AIRSTREAM AND CARS 1-5

1 Lot 1 A 1953 Airstream ‘Flying Cloud’ travel trailer, serial number 7541, one of the most iconic designs of the 20th century, the polished alloy ‘bubble’ shape of an Airstream travel trailer has turned heads on the highway since the 1930s, 21ft approximately £8,000 - 12,000 Imported from the US in 2006 and towed to its present site, this has been kept outside and raised off its wheels. The interior has been stripped out and the remaining original parts have been kept, which includes the original Marvel fridge, a double sink and some cased furniture that has been stored flat-packed for some years. The Airstream was delivered to the saleroom on a low-loader and we believe that it would need to undergo some restoration work inside and out.

Lot 2 1963 Land Rover Series 2A, Registration Number: 610 WWC, Date of first registration: 15-11-1963, Chassis Number: 24111494B, Engine no: 25206725F, Recorded Mileage: 64,050 miles £5,000 - 7,000 The Land Rover Series 2A was launched more than sixty years ago in 1961. A massive improvement over the previous model, thanks to its curvaceous and more accommodating body, it was a welcome update to Solihull’s finest, which provided the only viable transport for farmers and most of the Third World.

Initially available with either the two-litre Library image petrol or diesel engine from the Series 1, a move to larger and more powerful engines of the 2.25ltr was inevitable. The 72bhp petrol engine might displace the same as its diesel stablemate, but is a completely different animal, being silky smooth and a joy to rev. Though a little thirsty over the diesel equivalent, the moderate increase in fuel consumption is a small price to pay for what is, indisputably, a much nicer driving experience.

This series 2A SWB is an early example with an 88in steel chassis and 2¼ ltr 4 cylinder petrol engine, 4 speed gearbox and later fitted Fairey overdrive, finished in air force blue with a cream hardtop, on 16in cream painted steel wheels. The Land Rover has been in the possession of the current owner since November 2012 and has been professionally repainted and rewired. The vehicle starts, runs and stops as it should, but leaves some further general tidying up to be done to the interior and engine bay, though very useable in the meantime.

There is a folder of MOTs and early registration forms. The last MOT is dated 14 February 2018.

3 Lot 3 1968 Land Rover Series 2A, Registration: KER 240F, Date of registration: replacement V5 application in process, Vin: 25114865D, Mileage: 40,821 £3,000 - 5,000 This Series 2A LWB is finished in bronze green with a cream hard top, is a very original vehicle having had no updating or restoration. fitted with a heater and demist vents, Rexine seats, adjustable driver’s seat, spare wheel and clamp are present. Even though it has been standing for several years, the panels remain relatively straight, original number plates, lights and radiator. The brakes and clutch have lost pressure, but with help from a battery pack and quick clean of the points, the engine burst into life. From a very brief glance, the chassis appears to be good with some expected rust, but the vehicle is a worthy restoration project.

Lot 4 A 1996 Alfa Romeo 145 Cloverleaf three-door hatchback, Registration Number: B10 ARB, Chassis Number: ZAR93000002081011, Engine no: 0155989, Recorded Mileage: 49,443, Date of registration: 30-04-1996 £1,000 - 1,500 This Alfa Romeo 145 2.0-litre Twin Spark ‘Cloverleaf’ is a low-mileage example of the lesser-seen junior hot hatch. The 1970cc 4-cylinder twin-spark petrol 16v double overhead cam engine producing 155bhp, reportedly achieving 0-60mph in 8 seconds. The Alfa Romeo is a one-owner-from-new car and appears to be a very clean example finished in red.

Last MOT dated 24 April 2019 and has a recently replaced battery. The car runs and drives as it should, but will need recommissioning in readiness for a new MOT. The 145 Quadrifoglio (145 Cloverleaf in the United Kingdom), launched at the September 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show and was on sale from October, had deep body colour side skirts with ‘green cloverleaf’ badges and five-hole alloy wheels.

The only extra is a Philips CD changer, but no other known upgrades.

5 Lot 5 1990 Ferrari 348 Transversale Berlinetta, Registration Number: 965 TTT, Date of first registration: 21-05-90, Chassis Number: ZFFKA35B000085019, Engine no: 22070, Recorded Mileage: 13,100 £25,000 - 30,000 This European car was imported and registered in UK: 10-05-1999.

A handwritten note records 17,624 KPH in the back of the service book when the odometer was changed to MPH. Under 50 miles since recent cambelt, oil service and MOT Original leather cased owner’s manual and service book, together with MOT and UK service invoices.

