provenance and quantity. 

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

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. 

Some lots may be sold without reserve.

Condition Reports are available on request. Condition 

Reports supplement the lot description and provide 

information on the condition of an item. 

We strongly advise obtaining a condition report if you are 

unable to view an item in person prior to the auction. 

To request a condition report please email

reserve, or the current highest bid. In the case of multiple 

bids occurring within the last five minutes of the close of lot, 

the closing time is extended for a further five minutes. For 

more information, refer to the Timed Online Auctions page

Clocks, scientific instruments and 

magnificent machines: the collecting 

passions of the late Robert Cook. 

Lots 1–124 

Born in the mid-1940s, Robert Cook was 

the grandson of Robert (Bob) Henry Cook, 

a licensed steam engine driver who owned 

and operated his own businesses including 

sawmills and transport ventures in the 

Victorian Western District. Robert’s own 

father successfully operated a foundry in 

Hamilton until he retired in the 1980s. The 

foundry supplied Melbourne companies 

with many intricate hand-poured objects 

including fittings and fixtures for gas 

heaters. 

Born into a family of resourceful, hard 

workers, Robert had a curious outlook 

regarding the world around him. He 

developed a keen interest in clocks at eight 

years of age and wanted to know how they 

worked and kept accurate time. It was not 

long before he had a room full of clocks, 

taking delight in fixing them, and ensuring 

they all ran and chimed at the same time. 

This early interest expanded into a lifetime 

of inquiry of all things he found interesting. 

Robert travelled extensively in Australia and 

overseas including England, North America 

and Europe: exploring fossil digs in Alaska 

and Wyoming, and visiting English museums, 

particularly those housing some of the 

world’s oldest clocks and steam engines. 

Robert explored his own creative talents 

over many years, making intricately sculpted 

kaleidoscopes, examples of which have been 

purchased by overseas museums in Japan 

and the U.S. Over his lifetime Robert’s love 

and interest in timepieces continued. His 

travels enabled him to amass a collection 

representing some of the finest examples 

crafted over the last three hundred years. 

His collection includes English longcases, 

intricate French skeleton models, Dutch 

wall mounted clocks and German regulators 

as well as his own Tower Clock, personally 

made with his life partner. 

Gibson’s is pleased to present the Robert 

Cook collection, representing a personal 

selection of his eclectic lifetime interests.

Continued from previous page 

The yacht Wanderer was owned by the illustrious early 

settler Ben Boyd (1801-1851), a Scottish entrepreneur 

born of wealth and eager to make a mark in the world— 

but ultimately, both owner and yacht would encounter 

unfortunate fates. Boyd set forth to Australia with artist 

Oswald Brierly aboard the Wanderer in 1841-2. Boyd was 

eager to create an expansive empire and acquired vast 

plots of land and holdings in NSW within a year (he floated 

the National Bank of Australia for a time). To sustain such 

growth, Boyd outsourced cheap labour in the form of 

“blackbirding” South Pacific Islander men and women. 

It was unpopular and unsanctioned by the Legislative 

Council in NSW, who responded by amending the Masters 

and Servants Act (1847). The new legislation effectively 

nullified all of Boyd’s “blackbird” contracts, prompting 

a mass-exodus of the now-refugees who proceeded on 

foot to Sydney to barter a way home. The press followed 

the procession, preying on the popular misnomer of the 

time by depicting ghoulish illustrations of Boyd being 

cannibalised in retribution by the released Islanders. 1 

It was a public disaster for Boyd, and his empire began to 

unravel. Facing financial difficulties, Boyd set sail on the 

Wanderer for San Francisco in search of gold. When this 

venture failed, he attempted to unite the South Pacific 

Islands, canvassing various islands to form a republic. In 

1851, while anchored in a small bay on the west coast of the 

Isle Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands, Boyd and a crew 

member went ashore and never returned. With tensions 

raised, a skirmish broke out between the Wanderer crew 

and the locals, who had gradually approached the vessel 

in canoes. Each side claimed the other had initiated the 

violence. While the crew and yacht survived enough to 

escape, neither Ben Boyd nor his shipmate were recovered 

despite multiple offensive raids by the ship's crew. 

With her commander presumed dead, the Wanderer's 

crew faced the daunting task of returning to Sydney 

Harbour. After battling strong gales and troublesome 

weather, the crew was forced to make an emergency 

anchorage at Port Macquarie. The Wanderer sustained a 

battering. Her mainmast and foremast were both sprung 

above the deck, as was the jib boom. 2 Despite the crew's 

efforts to navigate out of the shallows, the hull struck 

ground and was stranded. The Wanderer had reached her 

final resting place. A reconnaissance party led by Captain 

Truscott returned to Guadalcanal Island in 1854 to recover 

Ben Boyd or any remains. ‘It is believed that the skull of 

Mr. Boyd has been brought to Sydney by the Oberon - the 

testimonial of a fate which, if the narrative by which it is 

accompanied be correct, is as singular and romantic as it 

is distressing and deplorable.’ 3

R NORMAN ANDERSON 

(CIRCA LATE 18TH/EARLY 19TH CENTURY) 

Sailor in the Marble Bar, George Adams' 

Tattersall's Hotel 1906 

oil on canvas 

signed and dated lower right: 

R NORMAN ANDERSON 1906 

116.5 x 74.5cm 

CATALOGUE NOTE 

Despite the inscribed artist R Norman Anderson being 

shrouded in obscurity, his painting (Lot 192) remains a 

significant historical vestige of Sydney's Tattersalls Hotel 

Marble Bar in the early 1900s. 

George Adams built The Marble Bar in 1893. Its audacious 

interior rivalled any Grand Hotel bar in Paris or London. 

