engineer, had already made a name for himself in 1987 when he published the then-definitive guide to reinforced concrete design. His love for engineering issues, combined with an eye for beauty, had been passed down to his children and grandchildren, who shared his analytical skills. His son, Russell T., photographed the textiles in his books, and his daughter, Karen, designed the book covers.

When I first met him, Russ had already embarked on his second and third collecting careers, each of considerable magnitude and represented by numerous items in this catalog. His collecting journey began in the 1960s when he noticed rugs adorning the floors and walls of his lawyer, Mac Anderson (for Mac's obituary, see HALI 153, Aug. 2007). Russ and Mac became close friends, embarking on visits to local markets and dealers, often with their kids in tow, exploring piles of rugs while meticulously inspecting the inventory for hidden gems.

These were days of continuous learning, and they regularly visited Richard Markarian of Cincinnati, the source of many of the rugs featured in this catalog.

The Early Days Markarian served as a great mentor who introduced Russ and Mac to the beauty and diversity of rugs. In turn, they reciprocated by assisting him in establishing a trust of his favorite rugs. They also played a significant role in developing ideas for his monumental book, "The Russell S. Fling (1926-2018) Markarian Album," by contributing several chapters and recording Markarian's comments for what would eventually become Part Two of the book, "Richard Markarian's Own Story." This narrative begins in Turkey, The Collection of Russell S. and Dona Fling continues with a harrowing deportation experience, and eventually leads to a new life in the United States, where Here it was: a small note in HALI 71's letter section, written Markarian enjoyed a long and highly successful career as by one of its readers commenting on that year's ICOC a rug dealer and collector. As you delve into the pages exhibitions in Hamburg and Berlin – a bit critical but of the book, you can still envision the scene: piles of rugs diplomatic and well argued. But what truly caught my eye surrounding Russ and Mac, seated at Markarian's feet, was the bottom line: 'Russell S. Fling, Columbus, Ohio.' So, absorbing his anecdotes, gaining valuable knowledge, I was not the sole HALI reader in Columbus; there were and becoming integral parts of the rug world. This others, textile collectors with a wide range of interests, journey led to enduring friendships with luminaries from carpets to pre-Columbian textiles. I had moved to like Walter Denny and Daniel Walker, the authors of the Columbus two decades earlier, having relocated from the Markarian Book, as well as with fellow dealers, collectors, Bay Area, and quickly fell in love with Ohio's Amish Quilts. and scholars who frequented fairs and ICOC conferences.

All that time, I had assumed there must be other collectors in town but never managed to cross paths with them.

A Turning Point The Markarian book marked a turning point in Russ's I wasted no time looking up 'Fling' in the phone book collecting career, in at least two ways. First, it ignited his and dialed a number, almost at random, only to discover interest in the textiles of Central Asia and the Silk Road, that indeed, it was Russ. After a brief exchange, I obtained a region that had received limited attention in his earlier his address, just a 15-minute bicycle ride from my home. collection. Second, it kickstarted his textile writing career.

This marked the beginning of a 25-year friendship As an engineer, it is not surprising that Russ viewed textiles that eventually extended to his children and yes, not just for their aesthetic appeal but also as subjects grandchildren, when one of his granddaughters showed worthy of intellectual exploration. This perspective led up in my Economics in Architecture class. Russ, a structural him to spend many years posing thought-provoking

Exhibitions and Sharing Collectors like to share and Russ was no exception. He exhibited his collection whenever an opportunity arose.

