Literature
Alain Ramié 407
In 1946, during a visit to a friend’s home in Golfe-Juan, Pablo Picasso and his companion, Louis Fort, attended the annual potters’ exhibition in nearby Vallauris. There, Picasso was captivated by the work of the Madoura pottery studio and introduced to its founders, Suzanne and Georges Ramié. A year later, he returned to Vallauris and began an extraordinarily prolific collaboration with the Ramiés. Between 1947 and 1971, Picasso produced thousands of ceramic pieces, drawn to the medium’s tactile immediacy and its potential for reproducibility an aspect that mirrored his enduring fascination with printmaking.
Visage et Hibou is a particularly evocative work, as both abstracted faces and owls became recurring motifs within Picasso’s visual lexicon. The artist’s interest in owls began in 1946, when he encountered an injured owl within the Musée d’Antibes, which at the time served as his studio. Together with his muse Françoise Gilot and the photographer Michel Sima, Picasso discovered that the bird had a wounded claw. The trio cared for the owl, bandaging its injury, purchasing a cage, feeding it dead mice, and eventually bringing it to Paris to complete it’s recovery. Gilot later recounted Picasso’s fiery relationship with the animal, describing how he would scold the owl after it bit his fingers, perhaps an ironic similarity between the wild bird and Picasso’s own nature.
Owls, often symbolic of wisdom, have long been associated with the Greek goddess Athena. In channelling this mythic creature through the medium of pottery, Picasso subtly alludes to archaic Greek ceramics- particularly the vases and amphorae that so profoundly inspired him. His fascination with classical Greek antiquity significantly shaped his decision to work in ceramics, allowing him to merge modernist abstraction with the aesthetic traditions of the ancient world.
In Visage et Hibou, the viewer encounters a delicately perched owl rendered with wide, gentle eyes and to the reverse a softly abstracted human face. Created twelve years after the artist’s initial and deeply personal encounter with the owl in Antibes, the piece attests to Picasso’s enduring engagement with the symbolic and expressive potential of this enigmatic bird.

Literature
Bridget Riley: The Complete Prints 1962-2020, Thames & Hudson, 2020, BRS 41
Bridget Riley is one of Britain’s most influential and celebrated artists, renowned for her lifelong exploration of colour, form, and visual perception. Raised along the Cornish coast, Riley was deeply influenced by the ever-changing landscapes and shifting light of the sea and sky, an early immersion in natural form that would later inform her artistic language.
As a student, Riley was drawn to the Pointillists, who used abstract daubs of colour to build a complete composition. She adopted their attention to optical phenomena but forged a distinct path in the 1960s with her iconic black-and-white paintings, becoming a central figure in the Op Art movement.
Printmaking occupies a unique position within Riley’s practice. “Printmaking has been a very valuable addition to my working life as a painter,” she noted, “allowing me to extend particular trains of thought.” Riley is known to make preparatory works for paintings and often produces tangential images which are later revisited and developed as prints- not as reproductions, but standalone explorations whose complexity delineates that they can only be explored in the printed medium. While her paintings are often monumental, the scale of prints is attune to the viewer- we are invited to read the work on an intimate scale, with the composition tightly framed in the white border of the sheet.
Riley greatly relies on the medium of print for her interrogation of colour relationships. She has described her printed works as closer to conceptual art than her paintings, due to the experimental nature of image-reading she explores. Through print, she is able to isolate and reconfigure colour relationships, testing how subtle shifts in placement can transform the viewer’s experience.
Start is a seminal example of Riley’s mature practice, embodying her signature rhythmic abstraction and visual dynamism. Riley began experimenting with larger sections of colour in the late 1990s, and introduced a new element: the curve. Of particular significance, Start was the first print to feature the curvilinear form. The composition consists of vertical, undulating bands of rich blue, green, and yellow, which appear to shift and ripple like waves.
Riley harnesses the screenprint medium to deliver thick, opaque layers of colour with clarity and precision. This allows for sharp transitions between hues, intensifying the work’s optical effects, inviting the viewer’s eye to travel across the surface.

