DR PETER WAKELY, FRS (1925-2020) INDUSTRIALIST, MATHEMATICIAN, COLLECTOR A man of parts, Peter Wakely was, latterly despite increasing infirmity, an habitué of salerooms and antique shops throughout England, from the early 1960’s almost to his death late last year.

He maintained meticulous records, valuable in themselves for the light they shed on changing fashions and fluctuations in prices over so long a period. When his ability became limited, he insisted on maintaining his regular view day visits in the company of one of his sons.

Afterwards, with unfailing charm he invariably presented a list, sometimes a long one, of telephone bids.

For a man so expert in computing, he preferred the human contact of the telephone to online bidding.

A distinguished mathematician in industry, his PhD was in the theory of nuclear structure and atomic physics. After a few years he moved away from academia into industry. Appointed to the Mathematics Group in English Electrics’ Mechanical Engineering Laboratory near Leicester, he later became Managing Director and subsequently Chairman of Associated Engineering Limited in Rugby, where he was involved in the development of the automotive cruise control system.

He was a founder member of the Institute of Mathematics and its third President (1968-1969). An abiding interest was the need to improve communication between the academic community and industry. He was invited to serve on a succession of panels, including the influential Cockcroft Committee into the future of mathematics.

Footnotes to many of the lots which follow record the place of purchase and the price paid, sometimes in pre-decimal pounds, shillings and pence.

363 A RARE ENGLISH ELECTRIC MAGNETIC DRUM STORAGE UNIT FOR THE DEUCE COMPUTER, 1957 on substantial cream enamelled oblong iron base with chromium plated carrying handles, Perspex cover, 40.5cm high including cover, base 26.5 x 56cm, maker’s enamelled labels ENGLISH ELECTRIC/NELSON RESEARCH LABORATORIES NW101/1333 Ns 1296 Provenance: GEC (Successor to English Electric Co) by which presented to Dr Peter Wakely on his retirement.

Futuristic and awe inspiring, the magnetic storage drum of the DEUCE, an early British computer that symbolises the “white heat” of technological development in Britain between the end of WWII and Harold Wilson’s memorable speech of 1963. Based on a design by Alan Turing (1912-1954) the DEUCE (Digital Electronic Universal Computing Engine) 1955, was a first generation or vacuum tube computer. The magnetic memory drum held 32 kB and the machine required a great deal of electricity to power its 1450 thermionic valves. Another example of the DEUCE memory drum is in the Science Museum, London (1967-1979). According to the late Dr Wakely, the original cost of the memory drum was £5000, the equivalent of about £135,000 today. A probable total of 33 DEUCE computers were built and supplied between February 1955 and 1960. Customers included the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment, Aldermaston, Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, the UK Atomic Energy Authority, Admiralty Research Establishment, National Physical Laboratory and several universities. Two were supplied in February 1958 to the English Electric Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, Whetstone, Leicester, where Dr Wakely was employed 1955-1970. Asked what he felt would be an appropriate gift to mark his retirement, he suggested “an English Electric nameplate” [lot 364]. Instead, to his surprise, he was also presented with the DEUCE magnetic drum, a singularly apt choice since Peter Wakely, had been closely involved with the DEUCE computer from its arrival at the Laboratory until decommissioning in about 1964 £1,000 - £1,500

389 19TH CENTURY SCHOOL BUST OF LORD BYRON statuary marble on marble socle, 45cm high Provenance: Harold Ward, his attorney’s sale in these ‘rooms, 6th February 2019, £34,980 This fine early bust of Byron, or another example of it, is accurately depicted in a drawing of the early biographer of the poet, John Galt (1779-1839).

From ‘The Gallery of Illustrations of Literary Characters’ by Daniel Maclise, RA (1806-1870), the engravings of the drawings were published in Fraser’s Magazine between 1830 and 1838. The portrait of Galt is plt VII from the series of 81, appearing in the first year.

Both the drawings and Galt’s biography, despite the shortcomings of the latter, proved successful and were being re-issued at least as late as the 1880’s. The present memorial bust by an unknown sculptor is evidently rare, since no other example that conforms so precisely to that in Maclise’s drawing appears to be recorded, leaving open the probability that its execution pre-dates 1830 and that it was possibly commissioned by, or for, Galt himself.

Mellors & Kirk is pleased to acknowledge the kind assistance of Dr Julian North, Associate Professor in Nineteenth-Century English Literature, University of Leicester. £7,000 - £9,000

436 A FINE ENGLISH EMBROIDERED MINIATURE OF CHARLES I LONDON, C1660-70 silk and metal thread, based on the 1641 engraving by Wencelas Hollar, inscribed Deus Meus Est Rupes Meaa Psal: 18, 13 x 10.8cm, embossed copper gilt frame Provenance: Sold in these ‘rooms September 20, 2018, £30,000.

