THE

VIEW

Welcome to the second edition of The View

The second Welsh Sale catalogue and the second Selections catalogue of 2023.

It was a record year for the company in 2022 and a record year for the wider fine art market. Based on results so far this year, we may well eclipse last year’s record year. The forecast for the market is to remain resolute during these uncertain times, there has through the decades been a detachment between the market and the economy. It remains a good time to sell in many categories and a good time to invest.

It is a similar story for another monumental lot in this Welsh Sale, in that we regularly sell smaller works from the versatile John Petts (1914-1991), but his most famous work is on a much larger scale. The Wales Window for Alabama, 1964, stained-glass window installed at 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham Alabama is an icon for the civil rights movement. To our knowledge another stained glass by John Petts has not been offered at auction before. We are very excited to have such significant artwork in the sale.

This July Welsh Sale has again delivered exciting lots and the Welsh art section is especially strong. Special mention to the excellent entry of pictures by Sir Kyffin, including from the collection of the Late Roberta Condon who died in 2016. Roberta was the owner of The Kyffin Gallery in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, so named in honour of the great man. The pictures have been entered by Roberta’s family on the back of the auction records we have been achieving in the last two years.

I must also mention two monumental art pieces that have come from private sources for this Welsh Sale. We regularly sell works by Peter Prendergast (1946-2007) in The Welsh Sale, but it is rare that his huge landscape paintings appear on the market. But ironically, it is these massive works of tapestry form landscapes in oils that Peter Prendergast is best known for, with the most famous examples held at The National Museum of Wales (‘Blaenau Ffestiniog’, 1993) and at The Tate (‘Bethesda Quarry’, 1980-81).

My first written musings on the Welsh art market were for my A-Level Art & Design course many years ago. I wrote a potted history of the Welsh art market and of locations in north Wales which were repeatedly used as a subject matter by artists over the years. There were two artists who bookended my dissertation – Richard Wilson RA (1714-1782) and Sir Kyffin Williams. I could never have predicted that over thirty years later I would be cataloguing and auctioning works by these two artists. Wilson is regarded as the founding father of Welsh landscape painting, and I am thrilled to be able to offer an example. Continuing with the serendipity, I now live in mid-Wales just five minutes from Wilson’s rectory home in Penegoes. It is odd how things work out over the course of thirty years!

As always, the Selections auction follows hot on the heels of The Welsh Sale. Meaning that if you choose to bid in the room for The Welsh Sale, you can stick around for the next auction. This July Selections auction is high on quality with the cream of items that we have had consigned across the nation in the last three months. There is once again a strong section of gent’s watches, very good jewellery and the most intriguing of all is a collection of historical weightsit will be very interesting to see how those balance out.

I hope you enjoy this publication, and we hope to see you in the lead up to these two exciting auctions.

Best Wishes

Dewisiadau ar gyfer 2023.

Bu 2022 yn flwyddyn werth chweil i’r cwmni ac yn flwyddyn werth chweil i’r farchnad celfyddydau cain yn gyffredinol. Ar sail y canlyniadau hyd yn hyn eleni, efallai y byddwn yn rhagori ar y flwyddyn ardderchog a gawsom y llynedd. Mae’r rhagolygon ar gyfer y farchnad yn parhau i fod yn ddiysgog yn ystod y cyfnod ansicr sydd ohoni; mae yna ryw ddiffyg cysylltiad wedi bod erioed rhwng y farchnad a’r economi. Mae’n dal i fod yn amser da i werthu mewn nifer o gategorïau, ac yn amser da i fuddsoddi.

Unwaith eto, ceir lotiau cyffrous yn Arwerthiant Cymreig mis Gorffennaf ac mae adran y celfyddydau Cymreig yn eithriadol o gryf. Dylid sôn yn arbennig am y lluniau rhagorol gan Syr Kyffin, yn cynnwys rhai o blith casgliad y ddiweddar Roberta Condon a fu farw yn 2016. Roedd Roberta yn berchen ar The Kyffin Gallery yn Woodstock, Swydd Rydychen, a enwyd er anrhydedd y gŵr gwych. Mae teulu Roberta wedi penderfynu gwerthu’r lluniau ar sail y canlyniadau gwych a gafwyd yn ein harwerthiannau yn ystod y ddwy flynedd diwethaf.

