FINDING in the “Part of creating is understanding that there is always more to do; nothing is ever completely finished.” –Bunny Mellon

PERFECT I’ve long admired Bunny Mellon for her self-assured, seemingly effortless elegance and keen eye for design. The great American style icon’s ability to create casual elegance is something that many work tirelessly to achieve but only few can realize. While seemingly simple, achieving that “imperfect perfection,” as Meryl Gordon so eloquently wrote in her biography of Bunny, is actually quite challenging. Bunny lived alongside some of the world’s greatest works of art and fine furnishings, yet styled them in unexpected and unassuming ways: masterpieces casually leaned against a wall, priceless porcelain placed in the back of cupboards and rare books mixed among the average. Bunny collected what she loved and sought to surround herself with beauty—or as we say these days, things that brought her joy. While she could afford the best, Bunny disliked too much perfection. In fact, she would famously carry around a pair of sewing scissors to quickly roughen up something if she thought it looked too perfect. Notoriously private, Bunny’s homes and gardens were shared only with her closest friends during her lifetime. When her massive estate went to auction, many were astonished by the sheer volume of what she had amassed over her lifetime (nearly 2,000 lots). From jewels fit for royalty to masterpieces by Manet and Rothko, and of course her iconic baskets, the sale was perhaps the first public showing of what had only been seen in person by friends and confidants. As a lead sponsor of Texas Design Week in Houston, NOAG recently had the privilege of hosting accomplished tastemaker and friend, Bryan Huffman, and Thomas Lloyd, Bunny’s grandson, for an intimate evening of storytelling and conversation celebrating the style legend. Last year, the dynamic duo co-authored and published Bunny Mellon Style, which illustrates many of Mellon’s gardens and interiors.

In preparing for this month’s Estates Auction, I found myself thinking a lot about Bunny, her boundless curiosity and creativity, and her approach to collecting. In the pages that follow, I encourage you to view each item through Bunny’s eyes. Find the beauty in imperfection. Discover something that interests you— perhaps it’s a charming painting that makes you smile, a piece of jewelry that makes your eyes sparkle or a unique object that invites conversation. No matter how formal or informal, enjoy it in your everyday. I am honored to reveal that our May 21-22 Estates Auction features an important single-owner f ine art collection that provides a glimpse into Southern Louisiana’s rich history and unique landscapes – f rom the city to the bayou. We’ve paired many of these works with historical photos, thanks to images f rom The Historic New Orleans Collection. And of course, the sale also includes a dazzling selection of jewelry, including a stunning 11.46-carat diamond ring, in addition to furniture, carpets, lighting and everything in between. To paraphrase Bunny, our work as collectors and creators is never quite done—there is always room for more! Exhibition for the two-day sale begins on Monday, May 9. On Saturday, May 14, we are delighted to host a gallery talk with our own Claudia Kheel, a fine art specialist and leading expert on Louisiana art. We hope you will join us in person to learn more about this unique collection. I look forward to seeing you all at the gallery. If you are browsing and bidding from afar, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us by phone or email to request extra photos or condition reports. As always, we are here to assist with anything you may need. See you at the auction!

4 Attributed to Charles-Francois Grenier, dit Lacroix de Marseille (French, ca. 1700-1782) “Pecheurs dans des Rochers pres d’ un Petit Port” oil on canvas partially signed/inscribed “Lac...” lower right and identified in old French script on stretcher. Framed. 19” x 23-1/4”, framed 22-3/4” x 26-7/8” Provenance: Private collection; thence by descent. $2,000-$4,000

Charles Francois Grenier de Lacroix, also known as Lacroix de Marseille, was a prolific 18th-century landscape/seascape painter, who specialized in capriccio scenes, characterized by fantasy landscapes and seaports with Roman ruins, fishing boats and staffage. Little is known of his early years. Born in Marseille, Lacroix is believed to have apprenticed with Claude Joseph Vernet, traveling in Rome with him in 1750, and 1751 where he gained international recognition after he copied four of Vernet’s paintings for Sir Matthew Fetherstonhaugh, 1st Baronet, with near identical bravura as Vernet - the hand reportedly indistinguishable aside from the signature. After Vernet was summoned back to France in 1753 by Louis XV for a royal commission, Lacroix remained in Rome for nearly a quarter of a century, creating a lucrative career in capriccio scenes for wealthy patrons that further aggrandized the Grand Tour, working under the name Della Croce and Lacroix de Marseille. The work offered here exhibits many of the key characteristics associated with Lacroix’s mature oeuvre, notably the rocky bluffs with natural or carved arches offset by low horizons and wide expansive skies, deep ultramarine blue and green reflective seas seamlessly integrated with diminutive maritime trade in warm colors of ochre and brown. The work is vaguely reminiscent of French and Italian Mediterranean harbors, yet idealized and intimate. As Vernet notoriously stated about his seascapes and the genre he imparted to his followers and pupils: “Others may know better how to paint the sky, the earth, the ocean; no one knows better than I how to paint a picture.”