This spectacular example of English Restoration needlework of the highest quality is one of small group of portraits of the king by the same unknown professional hand. All are closely based on Hollar’s well known engraving of Charles I wearing the ribbon of the Order of the Garter. Such is the fidelity with which the portrait is rendered that it justifies the description of a ‘cabinet miniature’, one intended for display in a cabinet or on a table. The quotation from Psalm 18 (v 2-3) is King David’s invoking God’s protection from his enemies. An identical example is in the Metropolitan Museum, New York. It was acquired from Percival D Griffiths in 1938. Two are in the Victoria & Albert Museum and another is in the Wallace Collection, London. Nevinson (see below) considers this select group, of which the present example is hitherto unrecorded, date from the first few years of the reign of Charles II. As such they represent some of the earliest evidence of the cult of the ‘Martyr King’. In several respects they relate to the miniatures incorporated as centrepieces in embroidered bindings, such as that on a copy of the Eikon Basilike (1649) although none of these can be dated with certainty to the Commonwealth. Nor is there a particular reason to link them to the Broderers Company and although metal thread and purl wire is seen on some bindings of the period, as it is hard on the hands and the professional embroideress, whether working in her small workshop or domestically, would have certainly used silk in preference, or wool for tent stitch on canvas, with metal braid reserved for borders or edges, as here. The embroidered portraits of Charles I at his trial (in a hat) are technically different featuring brick stitch, for example on the King’s cloak. They date from later in the 17th century.

MELLORS & KIRK CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS Introduction and notice to Buyers The conditions set out below and all other terms, conditions and notices set out in Mellors & Kirk’s Catalogues, announced by the particular auctioneer conducting the sale or posted in the saleroom by way of notice (together “the Conditions”) form the terms on which Mellors & Kirk contracts, as auctioneer, with any actual or prospective Buyer or Vendor.

The Conditions apply to all aspects of the relationship between Mellors & Kirk and any actual or prospective Buyer or Vendor regarding the sale, purchase or holding by Mellors & Kirk of goods and any appraisal, inspection or valuation of such goods that Mellors & Kirk is required by any actual or prospective Buyer or Vendor to undertake, therefore please read them carefully. Any prospective Buyer should pay particular attention to the Conditions before bidding. All prospective Buyers, by making a bid for any goods advertised in Catalogues, acknowledge that their attention has been drawn to the Conditions and that they are bound by them.

As auctioneer, Mellors & Kirk generally acts in every respect relating to any goods deposited with them for sale and the sale thereof as agent of the Vendor and any concluded contract for sale of any such goods will be made between the Vendor and the Buyer. Any goods delivered to the premises of Mellors & Kirk shall be deemed to be consigned for sale. In delivering to or requesting Mellors & Kirk to arrange for the collection of any item for delivery to Mellors & Kirk’s premises, all Vendors acknowledge that their attention has been drawn to the Conditions and that they are bound by them.

As auctioneer, Mellors & Kirk disclaims any responsibility or liability for any default by either the Vendor or the Buyer in connection with fulfilling any of their respective obligations under any contract for sale of goods auctioned by Mellors & Kirk concluded between the Vendor and the Buyer and/or any of the Conditions.

Mellors & Kirk is dependent upon the Vendor for much of the relevant factual material pertaining to goods offered for sale. Mellors & Kirk cannot and does not undertake full due diligence on every good offered for sale and/or sold. All prospective Buyers therefore have a responsibility to carry out their own inspection and investigations to satisfy themselves as to the nature of the goods that they are interested in buying. Mellors & Kirk specifically draws the attention of all prospective Buyers to Conditions 4, 5 and 6, which require all prospective Buyers to investigate any goods prior to bidding for such goods and specifically limit the extent

160

to which Mellors & Kirk and the Vendor may be liable in respect of any goods (the exclusions and limitations of liability by Mellors & Kirk being consistent with its role as auctioneer of large quantities of goods of an extremely varied nature).

Mellors & Kirk specifically draws the attention of prospective Vendors to Condition 16, which contains important information as to introduction fees paid by Mellors & Kirk to referrers.

Interpretation of Conditions 1. Definitions (a) In the Conditions, the following terms shall have the following meanings unless the context otherwise requires: • ‘Buyer’ means, in respect of any lot, the person who makes the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer, including such person’s principal when bidding as agent; • ’Buyer’s Premium’ means commission on the Hammer Price realised for the lot in question payable to Mellors & Kirk by the Buyer at a flat rate of 28.8% plus VAT of such Hammer Price; • ‘Online Bidding Fees’ mean the additional charges levied of 4.9% plus Vat via the-saleroom.com; 1.5% plus Vat via mellorsandkirk.com or 3% plus vat via Easylive or a £3 non refundable fee • ‘Catalogue’ includes any advertisement, brochure, estimate, list or other publication of Mellors & Kirk; • ‘Expenses’ means, in relation to the sale or aborted sale of any lot, Mellors & Kirk’s charges and expenses, including (but not limited to) legal expenses, charges and expenses for insurance, Catalogue and other reproductions and illustrations, special advertising and promotion, reproduction rights’ fees and resale royalties, fees for consultancy services and expertisation, taxes, levies, costs of testing, searches or enquiries relating to any lot, carriage, travelling and subsistence costs and postage and packing costs; • ‘Hammer Price’ means the price at which a lot is knocked down by the auctioneer to the Buyer, excluding the Buyer’s Premium, any applicable Expenses and any applicable V.A.T. thereon; • ‘Mellors & Kirk’ means Mellors & Kirk Limited, incorporated and registered in England with company number 2324756 and whose registered office is at 29 Arboretum Street, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire NG1 4JA; • ‘Sale Proceeds’ means the total net amount due to the Vendor by

Buyer’s Premium of 28.8% inclusive of VAT

Mellors & Kirk and is calculated as being the Hammer Price, less the Vendor’s Commission insurance, any applicable Expenses and any applicable V.A.T. thereon; • ‘Vendor’ means the person(s) (including their agent (other than Mellors & Kirk), executors or personal representatives) offering goods for sale at any Mellors & Kirk auction and by whom Mellors & Kirk is authorised to sell such goods. If the Vendor constitutes multiple persons, each shall assume, jointly and severally, all obligations, liabilities, representations, warranties and indemnities of the Vendor as set forth in the Conditions; and • ‘Vendor’s Commission’ means the commission on the Hammer Price realised for the lot in question payable to Mellors & Kirk by the Vendor at a flat rate of 15% plus VAT of such Hammer Price. (b) In these Conditions, words denoting a singular number only shall include the plural and vice versa and references to the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders and vice versa. (c) The headings and sub-headings in the Conditions do not form part of the Conditions themselves but are for convenience only and do not affect their construction. (d) Reference to any statute or statutory provision in the Conditions includes a reference to the statute or statutory provision as from time to time amended, extended or re-enacted.