Rhaid imi sôn hefyd am ddau waith celf eithriadol o bwysig sydd wedi deillio o ffynonellau preifat ac a gynhwysir yn yr Arwerthiant Cymreig. Rydym yn gwerthu gweithiau Peter Prendergast (1946-2007) yn rheolaidd yn yr Arwerthiant Cymreig, ond pur anaml y bydd ei luniau tirlun enfawr yn ymddangos ar y farchnad. Ond, yn eironig ddigon, caiff Peter Prendergast ei adnabod yn bennaf ar sail y gweithiau tapestri enfawr hyn, sef tirluniau mewn olew. Cedwir yr enghreifftiau enwocaf yn Amgueddfa Cymru (‘Blaenau Ffestiniog’, 1993) ac yn Amgueddfa Tate (‘Bethesda Quarry’, 1980-81).

Mae gan lot hollbwysig arall yn yr Arwerthiant Cymreig stori debyg, yn yr ystyr ein bod yn gwerthu gweithiau llai yr amryddawn John Petts (1914-1991) yn rheolaidd, ond bod ei waith enwocaf ar raddfa lawer mwy. Mae The Wales Window for Alabama, 1964 – sef ffenestr gwydr lliw a osodwyd yn Eglwys y Bedyddwyr yn 16th Street Birmingham, Alabama – yn eicon ar gyfer y mudiad hawliau sifil. Cyn belled ag y gwyddom, nid oes ffenestr gwydr lliw arall gan John Petts wedi’i chynnig mewn arwerthiant erioed o’r blaen. Rydym yn llawn cyffro o gael gwaith celf mor arwyddocaol yn yr arwerthiant.

Lluniais fy myfyrdodau cyntaf ynglŷn â marchnad gelf Cymru pan oeddwn yn astudio cwrs Safon Uwch mewn Celf a Dylunio sawl blwyddyn yn ôl bellach. Ysgrifennais grynodeb o hanes marchnad gelf Cymru a lleoliadau yng ngogledd Cymru a gâi eu defnyddio dro ar ôl tro gan artistiaid dros y blynyddoedd. Ar ddechrau a diwedd fy nhraethawd, soniais yn benodol am ddau artist – sef Richard Wilson RA (1714-1782) a Syr Kyffin Williams. Bychan a wyddwn ar y

pryd y buaswn, dros ddeg mlynedd ar hugain yn ddiweddarach, yn catalogio ac yn arwerthu gweithiau’r ddau artist hyn. Ystyrir mai Wilson a sefydlodd yr arfer o baentio tirluniau Cymreig, ac rwy’n llawn cyffro o gael cynnig enghraifft o’i waith yn yr arwerthiant. Gan barhau â’r serendipedd, rwy’n byw erbyn hyn yng nghanolbarth Cymru, rhyw bum munud oddi wrth reithordy Penegoes, sef cartref Wilson. Onid yw hi’n rhyfedd sut y mae pethau’n datblygu dros gyfnod o ddeng mlynedd ar hugain!

Fel bob amser, bydd yr Arwerthiant Dewisiadau yn dilyn yn dynn ar sodlau’r Arwerthiant Cymreig. Felly, os dewiswch wneud cynnig am eitem yn yr ystafell yn ystod yr Arwerthiant Cymreig, gallwch aros yno ar gyfer yr arwerthiant nesaf. Mae Arwerthiant Dewisiadau mis Gorffennaf yn llawn eitemau o’r radd flaenaf – y goreuon o blith yr eitemau a drosglwyddwyd i’n gofal o bob cwr o’r wlad yn ystod y tri mis diwethaf. Unwaith eto, ceir oriorau gwych i ddynion a gemwaith da iawn, ond yr eitemau mwyaf diddorol yw casgliad o bwysynnau hanesyddol. Gwaith diddorol iawn fydd pwyso a mesur gwerth y rhain.

Gobeithio y cewch flas ar y cyhoeddiad hwn. A gobeithio hefyd y cawn eich gweld cyn y ddau arwerthiant cyffrous hyn.

REVIEW

The Welsh Sale

1 April 2023

Lots: 421

Sold: 85%

Total: £349,810

The first Welsh Sale of 2023 carried on in the same vein as 2022 with competition for works of art and ceramics coming from far and wide.

