115 Property of a Private Collector THEO VAN RYSSELBERGHE (BELGIAN 1862 - 1926) Les Alpes à Peïra-Cava (apres-midi) signed with the monogramme and dated 1918; titled on the reverse oil on canvas board 32.5 x 40.5cm (12 3/4 x 16 in) PROVENANCE: Baron Adrien Victor Joseph de Gerlache de Gomery (acquired from the artist in 1920. A keen sailor and seaman from his teenage years, de Gerlache made his reputation as an explorer of Antarctica, leading the Belgian expedition to the South Pole of 1897-99. He set sale in August 1897 for Antarctica in the Belgica, a converted Norwegian whaling ship. He and his crew passed by Graham Land in January 1898, naming the waters between the Island and an archipelago to the west Belgica Strait later renamed Gerlache Strait in the captain’s honour, and crossed the Antarctic Circle on 15th February 1898. By the end of the month, however, the boat had become trapped in the ice off Peter Island, forcing de Gerlache and his companions to spend the winter there.

From mid-May to late July they experienced total darkness, and there followed another 7 months of intense hardship as they attempted to free the ship from their frozen surrounds.

Finally, a full year later, in mid-February 1899 they cleared a channel, and by mid-March were ice free. The expedition returned to Antwerp on 5 November 1899. In 1901 de Gerlache published a book on the expedition: Quinze Mois dans l’Antarctique.

Thence by descent to the present owner, grandson of the above LITERATURE: Ronald Feltkamp, Théo Van Rysselberghe, Catalogue raisonné, Brussels, 2003, no. 1918.008, illustrated Painted in Peïra-Cava in the Alpes Maritimes, Provence. Peïra-Cava was the region’s first and most fashionable ski resort in the early 1900s.

The village is dominated by the eponymous peak (altitude 1,582m), which offers panoramic

20

views stretching across the Mediterranean, as far as Corsica on a clear day. After the First World War, when Van Rysselberghe was attracted to the site, the resort was at its apogee and boasted at least three hotels. There were even ambitious plans to link it by cable car to Nice.

Van Rysselberghe had been a colourist ever since his first trip to Morocco in 1882 aged 20.

Two more trips to North Africa that decade followed, and the results are evident in the gradual opening up of his palette and the light that began to suffuse his compositions. But his truly damascene moment came in the the spring of 1886, when he was transfixed by Georges Seurat’s largest and most audacious work La Grande Jatte at the 8th and last Impressionist exhibition in Paris (collection of the Art Institute of Chicago). He convinced the Frenchman to show the painting the following year in Brussels with Les XX, the avantgarde group of artists and designers he had cofounded three years earlier. Although the painting met with scepticism and derision from the Belgian press and public, Van Rysselberghe became one of Seurat’s several acolytes and a chief exponent of Neo-Impressionism, developing his own version of the style over the years to come.

Another such admirer of Seurat was the painter Henri Edmond Cross. Van Rysselberghe and Cross became close friends, and it was Cross who persuaded Van Rysselberghe whilst on a bicycling trip together to relocate to live in St Clair, near Le Lavandou on the Côte d’Azur where Cross was already a resident. With the move, Van Rysselberghe’s close adherence to a pure pointillist technique mellowed, and his palette absorbed the distinctive, warm and sublimely variegated hues of the Mediterranean.

His brother, the architect Octave Van Rysselberghe designed and built him a house and studio there, into which Van Rysselberghe moved in 1911, and where he lived for the next fifteen years. Out of season Peïra-Cava, north of Nice and Monaco provided a welcome retreat for Van Rysselberghe, lying some two to three hours drive by car east of St Clair. £10,000-15,000

In 1901, when just 14 years old, the precocious Kochanski had been appointed to be concert master of the nascent Warsaw Philharmonic by the orchestra’s founder, Emil Mlynarski. Among the many accolades that he went on to receive, Kochanski was awarded first prize, with the greatest distinction, by the Brussels Conservatoire in 1903. After the war he and Zosya lived briefly in London, where he gave recitals at the Wigmore Hall, before moving to New York, where he made a sensational debut at Carnegie Hall. From 1924 he taught at the Juilliard School, heading the violin faculty until his death from cancer at the age of 46. The couple had been friends with Tchelitchev since the end of the First World War. Tchelitchev painted Zosya’s portrait in 1919, his first large scale canvas. with Whitford Fine Art, London £600-800

118 GUSTAV KLIMT (AUSTRIAN 1862 - 1918) Kneeling female nude from the front signed with initials G.K. (lower right), inscribed R (lower right corner) black chalk on buff paper with the water mark VIDALON - LES - ANNONAY (near top edge) sheet size: 48.5 x 31.5 cm (19 x 12 1/2 in) There is a sketch of an arm and breast on the reverse.