Textiles were scattered throughout the house, his study brimmed with the latest acquisitions and objects of affection, and even the basement served as exhibition Russ's chapter in the Markarian Book, "A History of Rug room. There was a constant stream of visitors, including Collecting," could have been a quick overview of major dealers, fellow collectors, and friends he had made during collections formed in the last two centuries, likely his frequent trips to ACOR and ICOC meetings, often beginning with von Bode and the late 19th-century accompanied by his wife, Dona, who eventually inherited discovery of rugs in early paintings. Instead, with the same his collection. zeal for depth and comprehensiveness that characterizes his later work on suzanis, the chapter starts with a I distinctly recall Michael Franses touring the US to section on collecting from 500 B.C. to 1873. Who but Russ showcase his recent Chinese textile acquisitions; a group would have reminded himself and his readers that rug of German collectors making a stopover in Columbus, collecting was not a recent phenomenon but possibly Ohio; and Vedat Karadag visiting from Turkey, as did James dated back 2,500 years? With a meticulous definition of Blackmon and Arky Robbins from San Francisco. These collecting as the accumulation of objects for aesthetic visits provided opportunities to bring the textiles out of enjoyment, he begins by referencing the Pazyryk rug storage, to closely examine what otherwise remained owned by a Scythian emperor, though questions whether locked away. I visited frequently, to chat, to examine the emperor could be considered a collector in the recent additions, and to pay homage to my favorite pieces sense defined. The narrative then moves to 3rd-century scattered throughout his house – a small kilim above the fragments found on the Silk Road and 9th to 14th-century staircase, a Tekke Asmalyk gracing his living room, or a Silk Road fragments discovered in Fostat, the then capital Falconry Bag occupying a place of honor in his study. of Egypt. He discusses the Medici of Florence, Cardinal Wolsey, who served as Lord Chancellor under England's A substantial amount of time went into participating in King Henry VIII, and eventually, the diminishing interest in various exhibitions. While I'm sure to overlook some, a few rugs during the 18th century. There is detailed information come to mind: The Columbus Museum of Art (CMA) in 1989 about the decline of Persian production during the 19th presented 'Gateway to Heaven: Oriental Prayer Rugs from century, Benjamin Franklin's purchase of a 'Turkey carpet' Ohio and Regional Collections.' This exhibition featured for 10 guineas, and the resurgence of interest in rugs prayer rugs from Russ's collection and other Midwestern among individuals with limited means but refined taste, collections, including some of the rugs published in "The such as William Morris and Wilhelm von Bode, whose Markarian Album" of 1988, which were summarized in HALI knowledge of rugs depicted in early paintings led him to 46, page 47. There were also exhibitions at the Washington amass a remarkable collection during his trips to Italy.

Textile Museum, such as the displays of Tai and Lao textiles in 1992 and Russ's suzanis in 1996/97. CMA held two It is easy to see, how writing this chapter, Russ would have exhibitions that left a significant mark: the 2004 exhibition pivoted to the collection of suzanis, which occupied him 'Fabric of Life,' which was beautifully curated by Guest for the remainder of his life. Revisiting this chapter leaves Curator James Blackmon and extensively covered by Tom me in awe of the depth of his research, with every detail Murray (see HALI 137, pages 64-70), and the 2015 exhibition documented in 29 footnotes accompanying the concise of Russ's hat collection, along with the accompanying text. Even today, it stands as the most comprehensive catalog titled 'Hats on the Silk Road.' Many of the textiles guide to the history of carpet collecting that I can think of. featured in these exhibitions are showcased in this catalog.

What better way to revisit it than in the introduction to a catalog celebrating Russ's life as a collector, and passing The 2004 exhibition in Columbus, in particular, laid the on his collection to a new generation of enthusiasts. foundation for the Columbus Museum's growing interest in textile arts, encouraged by the aesthetic appreciation, moral It would take Russ another 20 years before he published support, and expert guidance from Russ and Mac Anderson, his next piece of research, a book on Central Asian the latter serving on the museum's board.