There were thirty-four entries for Sir Kyffin Williams and only four of these failed to find new owners. And as witnessed in 2022, Kyffin’s prints and works on paper have most certainly undergone a market boost.

We currently hold the auction record at £18,000 for a work on paper by Kyffin. Lot 278 ‘Patagonian Andes’ in April became the runner-up at £12,000 – the second highest hammer-price for a Sir Kyffin Williams work on paper.

We already held the auction record for a Kyffin print as well, and in April it was beaten again. The KW print market is as buoyant as it ever has been.

While Kyffin prints and works on paper have seen a market rise in the last few years, there has also been a meteoric rise in prices for the works of Roger Cecil (1942-2015). Until recently, Cecil’s body of work has been largely under the radar, but it is now receiving recognition and collectors are battling for examples. Each of the examples in April’s Welsh Sale far exceeded the auction estimates. Other pictures that exceeded initial expectations in April’s Welsh Sale, included very collectable examples from Valerie Ganz and Claudia Williams.

Away from the picture section, a fine Swansea porcelain plate with a historic view of Calcutta by Thomas Baxter and from the collection of Sir Leslie Joseph, found a new home. As did a majestic Ewenny pottery cat, which saw one of those traditional projected biding battles between a saleroom bidder and telephone bidder. The telephone bidder winning by a whisker!

ADOLYGIAD Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig

1 Ebrill 2023

Lotiau: 421

Gwerthwyd: 85%

Cyfanswm: £349,810

Cynhaliwyd Arwerthiant Cymreig cyntaf 2023 yn yr un cywair â 2022 a bu pobl o bob cwr yn cystadlu am weithiau celf a serameg. Roedd yr arwerthiant yn cynnwys tri deg pedwar o weithiau gan Syr Kyffin Williams; dim ond pedwar ohonynt a fethodd â dod o hyd i berchnogion newydd. Yn yr un modd ag y gwelwyd yn 2022, mae’r farchnad ar gyfer printiau a gweithiau ar bapur gan Kyffin wedi bywiogi’n fawr, yn ddi-os.

Y record ar gyfer arwerthu gwaith a luniwyd ar bapur gan Kyffin yw £18,000 – a ni sy’n berchen ar y record honno. Ym mis Ebrill, daeth Lot 278, ‘Andes Patagonia’, yn ail yn y ras ar ôl llwyddo i werthu am £12,000 – y pris arwerthu drytaf ond un ar gyfer gwaith ar bapur gan Syr Kyffin Williams.

Roedd gennym ni record yr arwerthiant am brint Kyffin yn barod hefyd, ac ym mis Ebrill fe’i curwyd eto. Mae marchnad argraffu KW mor fywiog ag y bu erioed.

Er bod y farchnad ar gyfer printiau a gweithiau ar bapur gan Kyffin wedi cryfhau yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf, gwelir cynnydd eithriadol ym mhrisiau gwaith y diweddar Roger Cecil (1942-2015).

Tan yn ddiweddar, ni roddwyd ryw lawer o sylw i weithiau Cecil, ond bellach cânt eu cydnabod ac mae casglwyr yn ymlafnio i brynu enghreifftiau o’i weithiau. Llwyddodd pob un o’r enghreifftiau yn Arwerthiant Cymreig mis Ebill i fynd ymhell y tu hwnt i’r amcangyfrifon.

Mae darluniau eraill a ragorodd ar yr amcangyfrifon yn Arwerthiant Cymreig mis Ebrill yn cynnwys enghreifftiau hynod gasgladwy gan Valerie Ganz a Claudia Williams.

Gan droi ein golygon at adrannau eraill, llwyddodd plât porslen wedi’i addurno â golygfa hanesyddol o Calcutta gan Thomas Baxter, o gasgliad Syr Leslie Joseph, i ddod o hyd i gartref newydd.

A dyna hefyd fu hanes cath crochenwaith Ewenni –yn wir, cafwyd brwydr draddodiadol rhwng

darpar brynwr yn yr ystafell arwerthu a darpar brynwr ar y ffôn. Y prynwr ar y ffôn a enillodd o drwch blewyn!

REVIEW Selections

1 April 2023

Lots: 55 Sold: 87% Total: £82,750

The Selections auction in April was a terrier of a sale – small but powerful and determined. There were some very pleasant surprises for vendors especially the Pembrokeshire client who brought to us the 18th Century mourning ring with little expectation. The unusual ring featured a sinister skull appearing through rock-crystal. It was rare as well as being morbidly fascinating. It realised £4,200 which compares very well with similar rings which have appeared on the market.