Often called the ‘Baby Testarossa’, the 348 was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1989 and ran for five years, spawning various versions including the race-orientated Challenge and Competizione models, and acted as the springboard for the launch of one of Ferrari’s most prized products, the beautiful and highly capable F355, which took the brand into the new millennium. The new 348 was criticised for wayward handling and suspect build quality. However, during the life of the 348, the model underwent many modifications and alterations, and gradually became a much improved car towards the end of its production run.

This lovely left-hand drive Ferrari 348 TB was first registered on 21 May 1990, finished in Rosso Corsa with a Black leather interior, and more recently on 18in AZEV magnesium after-market wheels.

Having been stored since 2014, the car has been given an oil service, cambelt and MOT by Autostore, near Cambridge, with an invoice of £2,870.15 to support this work.

The 348 is complete with some service invoices, original purchase receipt from A K Cars, Kings Langley, Herts and older MOT certificates and one key.

The car is believed to have had two previous owners from new; one overseas and one in the UK. Having lost the original KPH odometer, we note that a handwritten note of 17,624km was recorded, and together with 13,100miles recorded on a genuine MPH speedo supplied by Maranello since 5 May 1999, the 348 has only covered a low mileage.

Now offering excellent value for money in the market, the 348 is a capable, fun and fast classic car, with a look and style which has very much found its feet in the classic car market. This example is a very accessible way to enjoy Ferrari ownership. The 348 will be supplied with a UK V5 document and valid MoT certificate to April 2023.

THE JACQUARD PUPPETS 212-239 THE JACQUARD PUPPET COMPANY (1933-1970) We’re delighted to offer this collection of marionettes, theatre props and staging made by John Carr (1884-1971).

Some of the puppets were used in the early days of British television, appearing in twenty-one live BBC broadcasts in the late 1930s.

John Carr and his cast of characters performed as The Jacquard Puppet Company between 1933 and 1970.

The company was one of a few to use small marionettes (each measuring between 12 and 14 inches tall) something that was very much in its favour in the early days of television.

Carr was given the chance to perform in front of the camera in 1937 – less than a decade after the first-ever experimental BBC television broadcast (30 September 1929) and just months after the BBC Television Service officially launched from a converted wing of Alexandra Palace in London (2 November 1936).

Meeting an enthusiastic reception, he gained the support of the influential BBC TV pioneer Cecil Madden and was encouraged to develop new and more complex acts. A talented woodcarver and lifelong member of the British Puppet and Model Theatre Guild, Carr made his own puppets with the costumes provided by his wife, Eva. In its pomp, the company (aided by the couple’s four children) used around 100 different marionettes – characters with titles such as Barnacle Bill the Sailor, The Walrus and The Carpenter, Barney the Bashful Bullfrog and William the Yokel. Many referenced characters that were popular on stage and screen.

The Cello Trio (lot 212) first appeared in 1936 and became one of the most popular acts. John Carr made great efforts to make the actions as realistic as possible and the only surviving moving image of the puppets shows how well this worked. In March 1936, a reviewer wrote: ‘…the wizardry with which Mr Carr and his family manipulate the violinist, cellist and pianist in synchrony with the recording of a complicated trio was as amazing as ever…’.

Sir Adrian Boult is quoted as saying that the lady cellist had the typical ‘cellist’s expression’.

212

213

Lot 212 The Jacquard Puppets ‘The Cello Trio’, comprising: a pianist with piano, a violinist and a lady cellist, standing figures 27cm high approximately, together with eight 78 records as played during performances (11) £200 - 300 Lot 213 The Jacquard Puppets, ‘Alpine man’, ‘Man of the mountains’, ‘Sailor’, ‘Ginger’, Farmer’s wife’, sitting on benches and a chair, largest 38cm high (5 figures, 3 seats) £200 - 300

Lot 214 The Jacquard Puppets, ‘Crooner’, ‘Prima Donna’ and a man in evening dress, Crooner 38cm high Prima Donna 37cm high (3) £150 - 200 The Crooner came into being in 1937 as a request from Cecil Madden at the BBC, and was based on Rudy Vallee…a striking likeness!

The Prima Donna, also known as Madam Sally Gerta, was a caricature of Dame Nellie Melba and unusually had an articulated jaw.

The man in evening dress was originally a pianist in a jazz band act and was probably based on a real individual, currently unidentified.

214

These are from various acts, but are now ‘orphaned’!