Conditions of Business principally of application to Buyers 2. Mellors & Kirk’s capacity Mellors & Kirk sells as agent for the Vendor, except from time to time where it has a direct or indirect financial interest in a particular lot (in which case it will act in the capacity of principal). Where Mellors & Kirk sells as agent, any sale will result in a contract made directly between the Vendor and the Buyer 3. Guarantee in respect of deliberate forgeries (a) If Mellors & Kirk sells a lot that subsequently proves to be a deliberate forgery, Mellors & Kirk shall (subject to Conditions 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d)) rescind the sale and refund to the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer in connection with the lot in pounds sterling, or where this is not reasonably possible, in Euros, which shall be the Buyer’s sole remedy against Mellors & Kirk and the Vendor, in place of any other remedy that may be available, and neither Mellors & Kirk nor the Vendor shall be liable for any special, indirect or consequential losses or damages (including, without limitation, for loss of profits or interest). For the purposes of this Condition 3, a

‘deliberate forgery’ means a lot that in Mellors & Kirk’s reasonable opinion is an imitation created to deceive as to age, authorship, culture, date, origin, period or source, where the correct description of such matters is not reflected by the corresponding description in the Catalogue, and which at the date of sale had a value materially less than it would have had if the lot had accorded with the corresponding description in the Catalogue. No lot shall be considered to be a ‘deliberate forgery’ for the purposes of this Condition 3 by reason only of any damage, modification and/or restoration work of any kind (including repainting or over-painting). (b) Subject to Condition 3(d), the guarantee given in Condition 3(a) shall only be available to the Buyer in respect of any lot on condition that, no later than 5 years after the date of sale of that lot, the Buyer must: (i) within 14 days of receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the lot, notify Mellors & Kirk in writing of the Buyer’s view that the lot is a deliberate forgery, specifying the lot number, the date of the auction at which the lot was purchased by the Buyer and the grounds upon which the Buyer has formed such view (which shall be accompanied by any evidence upon which the Buyer relies); and (ii) within 7 days after delivery of such notice, return the lot to Mellors & Kirk in the same condition as prevailed at the date of its sale to the Buyer and be able to transfer good title in the lot to Mellors & Kirk free from any liens, charges, encumbrances or other third party claims arising after such date of sale. (c) Prior to rescinding any sale under Condition 3(a), Mellors & Kirk shall have the right to request the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer’s cost the reports of 2 independent and recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to both Mellors & Kirk and the Buyer, setting out the reasons why the lot in question is considered to be a deliberate forgery and Mellors & Kirk agrees that it will give due and proper consideration to such expert reports. Mellors & Kirk shall not however be bound by any such expert report and reserves the right, in its absolute discretion and at its own expense, to seek the additional independent advice and views of any other expert or authority in making its final determination as to whether the lot in question is a deliberate forgery.

If Mellors & Kirk agrees with the Buyer that the lot in question is a deliberate forgery, then Mellors & Kirk shall refund to the Buyer the costs incurred by the Buyer in obtaining 2 independent expert reports, provided that: (i) such costs were approved in writing by Mellors & Kirk prior to the reports being obtained; and (ii) the Buyer

Lots marked † may be subject to an additional fee. See page 2 for details

MELLORS & KIRK CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS could not reasonably have obtained independent opinions as to the authenticity of the lot in question prior to its sale. (d) Notwithstanding that any particular lot amounts to a deliberate forgery as defined in Condition 3(a), the respective Buyer shall have no rights to receive any refund under Condition 3(a) where: (i) the Catalogue description of the lot in question at the date of its sale accorded with the then generally accepted opinion(s) of scholars and experts at such date or such Catalogue description fairly indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; (ii) the only method of establishing at the date of its sale that the lot in question is a deliberate forgery would have been by means of a scientific or other process not then generally accepted or available for use until after publication of the Catalogue or a process which at the date of publication of the Catalogue was unreasonably expensive, impractical to use or likely to have caused damage or (in Mellors & Kirk’s reasonable opinion) loss of value to the lot; or (iii) the Buyer has either failed to notify Mellors & Kirk or return the lot in question to Mellors & Kirk within the respective period required by Condition 3(b), in respect of which Condition time shall be of the essence. (e) The benefit of the guarantee given

by Mellors & Kirk in this Condition 3 is not capable of being transferred and, in respect of any lot, is solely for the benefit of the respective Buyer of that lot.

4. Catalogue descriptions, condition of lots and Buyer’s obligation to inspect (a) The nature of the lots sold in any of Mellors & Kirk’s auctions is such that they will rarely be in perfect condition and are likely, due to their nature and age, to show signs of wear and tear, damage, other imperfections, restoration or repair.

