1 Africa.A collection of typed and handwritten journal letters from Helen Margaret Bond (nee Thomas), an English missionary who spent several years on the borders of Uganda and Congo at the beginning of the 20th century. She arrived in Ngogwe, Uganda in August 1901 to help in a children’s school and “as there was no one else to take up this [medical] work, I began at once and the morning after I got there had my first experience of an African dispensary; at first with next to no knowledge of the language one found considerable difficulty in understanding a patient’s ailment...if the diagnose was not always quite correct, the patients were quite contented for their faith in the English person’s wisdom seems to be unlimited”; in another entry she writes “It is very hard to realize that we have got to the middle of November, with the brilliant sunshine that we are having every day; the rainy season that seemed to be coming [...] has quite passed away, and with it all our hopes that our vegetables and seeds will be of any use [...] Women all cultivate the banana plantations even the princesses” and adds “ a few of the women are learning to sew, and get on very well with it. That is men’s work here, the women have nothing to sew as they wear barkcloths beaten out; they are very picturesque, all shades of terracotta; but all the men who can afford it wear cloth, their dress is a long night-dress down to their heels of white calico or linen which they very often make themselves”, 17 November 1901. In a later typed account she writes “We have been doing a great deal of vaccinating here lately, there has been a great deal of small pox about, and the people have been most keen to be done, but until just lately we have been unable to get any lymph”. She mentions the condition of women in Uganda, who “for generations have been the slaves of the men, with no idea beyond cooking and cultivating, fetching wood and water, and it takes them a long while to learn. One sees them patiently plodding away at the Alphabet, or syllables, over and over again, without apparently getting any further; and yet after a time

some do get hold of it and learn to read; and we hear there are 5 or 6 who want to be trained as teachers”. She also describes a trip to Lake Victoria “We went along the Uganda side of the lake to see the Falls, along a little narrow path and down a precipitous descent, then out on to some rocks which are closed down by the Falls...It is a lovely sight, the calm surface of the lake, the water gliding over the top of the Falls, then rushing down with a deafening roar”, 25 September 1904.

Subsequent journal letters are written from Kabarole, in the Kingdom Toro, Uganda, where she worked at the local hospital. In a letter she writes “A little while ago it was the anniversary of the King’s baptism, so he made a fest in honour of the occasion, and invited us all up to lunch at twelve o’clock. He had made a great effort to have everything as it should be, in European style, and we had numerous dishes though the courses were perhaps a little mixed up first soup, and then sago pudding, after that various kinds of meat , and chocolates and strawberries to finish it up”.

She also writes about plans and sites for building a new hospital in Kabarole, as “our Hospital is constantly overcrowded, and it is our usual condition now, to have extra patients in the middle of the ward (where there is very little room) or on the floor”. Another letter discusses the different people met on her journey “…They had never seen a white woman before and stared hard at us. They had filed teeth, and large holes in their ears, and their tribal mark cut on their foreheads…”, “We first saw pigmies here, a little man and woman who are living with the chief. The man was Bulasiyo the first pigmy to read and be baptized, but now sad to say, he has gone back again to his heathen ways”; also included is a large quantity of watercolours depicting mostly views written of in the journals, as well as studies of flowers, ships and other still life scenes, some loose, mostly mounted in albums, c. 1901-1908. (quantity) £800-£1,200 3

Just imagine four hundred thousand men engaged in battle for 16 hours, along the lines of the two armies 12 1/2 miles!