Lot 215 The Jacquard Puppets, six various books including a pamphlet on puppets, comprising: ‘The History of the English Puppet Theatre’, ‘A Book of Marionette Plays’, ‘Dolls and Puppets’, ‘Puppets and the Puppet Stage’, ‘Juvenile Drama’, and ‘The Pleasure of the Garden’ (6) £50 - 80

Lot 216 The Jacquard Puppets ‘The Circus’, comprising: Ringmaster, Alphonse the acrobat, Joey the clown, another clown, Blo-ard, No-guts, and a poodle, a cowboy and horse, donkey, two seals and an elephant, Ringmaster 39cm high Acrobat 36cm high (13 plus accessories) £400 - 600 John presented this act in his show on the BBC in 1937 and 1938. A quote of the time stated: ‘very good show, no hitch, movement sustained throughout…’.

The poodle apparently jumped through a hoop. The seals, appearing to balance balls on their noses, were hugely popular with child audiences. Blo-ard, the whistling clown, and the yodelling cowboy on his horse, were firm favourites, the latter being renamed ‘Texas Tim and Hengist the Horse’. Alphonse the acrobat, with his slicked-back hair and upturned moustache managed to swing on the trapeze bar despite his strings!

216

60

John based ‘No-guts’ on the traditional commedia dell’arte harlequin, his slapstick scenes included tripping over his feet and knocking down scenery.

As described by a critic: ‘it seemed the funniest thing that television has yet given us…’.

Pierette, his female equivalent, is cast as a youthful naive downtrodden romantic. Using expressive body movements rather than speech, they were ideal subjects for the skilful manipulators of Jacquard.

Lot 223 The Jacquard Puppets, eight miscellaneous string puppets, including a violinist, a jack-in-a-box, a peg puppet, two smaller ceramic figures, and a wooden profile horse, largest 32cm high (12) £100 - 150

224

62

Betty Boop was a popular cartoon character in the 1930s and starred in ‘No, a thousand times no!’, an old-fashioned melodrama, complete with moustachioed villain. He ties up the hero (the village blacksmith) and kidnaps the maiden, only for the hero to eventually turn the tables. Cecil Madden, the early pioneer of television production, wrote in 1936: ‘Mr Carr’s family perform, to tears of laughter, their ‘No, no, a thousand times no..’.

The Little White Duck, one of the most popular post-war acts, was first shown in 1951. The lyrics and music were written in 1950 and subsequently recorded by Danny Kaye and Burl Ives. ‘There’s a little white duck sitting in the water…there’s a little green frog swimming in the water…there’s a little black bug floating on the water…there’s a little red snake playing in the water…’. The duck was regarded as extraordinarily lifelike, bending and pecking in a most realistic way.

John created a dapper, but rather mournful, Barney, and a truly irresistible female frog, with tantalising net skirt and leather eyelashes.

The sixpence has facial features that move up and down.

The pie could be opened so the blackbirds ‘flew out’!

The two Dutch dolls, sometimes known as Deoch and Doris, were popular in the 1930s. They were bought by children who often made their clothing out of scraps. Their ‘wooden’ performance was greatly improved by John giving them sophisticated articulation and personality. A reviewer from the BPT Guild wrote of a show in April 1939, ‘Next were the Dutch dolls, BW nudged me and whispered ‘one of the most delightful things in puppetry’ and I agree with him…’.

The toys featured in one of Jan Bussell’s Christmas productions for the BBC in 1947, although it is not known which one.

Developed late in 1939, the lightly-clad heavyweights had convincingly well-developed muscles and one even a broken nose! An American journalist at the time wrote: ‘I don’t think any of the audience considered the possibility of a ‘near one’ (bomb), they were far too interested in the punching of the miniature pugilists!’. The act was probably inspired by the broadcast of the European Heavyweight Boxing Championship in 1939.

A ballet featuring the moth who flew too close to the candle, singed her wings and died.

It was performed for the BBC on 12 March 1939. An American journalist who described a show during the blitz wrote: ‘the very artistic item of the match, the candle flame, and the moth was very well received, and the dying spasmodic movement of the moth’s wings called forth memories of the inimitable Pavlova’s dying swan’.

Robert Johnson Washington (1913-1997)

Nestled in a rural idyll of rolling woodland, there is a studio that belonged to Robert Johnson Washington (1913-1997), where the artist and potter lived and worked.

Walking into the studio today, it’s almost as if he had just walked out the door, and pots, tools and the detritus of activity is everywhere.

