Day One Tuesday 8 December at 10am

A Private Collection of Russian Icons 1-10 The ten icons included in this sale were executed by artisans in Moscow and St Petersburg in the second half of the 19th and first few years of the 20th centuries. The holy figures on these icons were beautifully executed, and the silversmiths and enamellers enhanced these images with their skilful embossing, chasing and repoussé work. The coloured enamels were applied carefully in order to provide a respectful, visual effect.

The decoration of the silver facade or oklad took pride of place for the craftsmen and women, and a dedication to producing a venerable religious symbol was uppermost in their minds.

Original painted icons of this period are all the more sought after as the craft went into a great decline with the arrival of the printed image, which made icons much cheaper and easier to produce. Most were not signed and the only clues we have to their origins, other than stylistic clues, are the silver maker’s initials and the date marks. They are all stamped '84', the Russian Imperial standard.

The holy visages used were usually based on much earlier traditional images. In the period that these were created, the market expanded to include those collecting them as examples of Russian traditional art and culture. Interest waned in the Soviet period and many were lost or destroyed, but there has been a resurgence of interest, fuelled by the renewed fascination in the pre-Revolution era.

Collections of these icons can been seen forming icon screens or iconostases, which separate the nave from the sanctuary, in many Russian churches, and also on show in museums such as the Kremlin, where there are over 3000.

SILVER AND OBJETS DE VERTU 11-59

THE PROPERTY OF THE LATE JILLIAN SINCLAIR-HILL, LATE OF HORTON LODGE, HORTON, NEAR OLD WINDSOR, BERKSHIRE Mrs Sinclair-Hill was a renowned antique dealer with shops in Eton high street, trading under the name of ‘John A Pearson Antiques’, a family business originally run in the 1950s by Mrs Sinclair-Hill’s great aunt, a redoubtable character called Mrs Cox. Mrs Cox was an American lady and enjoyed visits from browsing Eton College schoolboys; one boy inspired by her was the antiques dealer Christopher Gibbs, who wrote in Vogue magazine about his visits to Mrs Cox. Mrs Cox would go on weekly buying trips in a van with a driver, enthroned beneath a plaid blanket in a generous gilded fauteuil anchored to the floor, and would return at the end of the day with a host of mouth-watering booty to enthral her Eton boy visitors. According to Christopher Gibbs’ article, her great love was for the 18th century and Regency, but also for the coloured lacquers of the Orient and paintings of people, places and animals.

The collection of furniture, paintings and statuary in this sale includes items from the old stock and furnishings of her successor, Jillian Sinclair-Hill, which echoes many of the influences of her great aunt Mrs Cox. Apart from this being an end of a family era, it could be argued that this decorative style has current decorative values popular again today.

His sharp and often unscrupulous business practices made him one of the wealthiest men of the late 19th century. His son George (1864-1923), our vendor’s grandfather, was himself a financier and railroad executive. He married a former Gaiety girl, Guinevere Sinclair, our vendor’s grandmother, and became one of the foremost clients of legendary picture dealer, Joseph Duveen. Sadly he died prematurely, shortly after viewing the tomb of King Tutankhamun - perhaps another victim of the famous curse.

Lot 380 A rare, large and documented, oak and mahogany gateleg dining table, c.1675-1700, the oval drop-leaf top of exceptionally thick mahogany boards, the oak base with a single end-frieze drawer and spiral-turned legs joined by similar peripheral and central cross-bracing stretchers, the gates also formed from spiral-turnings, but of smaller section, 171.8cm wide 133.2cm deep 77.5cm high £1,500 - 2,500 Illustrated: A lan Bowett, ‘Woods in British Furniture-Making 1400-1900’, 2012 p.120, pl.M4.

This table is believed to represent a very early use of mahogany in English furniture-making.

It is noted ibid. p.121, that ‘on stylistic grounds, (it) should predate 1700, but such examples are rare’. The first specific mention of mahogany in the English Customs returns occurs in 1700, when mahogany valued at £5 was imported.

Other instances of it being recorded in shipments occur in the 1710s. Mahogany was sold as a prize after two captured Spanish vessels were sold in London in 1702/3. It is therefore possible that mahogany furniture began to be made in limited quantities from 1700 onwards.

The Catholic family of Canning owned Foxcote in Warwickshire from the 15th century and the house was rebuilt in the early 18th century, probably to the designs of Edward Woodward. William Hoare executed this pair of portraits in the mid-1740s when the sitters were staying in Bath. They share a close similarity with the pair of portraits tentatively identified as William Ffolkes and his wife that now belong to the Bath Preservation Trust at No.1 the Crescent, Bath.