Two other rings contributed nicely to the sale and pleased the vendors; an Art Deco cocktail ring took the highest price of the sale whilst doubling the pre-auction estimate. Then a three stone diamond ring also tripled expectations.

We were privileged to be offering a collection of David Hockney works in the April auction, the most sought after being a limited-edition etching ‘French Shop’ which said Au Revoir at £5,500

Other auctions so far in 2023

18TH

533, April 2023)

The Stag Hunt, with figures and quarry to the fore and in the mid distance, town with church steeples in the far distance sold for £4,000. The painting had been in the same family ownership since the 19th Century

By July 22nd we will have held thirty-five auctions including the regular Jewellery & Collectables auctions and Fine Art & Interiors auctions held in north and south Wales. As well as an Asian Art auction, The Club House auction, and a charity art auction for the Josef Herman Foundation. And then of course there was the auction for Sir Gareth Edwards, an historic recordbreaking affair.

ADOLYGIAD Dewisiadau 1 Ebrill 2023

Eitemau: 55

Gwerthwyd: 87%

Cyfanswm: £82,750

Cafwyd chwip o Arwerthiant Dewisiadau ym mis Ebrill – fel daeargi medd rhai - un byr, ond pwerus a phenderfynol. Cafodd ein gwerthwyr ambell syrpréis dymunol dros ben, yn enwedig cleient o Sir Benfro a gyflwynodd fodrwy alar o’r ddeunawfed ganrif i’w gwerthu, gan ddisgwyl fawr ddim amdani. Ar y fodrwy anarferol hon, deuai penglog sinistr i’r golwg trwy’r creigrisial. Yn ogystal â bod o ddiddordeb morbid, roedd hefyd yn brin. Gwerthodd am £4,200 – swm sy’n cymharu’n dda iawn â modrwyau tebyg a welwyd ar y farchnad.

Cyfrannodd dwy fodrwy arall yn daclus at yr arwerthiant, gan blesio’r gwerthwyr. Y fodrwy a werthodd am y pris uchaf oedd modrwy goctel

Art Deco, gan ddyblu’r amcangyfrif. Hefyd, llwyddodd modrwy ddiemwnt â thair carreg i gyrraedd pris a oedd deirgwaith yn fwy na’r disgwyliadau.

Braint oedd cael cynnig casgliad o weithiau David Hockney yn arwerthiant mis Ebrill. Y gwaith â’r galw mwyaf amdano o blith y gweithiau hyn oedd ysgythriad argraffiad cyfyngedig, ‘French Shop’, a ddywedodd Au Revoir ar ôl cyrraedd £5,500.

A BRITISH RAIL (WESTERN REGION) TOTEM SIGN FOR AFON WEN late 1950s / early 1960s, in regional colours of chocolate and cream livery, within black rim, 92.5 x 26cms

Provenance: deceased estate Criccieth, near Afon Wen in Gwynedd, north Wales

Auctioneer’s Note: Afon Wen station was opened in 1867 as part of the Cambrian Railway. Later, it formed a junction between the Aberystwith Welsh Coast Railway and the Carnarvonshire Railway. The totem is believed to have been installed in the late 1950s by Western Region and retained by LMR when they took the station over in 1963, shortly before the station was closed in 1964, as a result of the Beeching Axe. The station enjoyed its heyday in the post-war years, especially in the summer months, as it brought holiday-makers to the nearby Butlin Camp. The station was commemorated in a 1989 song by Welsh language folk-singer Bryn Fon, titled ‘Ar y Tren i Afonwen’ (on the train to Afonwen). There is currently a campaign to reinstate a railway line from Bangor to the disused Afon Wen station as part of a wider campaign for a much needed improvement to the rail service between north and south Wales

Provenance: with Phillips Auctioneers, ‘The Arts in Wales’, Tredegar House, 26th September 2001 (Lot 392)

Auctioneer’s Note: Rothwell was in the Swansea area in the 1780s, when he created a series of ten views in around the area to be produced in 1791 and 1792. None of the original drawings or paintings from that series are thought to have survived but there are two oil paintings attributed to Rothwell in the Swansea Museum Collection and which bear a strong resemblance to that being offered here and thus we believe that the painting to be by Rothwell