Sworders were approached this summer, under the instruction of the Washington Foundation, to sell works from Robert (and also his father, William). Our first visit was like walking into a labyrinth of his life’s work - unfinished pots, test glaze pieces stuck to the walls, brushes and paint loosely tossed into jars, found objects and cut-out pictures pinned to the walls - it was daunting and awe-inspiring at the same time.

Robert (Bob) was born in South-East London and, proving to be a promising artist, like his father, he joined Goldsmiths’ College in 1930 to study painting before moving on to the Royal College of Art. After three years in the painting school, he moved to the pottery department which was headed by William Staite Murray (1881-1962), one of the leading studio potters in Britain, who influenced Robert in his belief in pottery as fine art. Bob continued to promote this all his working life. He was also taught the practical aspects of pottery and glazing by Dora Billington (1890-1968), at the Central School of Art and Crafts, who had come from a family of potters and had worked within the pottery industry.

In 1939, Robert married Marjorie Terry, then a highly successful textile designer, and it was also that year that he went to teach at Derby School of Art. This, however, was interrupted by his war service when he became an instructor to the builders of aircraft, a task which called on his understanding of modern engineering, as well as his ability to pass on information with clarity and imagination.

After the war, he resumed teaching ceramics at Derby, then Margate Schools of Art. He also maintained his own studio, producing pots under the clear influence of Murray, but with his own idiosyncratic interpretation of the figure.

In 1949, he was appointed Her Majesty’s Art Inspector for Essex and supporting teachers, building up art and pottery departments, and developing education schemes, took much of his creative drive and few pots were made.

It was Robert’s retirement in 1979 that brought fresh opportunities and a renaissance in his work with clay. He was ever alert to new developments within ceramics. At this time, he was best known for his impressive tall, thrown bottle forms with a strong anthropomorphic element, an impression heightened by his use of spiky painted decoration depicting religious or mythical figures which seemed to be engaging with the pot, giving the work the added edge of surrealism. Despite his continuing doubts about his skills as a draughtsman, these pieces - monumental and commanding - remain some of his most effective forms.

Contact was re-established with galleries and, in a solo exhibition at Anatol Orient Gallery in London in 1988, he made a comeback with a series of new work consisting of large platters, which were inventive in both their imagery and surface treatment.

Work was also shown at Paul Rice, London.

A new relationship with a young ceramic student, Su Lupasco, stimulated his experimental approach to clay, leading him to investigate cratered and textured glazes and to integrate such effects into his ceramics.

One of Washington’s major contributions to ceramics was to continue the fight for its recognition as fine art and it would have been interesting to see how he would have developed his talents had he devoted his life to ceramics. With a great deal of enthusiasm, creativity, and imagination side-tracked into education, much of his work has often been seen as over-influenced by Murray.

This similarity is superficial, for Washington’s forms are imbued with their own powerful personality, which is both sculpturally aware and assertive of the character of their maker.

241

Influenced by William Staite Murray (1881-1962) while at the Royal College of Art, Robert began to see himself as an artist first and foremost.

The ceramic works were thrown beautifully, with a vertical appearance and with the painting on them as important as the pot - a truly three-dimensional work of art.

His work changed little over the course of the next fifty years, as his life as an educationalist took his time and energy.

‘In the middle of the 80s I think I began to get where I wanted to be, where the shapes began to move in and out, into and out, rather than sitting on the surface.’

All the early pots are stoneware and decorated in underglaze red iron oxide and fired at 1280°C in a reduced or oxidised electric or gas kiln.

Day Two Wednesday 18 May 2022, 10am

MODERN DESIGN, FURNITURE AND LIGHTING 292-606 Michael O’Connell (1898-1976) Michael O’Connell, textile artist, was the eldest of two sons, raised in the north of England by his mother, after the death of his father, in 1900, from typhoid fever. He was educated as a lay boy at Ushaw College, a Roman Catholic seminary in County Durham, but following the outbreak of World War I, he was sent to the front, in 1917, as a junior officer in an Irish regiment and was later taken prisoner of war.

After the war, Michael emigrated to Australia, originally intending to take up training in agriculture, but very soon choosing to scratch a living from art, painting watercolours and selling them in Melbourne.