Foxcote House www.sworder.co.uk

Foxcote is at the centre of one of the most impressive and elegant of Cotswold estates, the home to ten generations of the Canning family until the death of Robert Canning in 1848. In the 1960s the estate was purchased by Christopher Boot Holman, heir to Boots the Chemist.

The present watercolour is copied by Ferranti from an earlier portrait in oils, known from an engraving by Joseph Brown.

A volunteer unit, the Norfolk Yeomanry (originally titled the Norfolk Rangers), was raised in 1782, during the American Revolutionary War by the Hon George Townshend. From its formation, the Norfolk Yeomanry wore the Tarleton pattern helmet, red tunics with gold lace frogging and blue facings, all as illustrated in Ferranti’s watercolour. Along with many other Yeomanry regiments, the Norfolk Yeomanry, as formed in 1782, was disbanded in 1828 although it was twice later recreated.

He initially served in the Middlesex Regiment and was transferred to the Royal Flying Corps in 1917. Carline’s artistic flair was utilised when he was asked to develop camouflage designs for aeroplanes and to paint large surveys of the front lines in France on to canvas. He nominated his brother, Sydney, who also served in the RFC, to become an official war artist, and both brothers were together sent to paint in the Middle East by the Imperial War Museum in 1919. They were instructed to depict aerial scenes and combat, of which they brought home more than 300 sketches. These they developed into paintings for the Imperial War Museum, although they were allowed to keep the collection of original sketches.

After the war Carline joined the London Group and studied at the Slade. He also taught at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, and at Oxford University. During the Second World War he continued his work on aircraft camouflage when he worked for the Air Ministry.

By family tradition the sitter is believed to be Winston Churchill, younger brother of the first Duke of Marlborough, who died in battle aged 20. Winston Churchill died in 1672 at the age of 20 at the Battle of Sole Bay near Southwold, Suffolk. His brother, the future Duke, was also present at the Battle.

The symbols in the painting are connected to the sitter’s early death and are part of an apotheosis with the Harp of the Angels, the Lamb for the virtues of innocence, purity and humility and the Heavenly Crown. References to the sitter’s death in battle could be the heavenly crown with the crossed swords and his quasi Roman decorative armour which became so fashionable on church monuments of the period.

The sitter of this portrait, Peder Schumacher, was a royal favourite and had a meteoric but short-lived career in the 1670s.

He was ennobled in July 1670, and was made a count in 1673. He also received the Order of the Elephant and was appointed Imperial Chancellor soon afterwards. Falsely charged with treason, he was tried in 1676 and remained in prison until his death twenty-two years later. The design of this canvas is based on a portrait dated 1672 at Fredericksborg Castle in Copenhagen that was painted when the sitter was at the height of his powers. The present portrait shows an older man and it may have been painted during his imprisonment.

It was unknown to Professor Alastair Smart, but the soft handling and sensitivity of the portrait is comparable with the three-quarter length of Lord Sinclair, c.1765, and the head and shoulders of the Duke of Leinster dated 1762 (A Smart, ‘Allan Ramsay: A Complete Catalogue of his Paintings’, New Haven and London, 1999, pp.147-48, 181, cat. nos. 318, 476, psl. 550 and 579).

Mary Trelawney Wigan was the daughter of Dr John Wigan, physician, poet and author, and his wife Mary Wheeler, whom he married in 1738 in Spanish Town, Jamaica, having travelled there with his lifelong friend, Colonel Edward Trelawney, who became Governor of Jamaica. Sadly Dr Wigan died before his daughter’s birth in 1740.

Mary Wigan later married The Hon. Rose Herring May, of Mayfield, Kent, who was one of His Majesty’s Counsels in Jamaica.

Lot 572 Andrea Soldi (Italian, 1703-1771) Portrait of a lady of the Sherard family, c.1745, head and shoulders, in a blue dress with pale blue ribbons and a green cloak oil on canvas, in a painted feigned oval 76 x 63.5cm, unframed £1,000 - 1,500 Provenance: The Earls of Harborough, Stapleford, Leicestershire, and by descent.

John Ingamells attributed this portrait to Soldi during his Directorship of the Wallace Collection (1977-92).