Felix Jules Pecheux was born on January 18, 1843 in Joigny, Yonne, the son of carpenter Felix Prudent Pecheux and his wife Louise Godard. He undoubtedly learned much of his craft from his father, but also evidently studied in Cologne, Germany, where he was living at the time of his marriage banns to Henriette Isabelle Acchart in 1875. Soon after his marriage in Paris he was engaged by Maison Girard, purveyors of artistic furniture and tapestries. By 1883, Pecheux was the director of the house (“[We cannot draw too much attention here of the Parisian high-life to the vast and luxurious stores at 61 avenue de Wagram, where the most diverse styles and most precious pieces of furniture stand side-byside]” gushed the April 2, 1883 edition of L’Etoile Artistique), and in 1884 he assumed ownership of the business. His magnificent carved suites were showcased in journals and exhibits of the day, and even by the end of the century, when such monumental architectural revival styles had become wildly eclectic and all but out of favor, Le Select noted in 1895 that “[The great PecheuxGirard house has understood this error of false taste and, faithful to its principles, it strives, in the composition of furniture, to impress its customers with these general principles: simplicity in beauty, and respect for form in even the least important objects.

It is necessary to appropriate the furniture of each room . . . to seek to put in the different parts of the whole a perfect harmony, which strikes us at once even before we have studied the details.]” A February 1906 sale at Hotel Druout featured a dining suite by Pecheux, remarkably similar in description to the present lot: “[Beautiful Renaissance style dining room in carved walnut, composed of: a large two-part sideboard, the upper section supported by colonnettes, opening in the middle to two small doors decorated with figurines of pages and chatelaines, with niches on the sides, the bottom section opening to four small doors, those in the center decorated with the heads of characters among ornaments; a sideboard of the same work; a table with extensions and twelve chairs covered in needlepoint tapestry with characters and animals in landscapes. From Maison PecheuxGirard.]” The suite sold for 2700 francs (about $14,000 today). Changing styles and tastes could not be stayed, however, and Pecheux was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1907. He moved to Buenos Aires where he became a decorator. When he died has not yet been discovered, but ship’s manifests show he and his wife traveling from Argentina to London for his decorating clients as late as 1919.

344 George Lance (British, 1802-1864) “Now Reigns Here a Very Very Peacock” oil on canvas unsigned, with “Owen Edgar Gallery” label en verso. Framed. 68” x 52”, framed 75” x 59” Provenance: Owen Edgar Gallery, London, England; Private collection, California. Exhibited: Royal Academy, London 1855, No. 432, Centennial Exhibition Philadelphia, PA. 1876, Owen Edgar Gallery, London, “Victorian Master Paintings”, May-June 1984. $10,000-$15,000

In this monumental painting of a regal peacock amidst an extravagant still life, set in what appears to be a palace garden, Lance is simultaneously showcasing his virtuosity with a brush and his keen eye for observation of botany, anatomy, and architecture, inspired by Dutch and Flemish Old Masters. The paintings of the seventeenth-century artists were rife with symbolism, wherein depictions of flowers, fruits and vegetables acted as messages of morality and religious reminders to avoid gluttony and excess. The peacock has been depicted in art since the ancient times and is seen as a symbol of beauty, rebirth, and wealth, as well as of sinful pride. The birds originally came from India over 4,000 years ago where they were symbols of royalty, and from the 1800s, they began to populate Western visual and decorative culture. Still life paintings were popular with the rising middle classes, starting in the 17th century and continuing well into the 19th and early 20th centuries. Indeed, George Lance, an artist of modest background and no monetary support from family, decided to specialize in still life paintings as he needed the economic security of a steady market.

