest acceptable Bid.

amounts due to us have been received in full in good 

cleared funds. Subject to this, the Buyer shall collect 

purchased Lots within three (3) days from the date of

At the fall of the hammer, insurance is the 

responsibility of the purchaser.

At the request of the Buyer, Gibson's may assist with 

packing of goods but takes no responsibility for loss, 

damage or breakage that may occur. Gibson's at 

the request of the Buyer may arrange for a carrier, 

packer or shipper to have the property packed, 

insured and shipped at the Buyer’s expense. All 

packing, shipping, insurance, postage & associated 

charges will be borne by the purchaser. Gibson's can 

assist with removal companies that the Buyer can 

use but takes no responsibility whatsoever for the 

actions of any recommended third party. 

F) CULTURAL HERITAGE EXPORT LICENCES 

Unless otherwise agreed by Gibson's in writing, the 

fact that the Buyer wishes to apply for an export 

licence does not affect their obligation to make full 

payment immediately, nor Gibson's right to charge 

interest or storage charges on late payment. It is 

the responsibility of the Buyer to check Australia’s 

Protection of Moveable Cultural Heritage Act 

1986 prior to purchase. Export/import licences 

applications are the responsibility of the Buyer and/ 

or the Buyer's nominated shipper. Gibson's shall 

not be obliged to rescind a Sale nor to refund any 

expenses incurred by the Buyer in circumstances 

where an export licence is not granted. 

G) REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT 

If the Buyer fails to make full payment immediately, 

Gibson's is entitled to exercise one or more of the 

following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting 

any other rights or remedies available under the law) 

i) to charge interest at the ANZ visa credit card 

rate as published weekly in the Australian 

Financial Review; 

ii) 

iii) 

iv) 

to hold the defaulting Buyer liable for the 

total amount due and to commence legal 

proceedings for its 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 the Company sees 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 in the event that the Lot(s) are sold for 

an amount greater than the original invoiced 

amount; 

vi) 

to offset against any amounts which 

Gibson's may owe the Buyer across any other 

transactions; 

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 the Company; 

x) to take such other action as the Company 

deems necessary or appropriate. 

H) FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES 

Where purchases are not collected within three (3) 

days from the Sale date, whether or not payment has 

been made, the Company shall be permitted to: 

i) remove, store and further insure the Lot at the 

expense of the Buyer, releasing only after full 

payment has been received from the Buyer for 

incurred costs; 

ii) 

iii) 

re-sell the Lot without Reserve by Auction, 

private treaty or any other means whereby the 

Buyer agrees not to challenge the resale price 

achieved. 

rescind the Sale of that Lot or any other Lot sold 

by the Seller to the Buyer at the same or any 

other Auction. 

If Gibson's do re-sell the property under clauses H 

and G, the defaulting Buyer agrees to be liable for 

all payments of any deficiency between the total 

amount originally due and the price obtained, as well 

as the legal as all costs, expenses, damages, legal 

fees, commissions and premiums of whatever kinds 

associated with both Sales or otherwise arising from 

the default. 

6. Extent of Gibson's Liability 

Gibson's agrees to refund the purchase price in the 

circumstances of the Limited Warranty set out in 

paragraph 7. Apart from that, neither the Seller nor 

the Company, nor any of the Company’s 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, the Company, its officers, agents 

or employees give any representation warranty 

or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in

194 

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 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) 

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 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 Buyer's Premium 

which is non-refundable. Neither the Seller nor 

Gibson's 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 to decide 

whether 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 relating to a Lot 

including the contents of this catalogue, is and shall 

remain the property at all times of Gibson's and shall 

not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else without 

our prior written consent. Gibson's 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 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 prior to 

Auction for updated pre-Sale estimates and starting 

prices. 

12. Sale results 

After the Sale, Gibson's may publish (both verbally 

and in writing) the results of Sale at our discretion, 

including the prices achieved for specific Lots. 

Unless otherwise discussed with the Buyer, details of 

individual Buyers will remain confidential. 

13. Goods and Service Tax 

In accordance with A New Tax System (Goods 

and Services Tax) Act 1999, Gibson's Auctions will 

collect on behalf of the Australian Tax Office (ATO) a 

Goods and Service Tax (GST) of 10% on all applicable 

transactions.

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 reserve 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 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 

supplies these without warranty. 

Buyers should assume that all gemstones sold 

by Gibson's 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 may have been subjected to such 

treatments, and that the catalogue estimates 

reflect this. 

WATCHES 

Please note: All watches sold by Gibson's are sold on 

an “as is” basis. Gibson's 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.