Stylistically the portrait is very similar to a portrait of Lady Graham (d.1763) signed and dated 1743 (John Ingamells, ‘Andrea Soldi—a check-list of his work’, ‘Walpole Society’, XLVII, 1978-80, p. 10, cat. no. 33, pl. 2d). Philip Sherard, 2nd Earl of Harborough (d.1758) was painted at three-quarter length by Soldi at about the same time and this supports the suggestion that the sitter was perhaps his wife, Anne Pedley (Ingamells 1978-80, p. 11, cat. no. 35A, pl. 3b).

His likeness is shown in a sculpted feigned oval which was quite a common motif in the 1740s.

It has been suggested that there are similarities with Reynolds’ earliest work painted when he was still in his native Plymouth, such as the portrait of Walter Kendall in the Fraunces Tavern Museum in New York (D Mannings, ‘Sir Joshua Reynolds: A Complete Catalogue of his Works’, New Haven and London 2000, p. 286, cat no. 1032, pl. 10).

Lot 598 Edouard Moyse (French, 1827-1908) ‘La Bénédiction de L’aïeul’ (The Blessing of the Ancestor) signed ‘Moyse’ l.l., oil on canvas 77 x 118cm £20,000 - 30,000 Edouard Moyse was a Jewish painter from Nancy who specialised in painting scenes of Jewish life.

This painting is of the Kiddush, the sanctification/benediction. Although the Sabbath comes round every week, it is nevertheless holier than most of the great religious festivals that occur during the rest of the year; it marks the end of the sixth day of Creation, when God rested from all his labours, and is sanctified with the Shabbat meal usually after synagogue on Friday evening. Shabbat, like all other religiously observed dates, begins, not on Saturday morning, but at sunset on the Friday evening, and ends with the sighting of the first star on Saturday evening.

It marks the day when Jews should refrain from all forms of work, physical activity like carrying, playing a sport, entertainment and so on. The day should be spent in contemplation, enjoying family life, and religious study.

The pater familias is on the left, reciting or singing the Kiddush, and when he is finished, he sips from the goblet, then pours some into each of the other persons’ glasses - that would include family as well as guests, and indeed many families today, especially Levantine Jews, still set an extra place for an unknown guest. After the wine, the father and the males older than 13 wash their hands, and return to the table to say the benediction over the bread (…and God brought forth bread from the Earth), before breaking the bread - not cutting it, because that would be an act of labour - and giving each person a piece, having sprinkled it with salt, which is to remind us that, on being banished from the Garden of Eden, we had to thereafter labour by the sweat of our brow. In the present painting, the father, while saying the Kiddush, is resting his hand on the Challa, the bread, ready for the next blessing.

Lot 599 Richard Parkes Bonington (1802-1828) The Interior of Sant’Ambrogio, Milan bears a later signature l.l., oil on paper laid to panel 17 x 21cm £3,000 - 5,000 Provenance: The Bonington Studio Sale; Sotheby’s, 29 June 1829, lot 61, bt. Colnaghi (£300); Captain W Webb; anon. sale, Paris, 23 May 1837, lot 15; Arthur Tooth and Sons Ltd., Bruton Street, Mayfair, London, W1 where acquired by Major A W Allan; Major A W Allan; ‘Important English Pictures’, Christie’s London, 24 June 1977, lot 104 (sold for £1700).

Literature: A Dubuisson, ‘Richard Parkes Bonington’, 1924, p.168.

Bonington travelled to Italy for the first time in the Spring of 1826 and arrived in Milan with his companion Charles Rivet, who wrote ‘We are in Milan, where at last we have unpacked and put to use our colour boxes ... I think that if Bonington can produce the paintings he has sketched his reputation will be made’. His first sketch in oil of the interior of the medieval basilica of Sant’Ambrogio, now in the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, was done on site on or around 11th April that year and was to be the basis for a highly finished watercolour, dated 1827 (Wallace Collection, no.714), with differences in the positioning of the figures. While in Milan Bonington also painted an interior, now lost, of the cathedral, before he and Rivet continued on to Verona in April 1827.

The 1977 Christie’s catalogue description notes in its provenance: ‘Dr Marion Spencer has kindly identified this as the picture sold in the Bonington Studio sale’.

Lots 670-694 From the Estate of Surgeon Vice Admiral Sir Godfrey Milton-Thompson, KBE (1930-2012) Born in 1930 on the Wirral, Cheshire, Sir Godfrey James Milton-Thompson was the younger son of the Reverend James Milton Thompson. Educated at Eastbourne College, he went on to read medicine at Queens’ College, Cambridge.