Growing up in rural Essex might have also had an influence on his exhaustive study of the chosen subject matter of botany and horticulture. Nineteenth-century England saw much social, cultural, and economic change, and many important scientific discoveries were made during this period. Indeed, all branches of science including botany, zoology, geology, anthropology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, and medicine experienced major developments and expansions. The Royal Society led the effort to promote understanding of science and scientific inquiry which was directly linked to technological innovation. Indeed, Victorians witnessed how these various scientific and technological discoveries brought economic success which enabled Britain to become the most powerful nation during this era. This economic success resulted in the even greater rise of bourgeois class, members of whom soon became patrons of the art and had purchasing power allowing for works of art to adorn their new lavish homes, such as the work offered here.

EW ORLEANS AUCTION GALLERIES is honored to present a thoughtfully curated collection of fine art that offers a glimpse into Southern Louisiana’s rich history and unique landscape, from romantic late nineteenth-century bayou scenes to early twentieth-century depictions of city life in New Orleans. As Louisiana’s natural environment slowly transforms and disappears, and urbanity encroaches on the distinct character of historic neighborhoods, works such as these are increasingly important to our understanding and appreciation of the region’s layered past and uncertain future.

WILLIAM HENRY BUCK The Norwegian-born Buck studied in Boston before settling in New Orleans in 1860, where he worked in the cotton commission merchant’s office. Buck continued to pursue his artistic inclinations by apprenticing under the French-born painter Richard Clague. Claque was credited with bringing the Barbizon School of landscape painting to Louisiana. By painting outside “plein air”, Claque adapted the tenants of Barbizon School to the Louisiana landscape reflecting the unique topography, culture and sense of place. Around 1880, Buck left the cotton business to focus full time as artist, opened a studio in New Orleans and traveled to south Louisiana, capturing the beauty of the bayous, swamps and the majestic live oak trees. In the painting “Cabins in the Bayou”, Buck focused on a row of Acadian cabins nestled along the waterway. A herd of cattle graze under a live oak tree and a sugar mill was revealed in the background. Since the commercial granulation of sugar developed by Etienne de Bore, sugarcane was and remains a principal crop of South Louisiana. An active member of the burgeoning art community of the late 19th century, Buck shared studios with fellow artist Andres Molinary, Paul Poincy and Achille Perelli and exhibited his landscape paintings at the local galleries of W. E. Seebold, Wagener’s and Lilienthal’s. His work was included at the 1884 World’s Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition held in Audubon Park, and with Southern Art Union and Artists’ Association of New Orleans.

W I L L I A M W O O D WA R D In 1886, the Camors sisters, Bertha and Emma, opened “The Shop of the Two Sisters” on the first floor off the courtyard of their in-law’s residence on Royal Street. The sisters’ shop specialized in ball gowns and assorted finery, including lace and perfumes imported from France, and occasionally invited guests for tea and cakes in the large courtyard. The popular shop remained open for twenty years and the courtyard became known as the “Court of Two Sisters”. As an artist and ardent historic preservationist, William Woodward documented the historic buildings in the French Quarter, many of which had become derelict and run down. He often used Raffaelli oil crayons on board for his French Quarter views, preferring the convenience and desired textural effect for the architecture. William Woodward’s “Courtyard on Rue Royale in 1904” provided both an accurate historical depiction of the courtyard and a visual record of the cultural life in the French Quarter. He revisited this courtyard scene several times over the course of his career. The first version of 1904, now in the New Orleans Museum of Art, depicts an empty courtyard. For this painting, the second version, Woodward added the Camors sisters in the courtyard outside of their shop and an African American woman on the second-floor balcony, shaking a rug over the railing; bringing an enduring representation of daily life in the French Quarter at the turn of the century. After retiring from Tulane University’s Architecture School and confined to a wheelchair after surgery, Woodward settled with his wife, Louise, into a studio/home in Biloxi, Mississippi. In 1938, he published the book French Quarter Etchings to continue his efforts of bringing awareness to the preservation of the historic area. These prints were based on his earlier Raffaelli oil crayon French Quarter paintings. He created an etching for the book of “Courtyard on Rue Royal in 1904” based on this painting and included the Camors sisters. In 1963, Joe Fein, Jr. opened the Court of Two Sisters restaurant. The legacy of the Camors sisters’ serving a repast on the courtyard was continued. The Fein family continues to pay homage to the Camors sisters by restoring and maintaining their graves. According to local lore, the ghosts of the sisters occasionally make appearances in the dining room and kitchen of the restaurant.