All lots are sold as shown and/or described and otherwise in the condition they are in at the time of their sale, with all imperfections and errors of description (whether expressly identified in the Catalogue description or not). Illustrations in Catalogues are for identification purposes only. Buyers should also note that Mellors & Kirk have not tested any electrical or mechanical goods prior to their sale (whether in respect of their ability to function, their safety of operation or otherwise) and the Buyer is solely responsible for testing any such goods before bidding for, buying and (in particular) using such goods, any such use being entirely at the Buyer’s own risk. (b) Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of any statement as to age, attribution, authenticity, authorship, condition, date, origin and provenance of any lot, whether or

not such statement forms part of the description of any such lot. Whether any such statement is made orally or in the Catalogue, it is an expression of opinion given honestly after careful consideration and research and in accordance with the standard of care reasonably expected of an auction house of Mellors & Kirk’s standing. It is not, and all prospective Buyers acknowledge that any such statement shall not be taken as being, in any way exhaustive or a statement or representation of fact. All prospective Buyers also acknowledge that the particular auctioneer conducting the sale of any lot may, at such sale and at his discretion, modify any description or statement in the Catalogues regarding that lot. Any such modifications, whether given orally or in writing, are expressions of opinion of the particular auctioneer alone and are not, and all prospective Buyers acknowledge that they are not to be taken as being, in any way exhaustive or statements or representations of fact. No absentee bidder or bidder by telephone, facsimile or other electronic means for any lot that he has purchased may reject that lot on the basis that he was not aware of and/or did not hear any such modification(s) having been made and/or being made by the particular auctioneer conducting the sale of that lot. (c) All prospective Buyers acknowledge that, where the following terms are used in the Catalogue, they shall bear only the meaning given to them in this Condition 4(c) and, in any event, any such use of any such terms shall be a non-exhaustive expression of opinion only: (i) where the artist’s full name is used (or the artist’s initials, if his full name is unrecorded), the work is in our opinion by the artist; (ii) where the expression “attributed to” is used, the work is in our opinion possibly by the artist; (iii) where the term “After” is used, the work is in our opinion a copy of a work by the artist not necessarily of the same date; (iv) where the term “signed/dated/inscribed” is used, the work in our opinion has been signed, dated or inscribed by the artist; and (iii) where the expression “bears signature/date/inscription”, the work in our opinion has not been signed, dated or inscribed by the artist. (d) Lots sold are extremely varied in terms of age, condition and type and may be purchased for a variety of purposes. Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing, no promise is made or warranty given that any lot is or will be fit for any particular purpose. (e) With regard to any lot in which the Buyer is interested in bidding and prior to making any such bid, the Buyer undertakes: (i) to inspect and satisfy himself prior to its sale as to the condition and description of the lot; (ii) to rely on his own judgment

Additional information and condition reports at mellorsandkirk.com

as to whether the lot accords with its description; (iii) particularly in the case of any lot of significant value, to seek any independent expert advice reasonably required (in view of the Buyer’s particular expertise and the value of the lot) to satisfy himself as to the age, attribution, authenticity, authorship, condition, date, origin and/or provenance of the lot; and (iv) not to rely on any illustration of the lot in Catalogues. To assist prospective Buyers, Mellors & Kirk may refer in the Catalogue to serious and obvious faults and imperfections in lots for sale. However, as outlined in Mellors & Kirk’s condition report sent to all prospective bidders for any lot upon their request prior to sale, any such reference(s) that Mellors & Kirk provides is not and does not purport to be in any way exhaustive or a statement or representation of fact and all Buyers will be deemed to have knowledge of all matters that they could reasonably have been expected to find out given their particular expertise and their exercise of reasonable due diligence.

5. Mellors & Kirk’s liability to Buyers (a) Except for the guarantee given

by Mellors & Kirk in Condition 3: (i) Mellors & Kirk gives no guarantees or warranties to the Buyer and any implied conditions or warranties, whether imposed by the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or otherwise, are hereby excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law; (ii) in particular, any representation or statement made by or on behalf of Mellors & Kirk, whether orally by any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or sub-contractors or printed in any Catalogue or any advertisement, brochure, commentary, list, report or valuation, concerning any aspect or quality of any lot, including age, attribution, authenticity, authorship, condition, date, origin, price, provenance or value, is a nonexhaustive expression of opinion only, may be revised prior to the lot being offered for sale (including whilst the lot is in public view) and is not to be taken as being or implying any warranty or representation of fact

by Mellors & Kirk; and (iii) neither Mellors & Kirk nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or subcontractors shall be in any way liable for any errors or omissions in any such representations or statements, save for any representations made fraudulently. (b) Without prejudice to Conditions 3 and 5(a), and save insofar as it relates to any liability for death or personal injury resulting from Mellors & Kirk’s negligence (for which Mellors & Kirk in no way seeks to exclude or limit its liability), Mellors & Kirk’s liability for any claim brought against Mellors & Kirk by any Buyer in respect of any lot shall be limited to the aggregate of the Hammer Price for that lot and the Buyer’s Premium actually paid by that Buyer to Mellors & Kirk in respect of that lot.