‡ JOHN PETTS important stained glass installation in two sections with bespoke aluminium stand - abstract, signed and dated 1963, 127 x 228cms (incl. inner frame)

Provenance: private collection since 2008, purchased from British Gas when located at Helmont House, Churchill Way, Cardiff Auctioneer’s Note: We have sold many works by the versatile John Petts over the years but most of those have been paintings or prints which are seen most regularly at auction rooms. However, perhaps ironically, John Petts’ most famous work is not a painting but is a stained glass installation from 1963. On 16th September 1963, a bomb exploded in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Planted by a splinter group of the Ku Klux Klan, it killed four young girls who were attending Sunday school – Cynthia Westley, Carol Robertson, Denise McMair and Addie-May Collins – and seriously injured many more. The nation was shocked and this incident became a catalyst for the Civil Rights Act a year later. John Petts was so moved that he launched a newspaper campaign to raise money to replace the stained glass windows of the church with a message, ‘From the people of Wales’ and an image of a Black Christ figure pushing away hatred and injustice. Black and white children queued up in Tiger Bay, Cardiff to donate their pocket money. The window still stands today as a living reminder of the horrors of the violence of Birmingham, Alabama, and the bonds of friendship that grew out of it.

To our knowledge another stained glass piece by John Petts has never been offered at auction and so we are absolutely thrilled to offer such an important piece which is of sensational quality and shares a similar style and colours to the famous Black Christ of Alabama. The glass was previously and for many years part of the fabric of the former Wales Gas headquarters building in South Wales known as Snelling House (before restructuring and relocating to Helmont House). Snelling House is a building which was inspired by the Cubist art movement and is now a hotel. The piece was created in the same year as Petts’ most famous glass installation for the Baptist Church in Alabama.

JOSEPH EDWARD SOUTHALL (1861-1944) INTEREST: the personal fountain pen of his wife, Anna Elizabeth Southall (nee Baker), being a Waterman 22 taper cap hard rubber eyedropper pen with Conway Stewart gold nib no. 5, with floral chased gilt bands, c.1900-15, within a silver Samuel Mordan & Co. pen case engraved, ‘A.E. Southall, 13 Charlotte Rd, Birmingham’, hallmarks for Chester 1909, case 15.3cms long

Provenance: Rhondda-Cynon-Taff

Auctioneer’s Note: Joseph Edward Southall RWS NEAC RBSA was an English painter associated with the Arts & Crafts movement. A leading figure in the 19th and early 20th Century revival of painting in tempera, Southall was the leader of the Birmingham Group of Artist-Craftsmen – one of the last outposts of Romanticism in the visual arts, and an important link between the later Pre-Raphaelites & past and the turn of the century Slade Symbolists. In June 1903 Joseph Southall married his first cousin, Anne Elizabeth Baker. Joseph and Anne (known as Bessie) lived at 13 Charlotte Road, Edgbaston, a house which belonged to his uncle, George Baker, which was to be his home for the rest of his life. Although both were fond of children they made a conscious decision not to have any themselves. According to the art consultant and author Peyton Skipwith, “She (Anne) was forty-four and he nearly forty-two; they had been intimate friends and companions for many years and had always intended to marry, but because of their close kinship had consciously waited until she was passed child-bearing age.” Anna frequently accompanied Joseph on his regular visits to “Southwold, Suffolk, or Fowey, Cornwall, and to Italy or France”

HOW TO BID! Please ensure you have read our viewing and bidding terms for these two auctions on

Room Bidding (Now Available)

COMMISSION BIDDING

About: commission bids are when you leave us your highest price to bid on your behalf. We will bid up to your price(s) and you will win items if another bidder drops out before your maximum price. If there is no other bidder then you may win the item at the bottom estimate / reserve.

Commission bids must be received by 4pm the day before the auction. We are not answering the phones on auction day!

How: this can be done on our website by clicking on the lot(s) you are interested in and then clicking ‘REGISTER / LOG IN TO BID’.

Or you can complete a copy of the bidding form at the back of this catalogue and send a clear image of the form to us by email.

Tips: there is little point in bidding below the bottom of the auction estimate and enter as high as you can so as not to regret missing out. It is always a good chance you may win the item at a smaller price.

Page 149.