ALBERTA KINSEY Raised on her family’s farm in Ohio, Alberta Kinsey pursued an artistic career and studied at the Cincinnati Art Academy and Chicago Art School. When the school where Kinsey was teaching closed due to World War I, the artist moved to the French Quarter. There she found an emerging bohemian art colony of writers, artists and photographers hailed at the time as ìthe Renaissance of the Vieux Carre” by The Double-Dealer magazine. Kinsey immersed herself into the artistic community, participated in the Arts and Crafts Club, befriended writer Lyle Saxon and worked to preserve the historic and the then-deteriorating French Quarter. The painting “Fruit Stand, French Market” illustrates the once daily routine of shopping at one of the city’s markets including the Poydras and St. Roch Markets.

HAROLD RUDOLPH Harold Rudolph arrived in New Orleans in 1873, and his abilities as an artist were lauded by both the New Orleans Republic and the Daily Picayune newspapers. Art dealer William E. Seebold supported Rudolph, as he did many local artists, by giving him a studio above his Canal Street gallery, exhibition opportunities and frequent dinners at his home. The Seebold stencil on the verso of the canvas reflects the relationship between patron and artist. Initially a portrait painter, Rudolph focused on southern landscapes after the death of his brother-in-law and portrait partner.

W I L L I A M A I K E N WA L K E R In 1972, LSU Press published August Trovaioli and Roulhac Toledano’s book William Aiken Walker: Southern Genre Painter. In conjunction with the publication of their book, the Louisiana State Museum organized the exhibition “The World of William Aiken Walker.” Born in Charleston, South Carolina, William Aiken Walker worked as a draftsman during the Civil War, creating maps and drawings for the Confederate Engineers Corps. After the war, Walker traveled south and painted scenes of New Orleans and black sharecroppers working in cotton fields. Although these workers were no longer enslaved, Walker’s paintings reflect the poverty, arduous labor conditions, and limited opportunities for the black community in the south at the turn of the century. Walker visited southern resorts, hotels, health spas and cities selling his paintings to tourists and gift shops. He frequently visited New Orleans and could be found painting on the corner of Royal and Dumaine Streets.

Anderson was born, raised and schooled in Virginia, before venturing West in 1848. Settling first in St. Louis, where he was part owner of a dry-goods firm and then a successful broker, he eventually made his way to Colorado Springs. In Colorado, Anderson was responsible for the building and maintenance of the Bank Building, a business block which was the first such block of importance in the soon flourishing city. In 1859, Anderson wed Sarah Francis Stickney, the daughter of Benjamin Stickney, the proprietor of The Planter’s House Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri. The hotel was a grand, four-story structure with over 300 rooms, all richly outfitted with the most opulent fittings and furnishings created by the leading artisans and craftspeople of the day.

2. Before the Auction (a). ALL SALES ARE “AS IS, WHERE IS” WITH NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER. (i) NEITHER NOAG NOR THE SELLER PROVIDES ANY GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY AS TO THE NATURE, DESCRIPTION, GENUINENESS, PROVENANCE, IMPORTANCE, OR CONDITION OF THE LOT. All Sales and Auctions are without any representation or warranty of any kind by NOAG or the Seller. Bidders and Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the Lots and the matters referred to in the catalogue entry, the Condition Report, or in any other statement or writing provided. All Sales are final and are “AS IS WHERE IS.” (ii) No warranty of redhibition. ANY WARANTY AGAINST REDHIBITORY DEFECTS IS WAIVED AND EXCLUDED.

In addition, NOAG and Seller provide no warranties, guarantees, or representations as to whether a Lot is fit for its ordinary use, fit for Buyer’s intended use or for Buyer’s particular purpose. (iii) No warranty against eviction. ANY WARRANTY AGAINST EVICTION IS WAIVED AND EXCLUDED. In the event that Buyer is evicted from possession of whole or part of the Lot, neither NOAG nor Seller have any duty whatsoever to return any part of the Purchase Price to Buyer. Buyer is buying at Buyer’s sole risk and peril as to third parties who may claim rights in the Lot after the Sale. (iv) No warranty as to authorship. NOAG does not make any express or implied warranty as to authorship of works of art and fine art.