PROVENANCE: Carl Reininghaus (1857-1929), Vienna (Klimt’s annotation of the present work with the initial R in the lower right corner confirms that this was one of a number of studies for the Beethoven Frieze owned by Reininghaus. A successful industrialist, Reninghaus was one of the most significant collectors of contemporary art in Austria at the end of the 19th century. A patron of both Egon Schiele and Klimt, he acquired Klimt’s finished Beethoven Frieze together with related sketches for the project to save it from destruction following its exhibition at the Vienna Secession in 1902.)

August and Serena Lederer, Vienna Erich Lederer, Vienna (son of the above) Sale, Sotheby Parke Bernett, New York, 16th May 1979, lot 61 Purchased at the above sale by the parent’s of the present owner EXHIBITED: London, Piccadilly Gallery, 1973 & New York, Spencer A. Samuels & Co, no. 29 (illustrated in the catalogue)

Max Klinger whose sculpture of Beethoven was positioned in the centre of the hall. Intended just for the duration of the show, Klimt painted his vast mural - 7 ft in height by 112 ft in length - (2 x 34 metres) directly onto the walls of the first room the public entered. Attracting nearly 60,000 visitors, the exhibition was one of the most successful mounted by the Secession, and it proved to be a turning point in Klimt’s fortunes. After the show ended the mural was preserved and is now on permanent display in the basement of the Secession building in Vienna.

Klimt conceived his frieze as a celebration of mankind’s search for happiness in a suffering world in which the individual is forced to contend both with the external forces of evil and personal self-doubt. Strobl catalogues the present work as being one of the studies for Nagender Kummer (Gnawing grief) in the frieze.

But according to Dr Marian Bisanz-Prakken, the figure originally belonged to the first group of figures in the frieze called Die Leiden der schwachen Menschheit (The suffering of weak humanity) which Klimt developed into a working sketch of a kneeling male, but eventually chose to omit from the finished composition. For the kneeling male see: Gustav Klimt, Painting, Design and Modern Life, Exh. cat., Liverpool 2008, pp.

80-81.

119 ARR MIKULAS MEDEK (CZECH 1926 - 1971) Abstract figure signed, dated and dedicated For Mrs and Mr Eli Wallitt / with many / greetings / M. Medek ‘69 (lower right) pen and ink wash and gouache 56 x 37 cm (22 x 14 1/2 in) PROVENANCE: Acquired from the artist by Mr and Mrs Eli Wallitt in 1969 The mysterious spectral presence of the present composition confirms Medek’s position as one of the most original voices within the Czech visual arts to emerge since the Second World War. Undeterred by the strictures of the Communist government of the day, the artist was persistent in his quest for creative freedom. And the unique character of Medek’s work remains as sinister and startling to us now as it was when the artist was alive.

In style and composition the work bears some comparison with the paintings and sculptures of Max Ernst: the worked surface, the forms and symbols, the abstraction of figural elements, the essential flatness of the motif. But unlike Ernst, whose work always retained an underlying sense of decoration, this work incorporates no such distraction. Rather it exhibits an unremitting sense of anonymity and dislocation, the mouth and beak emerging from the darkness with an aggressive impersonality.

That Surrealism informed Medek’s style is not surprising. Prague had been a hot-bed of Surrealist activity since the 1920s. Up until the Second World War and well into the 1950s there were many and diverse exchanges between Surrealists in Paris and their counter parts in Prague. But as divisions and dissensions grew among the group in the post-War years, so Medek retreated from an overtly figurative style, to create a wholly new more inscrutable aesthetic during the 1960s. The tenor of his work reflected the political climate, Medek’s anxious imagery suggesting the repression of the country during Communist rule, and the hectoring of the Soviet Union in particular. £800-1,200

123 MARSDEN HARTLEY (AMERICAN 1877 1943) Two Shells bears signature Marsden Hartley (lower right) in pencil pen and black ink over traces of pencil inscribed Estate 447-A (verso) 34 x 25cm (13 1/2 x 10in) - sheet size Stamps and labels on the backboard: Eva Lee’s Gallery, 19A Cutlet Mill Road, Great Neck, N.Y. (stamped) Washburn Gallery, 42 East 57th Street New York, N.Y. 10022, stock no. 7438 Executed in 1936, the present work is one of a series of drawings and paintings of shells, star fish, bones, and other beach detritus that Hartley executed in Nova Scotia that year.

