How to Buy
All you need to know about the bidding process at auction
Viewing
Catalogues
Online catalogues can be viewed via our website
approximately two weeks prior to the auction date.
Complimentary printed catalogues are available on site at
Gibson’s rooms.
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.
Some lots may be sold without reserve.
Talk to our Specialists
Gibson’s is an experienced team of specialists who are
available to discuss items in further detail, and to offer
advice and assistance.
Contact details for relevant specialists can be found on the
inside front cover our auction catalogues and on our website.
Condition Reports
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
condition.reports@gibsonsauctions.com.au with the
auction title and lot number/s.

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

place three or four days prior to the auction date, at the
location/s listed in the auction catalogue and on the website.
Bidding

Telephone, absentee and first time online registrations
should be organised at least 24 hours prior to the auction
to allow for processing and to avoid disappointment.

bidding in the room. Arrive in advance with time to register
for a bidding number. Auctions are open to the public, with
no obligation for the attendees to bid. First time bidders will
be required to show photographic identification, such as a

your lot and, with your instruction, bid on your behalf at the
auction. Telephone Bidding is a complimentary service.

the earliest bid is given precedence. Absentee Bidding is a
complimentary service. Absentee Bids must be organised at
least 24 hours prior to the auction to allow for processing.

runs for a specified window of time. During that time, users
may leave bids on a lot. Unlike live auctions, timed online
auctions occur without an auctioneer.

website and are executed immediately against the lot’s
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
on our website, or contact our office for more information."

clear photo ID verifying your address and a deposit (set
at Gibson’s discretion) prior to the auction. The deposit is

Jan Grant: A Legacy of
Philanthropy and Connection
Jan Grant's life was defined by philanthropy—
driven by compassion, connection, and a
deep commitment to fostering community
engagement. As the longtime owner of the famed
Malmsbury Bakery, she was a vocal advocate for
local issues, often sparking meaningful debate
within the township.
A passionate music lover and dedicated
supporter of young talent, Jan made a lasting
impact on the world of music through her
involvement with the Australian National
Academy of Music (ANAM). In 2011, she
approached ANAM with the idea of building
a network of donors to contribute to the
living allowances that support musicians. The
concept was inspired by a childhood memory
of her father’s syndicate-funded thoroughbred
horses—where collective contributions made
great achievements possible. The long-term
success of the syndicate program enriched both
musicians and patrons, creating a deep sense
of shared purpose.
29
An essential part of Jan's contribution was
hosting recitals at Cygnet, her neoclassical
residence in Lauriston, rural Victoria. Inspired
by the grandeur of English stately homes,
Cygnet housed dedicated recital rooms of
perfect proportion. Intimacy was central to
Jan’s vision—she carefully curated paintings
and furniture to create a space that celebrated
both beauty and comfort. Many of the young
musicians who performed in Cygnet’s grand
reception rooms came from diverse backgrounds.
It was important to Jan that they felt not only
welcomed but uplifted in her sanctuary devoted
to musical excellence.
What began as a financial assistance program
soon evolved into a genuine community, fostering
deep connections between musicians and
benefactors. Known for her mischievous spirit and
straight-talking nature, Jan had an innate ability
to bring people together, breaking down social
barriers and forging lasting friendships beyond
the ANAM program. She once reflected:
“We formed friendships with musicians and
other donors, which have added so much to
all our lives. I am a very proud donor to this
program. As a senior person, I realise the value
of these young people who are dedicated to
creating something beautiful and to being as
excellent as they can. Watching musicians
grow personally and professionally at ANAM
is joyous. I follow their careers with pride.
They will always have a place at my table.”
Jan’s reverence for music and beauty lives
on—not only in the objects she collected but,
more importantly, in the enduring connections
she fostered. In recognition of her extraordinary
generosity, the Board of ANAM has named the
new musicians’ lounge in the renovated South
Melbourne Town Hall the Jan Grant Musicians’
Lounge—a space that will continue to support and
inspire generations of musicians to come.

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

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.

sign a registration form and provide photographic
identification before Bidding. Gibson's may

When making a Bid, a Bidder is accepting personal
liability to pay the purchase price including the

request any additional forms of identification prior
to registering an overseas Bid. This deposit can be
made using a credit card. 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

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.

registered at least 24 hours before the Auction of
any relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals or
any other Sale room notices.
G) ONLINE BIDDING

errors, failure to execute Bids or any other
miscommunications regarding this process. It is the

Unless otherwise indicated, all Lots are offered
subject to a Reserve, which is the confidential
minimum price below which the Lot will not be

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.

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

acceptance of a Bid by the fall of the Auctioneer's
hammer, a contract of sale is made between the

immediately to the Buyer. Gibson's shall not be liable
for any breach of contract by either the Seller or

such terms as the Company sees fit;

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

deems necessary or appropriate, including
charging the payment via the registered credit
card and retaining any deposits.

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,

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

whether to cancel the Sale under warranty.

the Buyer must return the Lot to Seller in the
same condition that it was purchased.

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.

material produced by Gibson's relating to a Lot

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.