TELEPHONE BIDDING

About: we phone you a few minutes prior to the lot you have booked a phone line on. Our operator will communicate the price and ask whether you want to bid.

How: as with ‘Commission Bids’ a form be completed and returned to us BUT by 1pm the day before the auction. Forms can be emailed, posted or are at the back of this publication. Telephone lines are limited so are on a first come first served basis.

Tips: calculate or ask us at approximately what time you are likely to receive a call from us and ensure you are available on the line with a good signal, you can leave a back-up line on the form in case of any problems. It is better to have a good sense of what prices you are likely to go up to before-hand as there may be no time for indecisions!

COMPANY TERMS & CONDITIONS

These conditions of business for auctions held at our premises consist of:

(1) Information for Buyers;

(2) Terms of Sale (for bidders and buyers).

(1)

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS AT AUCTIONS

1. Introduction. The following notes are intended to assist bidders and buyers, particularly those that are inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All of our auctions are governed by our Conditions of Business incorporating the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers), the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the auctioneer at the auction. Our Conditions of Business are available for inspection at our salerooms and the Terms of Sale are printed in the back of our auction catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Conditions of Business that you do not fully understand.

Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale set out in this catalogue or on our website carefully before bidding in the auction. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale.

2. Methods of Payment. Lots must be paid for before they are collected. For those attending the auction we ask that lots are paid for on the day of the sale. Methods by which we accept payment are detailed on our web site, including online payment upon receipt of your invoice, and these should be paid by 5pm within five working days following the sale. We accept cash to an upper limit of 1,000 euros equivalent. We do not accept credit card payments. We are unable to accept debit-card payments when the card holder is not present. Cheques will need to be cleared before you can take the goods away.

3. Collection and storage. All lots should be paid for and collected by 5pm within five working days following the auctions in this catalogue. Absentee bidders should check the success of their bids and arrange payment and collection within this time. Please note the Terms of Sale concerning collection and storage. Items not removed in the timescale stated will be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 as an administration fee and £5 per lot per day may be charged (plus VAT).

4. Dispatch. We do not offer postage for lots sold at auction in this catalogue unless they can be packed within a Jiffy-bag. We can recommend agents who can undertake packing and postage.

5. Agency. As auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your contract for the goods is with the seller, not with us as auctioneer.

6. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale price. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price (the minimum price for which a lot may be sold) and will not be below the reserve price. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the auctioneer before the auction of the lot. They are not definitive.

7. Buyer’s Premium for both The Welsh Sale and Selections: The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay 24% + VAT (28.8%) on all lots up to a hammer price of £19,999, 15% + VAT (18%) on all lots of a hammer price of £20,000 and over on each purchased lot in the auctions contained within

this catalogue. In addition, VAT is charged on the premium (see below).

8. VAT. VAT is payable by the buyer on the buyer’s premium at either the standard rate depending upon the legal requirements relating to that lot.

9. Artist’s Resale Right/Droit De Suite. EU & UK law states that the artist or artist’s estate are entitled to a royalty known as ‘artist’s resale right’ when any lot created by the artist is sold. We identify these lots with a ‡ symbol. If these laws apply to a lot, you must pay us an extra amount equal to the royalty. We will then pay the royalty to the appropriate authority on the seller’s behalf. The royalty applies if the hammer price of the lot is 1,000 euros (British Sterling equivalent) or more. The total royalty for any lot can not be more than 12,500 euros. The percentages are as follows: 4% up to 50,000 / 3% between 50,001 and 20,000.

Please enquire for the accepted exchange rate on the day of the sale.

Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows:

4% Up to €50,000

3% €50,000.01 - 200,000

1% €200,000.01 - 350,000

0.5% €350,000.01 - 500,000

0.25% In excess of €500,000

Up to a maximum levy of €10,000

10. Inspection of goods by the buyer. As we act on behalf of the seller, we are dependent on information provided by the seller about their goods. We may inspect lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of lots to check their condition in the way a buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the goods. You must inspect and investigate lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots set out in the Terms of Sale on our website and www.the-saleroom.com

11. Condition Reports. We may be able to assist buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending buyers are strongly encouraged to view. Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale. In many cases condition reports are stated in the catalogue description but this does not act as a guarantee that the report is factually correct and it must not be taken as guaranteed that items without condition reports stated in the description are free from issues, such as damage, restoration or other problems.