The drawing was part of the artist’s estate as recorded in Elizabeth McCausland’s research papers from the 1940s and 1950s on Marsden Hartley’s work in the Archives of American Art, Washington DC, USA. One of the leading artists of American Modernism, Marsden Hartley’s unique style drew on vibrant colours and geometric abstraction but also a deep feeling for landscape.

As evident in Two Shells, Hartley was a skilled draughtsman, attuned to the minutiae of natural forms.

Born in Lewiston, Maine, Hartley moved with his family to Ohio in 1893 where he studied at the Cleveland School of Art. Hartley’s work caught the attention of the school’s trustees, who granted him the financial means to continue studying in New York City for five years, beginning in 1899 at the Shinnecock Hills School of Art directed by William Merritt Chase and the National Academy of Design. In 1912 he travelled to Paris, where he was attracted to the work of the Post-Impressionists, Fauvists and Cubists, notably the work of Paul Cézanne and Henri Matisse, and formed relationships with key members of the French avant-garde, including Gertrude Stein, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Robert Delaunay. From these formative travels, Hartley spent much of the next 25 years living further afield, notably Berlin, Bermuda, Mexico, the American Southwest, and Nova Scotia (where he drew the present work), before returning to his native State of Maine in 1937 where he reached the pinnacle of his

artistic achievement in his iconic seascapes, landscapes, and figurative works.

The present work will be included in the online catalogue Marsden Hartley Legacy Project: The Complete Paintings and Works on Paper, being prepared by Gail R. Scott at Bates College Museum of Art, Lewiston, Maine USA. We are grateful to Gail R. Scott for her assistance in cataloguing this work. £1,000-1,500

Harald Mahrenholz was from a cultured Jewish family. His maternal grandfather had been a cellist, his mother was a concert pianist, and his brother was a highly regarded portrait and fashion photographer. In his home city of Berlin Mahrenholz studied in the studio of the Expressionist painter Ludwig Meidner, and subsequently worked for the stage and film director Max Reinhardt. From Berlin he moved to Paris, where he came under the influence of the Fauve painter and society portraitist Kees Van Dongen, was introduced to Matisse and Picasso, and met Christian Dior. Dior, then a young co-director of the newly See page 5 for more information regarding fees

established Galerie Jacques Bonjean on Rue de la Boétie, took up Mahrenholz’s work, exhibiting his paintings alongside others that he championed, from Leonor Fini, Salvador Dali and Joan Miró to neoRomantics Eugène and Léonide Berman and Pavel Tchelitchew. Through Dior the painter was introduced to the Parisian intelligentsia and beau-monde amongst them Gertrude Stein and Coco Chanel.

Mahrenholz moved to London in the late 1930s where he continued to paint, but also set up a haute couture salon on Curzon Street in Mayfair. His clients included Princess Margaret, Margot Fonteyn, Barbara Hutton, the Duchess of Argyll and Vivien Leigh. He was introduced to Daniel Wildenstein by fellow designers Elizabeth Arden and Coco Chanel.

Wildenstein held a one-man show of Mahrenholz’s paintings at his New Bond Street gallery in 1947. £300-500 35

Van Couver was one of several names adopted by Hermanus II Koekkoek. His father, Hermanus Koekkoek Snr (1815-1882), was a well established painter who encouraged his son to follow in his footsteps. Koekkoek Jnr achieved success not only in his native Holland but also in his adopted home of Britain. In order to avoid confusion between his work and that of his father’s, Koekkoek junior began to paint under different pseudonyms, often signing his work Jan van Couver, as in the present lot. Between 1859 and 1869 he traveled back and forth between Holland and England, eventually settling in London in 1869. £300-500

With the outbreak of the First World War, however, Brumm’s husband retreated from Merseyside politics and the couple moved south with their two daughters to 12 Harley House, Regent’s Park, London. In the present work she signed herself Brum with a single m, possibly to downplay the German origin of her married name.

There he met Boris Schatz (1866 -1932), the founder of the Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts in Jerusalem, where Schatz persuaded him to continue his studies, before returning to the Art Academy in Petrograd.

Forced to flee Russia because of the pogroms at the time of the Revolution, he emigrated to Israel in 1919, settling with his family in Jerusalem, before moving to the Bitanya commune in Galilee.

From 1924 to 1928, Litvinovsky participated in exhibitions of the Jewish Artists Association at the Jerusalem Citadel and shows at the Ohel Theatre in Tel Aviv. In 1926, he designed the set for the Habimah production of The Dybbuk, under the direction of Menahem Gnessin, and met the actress Hanna Rovina who became a favourite model. In the 1930s, he made several trips to Paris, where he encountered the art of Matisse, Picasso, Rouault, and artists of the Jewish School of Paris. In 1935, he held his first solo exhibition at the Bezalel National Museum, and in 1939 was awarded the Dizengoff Prize.