By 1923, he was living in a tent on a block of land he had bought in Beaumaris on Port Philip Bay near Melbourne, where a number of painters lived, but a health inspector turned up one day and condemned the tent as a health risk, forcing him to pull it down. In response, he built a house, ‘Barbizon’, an example of early modernism in Melbourne. He built it himself, without an architect or builder, using the cheapest material he could find - concrete blocks made with sand from the site - in an open-plan cruciform design, which gave the minimum chance of the walls falling down. A local commentator observed that he ‘made it for himself, out of bricks he made himself, and fitted it with furniture he made himself, and hangings he made himself! The result is perfect’.

(Unfortunately, the house was lost in a bushfire in 1944).

Barbizon became Michael’s personal studio and a gathering place for fellow artists. His paintings were exhibited in Melbourne and were well-received - some of his works were selected for an exhibition of Victorian artists at the Empire Exhibition in Wembley in 1924-25. He also started to produce concrete garden furniture and pots - ‘sculpture for the garden’ - often painted and dyed, and became a member and councillor of the Arts and Crafts Society in Melbourne, where he met his wife, Ella Moody, née Evans-Vaughan (1900-1981).

In 1930, he started experimenting with linocuts, and then resolved to create a long linen frieze, ‘Pandemonium’. It is not known what led to his decision to print linocuts on linen, and as a frieze rather than individually, but many of the members of the Arts and Crafts Society were interested in and working with textiles. In any case, ‘Pandemonium’ is one of his most significant works; it is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia. He used synthetic rather than the locally popular vegetable dyes, carrying out extensive research into them and becoming very knowledgeable.

In 1937, Michael and Ella moved to England, building a new home, ‘The Chase’, at Perry Green, near Much Hadham, Hertfordshire. It was important to Michael that from his mid-twenties onwards he never lived anywhere but in a house that he had built for himself in idyllic green surroundings.

In World War II, he served with the artillery, manning the guns at Dover, and then was moved to the Royal Ordnance as an Inspector of Dangerous Buildings at a munitions factory in Chorley, Lancashire, while Ella turned ‘The Chase’ into a smallholding with goats, chickens, vegetables, and an orchard, assisted by Tom Perry of Perry Green. In 1943, she joined Michael in Chorley for the birth of their son, Terence (now known as Seamus).

After the war, fabric was in short supply, but Christopher Heal (of Heal’s store in London) made sure Michael was supplied with heavy rayon fabric for his wall hangings, in which he used a mixture of lino blocks and freehand painting in a resist dying technique, sometimes signing his works ‘Mael’. In this he was assisted by the Sheridan sisters from Much Hadham, Betty and Iris (now Betty Clarke and Iris Dedman). There are recordings of interviews with Betty and Iris on the Michael O’Connell website and on the Museum of English Rural Life (‘MERL’) website.

For the 1951 Festival of Britain, he was commissioned to produce a very large wall hanging, 4 metres high by 56 metres long, in seven sections, depicting ‘The Variety of British Farming’.

In the 1940s and 50s, Michael was caught up in post-war progressive initiatives to place works of art in public places, such as schools and industrial canteens - see the Leg of Ham in this sale [Lot 367] - and through to the 1970s he continued to produce hangings for sale through exhibitions and commissions, both public and private.

As more kinds of fabric became available, he moved on from the heavy rayon to linen, cotton, and silk, and experimented with more complex techniques, multiple dyeings and wax resist (batik), as well as paste resist. His designs evolved through a variety of styles - reflecting the times, his travels, his interests, and the commissions he received - ranging through, among many others, the steel works in Corby, electrical circuits, heraldic motifs, history and mythology, Mexican figures, African motifs, ancient megaliths, pop art, and Saul Steinberg, whose drawings he greatly admired. He produced designs for Heal’s printed fabrics, and continued to make large concrete garden pots as a sideline. In the 1970s, he experimented with macramé, batik lampshades, and smocks and skirts. He also regularly taught his techniques privately and in art schools, from Ware College, where his friend, John Tobin, ran the art department, to Taos, New Mexico. A video of him at The Chase, made by one of his students, is on the Michael O’Connell website. The works in this sale are all from the post-war period.

In 1970, a devastating fire destroyed Michael’s workshop, including most of his notebooks and records. The house was rebuilt with the help of students and friends, but it was also in this period that his eyesight began to fail. In December 1976, he was driving towards Bishop’s Stortford in the morning and, with the sun in his eyes, he had a motor accident in which he cracked a rib, but he thought the pain was a heart attack and later that day he shot himself at ‘The Chase’.