In the interim, he continued to build his Coverlets by Bill and Martha Stuck and, more recently, collection, delivered talks on suzanis, such as the one at the Wasserstrom donation of over 400 quilts. The current the 1996 ACOR in Santa Monica, and actively engaged in CMA exhibition, 'Quilting a Future: Contemporary Quilts and absorbing existing literature while striving to expand on it. American Tradition,' is a testament to this rich tradition. questions about textile construction, dyes, and age, as well as inquiries about the cultures and people responsible for their creation. He also delved into the broader context, which encompassed the historical backdrop, climate, and topography of the regions where these textiles originated.

These were exceptional times for textile collectors.

Collections had evolved and matured over the course of 30 or 40 years. Each year brought new discoveries, deeper insights into textiles from remote corners of the world, improved methods of dating, and a wealth of comparative material. Tribal arts attracted significant interest; many dealer careers were launched; HALI published its inaugural issue in Spring 1978; and collectors found community in the many textile groups that opened across the US. Russ was a member of a group associated with the Cleveland Museum and another group linked to the Indianapolis Museum. Although these groups are no longer active today, the nearby Michigan group led by Gerhardt Knodel continues to thrive.

The first International Conference on Oriental Carpets (ICOC) was held in 1976 in Washington, D.C., followed by a dozen or more conferences in locations such as London, San Francisco, Istanbul, Hamburg, Berlin, Philadelphia, and beyond. Russ and Dona attended many of these conferences, using them as an opportunity to forge friendships spanning continents. To this day, I encounter German, English, and American dealers and collectors at Rippon Boswell auctions who fondly remember Russ and Dona. They visited Columbus, shared collecting interests, exchanged Christmas cards, and enjoyed occasional gatherings (often accompanied by Dona's enchanting violin performances).

Silk Road Collecting and Research Russ's foray into the world of Central Asian textiles began with his paper, A History of Rug Collecting. Prior to this, there had been only one acquisition from the region, a magnificent Asmalyk from Edelman in 1982. However, starting in 1985, Russ embarked on a series of purchases from Central Asia. These acquisitions quickly followed each other, including a Tschaudor Tschowal and his first suzani from Keshishian in 1986, along with numerous purchases from Arky Robbins in subsequent years. By 1996, Russ had amassed approximately 25 suzanis, and that year, his Washington suzani exhibition and talk at ACOR garnered high praise in a review by Clive Loveless (HALI 88, Sep 1996), who remarked that the exhibition “’Suzani Embroideries from the Oases of Central Asia’, at The Textile Museum in Washington, D.C., is the first exhibition in the United States devoted solely to suzanis, [and that] visitors to ACOR 3 in Santa Monica were treated …. to one of the most quietly stimulating presentations at the conference, which conveyed both Fling’s enthusiasm and caution in matters of attribution and dating.”

time, no similar book existed on suzanis or needlework.

Russ envisioned a publication that extended beyond a mere picture book. He aimed to provide context for the textiles in his collection, shedding light on the history, culture, customs, and traditions that gave rise to these remarkable pieces. For a number of years later, while doing his own research, he tried to find someone to write this book for him. But potential authors approached for the task, known for their research in the field, felt insufficiently competent, required travel to Central Asia, lacked the time, or exceeded the available budget. As late as 2006, Russ promised the collection to two museums on condition that they produce a “scholarly” catalog. While eagerly accepted each time, Russ cancelled his gift,”when they hired [someone] who had no experience or knowledge about art textiles in general, or Central Asia.”

This left him with only one option: To write the book himself, and to leave most of his collection to future auctions. He did not want a vanity project, and since the book involved his own collection, it could not show merely the best of the best. There would be some exceptional needleworks, and there would be others that were simply great. But what he could bring to the book was an engineer's love for structure: the context into which these textiles fit, the history of the oasis states, technical data for each item illustrated, a critical review of suzani dates (including that of his own suzanis), and where possible, laying out antecedents linking suzanis to Persia and India.