6. Vendors’ liability to Buyers No warranty is given by the Vendor of any lot to any prospective Buyer of that lot and all implied conditions or warranties, whether imposed by the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or otherwise (except those implied under Section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979), are hereby excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

7. At the sale (a) Mellors & Kirk has the right, at its absolute discretion, to refuse: (i) to allow any person to participate in any of its auctions; (ii) admission to its premises to any person; and (iii) any bid, without giving any reason. (b) All prospective Buyers, in order to bid at any Mellors & Kirk auction and obtain a bidding number, must complete, sign and submit to Mellors & Kirk a registration form with their name and permanent address and provide identification to verify such details to Mellors & Kirk before bidding on any lot. Mellors & Kirk may also require the production of bank details from which payment will be made and other financial references.

It is Mellors & Kirk’s policy to request that any new Buyers or Vendors preferring to make a cash payment to provide: (i) proof of identity (by providing some form of government issued identification containing a photograph or photographic counterpart, such as a passport, identity card or driver’s licence); and (ii) confirmation of their permanent address. It is against Mellors & Kirk’s general policy to accept single or multiple related payments in the form of cash or cash equivalents in excess of £5,000. Mellors & Kirk reserves the right to seek identification of the source of funds received. (c) When making a bid for any lot, a prospective Buyer is doing so as principal and therefore will be held personally and solely liable for that bid, unless Mellors & Kirk has previously agreed with the prospective Buyer in writing that the prospective Buyer is doing so on behalf of an identified third party who is acceptable to Mellors & Kirk. In circumstances where Mellors & Kirk has so agreed, both the prospective Buyer and the third party will be jointly and severally liable for all obligations arising from the bid and the third party shall, by the prospective Buyer’s bidding as his agent, be bound by the Conditions in the same way as if the third party were bidding personally. (d) In respect of any lots, the Vendor authorises Mellors & Kirk to accept, and Mellors & Kirk will use reasonable endeavours to carry out, bids from prospective Buyers who are not present at the relevant auction in person, by an agent or by telephone, facsimile or other electronic means, which are delivered (whether or not in writing) to Mellors & Kirk

161

MELLORS & KIRK CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS sufficiently in advance of their sale and which Mellors & Kirk considers, in its absolute discretion, to be sufficiently clear and complete. If Mellors & Kirk receives absentee bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, Mellors & Kirk will use reasonable endeavours to sell the lot to the absentee bidder whose bid was received and accepted first, however in practice it is often impracticable for Mellors & Kirk to know which bid was received and accepted first and therefore there is no guarantee that the lot will be sold to the absentee bidder whose bid was received or accepted first by Mellors & Kirk or, in fact, either of such absentee bidders.

Mellors & Kirk’s execution of absentee bids is a free service undertaken subject to its other commitments at the time of sale and, provided that Mellors & Kirk has exercised reasonable care in the handling of such bids, the volume of lots is such that Mellors & Kirk cannot accept liability in any individual circumstance for failing to execute any absentee bid or for errors and omissions in connection with absentee bidding arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Prospective Buyers should therefore attend the relevant auction personally or send an agent to such auction if they wish to be certain of bidding for particular lots. (e) If any prospective Buyers make and agree prior written arrangements with Mellors & Kirk for bidding for any lot(s) by telephone, facsimile or other electronic means sufficiently in advance of their sale, the Vendor authorises Mellors & Kirk to accept such bids from and Mellors & Kirk will use reasonable endeavours to contact such prospective Buyers to enable them to participate in such bidding, however Mellors & Kirk does not accept liability for any failing to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with any bidding by telephone, facsimile or other electronic means due to events beyond Mellors & Kirk’s reasonable control. (f) At some auctions, there may be a video or digital screen in operation for the convenience of both Vendors and Buyers. Errors may occur in its operation, the quality of the image reproduced on the screen and/or the correspondence of the screen image to the original. Mellors & Kirk do not accept liability for any such errors due to events beyond Mellors & Kirk’s reasonable control. (g) The representative of Mellors & Kirk conducting the auction (‘the auctioneer’) has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid and to advance and regulate the bidding for any lot in such a manner as he may decide, without giving any reason or previous notice, dividing, adding to or withdrawing any lots, combining any two or more lots and, in the case of error or dispute

162

(whether during or after the sale), determining the successful bidder, continuing the bidding, cancelling the sale, reoffering and reselling the lot in dispute or taking such other action as he reasonably thinks fit in the circumstances. If any dispute arises after the sale of any lot, the sales records maintained by the auctioneer will be conclusive in the absence of any objective or substantiated evidence to the contrary. Any postauction sale of any lot offered at auction shall incorporate the Conditions as if sold in the auction. (h) Subject to the auctioneer’s reasonable discretion, the person making the highest bid for any lot that is accepted by the auctioneer will be the Buyer of that lot. The striking of the auctioneer’s hammer marks his acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for the sale of the lot on and subject to these conditions between the Vendor and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for each lot (including any frame, casing, mounting or glass forming part thereof) passes to the Buyer at the fall of the hammer and the Buyer shall be solely responsible for insuring the lot from the time that risk in it passes to the Buyer under this Condition 7(h).

8. After the sale (a) In respect of any lot purchased, the Buyer will be liable to pay Mellors & Kirk the Hammer Price, the Buyer’s Premium, the Online Bidding Fee, any applicable Expenses and any applicable V.A.T. thereon. The Buyer acknowledges that Mellors & Kirk will also receive the Vendor’s Commission in respect of the sale of any lot to the Buyer and payment of the Buyer’s Premium in respect of that lot in no way affects or prejudices Mellors & Kirk’s entitlement to receive the Vendor’s Commission in respect of its sale and vice versa. (b) If the Artists Resale Rights Regulations 2006 apply to any lot, the Buyer also agrees to pay to Mellors & Kirk an amount equal to the applicable resale royalty provided for in such Regulations and Mellors & Kirk undertake to the Buyer to pay such amount to the artist’s collection agent.

