The Bowyers’ art collection revolves around artists we now see as ‘classic’ Modern British art - not just Nicholson, but the likes of Pasmore, Vaughan, Adams and Butler, to name a few, as well as works by ‘The Two Roberts’, Colquhoun and MacBryde, some of Gordon’s earliest purchases, who as luck would have it are subjects of a major retrospective at Charleston this autumn.

was (literally) flimsy and jerry-built. But the Festival was also brilliant and innovative and, importantly, beloved by the public, who took it for what it was intended to be: a celebration of hopeful new beginnings, the very opposite of the existential cry that some of the Bowyers’ favourite sculptors were to present to a stunned audience at the Venice Biennale in 1952. The Festival itself had a strong look – bright colours, lightweight, playful, with plenty of angled go-ahead lettering (at which Ursula was a dab hand) and public murals in a user-friendly Cubist idiom (at which Gordon was adept). Gordon and Ursula’s Sports Pavilion was the Festival personified – bolted together from scaffolding poles and canvas awnings, floating elegantly above the muddy Thames, it was the epitome of bright and breezy, at once both nostalgic and futuristic.

Based on the success of the Pavilion and the small pieces of work they were managing to win (and Ursula’s wages from working for the influential Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew), the Bowyers bought a house on Maze Hill in Greenwich, where they were to live for the rest of their lives – and established their own architectural practice, with their

Ursula’s parents were lucky enough to have the opportunity to leave and so they did, sending her over to England on a ferry in 1938 and yet, like so many families who did manage to get out, they still lost many members of their extended family to the Holocaust.

Gordon and Ursula met during the War, when they we both students at the Regent Street Polytechnic, then one of the more advanced art and design schools in the country. Their tutor was Peter Moro – another European émigré and one of many bringing Bauhaus principles of art and life to a willing British student body. They married in 1950, during a brief pause in the work on what was to be their breakthrough project: the Sports Pavilion for the Festival of Britain, held the following year.

Looking back, the Festival of Britain could be seen as the British government – bankrupt from the War – desperately papering over the cracks, trying to preserve its preWar hegemony in a rapidly de-colonialising world. The architectural jamboree built on the south bank of the Thames

collective of architects – many of them friends from their Regent Street Poly days – working on projects independently and collaboratively, sharing skills and opportunities equally.

Colleagues included Trevor Dannatt (whose brother George was a painter whom the Bowyers collected), Walter Grieves, Richard and Margaret Finch and George Subioto, whilst Peter Moro was installed as eminence grise.

In 1961, the Bowyers presented perhaps their most experimental work, which the architectural historian Neil Bingham described as ‘one of Britain’s most original and sophisticated investigations into the possibilities of change and flexibility within domestic living’: their presentation of ‘the growing home’ at the Earl’s Court Furniture Show.

– such as 2 Langton Way for the architect Graham Lane.

And the lessons they took from their private builds they applied to social housing. Both Gordon and Ursula believed that everybody deserved a well-made, well-designed house and they became actively involved in the national debate on the post-war housing shortage, joining the critic Ian Nairn in railing against ‘Subtopia’, the shoddy and soulless new housing that was being forced upon a desperate nation.

Their own early 18th-century house in Greenwich – where the writer and abolitionist Olaudah Equiano had spent time whilst he was in London – was itself not immune to the understated and sensitive touches that made a bespoke Bowyer home so appealing. There was the large picture window in the first floor sitting room, giving a wonderful view of the garden with its two Emily Young sculptures (lots 78 & 79). Gordon would often chuckle to himself when taking in the scene, full in the knowledge that such things wouldn’t have got planning permission much after 1960. And, of

The art collection blended within the interior seamlessly. The main siting room, especially, was very reminiscent of Kettle’s Yard, with its restraint and artful combinations, whereas the rest of the house was something more of a wunderkammer with pictures occupying every available surface, including a pine-panelled central stair in the middle of which sat a painting by Gordon himself, from very early on in his career – the same one that features in the back of a wonderful photograph held in the RIBA archives of Gordon and Ursula together, two young architects drawing up the plans for modernity in Britain.