Except as required by local law, any express or implied warranty of any kind whatsoever is excluded by this Section 2(a). (b). Examination of property / Condition Reports. Prospective Buyers and Bidders are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the Auction takes place. As a convenience, Bidders may request that NOAG produce a Condition Report (“Condition Report”) for a Lot, which, if produced, will provide additional detail concerning the condition of the Lot as observed by NOAG’s staff. NOAG reserves the right to decline to produce a Condition Report for any specific Lot, for any reason and in NOAG’s sole discretion. Rev. 01/04/17

Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by NOAG of any kind. References in the Catalogue entry or the Condition Report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the Bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. (ii) Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Seller, NOAG, or any of NOAG’s officers, employees or agents, are responsible for the correctness of any statement of whatever kind concerning any Lot, whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or omissions in description or for any faults or defects in any Lot. (iii) Any Estimates provided should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Any written or oral appraisal, Estimate or other statement of NOAG or our representatives with respect to the estimated or expected selling price of any Lot of Property is a statement of opinion only and shall not be relied upon by Bidders or prospective Bidders as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price. (iv) NOAG shall not be liable for any errors or omissions in catalogue or other descriptions of the Property. Neither NOAG nor the Seller is responsible in any way for errors and omissions in the catalogue, or any supplemental material. (d). Further acknowledgement. As a Bidder and prospective Buyer, you further agree and acknowledge that: (i) You are not relying on NOAG’s skill or judgment in selecting to purchase any Lot; (ii) No oral or written statements in the Auction Catalogue, Condition Report, or elsewhere are the cause of or reason behind your purchase of any Lot; and you would have incurred such purchase regardless of any oral or written statements about condition, attribution, kind, quality, value, or authorship made in the catalogue or elsewhere; (iii) NOAG did not and could not have known that condition, attribution, kind, quality, expressed value, or authorship is the cause or reason why you decide to purchase any Lot; (iv) Your purchase of any Lot is not intended to gratify a nonpecuniary interest; and (v) NOAG did not know, nor should it have known, that any oral or written statement about a Lot in the catalogue, Condition Report or elsewhere would cause a nonpecuniary loss to a Buyer.

(i) As a convenience to Bidders, NOAG may allow a Bidder to submit an absentee bid (“Absentee Bid”) or telephone bid (“Telephone Bid”) by filling out (in full) the section of the attached registration form marked “Absentee Bids / Telephone Bids.” In order to submit an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid for an Auction, that registration form must be filled out and submitted to NOAG no later than 5:00 p.m. central time on the last business day before the commencement of the Auction. (NOAG reserves the right to accept late Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid submissions in NOAG’s sole discretion.) All Absentee Bid submissions must include a maximum bid amount (“Maximum Bid”). (ii) If an Absentee Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, the Auctioneer or other NOAG staff will place the Absentee Bid at the amount of the opening bid amount, and will increase the amount as necessary until the earlier of (x) the Absentee Bid is the Winning Bid; or (y) the amount reaches the Maximum Bid. All such actions in this paragraph are at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer and/ or NOAG. If NOAG receives Absentee Bids on a particular Lot with identical Maximum Bid amounts, and at the Auction these are the highest bids on the Lot, the Lot will be sold to the person whose Absentee Bid was received and accepted first. In the event of a tie bid between an Absentee Bid and a Bid submitted by a Bidder physically present at the Auction (or a Telephone Bid), the Lot will be sold to physically present Bidder (or bidder submitting the Telephone Bid).