106 106 Wilkie (David) Two autograph letters signed (‘David Wilkie’) to Royal Physician Sir James Clark. In the first one Wilkie mentions his journey through Europe “On setting foot again on the continent, which I had not done for twelve years, one object was in our progress, to view on the way the labours of art in the schools of the West, both of the present and of former times. At Munich we saw with surprise the numbers of works, in painting, sculpture and architecture called into being by the spirit and taste of the sovereign of that place. And both there and at Vienna, as we had previously at Amsterdam, we were filled with renewed wonder at the surpassing genius displayed in the labours of Rubens and Rembrandt”, four pages, loss to page two with later restoration, remnants of wax seal and previous mount, large 4to, Constantinople , 27th March 1840. In the second letter Wilkie mentions “how strongly in my distant wanderings I have partecipated in the national cause of joy at the blessing that has attended our August Sovereign Lady and the Prince Albert in the happy occasion of the birth of the Princess Royal, as you say ‘as fine a child as is in the kingdom’ [...]The breaking out of the war in Syria, as you know delayed and postponed all my pursuits, yet to give up what I had come so far to attain, and which if attained might be for the general good of British and at a time too when the brilliant success of Her Majesty’s Army [...] was attracting every eye and every thought to the country I was bound for, was really too much for me [..] But perhaps to you Sir James I ought to explain, why I, with full occupation and a new comfortable domicile at home, without pursuit in art of that elevation to require such study, and without the authority or the honour of a public mission, should yet mount the staff and scallop shell for such a peregrination. It is in truth not for myself but for those who are younger, and far abler than myself , who I wish to recall, and the taste of the public with them, to the paiting of Scripture subjetcs, now so little sought for in the British School. For this I have come to visit the localities of Scripture history, to see and to judge, if these supply any...for the talent of my countrymen, concluding after some weeks of reflection on all I see around me, that great and successful as this labours in art have been in the painting of Syrian history yet that Syria by a strange paradox is the only country in the world that has never been visited by the painter”, four pages, restorations to upper right corners, folding marks, light splitting, remnants of previous mount, large 4to, Jerusalem, March 1841.

I suppose he feels very fond of them!’ Blyton continues to add ‘I am sending you some cards….I hope you will like them.

Best wishes to your teacher”, one page, folding marks, scattered foxing throughout, remnants of previous mount to verso, 8vo, Old Thatch, Bourne End, Buckinghamshire, 29 October 1933; accompanied by the four different vintage postcard photographs referred to by Blyton, two depicting Bobs in different poses, one annotated ‘Bobs & the tame baby thrush’ and the other ‘Bobs & Sandy’ by Blyton to the versos in pencil, another showing Blyton seated outdoors in her garden, annotated in pencil to the verso ‘Old Thatch.

194 Chapone (Hester) Autograph letter signed (‘H. Chapone’) to Reverend William Price, mentioning a paper that “was written a few months ago, in real distress of mind, immediately after a reperusal of Butler’s Analogy, which I had recourse to, from remembering that some years ago it had afforded me great satisfaction. I was extremely mortified to find myself much less satisfied by this last reading than by the former, which showed me too plainly that the state of my mind was altered.

Whether my Reason is enlightened or depraved by time, God knows! [...] A thorough enquiry is so vast a task, so disproportioned to my abilities, and so diminutive of time, which, at my years, should rather be employed in the practice of Religion than the discussion of it, that nothing but being convinced it was my absolute duty, could give me courage to think of it. I believe you are master of all the best arguments I could ever hope to find, if indeed there are any that can remove my difficulties [...] I read no Infidel writers, I converse with no Infidels. All those whom I most love and esteem and wish to imitate, profess to believe and honour Christianity. My greatest comforts and supports under severe afflictions, my brightest hopes after the disappointment of my strongest passions of all my schemes of happiness in this world, have been derived from it, and if my Reason has been blinded, it is not by the desire but by the fear of finding those principles defective in their foundation which have been hitherto the support of my life. If you can help me to regain that firm faith I once enjoyed, or direct me how to act under my present doubts, so as to acquit myself of all that is within my power, I may venture to hope you will not think your time misemployed”, three pages, folding marks, professional restorations, remnants of previous mount and wax seal, tall 4to, 29 January 1769.

1982); “Last nights ‘’fancy dress’’, judged by ‘’Ed & Sarah’’ was a great success - Diana’s dresser et ‘’moi’’ came 2nd - dressed as clowns.