Each Suzani is meticulously analyzed, not just in technical terms but also in search of meaning. Consider for example, his interpretation of two suzanis from Tashkent: his explanation of the use of red, his interpretation of the roundels not just as pomegranate apples (as I might have thought) but perhaps “harking back to the Dunhuang cave paintings, perhaps the circles or their borders indicate holiness: God can be described as a circle with no beginning or end, and the sun and moon were worshipped from earliest times.” (p. 47, Khans)

Or consider the Lakai Falconry Bag (Fig 39, Khans). Russ was not content to show detailed images and technical data, but also researched the history of falconry, tracing it back to “at least 700 BCE in Assyria and practiced in all Asian and European cultures then”. He explored the types of falcons in existence then and now, identified “Gyrfalcons, whose natural habitat is the tundra along the Arctic Ocean” as the most likely type of falcon depicted in the bag, noting that “Bukharan traders imported them to Central Asia at great expense in the seventeenth century Russ likely began contemplating a book on Central Asian where the khans were keen huntsmen”, citing Burton (1986). needlework shortly thereafter, or in 1997 when Kate Fitz When publishing the Lakai Fragment (Fig 22, Khans), he Gibbon and Andrew Hale's published their book on the would not just offer aesthetic judgements, but delve Guido Goldman collection, ‘Ikat: Silks of Central Asia.’ At the in the role of China in Tibet during the Qing dynasty, 6

China’s invasion of Tibet in 1950, and the history of these textiles since then, including their distribution to the local population and eventual journey to Tibetan dealers in Kathmandu, from where they entered major museums and international collections.

Vedat Karadag's photography brought further life to his book, documenting how centuries-old traditions endured into the 21st century. These included felting in Ishkashim, Tajikistan, the dyeing process of silk yarn, and the art of ikat weaving. I wished that a greater number of textile books were written in this way, rather than picture books appealing to our modern aesthetics, bringing context alive and looking at textiles not merely as objects of beauty.

Hats Book Just three years later, Russ followed up with a book on "Hats of the Silk Road" (in the following, the Hats Book), published to accompany an exhibition at the Columbus Museum of Art. He assembled the bulk of his hat collection in just three or four years. Originally, the idea was to craft a book centered on "smalls" – items like bags, pouches, veils, amulets, and hats, extending and elaborating on some of the smaller textile s featured in his previous book. However, as Russ collaborated with Vedat Karadag, he eventually settled on the theme of hats. Hats proved to be an ideal choice, aligning with Russ's engineering background, which had honed his ability to design threedimensional objects including, as Arky Robbins reminds me, the concrete grain silos he was known and famous for.

Markarian I have already mentioned. The book Russ and Mac developed is filled with anecdotes that illustrate Markarian's ability to give honest advice, encourage a purchase even if it was from a competing dealer, or discourage the purchase of one of his own rugs if he considered it inferior or overpriced. Markarian's quick wit, profound knowledge, and keen eye, cultivated over 66 years, ignited the passion that brought Russ immense joy, lifelong friendships, and an engaging pastime filled with visits to stores, museums, auctions, and writing.

Arky Robbins played a significant role in building Russ's Suzani collection. Arky was a well-known dealer in San Francisco, initially operating his Baktiari Gallery on San Francisco's Union Street and later from the Pacific Heights (1979-1992). While only older collectors may remember him as a dealer, his legacy endures on the internet, where my determined search uncovered the modern designer rug gallery run by his son in Seattle. The internet also offers glimpses of the Robbins family's travels by car to Afghanistan - Arky with his young family in 1972 and again in 1978. Arky is now a photographer and artist, having moved to Mexico in the 1990s but currently residing in the Bay Area.

I am not sure when Russ first met Arky, nor does Arky remember, though most likely it was December 1984 when Russ made one of his many trips to museums and fairs worldwide, this time to San Francisco. His inventory records show that he made two purchases a day apart, on December 4 and 5, one from Arky and another from Peter Papp, who had taken over Arky's former Baktiari Gallery when Arky moved to the Pacific Heights. I can easily envision Russ and Arky immediately hitting it off, with Russ captivated by someone who had personally visited the Silk Road and could share fascinating stories from his journeys. The two soon became friends, Arky visited Columbus, and he became a key supplier of many of Russ's suzanis. A picture of the suzani in Plate 18 in Russ’s Suzani Book appears on the internet showing Arky and his wife Ginger at a San Fransisco Fair in 1989.