During the 1930s he and his family shared a house with Moshe Mokady. Together the two artists established a painting studio. ÂŁ1,000-1,500

Property from a Private Collection, London GEORGE WILLIAM MOTE (BRITISH 1832-1909) Logging in a country vail oil on canvas 63 x 77 cm (24 3/4 x 30 1/4 in) PROVENANCE: Harold William Smith (1895-1984), grandfather of the present owner (acquired by the late 1930s. Smith was a painter and decorative artist born in Moseley, Birmingham. He exhibited at the Royal Academy and the RBSA, to which he was elected a member in 1938. One of his many decorative projects included a mural commission for Cadbury’s Bournville factory.)

Mote was self taught, and worked in his formative years as gardener to Sir Thomas Phillips of Middle Hall near Broadway in Worcestershire, one of the most acquisitive and eccentric bibliomanes in history.

On leaving Sir Thomas’s employ Mote subsequently painted full time, exhibiting regularly at the Royal Academy between 1857-73.

The painter’s best and most characterful works, as in the present example, suggest some of the obsessive qualities that he almost certainly shared with the eccentric Sir Thomas. Mote’s long appreciation for and understanding of nature instilled into him as a gardener is abundantly clear in the extraordinary high definition of the vegetation, which exhibits something of the fastidiousness of the style of Richard Dadd.

Lovingly detailed, Mote clearly takes as much pleasure from painting every crevice of the nether regions of the uprooted tree

60

as he does in portraying the forthright honesty of the game keeper. And his brush captures the surrounding vegetation, including dead wood, lichen, fungi, and leaves with a similarly knowing forensic intensity.

More than being just an exquisitely observed bucolic country scene, however, the landscape suggests an underlying political message. In the meadow in the middle ground loggers have felled a numbered tree trunk that they are preparing to drag away, perhaps for use in the royal shipyards. Yet the massive form of the fallen oak in the foreground, similarly marked, seems to have come down of its own volition, the wood showing signs of infestation, canker and disease. In similar contrast, whilst the frank face of the gun toting game keeper surveys the viewer, hidden from his sight by the tree stump, a poacher steals a recently killed hare in broad daylight. And thrusting upwards on the right side, almost as high as the cultivated oak trees on the left, is a single wild thorny briar that flourishes insolently tall, as it stands proud against a clear blue sky. Mote’s incorporarion of visual metaphors into his composition, loaded with contemporary meaning, cleverly hint at the underlying political and social discontent of the day. £2,000-3,000

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.

3.4 Cancellation of the sale At the fall of the hammer, the contract is formed between the Buyer and CA Ltd and is binding thereafter.

Under no circumstances can the Buyer cancel the sale.

CA Ltd may at its entire discretion, during or after the auction, cancel the sale of the Lot or reoffer and resell the Lot if it becomes aware of any error or dispute of any nature, whether or not title has passed to the Buyer, and up to a period of 6 months after the said sale.

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 (where are no offered advanced physical viewing times), the Buyer shall have a 14 day right to retract, after receipt of the Lot, under EU Consumer Law. Public auctions are not covered by this right to retract.

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 made by cash, debit, credit card or bank transfer. We do not accept cheques. We do not currently accept American Express.

CA ltd adheres strictly to current anti-money laundering regulations and reserves the right to refuse payment or cancel the sale of any lot, should suspicion or evidence of regulation infringement arise. The 2020 guidelines reference ‘Art Works’, but are as yet to be fully defined. As such, CA Ltd reserves the right to adapt buying/selling rules at any time, in order to maintain compliance.

Cash payments shall not be receivable for amounts over €10,000, regardless of the payment being for one or multiple Lots. As of 2020, new directives also extend to other forms of payment where the amount is in excess of €10,000 and this may require further information sharing covering both buyers and sellers.

Should it encounter contravention of said regulations, or is unable to bring buyers/sellers into line with said regulations through advice and support, CA ltd reserves the right to cancel any lot transaction and offer said lots to underbidders and where applicable will notify the relevant authority of the suspected contravention if deemed intentional.

96

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 21% plus VAT is charged on Wine & Spirits Lots.