Michael’s work is held in the collections of several museums, including the V&A, National Museums Scotland, the National Gallery of Australia, and the National Gallery of Victoria; the Festival of Britain hanging is on permanent display in the Museum of English Rural Life in Reading.

592 § FURNITURE MADE OF BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD (DALBERGIA NEGRA) To comply with CITES Regulations on post-1947 furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood, all post-war rosewood furniture items have Article 10 certificates.

If you are purchasing rosewood furniture for commercial purposes and not solely for your own use, CITES regulations require you to obtain your own certificate. You would need to contact the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (‘AHVLA’) and, as part of the process of obtaining your document, it is a requirement that you have seen sight of the Sworders’ certificate or are aware of its reference number.

It is therefore the responsibility of commercial buyers to ensure that they obtain a copy of the appropriate certificate, or the certificate reference number, after purchase from Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers.

For confirmation of the certificate number, please refer to our website (www.sworder.co.uk).

GLOSSARY OF PICTURE CATALOGUING TERMS A work catalogued with the forename(s) and surname of a recognised destination of an artist is or is probably a work by the artist, eg. David Cox. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that while a full designation is our highest category or authenticity, no unqualified statement as to the authorship is made or intended. A full cataloguing does not necessarily imply a full warranty.

Attributed to David Cox in our opinion a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist.

Bears/with signature, inscription, date in our opinion the signature/inscription/date are not by the hand of the named artist.

Circle of David Cox in our opinion a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.

The addition of a question mark (?) after any of the above cataloguing terms indicates an element of doubt.

Follower of David Cox in our opinion a work executed in the style of David Cox After David Cox in our opinion a copy of any date after a work by the artist Signed/inscribed/dated in our opinion the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist

A work catalogued as ‘School’ accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date means that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in the location, eg. South Netherlands School, circa 1750.

All references to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of the work, ie. as at the time of inspection for the purpose of cataloguing.

Condition reports are not included in the descriptions.

ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT (ARR) What is Artist’s Resale Right?

Following a European Directive in 2006, the Artist’s Resale Right entitles creators of original works of art to a royalty each time their work is resold, with the involvement of an auction house, for 1,000 Euros or more.

This right covers sales of work by living artists and also the beneficiaries and heirs of artists deceased within the last 70 years of the sale.

How are resale royalties calculated?

The artist’s royalty depends on the hammer price (sale price without any VAT or Buyer’s Premium). The higher the sale price of the artwork, the lower the overall royalty rate.

The royalty is worked out according to a sliding scale from 4% to 0.25%.

Hammer Price

Royalty

From 0 to €50,000

4%

From €50,000.01 to €200,000

3%

From €200,000.01 to €350,000

1%

From €350,000.01 to €500,000 Exceeding €500,000

0.5% 0.25%

What is the qualifying threshold?

An artwork must sell for more than €1,000 to qualify for a royalty. The law defines the price threshold in Euros and, because the exchange rate between the two currencies changes daily, the equivalent in Pounds Sterling must be worked out according to the exchange rate on the date the artwork was sold.

170

What nationality must an artist be to qualify?

The Artist’s Resale Right applies to the sale of artworks in the European Economic Area (EEA). The following countries are in the EEA: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom.

Artists who are nationals of these countries are therefore generally eligible to receive resale royalties. The nationality criteria only applies to the artist and not to the beneficiaries or heirs.

Are all sales of artwork covered?

The Artist’s Resale Right does not apply to all sales of artworks.

A royalty is only due if the following conditions are met: • • • •

the artwork is a copyright protected work of graphic or plastic art; it is sold for more than €1000; it is sold in the secondary market with the involvement of an art market professional (e.g. auction house); and it is sold in the UK or another country in the European Economic Area (EEA).

This royalty, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser. It is exempt of VAT.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Estimates of Shipping Costs on our website are based on the low estimate, whilst the actual cost is based on Hammer Price.

These conditions of business consist of:

Electrical goods These are sold as ‘antiques’ only. If you buy electrical Goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them.

1.

Information for Buyers;

2.

Terms of Consignment (for Sellers);

3.

Terms of Sale (for Bidders and Buyers).

1. INFORMATION FOR BUYERS Introduction The following notes are intended to assist Bidders and Buyers, particularly those that are inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All of our auctions are governed by our Terms and Conditions and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction. Our Terms and Conditions are available for inspection at our salerooms and the Terms of Sale are printed in the back of our auction catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Terms and Conditions that you do not fully understand.

Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale carefully before bidding in the auction. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale.