Henry & Joyce Collins were a husband-and-wife artistic team who worked on a number of public art projects from the late 1940s onwards, most notably a wide array of concrete and mosaic murals for public and commercial buildings during the post-war building boom of the 60s and 70s. They met the Bowyers when they were commissioned for a series of designs and murals for the Festival of Britain – including Gordon and Ursula’s Sports Pavilion – and remained close friends and occasional collaborators for the decades that followed.

Joyce Pallot studied industrial art and design at Colchester and Southend Schools of Art. It was while at Colchester in 1932 that she met Henry Collins, whom she married in 1938. As well as her career as an industrial designer

and muralist, Joyce, like Henry, pursued a parallel career as a fine artist, with exhibitions in both public spaces and private galleries.

Henry Collins born into a working-class family in Colchester, studying at Colchester School of Art before moving to the Central School in London to study graphic design. He started his career in 1935 by designing a poster for London Underground, entitled Cheap Return Fares, and after his war service he continued as a freelance designer whilst trying to establish himself as a professional artist. He was also an educator, teaching part-time in the Graphic Design Department of St Martin’s School of Art, London, for 25 years, as well as at Colchester School of Art.

Colquhoun and MacBryde met in 1933 as students at Glasgow School of Art. Their lifelong bond developed so quickly that they were awarded a joint travelling scholarship five years later.

Indeed, all three paintings presented here date from this remarkably creative period in the artists’ careers. They confronted the realities of existence with gravitas, often through an abstracted figuration realised by way of textured paint surfaces, a shared chartreuse palette and working from their imaginations rather than from a model.

They quickly became friends with artists including Francis Bacon, John Craxton, Lucian Freud, John Minton and Keith Vaughan, as well as habitués of the pubs and clubs of Soho. Their work was shown in group, joint and solo exhibitions throughout the 1940s including at the progressive Lefevre Gallery. Paintings by Colquhoun were acquired by the Contemporary Art Society and the Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts (which became the Arts Council of Great Britain) in 1942.

As Elliott has explained, the Roberts transformed from members of the neo-romantic movement into ‘stars in their own right’ from 1946, not least with the selection of their work, including MacBryde’s Emotional Cornish Woman, in the British Council’s UNESCO-sponsored exhibition of contemporary art at the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris’ (it was lent by the twenty-three year old Gordon Bowyer). The British Council purchased a still life by MacBryde, whilst another became the first work of his to enter a public collection when it was acquired by Manchester Art Gallery in 1947. International reputations were secured with a joint exhibition at the George Dix Gallery in New York in 1948 which led to the acquisition of a work by each for the city’s Museum of Modern Art. Later that year and at the peak of their fame, they moved to Suffolk and speedily declined into penury and professional neglect in the 1950s.

With the recent publication of the novel The Two Roberts by awardwinning author Damian Barr and the current exhibition of their work that he has curated at Charleston in Lewes (on until 12 April 2026), the Two Roberts are once more the toast of the town.

Originally conceived as a bench, low table, or cabinet support within the Interplan range, it was produced by Hille in a smaller format with two triangular supports on each side. No documented examples with three supports are known, though its height of 32 cm and depth of 45.75 cm correspond to the smaller model.

A two-support version of this bench was exhibited at the Milan Triennale in 1954 and at British Design Today in Frankfurt in 1958.

Several large-scale commissions were produced for aristocratic and affluent patrons. The present painting is comparable to Brian (Bonhams, London, 22 November 2017, £18,750), sharing similar colouring of the hair and eyes, though the reversed hairline suggests an unidentified sitter.

The work may also relate to Jagger’s commercial commissions for the advertising agency J. Walter Thompson, his employer during the First World War. His illustrations were used in major campaigns of the late 1920s, including Players Cigarettes, Horlicks, and Clarks Threads.

didn’t want to go out at night to amend them, so he left it to me to make it all fit. I would do a normal day at work, as an architect for London Transport, then wander around the city until midnight, before going on site to do a kind of cut and paste make the mosaic fit the space, catching the first train back home around 6am.

I’ve always called the piece ‘butterfly/moth’ because I always think of it as a butterfly, with its bright colouring, but it was in fact a moth - to depict the night life of Soho and the environs of Tottenham Court Road.’