Rev. 01/04/17

(iii) If a Telephone Bid is submitted and accepted, at the time of the auction of the affected Lot, NOAG staff shall attempt to contact the Bidder using the telephone number provided. If successfully contacted, the Bidder shall then be afforded the opportunity to place a Bid on the Lot by telephone. Telephone Bids may be recorded. By submitting a Telephone Bid, the Bidder consents to the recording of the conversation and the placing of the Bid. (iv) Execution of Absentee Bids and Telephone Bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the Auction and neither NOAG nor the Auctioneer shall have any liability for failing to execute an Absentee Bid or Telephone Bid or for errors and omissions in connection therewith. (d). Video or digital images. At some Auctions there may be a video or digital screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image and we do not accept liability for such errors. NOAG reserves the right to video tape and record proceedings at any Auctions. Any personal information obtained will be held in confidence by NOAG but may be used or shared with our affiliates and marketing partners for customer analysis purposes and to help us to tailor our services to buyer requirements. Any Bidder attending an Auction in person who does not wish to be video-taped may make arrangements to make a Telephone Bid in accordance with Section 3(c) above. (e). Reserves. All Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold (the “Reserve”). The Reserve for a Lot will not exceed the low Estimate for that Lot. The Auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the Reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The Auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the Reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lot may be sold at a Hammer Price below the Reserve, at the discretion of the Auctioneer and NOAG, in any manner consistent with the agreement between NOAG and the Seller. (f). No bidding by Seller. Under no circumstances shall Seller (as agent or principal), whether by itself or through its representatives, employees or agents (except as through the Auctioneer as set forth in Section 3(e) above), enter or cause to be entered a Bid on Seller’s Lot. (g). Auctioneer’s discretion. The Auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any Bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw or divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots, and in the event of any error or dispute, to determine the Winning Bid, to continue the bidding, to cancel the Sale or to reoffer and resell the Lot or item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the Sale, NOAG’s sale record is conclusive. Unless otherwise announced by the Auctioneer at the time of Sale, all Bids are per Lot as numbered in the Catalogue and no Lot shall be divided for Sale. NOAG and/or the Auctioneer may withdraw any Lot at any time before such Lot is offered at Auction, for any reason and in their sole and absolute discretion. (h). Successful bid and passing of risk. The Auctioneer shall have absolute discretion in determining the Winning Bid and the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer marks the acceptance of the highest and best bid as the Winning Bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the Lot but not its title passes to the Buyer immediately upon announcement of the Winning Bid at the Auction. (i). Post-auction sale. In the event that there is no Winning Bid at Auction for a Lot, or the Lot is withdrawn from the Auction, or the Sale is cancelled for non-payment pursuant to Section 4(g) below, NOAG may sell the Lot at public or private sale at any time thereafter, in a manner consistent with the agreement between Seller and NOAG. (j). NOAG assumes no responsibility for failure to execute Bids for any reason whatsoever.

4. After the Auction (a). In order to consummate and complete the Sale, the Buyer must tender payment in full of all of the following amounts (all such amounts together being the “Purchase Price”) to NOAG: (i) the Hammer Price; and (ii) the “Buyer’s Premium” consisting of a premium of 25% of the Hammer Price (discounted to 22% if the method of payment is by check, cash, or wire transfer [subject to a $30 fee for domestic wires and a $60 fee for international wires] by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction) up to and including a Hammer Price of $200,000 and 12% of the amount by which the Lot’s Hammer Price exceeds $200,000; and (iii) Any applicable Louisiana, state, local, and federal or other taxes, calculated as required by law. Any documentation of tax exemption must be provided by the Bidder contemporaneously with the execution of the attached registration form. (b). Payment and passing of title. The Buyer and any other Bidders are responsible for contacting NOAG for Auction results during the week after the conclusion of the Auction. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(i) below which may require earlier payment, the Buyer must pay the full Purchase Price no later than 4:30 pm central time on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction. Payments may be submitted during business hours to: New Orleans Auction Galleries, 333 St. Joseph Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130, Telephone number: 504-566-1849. Payments may be made by certified check, cash, wire transfer, or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express). Payments will be accepted by non-certified check only in NOAG’s sole discretion, from Buyers that have been qualified by NOAG in NOAG’s sole discretion. Title to the Lot does not pass to the Buyer until the full amount of the Purchase Price has been tendered and received by NOAG in good cleared funds, even in circumstances where the Lot has been released to the Buyer. (c). Credit Cards. Your signature on this form constitutes permission to charge the full amount of the Purchase Price on your credit card, if you are the Buyer on a Lot and payment is not received within five business days of the close of the Auction. Your signature on this form also constitutes permission to charge the full amount of Storage Charges (defined below), if and when accrued, on a periodic basis on your credit card. (d). Release of Lot to Buyer. No Lot will be released to the Buyer unless and until NOAG receives full payment of the Purchase Price, and such payment has cleared and NOAG has received confirmation of all funds owed. At its sole discretion, NOAG may release a specific Lot at any time, notwithstanding the foregoing provision. In addition, NOAG may require that Lots not be released until the Buyer has cleared additional checks in NOAG’s sole discretion, including without limitation, any anti-money laundering or antiterrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction. In the event that a Buyer fails to complete any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks to NOAG’s satisfaction, NOAG shall be entitled to cancel the Sale and take any other action permitted or required under applicable law. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lots cannot be released until after the conclusion of the Auction. (e). Export/Import license and Dealers. It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import license. The denial of any license or any delay in obtaining licenses shall not justify the rescission of any sale nor any delay in making bill payment for the Lot; and shall not limit or alter any of the obligations of the Buyer herein. Dealers purchasing for resale must enter appropriate their Dealer Resale Number on the attached registration form and provide NOAG with proper documentation. Rev. 01/04/17