While most of the hats in the collection originated from the core Silk Road region, Russ broadened his vision to encompass its southern connections. He ventured to places like Damascus and Aleppo in Syria, weaving centers in Iran, Sindh in Pakistan, Gujarat in India, and even extended his reach to Tibet, Bhutan, and Nagaland.

While not all these places have a traditional link to the Silk Road, Russ's as a collector should be granted a degree of freedom. The Bhutanese Rain Hat and the vibrant goat hair-covered hats from Nagaland, the latter acquired from Gallery Dogon in Berlin, were deemed worthy additions to a hat collection, simply because they irresistibly capture Vedat Karadag, finally, played a pivotal role in the last our attention.

15 years of Russ's life as a collector. Vedat recollects their initial meeting in the early 1990s when Russ visited His Dealers Istanbul with his friend Gerard Paquin. However, Vedat’s Outstanding collections are built with the help of great relationship with Russ began to flourish only when the dealers. Russ purchased from many of them: Peter Papp, S. idea of the Suzani Book materialized in the early 2000s.

Mackey, Trocadero, M. Waroujian, McCullough, Adraskand, Vedat provided Russ with more than 120 objects, initially Woven Legends, Eberhart Herrmann, Horst Englehardt, suzanis and rugs, and later, most of the hats that captured Clive Loveless, Renata Halpern, and many others.

Beyond supplying objects, Vedat was examining his collection, three dealers stand out for their a significant source of inspiration for the Suzani Book. long-term relationship with Russ and their impact on his He contributed numerous photographs and stories for collection and written work. this book as well as for the Hats Book, which Russ coauthored 'with' Vedat.

these projects without Vedat's invaluable support.

Vedat's extensive travels along the Silk Road, offering guided tours to Central Asia, Xinjiang, Iran, and Syria, enriched the books. As I peruse the Suzani Book, it is evident how Vedat inspired Russ with stories and images of the region, including a Yak leaping a small stream in Eastern Tajikistan, a precarious footbridge over the Gunt River in the Fergana Valley, the faces of villagers near Shakhrisyabz, children in Dushanbe, a woman in the Khiva market selling cloves, or the ikat woven by elderly men on an ancient loom in Xinjiang. Vedat possesses an intimate knowledge of the region and its customs. The predominance of Turkic languages eases communication and makes the subjects of his photos feel at ease.

Both Russ and I benefited greatly from Vedat's visits to Columbus, and Russ was indeed fortunate to have him.

Many others contributed to Russ's collection, but I only briefly mention Patricia Cheesman (and her Studio Naenna), whom Russ met during a tour to Thailand in 1991. She was the primary source of over 60 Tai, Lao, and Southeast Asian textiles in Russ's collection. The relationship lasted for more than two decades, with pictures arriving as late as 2010. Studio Naenna continues to thrive, producing many plants used for natural dyes and preserving traditional weaving techniques. Patricia

has been a prolific author with books on the Lao-Tai textile tradition dating back to the 1980s. Russ loved Tai textiles, even if he did not research them – Patricia did this for him.

Passing on to the Next Generation All collectors, eventually, must contemplate the future of their collection. Markarian opted for a trust, but this locked textiles up, safe in a vault, yet no longer enjoyed.

Russ desired a museum bequest but also wanted a professional catalog, and hoped to keep his collection at home while alive. This complicated matters. An initial draft for the bequest featured several pages outlining the legal obligations for the donor but just one brief paragraph for the museum. "You have children," I suggested, "let them deal with it. They can keep a few pieces as heirlooms, and let other collectors enjoy your textiles the way you enjoyed them." And so it was decided.