12. Electrical goods. These are sold as “objects” only. If you buy electrical goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them.

13. Export of goods. If you intend to export goods you must find out:

1. whether an export licence is needed; and

2. if there is a prohibition on importing goods of that character e.g. because the goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory.

14. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register with us before the auction starts. We reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value lots this deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You will need to provide us with proof of your identity in

a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding. Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion.

15. Absentee bidding. You may leave absentee bids with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a lot (excluding the buyers’ premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute absentee bids as economically as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical absentee bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained). We recommend leaving absentee bids online via our website. All absentee bids should be received at least 30 minutes before the auction commences; we cannot guarantee to execute absentee bids received after this time.

16. Telephone Bidding. If you are unable to come to the auction it may be possible to bid on the telephone for some lots at our discretion. The number of lines is limited so we would urge serious telephone bidding only and ask that you be prepared to bid over estimate. It is advisable to leave a maximum covering bid in case we are not able to contact you by telephone. All lines must be booked and confirmed in writing before the day of the auction and preferably some time in advance. Telephone bidding involves many variables and whilst we take every care to ensure the smooth operation of this service, we cannot be held liable if your bids are missed for any reason.

17. Online Bidding. Any lots purchased via a live online bidding service will be subject to an additional commission charge on the hammer price payable by the bidder, in accordance with rates specified by the online service. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 5% plus VAT. The charges will be payable to us on top of the hammer price and the buyer’s premium.

(2) TERMS OF SALE

Both the sale of goods at our auctions and your relationship with us are governed by the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers) the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices displayed in the saleroom or announced by us at the auction (collectively, the “Conditions of Business”). The Terms of Consignment and Terms of Sale are available at our saleroom on request.

6.3 If you breach these Terms of Sale, you may be responsible for damages and/or losses suffered by a Seller or us. If we are contacted by a Seller who wishes to bring a claim against you, we may in our discretion provide the Seller with information or assistance in relation to that claim.

6.4 We normally act as an agent only and will not have any responsibility for default by you or the Seller (unless we are the Seller of the Lot).

7. Payment

7.1 Immediately following your successful bid on a Lot you will:

7.1.1 give to us, if not already provided to our satisfaction, proof of identity in a form acceptable to us (and any other information that we require in order to comply with our anti-money laundering obligations); and

7.1.2 pay to us the Total Amount Due in any way

that we agree to accept payment. Note there is an upper limit of 1,000 euros equivalent for payments in cash.

7.2 If you owe us any money, we may use any payment made by you to repay these debts.

8. Title and collection of purchases

8.1 Once you have paid us in full the Total Amount Due for any Lot, ownership of that Lot will transfer to you. You may not claim or collect a Lot until you have paid for it.

8.2 You will (at your own expense) collect any Lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than 7 days following the auction.

8.3 If you do not collect the Lot within this time period, you will be responsible for any reasonable removal and storage charges in relation to that Lot.

8.4 Risk of loss or damage to the Lot will pass to you when you (or your agents) take physical possession of the Lot.

8.5 If you do not collect the Lot that you have paid for within thirty days after the auction, we may sell the Lot. We will pay the proceeds of any such sale to you, but will deduct any storage charges or other sums that we have incurred in the storage and sale of the Lot. We reserve the right to charge you a selling commission at our standard rates on any such resale of the Lot.

9. Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchases

9.1 Please do not bid on a Lot if you do not intend to buy it. If your bid is successful, these Terms of Sale will apply to you. This means that you will have to carry out your obligations set out in these Terms of Sale. If you do not comply with these Terms of Sale we may (acting on behalf of the Seller and ourselves) pursue one or more of the following measures:

9.1.1 take action against you for damages for breach of contract;

9.1.2 reverse the sale of the Lot to you and/or any other Lots sold by us to you;

9.1.3 resell the Lot by auction or private treaty (in which case you will have to pay any difference between the price you should have paid for the Lot and the price we sell it for as well as the charges outlined in Clause 8.5). Please note that if we sell the Lot for a higher amount than your winning bid, the extra money will belong to the Seller;

9.1.4 remove, store and insure the Lot at your expense;

9.1.5 if you do not pay us within five business days of your successful bid, we may charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month on the total amount due;

9.1.6 keep that Lot or any other Lot sold to you until you pay the Total Amount Due;

9.1.7 reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or impose conditions before we accept bids from you; and/or

9.1.8 if we sell any Lots for you, use the money made on these Lots to repay any amount you owe us.