Sarah informed me that she chose the 2nd - Ed, of course chose the 1st! One wonders whether she favoured ‘’moi’’....Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday afternoon - we’ll have a good chat under the dryer!’ (Balmoral Castle, 31 August 1982); “It was good to be back with ones very best and only friends, after what seems like an eternity away in far flung corners of the empire....Enclosed are your tickets for the viewing of ‘’Beatrix the Bolds’’ arrival at Buckingham Palace. I do hope that Bo can make it....She will go ‘’Ga-Ga’’ like poor old Wallis in the Bois de Boulogne and turn into a vegetable” (Buckingham Palace, 11 November 1982), eighteen pages, 4to and 8vo, various places (mainly London), June - 17 December 1982 £300-£400

Burrell writes a series of social letters to his friend, saying in part “As I sit here at my desk, listening to the band of the Grenadier Guards play beneath my bedroom window, I wonder where you are and what you might be doing. It would be so nice to have you in town for my birthday tomorrow...I just had the most horrific shock! The lovely letter which you wrote me from Abu Dhabi had been packed with my livery for next weeks Reagan visit at Windsor. Thank goodness my hat boxes and wardrobe trunks are still outside my door and are not being trundled to Windsor by the Army!....I had a super day at the Derby on the 2nd with the Queen - even though we had thunderstorms during luncheon....the rain stopped in time for Lilibet and Mummy to squelch their way down to the paddock to see the horses. Today, Saturday, is a beautiful warm sunny day, so after I have been ‘’pumping’’, I’m off on the roof for a few hours of ‘’bronzy bronzy (5 June 1982); “I have been having a super birthday party and ‘’several’’ wonderful surprises!!....Lunch was for 4, which included your little friend ‘’Scooby Doo’’ - isn’t he lovely?? Such a shame he had to leave to meet some previously arranged ‘’date’’. Ah well!.....The flowers are so beautiful - I don’t want them to die!!....They’re all in a beautiful bouquetwith a huge bow and fishtails! Thank you Michael - you’re so thoughtful! I’m leaving here tonight to travel to Windsor. How on earth can I carry my flowers past the guards!! I must get Penny - our florist to arrange them nicely for me. The Queen would be green if she saw them!” (Ealing, 6 June 1982); “I had a lovely week in Edinburgh - very quiet, due to the absence of my ‘’little ones’’, but I had more time for private engagements. I opened a new little pub called the ‘’Laughing Duck’’ - such a friendly, happy place - everyone was ‘’so kind’’ and attentive. Then on another evening I opened a new ‘’dance centre’’ dedicated to the ‘’performing arts’’ - but my dear, there wasn’t a tulle frock or sequin in sight - black leather seems to be the predominant dress for this season, trimmed in silver chains.

I was always accompanied of course by my L.I.W’s [Ladies/Lords-inWaiting] - one has to be chaperoned, especially as I wasn’t really ‘’fit to receive ‘’private’’ audiences!!!’’ (Buckingham Palace, 6 July 1982); “Received your despatch from the ‘’Metropolis’’ this morning and after snatching ‘’mon neuf petit chien’’ from Lilibet’s one and only hands - made for the woods, where my babies ‘’et moi’’ could read all your news. I’m sure that the Queen could hear me laughing when I read your comment regarding the photo on the card....Charles’ little willie is misbehaving - keeps being sick everywhere - and cries...and cries...and cries! I think that the novelty with Granny has worn off (orf). Queen Elizabeth arrives tomorrow from the Castle of Mey...

Geordie, one of ‘’Mummys’’ corgis is very ill - and may die. ‘’But there’s no way she will have him put down’’ the Queen said to Margot - to which her reply was - with a puff on her cigarette (with holder) ‘’Well, perhaps he’ll pop orf in the night....!’’.