(b) Notwithstanding any warranty given by the Vendor in this Condition 9(a): (i) Mellors & Kirk reserves the right to effect the testing of any electrical or mechanical goods or parts thereof, to make a charge payable by the Vendor for any such testing and to refuse to offer for sale any such goods or parts that is found not conform to all then applicable safety standards; and (ii) notwithstanding any such testing, all electronically operated lots sold at any Mellors & Kirk auction are deemed to be antiques and/or collectable items and therefore inherently dangerous. (c) If Mellors & Kirk or the Buyer considers any of the warranties given in Condition 9(a) to be breached in any way, Mellors & Kirk and/or the Buyer may take legal action against the Vendor. The Vendor undertakes to fully indemnify Mellors & Kirk, its directors, officers, employees, agents and sub-contractors and the Buyer against any loss or damage they incur or suffer in consequence of any breach of any of the warranties given in Condition 9(a) or any other terms of the Conditions on the part of the Vendor.

10. Mellors & Kirk’s liability to Vendors (a) Any representation or statement made by or on behalf of Mellors & Kirk, whether orally by any of their directors, officers, employees, agents or sub-contractors or printed in any Catalogue, advertisement brochure, commentary, list, report or valuation, concerning any aspect or quality of any lot, including age, attribution, authenticity, authorship, condition, date, origin, price, provenance or value is an expression of nonexhaustive opinion only, may be revised prior to the lot being offered for sale (including whilst the lot is on public view) and is not to be taken as being or implying any warranty or representation of fact by Mellors & Kirk.

lots are included in the sale; (iii) the way in which any lot is described or illustrated in the Catalogue or any condition report; (iv) the date and place of any Mellors & Kirk auction; and (v) the manner in which any sale is carried out. Mellors & Kirk reserve the right to consult with and rely on any outside experts, consultants or restorers of its choice in relation to any lot and to carry out such other enquiries or tests in relation to the lot either before or after their sale as Mellors & Kirk may deem appropriate.

However, this is a matter for Mellors & Kirk’s discretion and Mellors & Kirk shall be under no duty or obligation to carry out any such consultation, enquiries or tests in respect of any lot. (b) Any estimate given by Mellors & Kirk of the selling price of any lot, whether any such estimate is made orally, in the Catalogue or otherwise: (i) is an expression of nonexhaustive opinion and intended only as a guide; (ii) should not be in any way relied upon as a statement that the estimated selling price is the price at which the lot will sell or its value for any other purpose; and (iii) may be revised from time to time in Mellors & Kirk’s absolute discretion. As any estimate can be subject to revision, it is advisable to consult Mellors & Kirk as to the estimated selling price of any lot nearer the time of the sale. (c) If any Vendor chooses to withdraw any lot from sale after the later of: (i) the Vendor’s written agreement with Mellors & Kirk to sell the lot; and (ii) 12 weeks before the date of the auction of the lot, the Vendor will be liable to pay Mellors & Kirk a withdrawal fee calculated in accordance with Condition 11(e).

If the Vendor withdraws the lot before that time, no withdrawal fee shall be payable by the Vendor to Mellors & Kirk. (d) Mellors & Kirk may withdraw any lot from sale without any liability if: (i) Mellors & Kirk reasonably believe that there is any doubt as to its attribution or authenticity; (ii) it is established or alleged that any of the warranties given by the Vendor in Condition 9 are inaccurate in any way; (iii) the Vendor materially breaches any of the Conditions; (iv) the lots contains any endangered species for which a sales exemption under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species is required and such a sales exemption has not been granted by the day preceding the first day of the viewing of the sale; (v) Mellors & Kirk consider the lot to be of insufficient sale value; (vi) the lot suffers from loss or damage so that it is not in the state in which it was when Mellors & Kirk agreed to sell it; or (vii) the Mellors & Kirk auction at which it was proposed to be put on sale is postponed for any reason.

for sale to Mellors & Kirk by any Vendor, Mellors & Kirk shall not release the lot to the Vendor until the title claim or lien has been resolved to Mellors & Kirk’s reasonable satisfaction. (e) If any lot is withdrawn from sale

by Mellors & Kirk for any reason other than any actual or alleged inaccuracy in any of the warranties given by the Vendor in Condition 9 or any material breach by the Vendor of any of the Conditions, the Vendor shall not be charged a withdrawal fee and, as long as there is no competing title claim or lien over the lot, the lot shall be returned to the Vendor at the Vendor’s expense. If, however, any lot is withdrawn from sale by Mellors & Kirk because of any actual or alleged inaccuracy in any of the warranties given by the Vendor in Condition 9 or any material breach by the Vendor of any of the Conditions or any lot is withdrawn by the Vendor after the applicable time set out in Condition 11(c), Mellors & Kirk is entitled to a fee of 15% of: (i) the reserve for the withdrawn lot; or (ii) if unreserved, Mellors & Kirk’s low presale estimate for the withdrawn lot at the time of its withdrawal, together with any applicable Expenses and any applicable V.A.T. thereon. Mellors & Kirk shall not be obliged to withdraw any lot or to return it to the Vendor unless the Vendor has made full payment to Mellors & Kirk of the applicable withdrawal fee, Expenses and VAT in pounds sterling and good cleared funds. (f) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Mellors & Kirk will, at the Vendor’s expense and on the terms set out in this Condition 11(f), bear the risk in and insure any lot consigned to it for the sole purpose of its sale (and not for any other purpose or reason) until such time as risk passes to the Buyer on sale of the lot or, if the lot remains unsold, upon its disposal in accordance with Condition 13(e). Mellors & Kirk shall charge the Vendor, and the Vendor agrees to pay, a sum in respect of such insurance at a premium of: (i) 1.25% of the Hammer Price if the lot is sold (in which case the Vendor acknowledges that Mellors & Kirk will deduct such a sum from the Hammer Price of the lot as an Expense); (ii) the reserve for the lot if the lot is unsold; (iii) the low presale estimate of the lot at the time of its delivery if the lot is unreserved or not offered for sale for any reason; or (iv) a reasonable estimate of the auction value of the lot at the date of its delivery if there is no low presale estimate for the lot.