Born in Venice and raised in Florence, Capacci settled in Paris in 1930, joining Les Italiens de Paris with de Chirico and Severini. He and his wife, Belgian painter Suzanne Van Damme, were closely connected with the Surrealists and exhibited at André Breton’s Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme at Galerie Maeght in 1947.

Capacci’s work—poetic, imaginative, and often featuring fantastical bestiaries—drew on Renaissance masters as well as Klee and Brauner. In Florence he developed ceramics, mosaics and porcelain, exhibiting widely in the US and collaborating with Haviland, Christofle and Rosenthal. He returned to Brussels in later life and died in 1996.

Suzanne Van Damme shared Capacci’s Parisian Surrealist milieu and exhibited internationally alongside him. Her work, admired for its lyrical sensitivity and dreamlike qualities, was celebrated posthumously in solo and joint exhibitions with Capacci.

Her own reflections on design reveal a practical yet imaginative approach. As The Textile Manufacturer observed: “Mrs Groag considers that the designer should design for the actual fabric, heavy or light, opaque or slightly transparent, matt or shiny…the design has to be put on paper, but the paper should be forgotten and the technique considered of the method of production. Many designers think their work is spoiled during reproduction but Mrs Groag considers that the design is no good if it is not reproducible. After the design is born the designer should, if possible, go to the workshop, see the craftsmen, weaver or printer, explain, discuss and collaborate, going into details with great care and considering colour schemes. It would mean time

and Modernist principles: linear motifs dance across the surface, interlocking forms suggest movement and energy, and colour is applied with bold assurance. Particularly striking are her acetate designs for laminates (Lots 218 & 224), which highlight her adaptability to new technologies and materials. At a time when plastics and laminates were reshaping the modern interior, Groag embraced their possibilities, using translucency to explore layering, colour overlays and depth. These works illustrate not only her continuing relevance in the 1950s and 60s but also her determination to push textile design beyond traditional media into new realms of creativity.

By contrast, the Fireplace Chair (Lot 226) developed in the mid1940s for Bovirke, embodies his early post-war breakthrough.

Here the generous arm profiles, cross-stretcher frame and “paper-knife” detail convey a relaxed grandeur, demonstrating Juhl’s ability to combine cabinetmaking tradition with a cinematic

Finn Juhl (1912–1989) transformed furniture into sculptural presence with pieces that read as art at first glance and as design on closer encounter, rewarding the sitter with exceptional comfort. In his practice he was at the forefront of lifting Danish design to international recognition in the years following the Second World War.

Collaboration with master craftsmen was central to Juhl’s method, and nowhere is this more evident than in his partnership with Niels Vodder, whose initials are immortalised in the NV53 series. The chairs and settee of this family (Lots 227 & 228) achieve a balance between enveloping upholstery and the visual

In Juhl’s furniture, the influence of abstract modernist sculptors such as Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, and Jean Arp is evident, serving as clear sources of inspiration.

By 1956, Finn Juhl was working to re-establish himself in the American market after the end of his collaboration with Baker. His solution was to design pieces that directly addressed American preferences, including the FJ56 coffee table. Unlike Danish tables of the time, which were typically 21 inches high, the FJ56 was designed at the lower 17 inch height suited to American living rooms. Despite its suitability, the model remained an expensive, handmade piece, and retailers often chose more affordable alternatives such as the BO101 bench.

As a result, the FJ56 was produced only in small numbers, with a single production run around 1960 for the Lunning stores in New York by Niels Vodder made in teak.

This present work is unusual in featuring rosewood veneers, setting it apart from the initial production run. Such a variation suggests that it may have been a specially commissioned piece, possibly ordered through one of Finn Juhl’s other retailers.

The use of the word ‘iconic’ is criticised for its over-use these days, but few could object to the term being applied to Patrick Caulfield’s legacy of work.

A Londoner by birth, Caulfield studied (and later taught at) the Chelsea School of Art between 1956–60, and at the Royal College of Art, contemporaneous to David Hockney and R.B. Kitaj. In 1964 he was included in the now-legendary ‘New Generation’ exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery

Caulfield is recorded as having bridled against his categorisation as ‘Pop’ however, rather viewing himself as a ‘formal’ artist. The body of work represented here for sale is proof of this distinction. Caulfield was said to be a man of immense self-assurance. This character is intrinsic to his work also, which appears to the viewer to have arrived fully-formed: a punch of powerful colour and form with an imperceptible sense of the artist’s hand or process. The reality, in fact, is that each work is meticulously plotted; the distillation of complex ideas, realised through a process of technical sketches and studies.