I desperately want to see two movies - ‘’E.T’’ and ‘’Conan....the Barbarian’’....Could you possibly book me a hair appointment....”(Balmoral Castle, 24 August

Answer the Duke’s lure of cities and owning something in France […] any idea of a winter climate as opposed to Nassau and Palm Beach – but what have we - not a soul outside of the Rogers she wants to see and no goes – so perhaps we are for once making the right decision in giving up La Croё but it’s hard […] Herman tells me he wrote you that they would love to have you come to them (business basis of course) – he thinks perhaps he didn’t make himself clear. I understand he is prepared to meet anything that Daisy does at the moment - actually this is none of my business – therefore I am explaining his idea to you! He thinks it would make K [Katherine] very happy and would of course be a god send to Herman who really never has a moment. K looks quite well very chic new clothes and the throat beautifully disguised in bows, scarves etc. but I feel she is not well – it is all so tragic writing everything and discussing Daisy and infections etc. – it is too tragic but they are determined to “lick this thing”. The tube should come out in another month – I pray it does – I have not seen H. alone - so do not really know how hopeful he is – they […] here yesterday and the first […] experiment takes place here Saturday – because poor K falls to sleep at the table and this is to see if very fascinating jabbering can keep her awake – she is to leave if she feels like it […] I did not know Brenda had died – I sent a wire to Jane and little Brenda but have heard nothing – maybe you have Jane’s address.

Terms and Conditions for Buyers at Chiswick Auctions

1. BEFORE THE SALE 1.1 Agent for the seller Unless otherwise agreed, Chiswick Auctions Ltd, hereafter referred to as CA LTD acts as agent for the seller. The contract for sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.

1.2 Definitions For the purposes of the current Terms and Conditions, the Seller shall be defined as the owner of the Goods. It is implied that the Seller is the legitimate owner and is authorised to sell the Lot. The Bidder is any registered person participating in the auction, and the Buyer is the successful Bidder for a particular Lot. The Lot means the item(s) put up for sale by CA Ltd and to which the present Terms and Conditions apply.

1.3 Catalogue descriptions Any representation in any catalogue or otherwise as to the origin, date, age, attribution, genuineness or estimated selling price of any lot is a statement of opinion only. Such statements do not constitute a representation warranty or assumption of liability by CA Ltd in relation to the Lot. Any prospective Buyer should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the reliability of the catalogue description.

The absence of mention related to prior restorations in the Catalogue descriptions does not imply that the good is exempt thereof.

Photographs of any Lot provided by CA Ltd are for indicative purposes only and are not deemed to be a precise representation of the said Lot. The Buyer is advised to seek independent expert advice in order to be assured of the authenticity and true state of the good.

1.4 Inspection Prior to auction, prospective purchasers are strongly advised to personally examine personally any property in which they are interested to satisfy themselves in relation to matters which may concern them.

1.5 Condition report CA Ltd may issue a Condition Report on request prior to the sale.

This Condition Report is for identification purposes only and cannot be considered as giving a precise account of the Lot’s true state. Thus, some imperfections and faults may not be accounted for in the Condition Report.

As aforementioned, and in the absence of any contractual value of the Condition report, it is the Buyer’s sole duty to inspect in person the Lot in order be assured of its true condition and CA Ltd shall not be responsible for assertions within the Condition Report hereto.

1.6 Electricals All electrical items are sold as seen and CA Ltd offers no guarantee as to the working condition of such items or their safety.

It is the Buyer’s duty to take necessary steps to be assured that the Lot is safe for normal use.

1.7 Estimates Estimates are based on various factors inherent to the situation of the market at the time of the sale, as well as considerations such as the

condition, rarity, or quality of the item etc. Estimates are only indicative and represent the opinion of CA Ltd. Estimates provided by CA Ltd cannot constitute a guarantee as to the value of the good. Subsequently, goods may sell at prices lower or higher than the provided estimates.

1.8 Reserves Many Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum sale price. The reserve will never exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. CA Ltd may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller, and may in their discretion continue to bid up to the reserve price. This can be achieved by bidding in response to other bidders or alternatively by placing consecutive bids.