The family moved to Tunstall in Suffolk in 1947 which coincided with his time at university and this instilled in him a life-long love of the East Anglian countryside. Further study at St Thomas’ Hospital, London followed. Coming from a naval family, in 1955 he applied for a commission and went on to see service in Malta and the Falklands.

Eminent in his field, he rose to the elevated position of Surgeon General, senior medical officer of the British armed forces. He and his wife Noreen (née Fitzmaurice) and their three daughters were based in the West Country from the 1960s. However, he never lost his love of the wide skies of Suffolk and Norfolk, and hence over the years amassed with Noreen an impressive collection of Norwich School paintings. We are delighted to offer a selection of these beautiful works for sale.

A previously unrecorded oil sketch

by John Constable

Lot 695 John Constable RA (1776-1837) Dedham Vale with Brantham mill and haystacks, c.1809-10

PAINTINGS, WATERCOLOURS AND PRINTS 500-759

Lot 695 John Constable RA (1776-1837) Dedham Vale with Brantham mill and haystacks, c.1809-10 oil on millboard 26.8 x 43.3cm, in a gilt carved wood frame £100,000 - 150,000 The present view is looking south over Dedham Vale with the Church and sprawling village, and the far snaking line of the Stour against the southern higher ground.

Verso: old label indistinctly inscribed ‘Landscape & ...’

Provenance: P robably a member of the Constable family; Leggatt Brothers, London; Agnews (11510), sold 1946 to Major A.W. Allen (stock number 9159); and by descent to the vendor.

This previously unrecorded early oil sketch by John Constable is an exciting new discovery, and forms a useful new addition to the Constable literature. The fact that the picture once passed through the hands of Leggatt Brothers points towards a likely provenance direct from a member of the Constable family.

During the first half of his career, when visiting the family home at East Bergholt during the summer and often sketching from nature there, Constable would tend to focus on two key landscape subjects: panoramic views overlooking the Stour valley, most especially vistas of Dedham Vale; or more enclosed views made in and around the mill at Flatford belonging to his father, Golding Constable.

Constable’s paintings of Dedham Vale are usually taken from two favourite viewpoints: either (as is the case with this sketch) from the Suffolk side of the valley looking westwards across the Vale; or, as painted by him from as early as 1802, from the Essex side of the valley, from higher ground on Gun Hill, looking eastwards.

The most famous representation by Constable of the former composition is the panorama of Dedham Vale, seen from the East Bergholt to Flatford Lane, which he sent to the Royal Academy in 1811 with the title ‘Dedham Vale, Morning’ (Proby Collection, Elton Hall; see Graham Reynolds, ‘The Early Paintings and Drawings of John Constable’, 1996, Yale University Press, no. 11.02). Constable made a number of preparatory oil sketches for this composition, which - like the final picture itself - show the towers of various Suffolk or Essex churches in the distance, of Stratford St Mary, Langham and Dedham (see Reynolds op.cit, R.11. 04-06). In these related sketches, Constable indicates the distant church towers with simple little white flecks of paint. This is his personal shorthand for showing their position in the landscape as well, no doubt, as to show the way they catch the light depending on the time of day and position of the sun.

This previously unrecorded oil sketch shows the unmistakable tall tower of Dedham Church (and its adjacent village) in the far right hand distance. As Constable’s viewpoint here is clearly further east than the one he adopted for ‘Dedham Vale: Morning’, 1811, the two church towers of Stratford St Mary and Langham are no longer visible in the distance (they are out of sight on the right). Instead a windmill - apparently a weatherboarded post mill - has now come into view in the left hand middle distance. Like the towers of the local churches, Constable has rendered this mill in prominent strokes of white paint.

By examining an ordnance survey map dating from the early nineteenth century, one can deduce that the windmill Constable shows here is likely to be identifiable as one situated at Brantham (see Ordnance Survey Map Sheet 64, Colchester; facsimile version of 1838 re-engraved map, on four quarter plates, based on 1805 single sheet impression of map). In fact Brantham boasted two mills in Constable’s day, both situated - a little to the south-west of Brantham village - on the river Stour where there was also a Lock indeed Brantham Lock was the last of the 15 locks which, since the time of their construction in the eighteenth century, had rendered the River Stour navigable from Sudbury to Manningtree.