9.2 We will act reasonably when exercising our rights under Clause 9.1. We will contact you before exercising these rights and try to work with you to correct any non-compliance by you with these Terms of Sale.

10. Health and safety

Although we take reasonable precautions regarding health and safety, you are on our premises at your own risk. Please note the lay-out of the premises and security arrangements. Neither we nor our employees or agents are responsible for the safety of you or your property when you visit our premises, unless you suffer any injury to your person or damage to your property as a result of our, our employees’ or our agents’ negligence.

11. Warranties

11.1 The Seller warrants to us and to you that:

11.1.1 the Seller is the true owner of the Lot for sale or is authorised by the true owner to offer and sell the lot at auction;

11.1.2 the Seller is able to transfer good and marketable title to the Lot to you free from any third party rights or claims; and

11.1.3 as far as the Seller is aware, the main characteristics of the Lot set out in the auction catalogue (as amended by any notice displayed in the saleroom or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction) are correct.

11.2 If, after you have placed a successful bid and paid for a Lot, any of the warranties above are found not to be true, please notify us in writing. Neither we nor the Seller will be liable to pay you any sums over and above the Total Amount Due and we will not be responsible for any inaccuracies in the information provided by the Seller except as set out below.

11.3 Please note that many of the Lots that you may bid on at our auction are second-hand.

11.4 If a Lot is not second-hand and you purchase the Lot as a Consumer from a Seller that is a Trader, a number of additional terms may be implied by law in addition to the Seller’s warranties set out at Clause 11.1 (in particular under the Consumer Rights Act 2015). These Terms of Sale do not seek to exclude your rights under law as they relate to the sale of these Lots.

11.5 Save as expressly set out above, all other warranties, conditions or other terms which might have effect between the Seller and you, or us and you, or be implied or incorporated by statue, common law or otherwise are excluded.

12. Descriptions and condition

12.1 Our descriptions of the Lot will be based on: (a) information provided to us by the Seller of the Lot (for which we are not liable); and (ii) our opinion (although it is likely that we will not be able to carry out a detailed inspection of each Lot).

12.2 We will give you a number of opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot.

12.3 Representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion will be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.

12.4 Please note that Lots (in particular second-hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition. Lots are sold “as is” (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of second-hand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/ or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed.

13. Deliberate Forgeries

13.1 You may return any Lot which is found to be a Deliberate Forgery to us within 21 days of the auction provided that you return the Lot to us in the same condition as when it was released to you, accompanied by a written statement identifying the Lot from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects.

13.2 If we are reasonably satisfied that the Lot is a Deliberate Forgery we will refund the money paid by you for the Lot (including any Premium and applicable VAT) provided that if:

13.2.1 the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of experts as at the date of the auction; or

13.2.2 you personally are not able to transfer good and marketable title in the Lot to us, you will have no right to a refund under this Clause 13.2.

13.3 If you have sold the Lot to another person, we will only be liable to refund the price that you paid for the Lot. We will not be responsible for repaying any additional money you may have made from selling the Lot.

13.4 Your right to return a Lot that is a Deliberate Forgery does not affect your legal rights and is in addition to any other right or remedy provided by law or by these Terms of Sale.

14. Our liability to you

14.1 We will not be liable for any loss of opportunity or disappointment suffered as a result of participating in our auction.

14.2 In addition to the above, neither we nor the Seller shall be responsible to you and you shall not be responsible to the Seller or us for any other loss or damage that any of us suffer that is not a foreseeable result of any of us not complying with the Conditions of Business. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen or if at the time of the sale of the Lot, we, you and the Seller knew it might happen.

14.3 Subject to Clause 14.4, if we are found to be liable to you for any reason (including, amongst others, if we are found to be negligent, in breach of contract or to have made a misrepresentation), our liability will be limited to the total purchase price paid by you to us for any Lot.

14.4 Notwithstanding the above, nothing in these Terms of Sale shall limit our liability (or that of our employees or agents) for:

14.4.1 death or personal injury resulting from negligence (as defined in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977);

14.4.2 fraudulent misrepresentation; or

14.4.3 any liability which cannot be excluded by law.