1.9 Registration to the sale New bidders will need to register prior to the sale. It is strongly advised bidders register at least 24 hours before the sale. Registration thereafter shall be at the auctioneer’s entire discretion.

International bidders may be required to register 48 hours before the sale and to submit bank details.

A deposit may be requested prior to each sale.

Failure to register shall result in the impossibility for the bidder to purchase a Lot. 1.10 Proof of identity Bidders not previously known to CA Ltd will be required to provide:

• Official proof of identity in the form of a passport or photocard driving licence. No other forms of ID are acceptable.

• Proof of address of main residence. Only official documents showing name and address will be accepted.

• Both landline and mobile telephone numbers • A bank reference for foreign bidders may be requested • Corporate clients will have to provide a certificate of incorporation prior to the auction, along with the representative’s ID in accordance with the above mentioned requirements for proof of identity.

Any Bidder that does not match the provided identity for registration may not purchase during the sale.

2. DURING THE SALE 2.1 Attendance at auction Attending the auction in person is recommended.

CA Ltd has the right in their absolute discretion to refuse participation in any auction, to reject any bid, and to refuse admission to the premises.

Bidders are not obliged to be present in person at the auction.

Absentee bidders shall be required to make necessary arrangements with CA Ltd prior to the sale.

2.2 Personal bidding Bidders attending the auction in person shall be required to collect a number plate prior to the sale.

2.3 Commission bids CA Ltd will use reasonable efforts to carry out Commission bids received by them prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person. Execution of Commission bids is a free service provided to help clients and CA Ltd does not accept liability for any failure to execute a Commission bid or for errors and omissions in connection with it.

Commission bids shall be executed at the lowest possible price, subject to competing bids and reserves. Although CA Ltd will endeavour to inform Buyers, it is the Buyer’s responsibility to check if they have been successful in purchasing a Lot. In the event of multiple commissions at the same price, the commission set at the older date shall be taken into account.

2.4 Telephone bids If a bidder is not able to attend in person an auction, CA Ltd will use reasonable efforts to contact prospective Buyers who make arrangements prior to commencement of the sale to bid by telephone.

CA Ltd cannot be held responsible in the event of issues affecting connectivity, resulting in the loss of a chance of purchasing the Lot for the Bidder.

2.5 Internet bids Some sales may be available to internet bidding, as well as personal attendance. In this event, CA Ltd shall not be held responsible for issues affecting connection.

A copy of the mandate shall also be required.

In this event, Buyers have a 14 day period at reception of the Lot to withdraw from the sale, in accordance with EU Consumer Law. 2.10 Dispute resolution during the auction Any dispute shall be settled at the auctioneer’s absolute discretion.

Under no circumstances will a sale be cancelled after the fall of the hammer, except at the auctioneer’s entire discretion.

3. CONTRACT FORMATION AND EFFECTS 3.1 Contract of sale The contract of sale is between the Buyer and the Seller.

The Buyer shall be the bidder at the highest price at the fall of the hammer. The sale is deemed complete once the auctioneer announces its completion by the fall of the hammer and the contract shall be binding thereafter between the Buyer and the Seller and CA Ltd. When a Buyer purchases multiple Lots, each Lot is the subject of a separate contract of sale.

3.2 Transfer of property Property of the goods shall pass to the Buyer only once CA Ltd has received full payment for the goods, this includes the price at the fall of the hammer as well as Buyer’s premium, relevant taxes, and costs in relation to shipping.

3.3 Transfer of risks Purchased Lots shall be at the Buyer’s risk in all respects from the fall of the hammer, and neither CA Ltd nor their agents shall be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.

Grounds for cancellation under the present section shall include but not be limited to any dispute relating to the attribution or provenance of the Lot, ownership and title, fraud or deceit, lack of relevant licences or certificates, any subsequent changes in domestic or international legislations restricting the sale of export of goods etc.

In the event of internet-only auctions, the Buyer shall have a 14 day right to retract, after reception of the Lot, under EU Consumer Law. Public auctions are not covered by this right to retract.