The artists featured are Gillian Ayres, Christiane Baumgartner, Gordon Cheung, Michael Craig-Martin, Ian Davenport, Edmund de Waal, Jan Dibbets, Jim Dine, Marie Harnett, Howard Hodgkin, Ben Johnson, Allen Jones, Langlands & Bell, Ian McKeever, Julian Opie, Mimmo Paladino, Lisa Ruyter, Joe Tilson, Paul Winstanley, Richard Woods and Catherine Yass.
This portfolio was commissioned by Cristea Roberts Gallery to commemorate Alan Cristea’s contributions to print publishing, marking his 20th anniversary at the gallery. Twenty-one of the gallery’s artists were invited to create a print in an edition of forty. The artists were given complete creative freedom, resulting in a diverse collection that showcases a wide range of printmaking techniques, including woodcut, etching, carborundum, lithography, and screenprinting. The prints further vary in size and paper, underscoring the richness and versatility of the medium.
Some artists chose to pay tribute to Alan Cristea directly- Jim Dine and Julian Opie, for instance, created portraits of the renowned gallerist. Others, like Michael Craig-Martin, offered more playful nods to Cristea’s personal habits with a screenprint of a sturdy ashtray referencing his fondness for smoking. Others are iconic of the individuals oeuvre with Ian Davenport’s classic stripes and Hodgkin’s brilliantly painterly composition.
The gallery also held an accompanying exhibition featuring works from its 20-year history, including highlights from Alan Cristea’s personal collection.

Sir Grayson Perry’s Map of an Englishman is a monumental etching which reflects the artist’s enduring engagement with language, culture, humour, and the symbolism of cartography. In this imagined island landscape, Perry reconfigures the identity of an Englishman through a psychological, emotional, and comic lens. Stylistically, it draws on the visual language of 17th- and 18th-century cartography, with elaborate detailing that both honours and subverts the tradition of mapping the unknown. Rather than geographical features, the terrain is composed of states of mind, behavioural tendencies, phrases, and inner feelings. Lakes, forests, and towns bear names such as The Moment, Straight-Jacket, and Botox, charting a complex internal world rather than an external one.
The work was created in 2004, the year after Perry won the Turner Prize- becoming the first ceramicist to receive the prestigious award. Though widely celebrated for ceramics, Perry’s practice is expansive, encompassing tapestry, sculpture, and print, particularly woodcut and etching- mediums rooted in artistry and craft. That same year, Perry joined the Victoria Miro Gallery, London, and was introduced to master printmaker Hugh Stoneman.
Stoneman, who opened his first studio in 1972, was widely regarded as one of Britain’s most skilled printmakers. He established Stoneman Graphics in 1995, where this work was ultimately produced. The involvement of a printer of Stoneman’s calibre was essential in translating Perry’s intricate, hand-drawn aesthetic into print. Stoneman gave Perry sheets of acetate on which the artist could draw directly; the drawings were then transferred onto four copper etching plates, capturing the spontaneity of his stream-of-consciousness approach. Perry has described the landform as a metaphor for the human brain, he worked from upper left to the lower right corner, with darker psychological content, such as Sin and Codswallop, occupying the lower right quadrant, evoking subconscious or repressed areas of the mind. The four etching plates were meticulously printed onto a single sheet of Rives paper, a technically demanding process that enhances the image’s richness, precision, and tonal depth.
Map of an Englishman is the first etching Perry made and was published by Charles Booth-Clibborn at the Paragon Press. The work stands as one of Perry’s most iconic prints, exemplifying his witty exploration of identity, class, memory, and the personal mythologies underpinning national consciousness. Other impressions from this edition are held in major art institutions, attesting to its significance within Perry’s oeuvre. Through the map format, Perry navigates and unifies disparate ideas, both intimate and universal, within a single, symbolically charged terrain.