Methods of payment Lots must be paid for before they are collected or shipped. For those attending the auction we ask that Lots are paid for on the day of the sale. Methods by which we accept payment are detailed on our Website, including online payment upon receipt of your invoice, and these should be paid by 5pm on the Friday following the sale. We accept cash to an upper limit of 10,000 euros equivalent. We accept credit card payments to an upper limit of £5,000.

Usually any cheques will need to be cleared before you can take the Goods away.

Collection and storage All Lots should be paid for and collected by 5pm on the Friday following the sale.

Commission Bidders should check the success of their bids and arrange payment, and collection or shipping within this time. For our specialist auctions please refer to the collection and storage requirements detailed in the catalogue and on our Website, which specifies the applicable fees. For our Homes and Interiors auctions, items not removed by 5pm on Friday may be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 (plus VAT) for administration and £2 (plus VAT) per lot per day.

Agency As Auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the Seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your contract for the Goods is with the Seller, not with us as Auctioneer.

Estimates Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale Price. The lower estimate may represent the Reserve Price (the minimum Price for which a Lot may be sold) and will not be below the Reserve Price. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the Auctioneer before the auction of the Lot. They are not definitive.

Buyer’s Premium The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay a Buyer’s Premium at 25% on the Hammer Price of each Lot purchased, except for our Fine Wine and Spirits auctions when it is 15%. In addition, VAT is charged on these Premiums (see below).

VAT Items in our catalogue may be marked with a dagger † or double dagger ‡, which indicates that VAT is payable by the Buyer on the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium at either the standard rate (currently 20%) or a reduced rate (currently 5%), depending upon the legal requirements relating to that Lot. Lots which do not have either of the above symbols have no VAT payable on the Hammer Price. This is because such Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme.

The VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax.

Shipping Costs are liable for VAT and are payable by the Buyer.

Inspection of Goods by the Buyer As we act on behalf of the Seller, we are dependent on information provided by the Seller about their Goods. We may inspect Lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of Lots to check their condition in the way a Buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the Goods. You must inspect and investigate Lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the description and condition of Lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clauses 12.2 and 12.4.

Condition reports We may be able to assist Buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending Buyers are strongly encouraged to view.

Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale.

Shipping of Goods We offer a delivery service for Lots purchased. Estimates for Shipping Costs for smaller items can be calculated pre-sale on our website under each Lot and are based on value, size and your chosen UK destination. For items purchased the actual cost can be added to your account and paid online after the sale. If you purchase multiple Lots from the same auction, we will combine packaging/deliveries to reduce the Shipping Costs. For lots for which Shipping Costs cannot be automatically calculated, such as furniture, you can obtain a bespoke Shipping Cost from our website to any destination in the world either in advance of the sale or after you have purchased.

Export of Goods If you intend to export Goods you must find out: a. whether an export licence is needed; and b. if there is a prohibition on importing Goods of that character e.g. because the Goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory.

Bidding Bidders will be required to register with us before the auction starts. We Reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a Commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value Lots this deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You will need to provide us with proof of your identity in a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding. Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion.

Commission bidding You may leave Commission bids with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a Lot (excluding the Buyers’ Premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute Commission bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the Reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two Buyers submit identical Commission bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained). We recommend leaving Commission bids online via our Website, though please contact us about leaving bids by telephone or fax/email. All absentee bids should be received at least 30 minutes before the auction commences; we cannot guarantee to execute Commission bids received after this time.

Telephone bidding If you are unable to come to the auction it may be possible to bid on the telephone for higher value Lots. Please note that this service is for Lots with an estimate of £500 or more. The number of lines is limited so we would urge serious telephone bidding only and ask that you be prepared to bid over the top estimate. It is advisable to leave a maximum covering bid in case we are not able to contact you by telephone. All lines must be booked and confirmed in writing before the day of the auction and preferably some time in advance. Telephone bidding involves many variables and whilst we take every care to ensure the smooth operation of this service, we cannot be held liable if your bids are missed for any reason.

Online bidding Any Lots purchased via a live online bidding service will be subject to an additional Commission charge on the Hammer Price payable by the Bidder, in accordance with rates specified by the online service. From 1 January 2020, these charges will be charged at 0% while bidding via Sworders Website. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 4.95% plus VAT. These charges will be payable to us on top of the Hammer Price and our Buyer’s Commission.

IMPORTANT NOTICES Removal of Lots All Lots are to be removed from the premises by 5.00pm at the latest on the Friday following each sale. Sworders retain the right to remove Lots remaining after this time into safe storage, for which a charge will be made.