3.5 Returns and refunds CA Ltd will only issue a refund using the same method of payment originally used by the Buyer to pay for the purchase, or by bank transfer.

The Buyer’s refund will be processed without undue delay and in any event within no more than 28 days of the day the Buyer gave CA Ltd notice of cancellation.

If the Buyer exercises their right of retraction when authorised to do so

by Law, CA Ltd shall proceed to issue a complete refund, comprising the hammer price of the Lot, buyer’s premium and shipping fees. However return fees shall remain at the expense of the Buyer.

4. AFTER THE SALE 4.1 Payment All purchased lots must be paid for on the day of the auction. Commission bids must be paid for no later than the day after the auction. Payment must be in cash, debit, credit card or bank transfer. Cheques are not accepted.

Cash payments shall not be receivable for amounts over €10,000, regardless of the payment being for one or multiple Lots.

Payments made by someone other than the registered Buyer shall not be accepted.

Title will not pass to the Buyer until CA Ltd has received all amounts due to them in cleared funds even if the Lot has been released to the Buyer.

4.2 Buyer’s Premium The Buyer will pay CA Ltd a premium of 25% on the hammer price plus VAT on that commission on the first £500,000 and 12% plus VAT on the balance thereafter. A Buyer’s Premium of 19.5% plus VAT is charged on Wine & Spirits Lots.

Any balance proceeds of sale received after payment of all sums outstanding and due to CA Ltd shall be held for the account of the Buyer.

Droit de Suite is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or to the artist’s heir each time a work is resold during the artist’s lifetime and up to a period of 70 years after the artist’s death. Royalties are calculated on a cumulative sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium. The royalty does not apply to Lots selling below the sterling equivalent of €1,000 and the maximum royalty payable on any single Lot is the sterling equivalent of 12,500.

Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows:

CA Ltd will use reasonable efforts when handling packing and shipping of Lots purchased, but shall not be responsible for any loss or damages that may occur whilst the said Lot is in any third party’s care.

4.10 Cultural Goods import and export restrictions Cultural goods may be subject to import and export restrictions. Under EU Regulations related to the trade of cultural goods, export licences may be required for export outside of the European Union if the item’s value exceeds the EU threshold. Under UK Law, a licence may also be required for intra-EU trade.

Licenses are issued by Arts Council England and it is the Buyer’s duty to obtain them. Some countries restrict the import of specific cultural goods.

For example, the United States prohibits the import of pre-Columbian monumental or architectural sculpture or murals, as well as any cultural goods in provenance from some countries subject to armed conflicts.

The Buyer must verify local legislation prior to the sale in order to be assured that import or export is possible.

4.11 CITES import and export restrictions Certain endangered species are listed in the CITES Convention. Listed specimens and any parts or products thereof are subject to issuance of an export permit when leaving the European Union.

Appendix I species, are also subject to issuance of a prior import permit from the country in which the goods are to be imported. Such permits are necessary before applying for export permits and it is the Buyer’s duty to initiate the proceedings with the relevant authority.

The Buyer must be aware that certain countries prohibit the import of some species or any parts or products derived thereof. For example, the United States prohibit all import of African elephant ivory, and any item containing parts that may merely resemble African elephant ivory must be accompanied by relevant documentation stating it is not the latter.

Worked items that are dated before 1947 are exempt from import restrictions for intra-EU trade and shall not require export licences.

Please be aware that all Lots marked with the symbol λ are subject to CITES regulations.

4.12 Limitation of liability regarding CITES export licenses Where licences are required for importing or exporting outside of the European Union, it is the Buyer’s duty to obtain them.

CA Ltd cannot be held responsible if the Buyer’s application for an export permit is unsuccessful. Subsequently, in the event of failure thereof, CA Ltd shall not permit cancellation or rescission of the sale.

4.13 Warranties CA Ltd does not provide the Buyer with warranties relating to any Lot, unless required by Law. 4.14 Authenticity warranty In the event of a Lot being sold as authentic under the catalogue description and the Buyer provides evidence in the form of a written report by a recognised expert or test results that the said Lot is not, CA Ltd will refund the purchase price.