£7,000 - 10,000
Kui Hua Zi is a celebrated body of work comprised of hand-crafted porcelain sunflower seeds, originally conceived by Ai Weiwei for the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern in 2010. The monumental installation filled the 1,000-square-metre space with a 10cm layer of meticulously produced seeds, creating a powerful sensory and conceptual experience.
Each porcelain seed was handcrafted in Jingdezhen, China, a town synonymous with centuries of imperial porcelain craftsmanship. The production process involved over thirty distinct stages, including the hand-painting of each individual seed, resulting in millions of subtly unique sculptures.
Sunflower seeds carry deep cultural resonance in China. Under Mao Zedong’s rule, the image of the sunflower bending toward the sun symbolized the Chinese people’s devotion to their leader. Ai Weiwei subverts this iconography, inviting reflection on conformity, anonymity, and state control. Viewed en masse, the individuality of each seed disappears, evoking the loss of personal identity within a collectivist regime.
Simultaneously, sunflower seeds are a humble, beloved snack across China. Historically they have been an accessible pleasure during times of hardship. This duality, the seeds as both political metaphor and symbol of everyday resilience, lies at the heart of the work.
This jar edition offers a miniature yet profound encounter with the body of work. It captures the tension between mass production and individual craftsmanship, between political symbolism and personal identity, providing a contemplative glimpse into the social fabric of modern China.

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, authenticity 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 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 to 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 at 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 unique bidding paddle prior to bidding in 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 commission bids set at the same price, the first registered commission bid will take priority.
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. In addition to having our own in-house online bidding platform, some sales are also offered with online live bidding by third party platforms, CA Ltd is not responsible for any issues that may arise during registration or untilising said platforms. CA ltd encourages prospective bidders to bid directly with Chiswick Live or via traditional direct in-house means wherever possible.
2.6 Bidding on behalf of someone
A Buyer may bid by proxy. In this event, proof of identity of both the Buyer and the proxy must be communicated to CA Ltd prior to the sale. A copy of the mandate shall also be required.
2.7 Bidding on an item
Bid incrementation is at the auctioneer’s entire discretion.
2.8 Video transmission
For the purpose of the sale, Lots may be displayed on video during the auction. In the event of transmission issues, CA Ltd shall not be held responsible for any subsequent outcome.
2.9 Online-only auctions
Some auctions may only be available to bidders via an online platform sale. In this event, Buyers have a 14 day period from the receipt of goods to withdraw from the sale, in accordance with EU Consumer Law. This returns policy relates only to lots where physical viewing of lots prior to sale is not offered by CA Ltd.
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.
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.
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 26% on the hammer price plus VAT on that premium 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 UK 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.

4.4 Taxes

4.5 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.

• Where the Buyer owes sums to CA Ltd in respect of different transactions, to discretionary 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.
4.7 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).
4.8 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.
4.9 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.
4.10 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.
4.11 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.
4.12 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.
4.13 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.
4.14 Warranties
CA Ltd does not provide the Buyer with warranties relating to any Lot, unless required by Law.
4.15 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.
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. GLOSSARY OF PICTURE CATALOGUING TERMS
Any Statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date, age, provenance and condition is a statement of opinion and is not to be taken as a statement of fact. The Company reserve the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expert or authority considered by them to be reliable.
1 JMW Turner: In our opinion a work by the artist. When the artist’s forename(s) is not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not, indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named.

3 Studio of JMW Turner: In our opinion probably a work by an unknown hand in the studio of the artist, which may or may not have been executed under the artist’s direction.
4 Circle of JMW Turner: In our opinion a work by an as yet unidentified but distinct hand, closely associated with the named artist and of the period, but not necessarily his pupil.
5 Style of; Follower of JMW Turner: In our opinion a work by a painter working in the artist’s style, but not necessarily his pupil.
6 Manner of JMW Turner: In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date.