The VAT payable varies by symbol as below: No Symbol: The standard rate of VAT is charged on the premium under the Auctioneers Margin Scheme in accordance with Art. 333 of 2006/112/EC. Standard UK VAT will be charged on the buyers’ premium and invoiced on an inclusive basis. †: Normal VAT rules apply and the standard rate of VAT will be charged on both hammer price and premium. *: These lots have been imported from outside the EU for sale and placed under the Temporary Admission regime. Import VAT is payable at 5% on the hammer price. VAT at 20% will be added to the buyer’s premium but will not be shown separately on the invoice.

In order to receive a refund of VAT amounts/Import VAT (as applicable) non-EU buyers must:

(a) have registered to bid with an address outside of the EU; and (b) export the lot from the EU within 30 days of collection for * lots and 3 months of collection for all other lots and immediately afterwards provide us with satis­factory proof of export. (c) Details of the documents which you must provide to us to show satisfactory proof of export/shipping are available from our Finance team. A processing fee of £35.00 per invoice is charged to check shipping/export docu­ments. (d) No VAT amounts or Import VAT will be refunded where the total refund (after deducting the processing fee) is under £35. (e) If you are re-exporting a * lot outside of the EU, you must either use Chiswick Auctions Ltd TA Shipper or arrange for us to transfer the TA from our shipper to your own TA or bond account.

4.3 Taxes The Buyer is responsible for paying VAT on any Lot, above hammer price and Buyer’s premium. The rate applicable shall be the legal rate at the date of the sale.

Goods such as books and antique books, music, maps and charts etc. are subject to zerorated VAT. In addition, any import taxes that may be incurred shall be paid by the Buyer above hammer price, VAT and Buyer’s premium. The present paragraph applies in particular to imports within the United-States and Australia. The Buyer is advised to verify such matters prior to the sale.

4.4 Artist Resale Rights / Droit de Suite Lots marked with ‘ARR’ may be subject to a levy.

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:

• From 0 to €50,000 4% • From €50,000.01 to €200,000 3% • From €200,000.01 to €350,000 1% • From €350,000.01 to €500,000 0.5% • Exceeding €500,000 0.25%

• To cancel the sale • To charge interest at 4% per annum above the base rate of Lloyds Bank Plc. • To resell the Lot on such terms by auction or otherwise entirely at CA Ltd’s discretion.

The Buyer will be liable for all costs including legal fees incurred in the sale and will remain liable for any shortfall arising upon sale.

• To offset against any sums which CA Ltd may owe the Buyer the outstanding sums unpaid by the said Buyer

• Where the Buyer owes sums to CA Ltd in respect of different transactions, to discretionarily apply any sum paid by the Buyer for discharge of any owed sums.

• To refuse entry to the Buyer at any future auction and/or reject any future bids by the Buyer and/or seek a deposit from the Buyer entirely in the discretion of CA Ltd. • To exercise a lien over the Buyer’s property in the possession of CA Ltd as collateral for any outstanding sums owed and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any such property, whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way to the extent permitted by Law. • To commence legal proceedings for the recovery of the total amount due together with interest, legal fees and costs.

• To take such other action as is permissible by Law and in the discretion of CA Ltd. 4.6 Collection Purchased Lots can be collected from the auction room after the sale has ended or between 10am and 6pm up until close of business on the Friday following the sale. Special arrangements may be made for collection on Saturday at CA Ltd’s discretion. Any delay in collection must be communicated clearly to CA Ltd in advance of the collection deadline and CA Ltd reserves the right to impose charges thereafter at its utter discretion (see 4.7).

4.7 Storage CA Ltd offers a discretionary 14 days free storage on purchased and unsold Lots from the date of the sale. Thereafter Lots not collected shall incur storage charges of £5.00 per lot, per day or part thereof for smalls and pictures (defined as anything that can be handled by one person) and £10.00 per lot, per day for furniture and other larger lots. CA Ltd shall be entitled to retain said Lots until all sums due have been paid to CA Ltd. If any lot remains uncollected 21 days after the sale, storage charges shall thereafter be £10/£20 (smalls/larger items) per day and CA Ltd shall, in accordance with the Law, have the right to sell the purchased Lot to recover payment of storage charges outstanding. 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.

4.8 Shipping Any shipping costs that may arise subsequent to the sale shall be at the Buyer’s expense. Such costs may include but not limited to postage, import and export permits where required and any other licence necessary for goods to be shipped outside of the European Union.

CA Ltd does not offer insurance for shipping. However, CA Ltd may arrange insurance upon the Buyer’s request and at the Buyer’s expense.

CA Ltd cannot be held responsible for any damages that may be incurred to goods prior to the fall of the hammer.

4.9 Loss or Damage CA Ltd does not accept liability for loss or damage occurring to Lots after the sale. CA Ltd will use reasonable efforts when handling Lots, 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 authentic, 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.

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.