“

Two hundred years from now, when historians of late-20th-century England want to recapture a sense of how London actually looked and felt at the time, it will be to the paintings of Caulfield that they will inevitably turn. Just as Jan Vermeer and Pieter de Hooch caught the look and texture of 17th-century Holland, so Patrick Caulfield distilled and captured some vital essence of the urban world through which he moved with such a

Moorman taught for many years at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London, and her work is represented in major public collections.

On her technique, Moorman explained: “The basic technique is described fully in my book Weaving as an Art Form. I have incorporated floating and twisted woven strips, woven separately on a (…) warp using a fan-shaped reed(?), my own invention and design, which enables steps to be shaped, growing from a point to about 2.5 inches. Main materials used are linen and very fine mercerised cotton with additions of filament rayon and fine metallic thread.”

British tapestry artist Bobbie Cox is celebrated for her evocative woven works and her significant contributions to the tapestry community. Initially trained as a painter at the Bath Academy of Art, she transitioned to tapestry weaving in 1975, dedicating herself fully to the craft. Her large-scale commissions include notable works for Dartington Hall, St Stephen’s Church in Exeter, and Rochester Cathedral. Cox was the first guest artist featured in the BBC2 series The Craft of the Weaver and played a pivotal role in the British Tapestry Group, where she was remembered as a generous and patient teacher. Her tapestry series, such as Landscape into Tapestry and Indian Journey, toured extensively, showcasing her deep engagement with cultural narratives and natural forms.

403 TENTHOUSANDTHINGS (RON ANDERSON & DAVID REES), NEW YORK PAIR OF SMALL CRYSTAL CHANDELIER EARRINGS

TENTHOUSANDTHINGS is the creation of Ron Anderson and David Rees, two self-taught jewellers who arrived at the workbench after careers in New York’s fashion world. From their downtown studio, they have developed a distinctive vocabulary of forms — sculptural, abstract, often echoing patterns and textures found in the natural world. Each piece, made by hand in silver or gold, is conceived as a modern heirloom, balancing refinement with a sense of quiet permanence.

In recent years, Anderson and Rees’s search for unusual materials has led them beyond their own atelier, most notably to Jaipur. There, in collaboration with highly skilled stone carvers, they have extended their practice to include hand-carved gems. Working from the jewellers’ wax models, some entirely new and others drawn from their archive, the artisans employ traditional techniques passed down through generations.

Rough stones are reimagined in this process — cut, carved, and polished into luminous forms that retain all the subtlety of the original designs.

These singular carvings, with their careful balance of precision and irregularity, are destined to be assembled into earrings and necklaces that embody the pair’s idiosyncratic, modern vision of adornment.

Alex Brogden’s Sphere and Bowl reflect his sustained exploration of abstract silver forms, embodying his hallmark balance of fluid line, strong form, and exquisitely refined surfaces. Their smooth, highly reflective finish captures shifting light and shadow, echoing Brogden’s fascination with the dialogue between movement and stillness, the organic and the geometric. Over a career spanning more than four decades, he has established an international

reputation, creating both commissioned and sculptural works that are now represented in major collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Goldsmiths’ Company, and the Silver Trust at 10 Downing Street. His achievements also include designing the winner’s trophy for the prestigious Loewe Craft Prize on multiple occasions, further underlining his place as one of Britain’s leading contemporary silversmiths.

“

Pots suit the scale of my ideas, they inhibit an intimate intellectual space, there is no bombastic confrontation, one is charmed into picking up my ideas from a pot….From the very first plate I made at evening classes emblazoned with a crude crucifixion and the words KINKY SEX I have used imagery that some people find disturbing. I use such material not to deliberately shock but because sex, war and gender are subjects that are part of me and fascinate me and I feel I have something to say about them.