The bar, which reportedly cost £30,000, boasted 

elaborate features, including namesake marble panels, 

an immense stained glass ceiling, intricate mosaic tiling, 

decadently hand-carved mahogany cabinetry, and several 

large panels painted by renowned artist Julian Ashton. 

The Marble Bar was dutifully salvaged when George 

Adams' Tattersalls Hotel was demolished in the 1970s. 

The Hilton Hotel undertook a meticulous dismantling 

and restoration of the interior, preserving its grandeur for 

future generations. Anderson's highly detailed interior 

scene captures the Marble Bar's vibrant and lively 

atmosphere of the 1900s. A pair of sailors indulged in a 

leave of absence from HMAS, most likely wagering in a 

sweepstake or 'ticket in Tatts'. Their jovial and glassy-eyed 

expressions evoke a sense of revelry in the smoky mise en 

scène of barroom banter and high jinks.

Grafton Artist Photographer 

18.5 x 13.5cm 

$1,000–2,000 

John William Lindt (1845-1926) 

Born in Frankfurt-on-Main, 

Germany, John William Lindt, son 

of a customs officer, received a 

thorough education with a promising 

and illustrious future ahead of him. 

His appetite for adventure drifted 

away from a traditional scholarly 

course. At seventeen, he ran away 

from home on board a Danish 

vessel en route to Australia. The 

voyage passed through the islands 

of New Guinea. Witnessing the 

native habitants of the islands was a 

formative experience for the young 

photographer, igniting a lifetime 

interest in anthropology. Lindt 

jumped ship at the Brisbane port and 

ventured into the outback, where he 

made a decent living in tuning and 

repairing pianos for Queensland 

homesteads. 

Restless and eager to explore, Lindt 

travelled further south, landing in 

Grafton, New South Wales. He took 

an assistant role under the local 

photographer Wagner where he 

eventually bought the studio outright 

in 1968. Lindt made the acquaintance 

of the Italian naturalist and explorer 

Signor D'Albertis, who happened to 

be convalescing in the area around 

1873. This friendship reinforced the 

photographer's anthropological 

aptitude. The photographs produced 

during this time are some of the most 

captivating images of the artist's 

oeuvre. 

The locality allowed Lindt to observe 

the customs and traditions of 

the Indigenous people from the 

Bundjalung, Gumbaynggirr and Yaegl 

nations, one of the few accessible 

and relatively unaltered communities 

in the region. The portraits made 

here of the traditional owners were 

engineered with Lindt's germanic 

thoughtfulness for aesthetic 

composition while simultaneously 

attempting to document cultural 

artefacts particular to each sitter. 

He staged the portraits in the studio, 

influenced by the nature of the Wet 

Collodion process. This laboursome 

process required the glass plates to 

be exposed and developed before 

the surface dried and was not readily 

portable. 

Lindt's photographs captured the 

volatile landscape and culture 

of colonial Australia, carrying 

an immeasurable value in the 

documentation of this period. His 

works are universally esteemed 

and enrich museum and gallery 

collections worldwide.

intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age,

Accordingly, no Lot shall be capable of being a

Bid accepted by the Auctioneer in relation to a Lot.

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.

111 

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.

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/

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;

such terms as the Company sees fit;

proceeds payable in respect of the amount Bid 

by the defaulting Buyer. In these circumstances

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:

expense of the Buyer, releasing only after full 

payment has been received from the Buyer for 

incurred costs; 

ii) 

iii)

private treaty or any other means whereby the 

Buyer agrees not to challenge the resale price 

achieved.

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

112 

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. 

GST is applicable on the Hammer Price in the case 

where the Seller is selling property that is owned by 

an entity registered for GST. GST is also applicable 

on the Hammer Price in the case where the Seller is 

not an Australian resident. These Lots are denoted 

by a dagger symbol (†) placed next to the estimate. 

GST is also applicable on the Buyer's Premium. 

Overseas Buyers and non-resident Buyers in 

Australia will not be charged GST on both Hammer 

Price and Premiums under the following conditions: 

1. The items are exported through a Gibson's 

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 for purchases will 

be regarded as a Tax invoice for GST purposes. 

14. Resale Royalty Scheme 

Under the legal obligations of the Resale Royalty 

Scheme for Visual Artists Act 2009, Sellers must 

provide the following information to comply with 

the act: 

• was the artwork acquired after 8 June 2010? 

• is the Sale/Reserve price (including GST) 

$1,000 or more? 

• is the artist from Australia or a country listed in 

the Regulations to the Act? 

• is the artist alive, or deceased less than 70 years? 

The Seller: 

i) acknowledges that he or she understands his or 

her legal obligations under the Resale Royalty 

for Visual Artists Act 2009 (the Act); 

ii) 

iii) 

iv) 

undertakes to comply with all requirements of 

the Act, including by providing its agent, the 

company, with accurate information sufficient 

for compliance with sections 28 and 29 of the 

Act; 

undertakes to indemnify the Company for any 

loss incurred by the Company as a result of 

the Vendor’s failure to comply with any of the 

Vendor’s legal obligations under the Act; and 

acknowledges that if he or she fails to comply 

with any of his or her legal obligations under 

the Act, the company may provide the vendor’s 

name and contact details to Copyright Agency 

Limited (CAL). 

Lots subject to payment of the Resale Royalty 

Scheme will be denoted by the §. The Australian 

Resale Royalty is a flat rate of 5% on the hammer 

price (including GST). The Australian Resale 

Royalty is payable by the Seller in addition to 

Vendor Commission plus any applicable GST and 

government charges. 

15. Jewels, Watches & Gold 

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. 

GOLD 

Gold is sold in good faith that its purity is as 

marked or hallmarked on the object. Should an 

item have a gold content of 10% less than the 

catalogued amount, Gibson’s will refund as per our 

Terms and Conditions.