I extend my best wishes to all bidders, hoping for good fortune and a wealth of enjoyment for those who become the successful bidders. I have no doubt that Russ would be delighted.

Happy Collection Building!

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE The property offered and sold through New Material Culture, Inc.’s (hereinafter MC) public auctions (hereinafter the Property) shall be offered and sold pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below (hereinafter the Agreement). This Agreement constitutes the complete statement of the terms and conditions pursuant to which all Property is offered for sale. By bidding at the auction,whether in person, by agent, in writing, by telephone, internet bid or any other means, the buyer of the Property (hereinafter the Buyer) agrees to be bound by this Agreement.

PROPERTY SOLD AS IS. Except as expressly stated below in the LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION, all Property is sold as is, where is, with all faults. Neither MC nor any consignor makes any guarantees, warranties or representations, expressed or implied with respect to the Property or the correctness of the catalogue or any other description of the Property. In no event shall MC or the consignor be responsible for the correctness, nor be deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin or condition of the Property. No statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a guarantee, warranty or representation.

LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION. With regard ONLY to descriptions of fine art in which a specific artist is named as the artist, all information contained in the catalogue concerning the authenticity of said Property is guaranteed for a period of 30 days from the date of the sale. If, within that 30 day period, Buyer has complied with all Terms and Conditions of Sale regarding timely payment and collection of said Property and would like to dispute the authenticity of said Property, Buyer can submit, at his own expense, two written professional opinions regarding authenticity by recognized authenticators, jointly approved by both MC and Buyer. In the event said Property is judged inauthentic by both expert authenticators, said Property may be returned if it is in the same condition as at time of sale and the Buyer’s full purchase price will be refunded. Refunds shall not include cost of transportation, insurance or other expenses that Buyer may have incurred. This limited right of rescission is available only to the original auction Buyer and does not extend or transfer to any subsequent owner, heir, agent transferee or any other third party.

WITHDRAWAL OF PROPERTY. MC reserves the right to withdraw any Property at any time for any reason and to default any sale in the event of an error or dispute.

COPYRIGHT AND REPRODUCTION RIGHTS. MC and its consignors make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the Buyer will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any Property sold. MC expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the Property sold in the catalogue. The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for MC relating to Property, including the contents of the catalogue, is, and shall remain at all times, the property of MC and shall not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else, without MCs prior written consent.

EXAMINATION OF PROPERTY. All Property is available for examination prior to bidding. The Buyers bidding signifies that the Buyer has examined the Property as fully as desired or has chosen not to examine the Property. MC recommends that prospective bidders examine all items in which they have an interest prior to bidding.

BIDDING RESERVES. Some of the Property in the sale is offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and MC below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the low estimates listed. Bidding will begin at a price appropriate in the auctioneers discretion. The auctioneer always reserves the right to withdraw Property for any reason he deems appropriate.

ORDER OF BIDS. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue. MC reserves the right to determine any and all matters regarding the order, precedence or appropriate increment of bids or the constitution of lots.

Please be aware that MC accepts bids from various sources including online bidding platforms, phone bidders, floor bidders, and online and in-house absentee bidders. The auctioneer will accept bids in the order they are received during the course of the live auction.

Absentee bidders please take note: in situations where there is more than one party bidding on a lot when the bidding stops, you risk losing the lot to another buyer, depending on the order the bids are received by the auctioneer during the course of the live auction.

The safest way to ensure you win a lot is to bid live (online, in-house, or by phone).

ABSENTEE AND PHONE BIDDING. Absentee and phone bidding are permitted by prospective bidders who cannot be present at the auction. Please complete the Absentee Bid and/or Phone Reservation form. Absentee bids are executed competitively and confidentially. All reservations for phone bidding are held in the strictest confidence and must be received by 5 pm EST the day before the auction. No additional phone bids will be accepted at such time including additions when speaking with a staff person on the phone. Written absentee bids may be submitted on the Absentee Bid Form up to 30 lots before the item comes up for auction.