Lots will be insured whilst in the possession of Mellors & Kirk against the risks of fire, theft following forcible entry and water damage but not against accidental breakage, loss or damage however caused unless by the wilful misconduct or negligence of Mellors & Kirk. Should any loss

MELLORS & KIRK CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS or damage occur to any lot whilst risk in it is borne by Mellors & Kirk and for which Mellors & Kirk is liable, Mellors & Kirk shall not be liable to pay the Vendor any more than the applicable premium set out in this Condition 11(f), less any Vendor’s Commission, any applicable Expenses and any applicable V.A.T. thereon. Mellors & Kirk shall not be responsible or liable for the damage, loss, theft or destruction of any lot not so insured upon the vendors instructions, nor will Mellors & Kirk be responsible or liable for any loss or damage caused by: (i) any third party whom Mellors & Kirk have instructed to deal with the lot with the Vendor’s consent; (ii) changes in humidity or temperature; (iii) normal wear and tear, gradual deterioration or inherent defect; or (iv) errors in processing. Owing to the age of the majority of lots and the fragility of antique or other frames and casings, Mellors & Kirk will not insure against, and shall not be responsible or liable for, any loss or damage caused to any frame, casing, mounting or glass forming part of any lot. (g) If the Vendor does not wish Mellors & Kirk to bear the risk of loss or damages cover in any lot delivered to Mellors & Kirk, the Vendor must agree this with Mellors & Kirk in writing at that time. In the event that the Vendor agrees this with Mellors & Kirk in respect of any lot, the Vendor will maintain insurance cover for the lot until risk in the lot passes to the Buyer on its sale. In such circumstances, the Vendor will: (i) promptly (and in any event no later than 7 days after delivery of the lot in question to Mellors & Kirk) provide Mellors & Kirk with a copy of the certificate of insurance for the lot; (ii) promptly (and in any event no later than 7 days after delivery of the lot in question to Mellors & Kirk) procure a waiver of subrogation by his insurer in a form satisfactory to Mellors & Kirk of all rights and claims that the insurer may have against Mellors & Kirk in connection with loss or damage in respect of the lot and provide Mellors & Kirk with a copy of such wavier; (iii) indemnify Mellors & Kirk against any claim for loss, damage or costs in respect of the lot however arising; (iv) immediately notify his insurers of the terms of such indemnity and shall himself note the interest of Mellors & Kirk as bailee in respect of the relevant insurance policy; (v) reimburse Mellors & Kirk on demand for any payments, costs or Expenses, including legal fees, that Mellors & Kirk incur as a result of any claim for loss, damage or costs in respect of the lot; and (vi) waive all rights and claims that he may have against Mellors & Kirk in connection with such loss or damage, other than in circumstances where the loss or damage was caused by the wilful misconduct or negligence of Mellors & Kirk.

12. At the sale (a) All lots are offered for sale without reserve unless specific written instructions to the contrary are received and agreed to by Mellors & Kirk prior to the day of the sale. Any agreed reserve shall be: (i) the confidential minimum Hammer Price below which the lot will not be sold; (ii) no higher than Mellors & Kirk’s low presale estimate for the lot at the time of the relevant auction; and (iii) subject to 10% discretion. Where any lot is offered for sale subject to an agreed reserve, the auctioneer may open the bidding on the lot below its reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Vendor and may continue to bid on behalf of the Vendor up to the amount of one bid below the reserve either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders, although the auctioneer will not indicate during the auction that he is making such bids on behalf of the Vendor. The auctioneer alone is authorised to bid on behalf of the Vendor for any lot offered subject to an agreed reserve or at the auctioneer’s discretion. Mellors & Kirk shall in no circumstances be liable if bids are not received for any lot at the level of its agreed reserve but shall be entitled, in its absolute discretion, to sell the lot below the reserve and pay the Vendor the Sale Proceeds that he would have received if the lot had sold at the reserve. (b) The Vendor will not in person or through the agency of any other person except the auctioneer bid for his own property. If the Vendor should bid for his own property on his own behalf or instruct or permit any other person except the auctioneer to bid for his own property on his behalf, Mellors & Kirk may treat the Vendor as the successful bidder and, in such circumstances, the Vendor will: (i) not be entitled to the benefit of Condition 3 or any applicable reserve; and (ii) pay Mellors & Kirk a sum representing the total of the Vendor’s Commission, the Buyer’s Premium, any applicable Expenses and any applicable V.A.T. thereon and Mellors & Kirk shall be entitled to exercise a lien over the lot until full payment of that sum has been made to Mellors & Kirk in pounds sterling and good cleared funds.