The late internet entrepreneur, collector and philanthropist Hugo Burge (1972-2023) was passionate about art and its transformative power. His personal collection was extensive and wide-ranging and was displayed to great effect in his homes at Marchmont House in the Scottish Borders and in London. He collected examples by Peter Hayes and Brian Willsher in depth and those presented here are being sold to raise funds for the Hugo Burge Foundation which aims to support and inspire creativity across the UK. Formerly known as The Marchmont Makers Foundation, the charity was launched by Hugo in 2022 and was renamed in his memory in 2024. The Foundation runs courses, hosts events, offers awards and funds apprenticeships, providing free studios and workspaces for artists and craftspeople in the Scottish Borders.

Hayes’s principle aim is for his work not to compete with nature, but to develop and evolve in the environment. This is shown through the way he layers textured clay surfaces by polishing and burnishing, alongside the introduction of further minerals, such as copper and iron into the raku surfaces of his objects. After firing, he might submerge pieces in the river beside his studio in Bath or send them to Cornwall to be washed over by the sea. As a result, every work is unique and helps to create an ancient feel to the finished surfaces.

“

Metal is very forgiving. If you make a mistake, you can cut it, rebend it, weld it back together — no problvem. You can’t really do that with wood or ceramic. There’s a kind of elasticity in steel, a versatility and strength, and then there’s the way you join it — with fire — which I found incredibly fascinating.

group including well-known figures such as Cindy Sherman and Robert Longo, strove to re-establish the genre of painting, with shared themes such as an interest in representational imagery and references to mass media. During the exhibition critic Douglas Crimp described Goldstein as the most prominent and most paradigmatic appropriation artist. In direct reaction to this classification Goldstein decided to start painting, continuing this for the rest of his life to the extent that many remember Goldstein primarily as a painter, rather than for his other achievements as film-maker, performance artist, musician and photographer.

Critic Ronald Jones notably described Goldstein’s painting practice in 1987 explaining ‘Time and again he portrays the spectacular instant, its gorgeous effects: intimidating thunderstorms, majestic views of interstellar space, the staggering effects of computer imaging, the utter silence of night flying. Before his pictures it is natural to remember the vivid and poignant scenes of J.W.M. Turner and Frederic E. Church, or James McNeill Whistler’s Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket. It is natural, but rarely useful.

Goldstein portrays the drama of splitsecond timing, the precipitous vision of the photograph and the video screen. It is his way to leave us without recourse to the narratives so necessary to the meaning of earlier art. Goldstein’s art suspends time and our gaze precisely at the point where origins and endings blur beyond recognition’ (R. Jones, Jack Goldstein: Recent Work, 1986-1987, New York, 1987, n.p.).

Fund, which in turn enables the College to offer not be able to attend its storied classrooms, allowing talented individuals, regardless of their background or financial circumstances, to access a unique educational experience at a formative time in their lives.

Past contributors to the exhibition include renowned alumni and friends of the College such as Christopher Bailey, David Bowie, Sir James Dyson, Tracey Emin, Norman Foster, Thomas Heatherwick, Anish Kapoor, Mike Leigh, Stella McCartney, Steve McQueen, Yoko Ono, Zandra Rhodes and Sir Paul Smith. Current students and recent alumni are also invited to contribute – adding to the fascinating mix of styles and responses.

However, when the works go on display, all are anonymous – leaving it up to the viewer to decide if the work they like is by an art-world luminary or a rising star.

Some are quite obvious (a few artists miss the memo and sign their works on the front); the majority are not. Part of this is due to there being no limitation on medium: from photography and collage, to drawing, painting and even sculpture and embroidery, the only requirement is that all artworks should be postcard-sized.

Special terms may be used in Catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, Paintings, Guns, Firearms, etc.) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the Catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales.

In these Conditions the words “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon & Turnbull Ltd, the singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate.

“You”, “Your” means the Buyer.

Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller. Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller. On occasion where Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. own a lot in part or full the property will be identified in the catalogue with the symbol (🄰) next to its lot number.

A. BEFORE THE SALE 1. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS Whilst we seek to describe Lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each Lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a Lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or Estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the Auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of Lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/ images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the Lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the Lot. All dimensions and weights are approximate only.

2. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the extent provided below. (a) Condition Reports: Condition Reports are provided on our Website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a Lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the Lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and You are strongly advised to examine any Lot in which You are interested prior to the sale.

Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our Condition Report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way. (b) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each Lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon. (c) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and Estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the Catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred.

3. WITHDRAWAL Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw.

4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS (a) Jewellery: (i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future. (ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least

three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report. (iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent.

The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report. (iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. (b) Clocks & Watches: All Lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. Furthermore, we make no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order.

As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary.

Buyers should also be aware that we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted.

These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally.

Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys. (c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given. (d) Books-Collation: If on collation

any named item in the sale Catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the Lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing.

This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings nor in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text nor in respect of Defects mentioned in the Catalogue, or at the time of sale, nor in respect of Lots sold for less than £300. (e) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. (f) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item.

ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY (DROIT DE SUITE) This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the Hammer Price and in addition to the Buyer’s Premium. It will not apply to works where the Hammer Price is less than £1,000. The charge for works of art sold at and above £1,000 and below £50,000 is 4%. For items selling above £50,000, charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the Auctioneer.

Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk.

E. WARRANTIES 1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES For each Lot, the Seller gives a warranty that the Seller; (a) Is the owner of the Lot or a joint owner of the Lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners, or if the Sellers is not the owner of or a joint owner of the Lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the Lot, or the right to do so in law, and; (b) Had the right to transfer ownership of the Lot to the Buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else.

If either other above warranties are incorrect, the Seller shall not have to pay more than the Purchase Price (as defined in the glossary) paid by You to us. The Seller will not be responsible to You for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages or expense. The Seller gives no warranty in relation to any Lot other than as set out above and, as far as the Seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the Seller to You, and all obligations upon the Seller which may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded.

2. AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE We guarantee that the authorship, period, or origin (collectively, “Authorship”) of each Lot in this Catalogue is as stated in the BOLD or CAPITALISED type heading in the Catalogue description of the Lot, as amended by oral or written saleroom notes or announcements. We make no warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to

322 any material in the Catalogue other than that appearing in the Bold or Capitalised heading and subject to the exclusions below.

In the event we, in our reasonable opinion, deem that the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall refund to the original purchaser of the Lot the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer’s Premium paid for the Lot by the original purchaser.

This Guarantee does not apply if: (a) The Catalogue description was in accordance with the opinion(s) of generally accepted scholar(s) and expert(s) at the date of the sale, or the Catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or (b) the only method of establishing that the Authorship was not as described in the Bold or Capitalised heading at the date of the sale would have been by means or processes not then generally available or accepted; unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely (in our reasonable opinion) to have caused damage to the Lot or likely to have caused loss of value to the Lot; or (c) There has been no material loss in value of the Lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description in the Bold or Capitalised type heading.

This Guarantee is provided for a period of one year from the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of the Lot at the auction and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Authenticity Guarantee, the original purchaser of the Lot must: (a) notify us in writing within one month of receiving any information that causes the original purchaser of record to dispute the accuracy of the Bold or Capitalised type heading, specifying the Lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons for such dispute; and (b) return the Lot to our registered office in the same condition as at the date of sale to the original purchaser of record and be able to transfer good title to the Lot, free from any third party claims arising after the date of such sale.

We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements. We may require the original purchaser of the Lot to obtain, at the original purchaser of Lot’s cost, the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field. The reports must be mutually acceptable to us and the original purchaser of the Lot. We shall not be bound by any reports produced by the original purchaser of the Lot, and Reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and the refund of the original Purchase Price paid (the successful Hammer Price, plus the Buyer’s Premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of

law. Lyon & Turnbull and the Seller shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed, including without limitation, loss of profits or interest.

You will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by a third party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) The arrangements between You and the ultimate Buyer(s) in relation to the Lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes, and; (iii) You do not know, and have no reason to suspect that the funds used for settlement are connected with the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate Buyer(s) are under investigation or have been charged with or convicted of money-laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.

You will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for Your obligations to us; we may decide to sell Your property in any way we think appropriate. We will use the proceeds of the sale against any amounts You owe us and we will pay

any amount left from that sale to You. If there is a shortfall, You must pay us the balance; and (i) Take any other action we see necessary or appropriate.