Leaving an absentee or phone bid on a lot indicates your willingness to open the bidding at one half the printed estimate, and gives the auctioneer the authority to open the bidding at that level, or to open the bidding on a lot with a printed reserve at the reserve price.

In the case of identical absentee bids, the bid received first will prevail. Bids left on internet portals are not executed until the item is offered in the live auction and the order in which they are received is not a factor.

CUT BIDS. We do not accept cut bids, (bids less than the last interval) from the floor or from absentee bidders including phone and internet bidders. Thus, it is possible that a lot could go to another bidder for less than an absentee bid. For example, if the bids are progressing in $10 dollar increments and an absentee falls at a $5 increment we will not take the bid since it is less than the $10 increment.

FOLLOWING ARE GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR BIDDING INCREMENTS: $0-$500 by $25 increments $500-$1,000 by $50 increments $1,000 $3,000 by $100 increments $3,000-$5,000 by $250 increments $5,000-$10,000 by $500 increments

MC reserves the right to not issue a Buyers number or to withhold merchandise if appropriate credit has not been established. Credit arrangements must be made by the Friday prior to the day of auction so bank statements can be verified. Any bidder that plans on spending in excess of $100,000 should make arrangements with the MC accounting department at least five (5) days in advance of the sale, as a deposit may be required to participate. All Property purchased must be paid for no later than 5 pm EST on the seventh business day following the sale. MC may impose, and the Buyer agrees to pay, a monthly interest charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any Property not paid by the Buyer within thirty (30) days of the date of sale. MC reserves the right to rescind any sale of Property in the event payment is not received within seven (7) business days of the sale.

Items not collected or shipped by the 15th day following the sale will incur storage fees at a rate of $10.00 per lot per day regardless of the size or value of the lot. Items not collected by the 30th day following the sale may be sold by MC or sent by MC to a public warehouse at the sole risk of, and charge to, the Buyer and MC may prohibit the Buyer from participating, directly or indirectly, as a bidder or purchaser in any future sale. No Property may be removed from MCs premises until the Buyer has paid in full the purchase price including Buyers premium. MC shall have no liability for any damage to Property left on its premises after the auction. A defaulting Buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to MC a continuing security interest of first priority in any Property or money of, or owing to such Buyer in MCs possession, and MC may retain and apply such Property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to MC. MC shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code.

PACKING AND SHIPPING. Buyer agrees that packing and shipping are done at the Buyers risk and that Buyer will pay in advance all packing expenses, materials, carrier fees and insurance charges. Shipping is the sole responsibility of the Buyer. MC will have no liability for any loss or damage to shipped items. Upon request, MC will provide a list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and overseas.

TAXES. All purchases are subject to Pennsylvania sales tax unless the Buyer possesses a Pennsylvania sales tax exemption number.

Exemption numbers from other states are accepted in Pennsylvania if presented with a business card or letterhead. Dealers, museums, and other qualifying parties can apply for a Pennsylvania exemption number prior to the auction. Buyer is responsible for any and all tariffs, taxes and assessments that might be made on the Property. International Buyers are responsible for tariffs, taxes, or assessments of shipped items to the Buyers country.

IMPORT/EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the United States, such as items that include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of Property from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the Buyer.

Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of said Property.

The Buyer agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this Agreement may be brought, and any action against MC in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought, in the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any federal court sitting therein. The Buyer consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waives objections that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit.

AMENDMENTS TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS. No claimed modification or amendment of this Agreement on the part of any party shall be deemed extant, enforceable or provable unless it is in writing that has been signed by the parties to this Agreement. No course of dealing and no delay or omission on the part of MC in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right and waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy of MC on any future occasion. © 2023 Material Culture, All Rights Reserved
