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.

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.

Bidding

Gibson’s offers four bidding options, listed below.

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.

Telephone and absentee registration forms can be found at

gibsonsauctions.com.au/buy/how-to-bid/

Live Bidding

Enjoy the excitement and theatre of a live auction by

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

driver’s licence or passport.

An experienced staff member will call you in advance of

your lot and, with your instruction, bid on your behalf at the

auction. Telephone Bidding is a complimentary service.

the auction.

Simply leave the highest amount you are willing to bid, and

Gibson’s will bid up incrementally up to this amount on your

the lowest possible hammer price. If the winning bid is tied,

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.

a Timed Online Auction. These are automated sales that

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

refundable within 48 hours should you not be successful.

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.

2. Gibson’s Auctioneers

& Valuers as Agent

Except as otherwise stated Gibson's acts as agent

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.

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

look to the principal for payment.

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. 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.

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.

such terms as the Company sees fit;

person holding security over any property in

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.

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

concerned with the foregoing fall within the exclusive

jurisdiction of the courts of the state in which the

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.