Electrical Goods All electrical Goods offered in this sale have either been tested and certified safe or unsafe by an appropriately qualified electrician. All electrical Goods certified safe must be re-Commissioned by an appropriately qualified electrician and we recommend those certified safe are similarly re-Commissioned.

Post 1950 Upholstered Furniture All items of furniture included in this sale are offered for sale as works of art. The items may not comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) Safety Regulations 1988 and for this reason, they should not be used in a private dwelling.

Furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia Negra) To comply with CITES Regulations on Post-1947 furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood, all post-war rosewood furniture items have Article 10 certificates.

If you are purchasing rosewood furniture for commercial purposes and not solely for your own use, CITES regulations require you to obtain your own certificate. You would need to contact the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (‘AHVLA’) and, as part of the process of obtaining your document, it is a requirement that you have seen sight of the Sworders’ certificate or are aware of its reference number.

It is therefore the responsibility of commercial Buyers to ensure that they obtain a copy of the appropriate certificate, or the certificate reference number, after purchase from Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers. Items are marked with this sign §.

11.4 If a Lot is not second-hand and you purchase the Lot as a Consumer from a Seller that is a Trader, a number of additional terms may be implied by law in addition to the Seller’s warranties set out at Clause 11.1 (in particular under the Consumer Rights Act 2015). These Terms of Sale do not seek to exclude your rights under law as they relate to the sale of these Lots.

12.2 We will give you a number of opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot in advance of the auction.

12.3 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 will be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.

12.4 Please note that Lots (in particular second-hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition. Lots are sold ‘as is’ (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of second-hand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/ or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed.

13. Deliberate Forgeries 13.1 You may return any Lot which is found to be a Deliberate Forgery to us within thirty days of the auction provided that you return the Lot to us in the same condition as when it was released to you, accompanied by a written statement identifying the Lot from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects.

13.2 If we are reasonably satisfied that the Lot is a Deliberate Forgery we will refund the money paid by you for the Lot (including any Premium and applicable VAT) provided that if: 13.2.1 the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of experts as at the date of the auction; or 13.2.2 you personally are not able to transfer good and marketable title in the Lot to us, you will have no right to a refund under this Clause 13.2.

13.3 If you have sold the Lot to another person, we will only be liable to refund the Price that you paid for the Lot. We will not be responsible for repaying any additional money you may have made from selling the Lot. 13.4 Your right to return a Lot that is a Deliberate Forgery does not affect your legal rights and is in addition to any other right or remedy provided by law or by these Terms of Sale.

14. Our liability to you 14.1 We will not be liable for any loss of opportunity or disappointment suffered as a result of participating in our auction.

14.2 In addition to the above, neither we nor the Seller shall be responsible to you and you shall not be responsible to the Seller or us for any other loss or damage that any of us suffer that is not a foreseeable result of any of us not complying with the Terms and Conditions. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen or if at the time of the sale of the Lot, we, you and the Seller knew it might happen.

14.3 Subject to Clause 14.4, if we are found to be liable to you for any reason (including, amongst others, if we are found to be negligent, in breach of contract or to have made a misrepresentation), our liability will be limited to the total purchase price paid by you to us for any Lot. 14.4 Notwithstanding the above, nothing in these Terms of Sale shall limit our liability (or that of our employees or agents) for: 14.4.1 death or personal injury resulting from negligence (as defined in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977); 14.4.2 fraudulent misrepresentation; or 14.4.3 any liability which cannot be excluded by law.

11.5 Save as expressly set out above, all other warranties, conditions or other terms which might have effect between the Seller and you, or us and you, or be implied or incorporated by statue, common law or otherwise are excluded.

15. Notices 15.1 All notices between you and us regarding these Terms of Sale must be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the party giving it.

17.3 We may use special terms in the catalogue descriptions of particular Lots. You must read these terms carefully along with any glossary provided in our auction catalogues.

17.4 Each of the clauses of these Terms of Sale operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect.

17.5 We may change these Terms of Sale from time to time, without notice to you. Please read these Terms of Sale carefully, as they may be different from the last time you read them.

Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale is not a waiver of that or any other right. Partial exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale will not preclude any further or other exercise of that right or any other right under these Terms of Sale. Waiver of a breach of any term of these Terms of Sale will not operate as a waiver of breach of any other term or any subsequent breach of that term.