13. After the sale (a) Following the sale of any lot, the Vendor will be liable to pay Mellors & Kirk the Vendor’s Commission, any applicable Expenses and any applicable V.A.T thereon. The Vendor authorises Mellors & Kirk to deduct all such Vendor’s Commission, Expenses paid by the Vendor and V.A.T. from the Hammer Price and acknowledges the right of Mellors & Kirk to charge the Buyer and retain the Buyer’s Premium. (b) Unless Mellors & Kirk have been notified by the Buyer of his

Buyer’s Premium of 28.8% inclusive of VAT

intention to rescind the sale of any lot on the basis that the lot is a deliberate forgery, Mellors & Kirk will remit the Sale Proceeds to the Vendor, after deducting the Vendor’s Commission, insurance charges and any other applicable Expenses and any applicable V.A.T. thereon, 21 days after the sale of the lot, provided that Mellors & Kirk has been paid the Hammer Price, the Buyer’s Premium, any applicable Expenses and any applicable V.A.T. thereon in full by the Buyer in pounds sterling and good cleared funds. The Vendor should note that the Sale Proceeds payable to him are derived from the actual proceeds of sale received by Mellors & Kirk from the Buyer in respect of the lot in question and, as such, Mellors & Kirk are not under any obligation to remit the Sale Proceeds to the Vendor until such payment is received in full from the Buyer (although Mellors & Kirk reserves the right to do so). In the event that such payment is not received in full from the Buyer within 21 days of the sale of the lot in question, Mellors & Kirk will remit the Sale Proceeds to the Vendor 5 working days after such payment has been received in full from the Buyer. If such payment has not been received in full from the Buyer 30 days following the sale of the lot in question, Mellors & Kirk will endeavour to consult with the Vendor on the appropriate course of action to take to recover the amount due, notwithstanding that the Vendor authorises Mellors & Kirk to take such steps on the Seller’s behalf as Mellors & Kirk thinks necessary to attempt to recover monies due from the Buyer, including (without limitation) the right to charge the Buyer interest for late payment under Condition 8(h). The Vendor authorises Mellors & Kirk to retain such interest for Mellors & Kirk’s own account together with any interest that may be accrued on the deposit of any proceeds of sale in the client bank account of Mellors & Kirk at Lloyds Bank, Old Market Square, Nottingham (c) It shall not be incumbent upon Mellors & Kirk to pursue any Buyer in the matter of any amount(s) due, nor shall Mellors & Kirk be under any obligation to enforce payment by any Buyer or to undertake legal proceedings to recover such payment.

The Vendor shall inform Mellors & Kirk of any action that the Vendor chooses to take against the Buyer to enforce payment of the amount due to the Vendor, notwithstanding that Mellors & Kirk has absolute discretion to take and enforce any of the rights or remedies set out in Condition 8(h), including (without limitation) the right to cancel the sale and return the lot in question to the Vendor.

If the Buyer fails to pay the full amount due on any lot in pounds sterling and good cleared funds but Mellors & Kirk agree to remit

to the Vendor an amount equal to the Sale Proceeds for that lot, ownership of the lot shall pass to Mellors & Kirk and, in such circumstances, Mellors & Kirk will have the benefit of all representations, warranties and indemnities given by the Vendor in respect of the lot in the Conditions. (d) Where Mellors & Kirk considers that any lot is a deliberate forgery (and, in so doing, it shall be entitled to dispense with any of the requirements of Condition 3 in its absolute discretion), Mellors & Kirk is authorised to rescind the sale and refund to the Buyer any amount paid to Mellors & Kirk in respect of the lot in question and shall notify the Vendor of any such rescission. Within 7 days of the Vendor’s receipt of any such notification, the Vendor will: (i) return to Mellors & Kirk any Sale Proceeds already paid by Mellors & Kirk to the Vendor; and (ii) reimburse Mellors & Kirk for any Expenses incurred in connection with the rescinded sale. On receipt of all such sums, Mellors & Kirk shall return the lot in question to the Vendor. Mellors & Kirk shall be entitled to the Sale Proceeds of the lot in question if Mellors & Kirk cannot return that lot to the Vendor for any reason beyond Mellors & Kirk’s reasonable control. (e) In the event of: (i) any reserved lot of a catalogue auction remaining unsold at the conclusion of the relevant auction and unless otherwise agreed in writing with Mellors & Kirk, the Vendor authorises Mellors & Kirk exclusively, until such time as the lot is removed by or on behalf of the vendor, to re-offer the lot without reserve in a subsequent general auction or auctions or to invite offers to sell the lot privately for a price that will result in a payment to the Vendor of not less than the Sale Proceeds to which the Vendor would have been entitled had the lot been sold at auction for a price equal to the reserve; (ii) any unreserved lot in a catalogue auction remaining unsold at the conclusion of the relevant auction and unless there is a written agreement to the contrary with Mellors & Kirk, the Vendor authorises Mellors & Kirk exclusively to re-offer the lot in a subsequent auction or auctions or to invite offers and sell the lot privately at its absolute discretion and, in the event that any such lot is re-offered at a subsequent auction, the Vendor agrees that the lot will be sold without reserve. If any reserved or unreserved lot of a catalogue auction does then not sell at a general auction, then the Vendor authorises Mellors & Kirk, unless there is a written agreement to the contrary, to dispose of the lot as it sees fit at the full expense of the Vendor. If any reserved lot in a general auction remains unsold at the conclusion of the relevant auction the Vendor authorises