(f). Storage charge. Subject to the foregoing provisions, any Lot that is not picked up by the end of the day on the fifteenth calendar day following the conclusion of the Auction is subject to an additional storage charge of $5.00 per Lot per day (“Storage Charge”) for as long as the Lot is stored at NOAG’s facilities. The outstanding amount of this Storage Charge must be paid in full (in addition to the Purchase Price) before such Lot will be released to the Buyer. Such Storage Charge accrues on a daily basis and is billed monthly. All items handled or stored will be at the Buyer’s risk. NOAG is not liable for any damage to Lots after the conclusion of the Auction. (g). Remedies for non-payment. If the Buyer fails to make payment in full of the Purchase Price in good cleared funds within the time required by Section 4(b) above, or payment in full of any applicable Storage Charge when incurred, NOAG shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting any other rights or remedies available by law): (i) to charge outstanding amounts to the Buyer’s credit card; (ii) to charge interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (but not to exceed the highest amount chargeable under applicable law); (iii) to hold the Buyer liable for the total amount due and to commence legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law; (iv) to exercise any other remedy or remedies available under the law, including but not limited to a second sale of said item in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, including the subsequent enforcement of any deficiency against the initial buyer; (v) to cancel the sale; (vi) to resell the property publicly or privately on such terms as we shall think fit; (vii) to pay the Seller an amount up to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting Buyer; (viii) to set off against any amounts which NOAG may owe the Buyer in any other transactions, the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the Buyer; (ix) where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to NOAG, in respect of different transactions, to apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs; (x) to reject at any future Auction any Bids made by or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit from the Buyer before accepting any Bids; (xi) to exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security and/or privilege over any property in our possession owned by the Buyer, whether by way of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to the fullest extent permitted under Louisiana law (including without limitation under La. Civil Code art. 3247, La. R.S. 10:7-209 and 10:7-210 and other applicable law), or (xii) to take such other action as NOAG deems necessary or appropriate. In connection with the item (xi) above, the Buyer will be deemed to have granted such security to NOAG and NOAG may retain the affected Lot and any property of the Buyer as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations to NOAG and to the Seller

If we resell the property under Section 4(g)(vi) above, the Buyer shall be liable for payment of any deficiency between the total amount originally due to us and the price obtained upon resale as well as for all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the default. If we pay any amount to the Seller under paragraph (vii) above, the Buyer acknowledges that NOAG shall have all of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to pursue the Buyer for such amount. (h). Shipping and packing. All shipping, packing, and transportation of Lots from NOAG’s facilities is the responsibility of Buyer. NOAG may, as a courtesy, assist Buyer with necessary arrangements, but by doing so, NOAG assumes no responsibility or liability for shipping, packing, moving, or transportation, including without limitation damage to Lots, damage to Buyer’s vehicle, or any personal injury of any persons involved. (i). Earlier payment may be required. For any specific Lot, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(b) above, NOAG may require, in its sole discretion, that the Hammer Price for the Lot be paid immediately upon the striking of the Auctioneer’s hammer and announcement of the Winning Bid, with the balance of the Purchase Price being due by the close of the Auction.

5.Copyright The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for NOAG relating to a Lot including without limitation the contents of the Catalogue, is and shall remain at all times the property of NOAG and shall not be used by the Buyer or Bidder, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent. NOAG and the Seller make no representation or warranty that the Buyer of a Lot will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.

6. Severability If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

7. Data Collection In connection with the operation of our auction business, NOAG may need to seek personal information from Bidders or obtain information about Bidders from third parties (e.g., credit checks from banks). Such information will be processed and kept by us in confidence. Some of Bidders’ personal data may also need to be shared with third party service providers (e.g., shipping or storage companies) for Bidders’ benefit. By participating in an Auction, you agree to all previously stated disclosure.

8. Law and Jurisdiction The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale, the conduct of the Auction and any matters connected with any of the foregoing shall be governed and interpreted under the laws of the State of Louisiana. By bidding at the Auction and/or through execution of the attached registration form, the Bidder consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Louisiana and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the Eastern District of Louisiana.