The Buyer shall give notice to CA Ltd within 28 days from knowledge or any event giving reasons for suspecting that the item is not authentic, and within one year of the said sale. Any claim thereafter shall not be receivable. For the purposes of the present paragraph, authenticity shall be defined as the state of a Lot that is genuine and not a forgery or a copy.

5. ANTIQUITIES AND TRIBAL ART 5.1 Import and export restrictions and regulations Archaeological goods over 100 years of age, unless covered by exemption of limited scientific interest, will require an EU Licence for export to a third country, regardless of their value.

It is recommended that the Buyer contact the Export Licensing Unit at Arts Council England in order to be assured the good is or not of limited archaeological or scientific interest.

Archaeological goods found on United-Kingdom soil or in UK territorial waters over 50 years of age shall require a UK Licence regardless of their value and regardless of the export destination.

Other archaeological objects regardless of their origin will require an Individual Licence or OGEL depending on their value.

Both European-Union and UK Licences may be required simultaneously for some items. It is the Buyer’s duty to undertake the necessary steps.

CA Ltd cannot be held responsible and the sale cannot be cancelled in the event of failure to obtain the relevant licences.

6. JEWELLERY 6.1 Gemstone treatment and estimates Many gemstones on the market have been treated so as to augment their appearance, in a reversible or permanent manner. Treatments under the present section may be but not limited to:

• Heat treatment to enhance sapphires and rubies’ clarity and colour • Oil and resin treatments for emeralds applied in different ways, to enhance clarity of the stone • Staining • Irradiation • Coating

Estimates provided by CA Ltd are deemed to be based on the fact that the gemstone may have been subject to any type of treatment in the past. CA Ltd shall not be responsible in the absence of mention thereof.

A certificate may be issued by a laboratory, providing with detailed information on the condition of the gemstone and any treatment applied thereto. The Buyer must be aware that different laboratories have different approaches as to the degree or type of treatment for a particular gemstone.

If a certificate accompanies the Lot, the Buyer must be aware that it is merely a statement of the laboratory’s opinion and in no way can CA Ltd

be held responsible for any mentions therein. Such certificates are deemed to be delivered with the Lot for informative purposes only.

6.2 Estimated weights If a stone’s exact weight appears within the body of the description, the stone has been un-mounted and weighed by CA Ltd. If the weight of a stone is stated to be approximate, the stone has been assessed by CA Ltd within its setting, and the defined weight is a statement of opinion only. This information is given as a guide and bidders should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy.

6.3 Signatures ‘A diamond ring, by X’: When the maker’s name appears in the title, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion the piece is by that maker.

‘A diamond ring, signed X’: Has a signature that, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, is authentic but may contain gemstones that are not original, or the piece may have been altered.

‘A diamond ring, mounted by X’: Has been created by the jeweller, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, but using stones or designs supplied by the client.

‘Maker’s mark for X’: Has a maker’s mark which in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion is authentic.

Some items may include parts or products derived from endangered species, such as ivory or coral. Such items may be subject to import or export restrictions. See section on CITES regulations for more details.

7. CLOCKS AND WATCHES All Lots are sold as seen. Clocks and watches are therefore not deemed to be sold in working condition. Absence of reference thereof in the description does not imply that the Lot is in good condition and without defects, or has been subject to repair or restoration.

CA Ltd makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary.

Most clocks and watches are likely to have been repaired in the past, and as a result may include parts that are not original thereto.

The United-States restrict the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller or Corum. Such models can only be imported personally by the Buyer and CA Ltd cannot assist with shipping thereof.

Some watches may include leather straps derived from endangered species. Buyers may be required to obtain appropriate permits for import or export purposes in accordance with CITES regulations.

CA Ltd acts in compliance with such legislations and shall take necessary steps where required. Subsequently, watches may be deemed sold without their straps.

8. FURNITURE 8.1 Upholstered furniture after 1950 According to The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988, furniture that was upholstered after the 1st of January 1950 is subject to restrictions in the United-Kingdom.

Exempt upholstered furniture that does not meet such requirements is deemed sold for purely aesthetic purposes.CA Ltd shall not be responsible for later alterations to the furniture, making it unfit for sale.

9. FINE ART Fine Art paintings as included in the catalogue description ‘X 1600-1670’: In Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, it is an authentic work by the artist.

‘Follower of X 1600-1670’: In Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, it is a work by an unidentified artist working in the artist’s style, contemporary or near contemporary.

‘School of X, 17th century’: In Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, it is a work executed in that period and in the style associated with that artist.

‘French School, 17th century’: In Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, it is a work executed in that period and in the style associated with a particular location. ‘Manner of X’: In Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, it is a work by an unidentified artist working in the artist’s style but at a later date, although not of recent execution.

‘Style of X’: In Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, it is a work by an unidentified artist working in the artist’s style and of recent execution.

‘After X 1600-1670: In Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, it is a copy by an unidentified artist of a named work by the artist.

Lots sold ‘as seen’ or ‘as found’ are deemed to be sold in their present condition, with their faults and defects. The Bidder must be aware that purchase of such Lots is at there own risk.

CA Ltd offers no guarantee as to suitability for drinking of the wine or spirit. The Buyer must be aware of the risk that the taste of a wine or spirit may be altered due to factors such as age, storage conditions, oxidation, etc.

10. ASIAN ARTS

Whenever and to the extent that any provisions of these terms would or might contravene the provision of any relevant legislation, such provision is to take effect only in so far as it may do so without contravening such legislation and the legality, validity and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions are not in any way to be affected or impaired as a result.

10.1 Import and export restrictions When dealing with Asian Arts and more specifically with items made of exotic wood (e.g. all species of rosewood) or elephant ivory, the Buyer must be aware of import and export restrictions in accordance with CITES Regulations. As aforementioned in the Section relating to such matters, import and export permits or re-export certificates may be required.

Verification letters will be required for re-export of worked rhinoceros items.

10.2 Fine Chinese Paintings Current scholarship in the field of Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy does not permit unqualified statements as to the authorship or date of execution. The limited right of rescission contained in the present terms and conditions does not apply to Chinese paintings.

Notwithstanding, if within 28 days of the sale of any such Lot, the original purchaser gives written notice to CA Ltd that the Lot is a forgery and within fourteen days after giving such notice, the original purchaser returns the lot to us in the same condition as at the time of sale and demonstrates to our satisfaction that the lot is a forgery, CA Ltd will rescind the sale and refund the purchase price received. For this purpose, a ‘forgery’ is defined as a work created with the intent to deceive.

11. BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS Books and manuscripts sold as incomplete are not subject to returns.

Printed books may be returned for a full refund only if they prove to be defective in text or illustration. This shall not apply to the absence of blanks, half titles or advertisements, to un-named books or to books sold under the heading of ‘binding’ or ‘bindings’.

12. WINES AND SPIRITS In accordance with agreed standards in the trade, estimates shall be deemed to have taken into account the fill level.

For the purposes of the present Terms and Conditions, the ‘Fill Level’ refers to the space between the base of the cork and the liquid in the bottle. Fill levels may vary with age or depending on the condition of the wine or spirit.

Lack of mention thereof in the description is not a representation of an ‘acceptable’ fill level from CA Ltd.

Such copyright shall remain at all times the property of CA Ltd. Neither the Buyer nor anyone else shall use the above mentioned materials without the prior written consent of CA Ltd.

17. LAW AND JURISDICTION The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale and the conduct of the auction and any matters related to any of the foregoing shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the Law of England and Wales.

For the benefit of CA Ltd all bidders and sellers agree that the Courts of England are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle all disputes arising in connection with all aspects of all matters or transactions to which these Conditions of Sale and Authorship warranty relate or apply.