Of the two windmills at Brantham, one was a wind driven postmill with sails - tentatively identified as the one Constable has painted here - and the other a tidal mill driven by water. As Ian Fleming-Williams pointed out, this was a convenient arrangement, as it meant that one could be used when the other was unable to work (‘Constable and his Drawings’, 1990, p.111). Both mills at Brantham are shown, sited very close to each other, in a tiny pencil sketch Constable made in 1814 (Reynolds, op.cit, 14.23, albeit only the roof of the tidal mill is visible in this sketch). The mill shown in Constable’s oil sketch meanwhile is, as indicated above, likely to be identifiable from its sails as the wind driven post mill at Brantham (the tidal mill presumably being out of sight). Constable had made a more detailed drawing of this mill, in pencil and stump, as early as 1802 in which he showed its exact position on the river, and where the structure of the mill building can be made out in more detail (‘The Windmill at Brantham’, Victoria & Albert Museum, see Reynolds, op. cit, 02.8). He made a further sketch of the windmill at Brantham in the intact 1814 sketchbook in the Victoria & Albert Museum (Reynolds, op.cit, 14.32, p.47).

Windmills frequently caught Constable’s attention as potential subject matter for his art given his father’s profession as a corn (and coal) merchant. Not only did Golding Constable own mills at Flatford and Dedham, but he seems also to have owned the windmill at Brantham, and certainly had a coal-yard at the latter location (Fleming-Williams, op.cit, p. 112). The area around Brantham, then, would have been familiar territory for Constable during the first half of his career, and perhaps especially in the period 1805-8 when the young artist was involved in painting an altarpiece for the church at Brantham (‘Christ Blessing the Children’, 1805-8, on loan to Emmanuel College, Cambridge, Reynolds 05.2).

Constable’s oil sketch of ‘Dedham Vale with Brantham Mill’ is painted on millboard, a support Constable is known to have taken up for oil sketching in the period around 1809, perhaps influenced by the adoption of the same support for sketching by his patron and mentor, Sir George Beaumont.

Constable’s use of millboard here, together with the stylistic handling – strong tonal contrasts and a fairly even application of paint - point towards a date of c.1809-10. A view of ‘Malvern Hall from the South-West’ of 1809 in the Bristol Museums and Art Gallery (see right), although executed on paper laid on canvas, is very similar in handling.

I am especially grateful to John Somerville who kindly pointed out to me that the viewpoint is probably the furthest East that Constable ever painted Dedham Vale, and therefore that the mill is most likely to be that at Brantham owned by his father, Golding Constable.

Yvonne Cormeau (1909-1997) was an agent and wireless operator for the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and a wireless operator for the ‘Wheelwright’ network led by George Starr in South-West France from August 1943 until the liberation of France in September 1944. She was acclaimed for the quality of her transmissions and cryptography. She survived an extraordinary length of time working behind enemy lines wireless operators were especially vulnerable to detection and capture. She was awarded an OBE from the UK and the Lêgion d’honneur and Croix de Guerre from France, as well as later being immortalised in print and film.

When similar pieces of this type began to be recorded in British collections in the 18th century, the prevailing thought was that they were surviving examples of early English furniture, owing to their dark colour, rigid square form, the use of twist-turning - which was believed to be common of Elizabethan furniture - and the often mythical decoration. Horace Walpole, who may have been responsible for this belief, asserted that this attribution, based on their physical attributes, was corroborated by the existence of such examples in houses with Tudor associations. For example, in 1748, he saw carved ebony chairs at Esher Place, Surrey, and posited that they must have belonged to Cardinal Wolsey, who had lived there after 1519.

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.

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.

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

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.

Signed/inscribed/dated in our opinion the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist

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

0.5%

Exceeding €500,000

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).

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.

304

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:

This royalty, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser.

It is exempt of VAT.

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 within this time. Please note what the Terms of Sale say about collection and storage. Items not removed by 5pm on Friday may be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 as an administration fee and £2 per lot per day may be charged (plus vat). Please note that we will apply these charges strictly to Furniture purchased in our Homes and Interiors Sales.

Dispatch We are rarely able to pack and dispatch purchases. A choice of shippers is detailed on our web site.

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 Port 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.

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 condition of lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clause 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.

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.

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% plus VAT while bidding via Sworders website. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 4.95% plus VAT. Both 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 §.

11.2 If, after you have placed a successful bid and paid for a Lot, any of the warranties above are found not to be true, please notify us in writing. Neither we nor the Seller will be liable to pay you any sums over and above the Total Amount Due and we will not be responsible for any inaccuracies in the information provided by the Seller except as set out below.

11.3 Please note that many of the Lots that you may bid on at our auction are second-hand.

12. Descriptions and condition 12.1 Our descriptions of the Lot will be based on: (a) information provided to us by the Seller of the Lot (for which we are not liable); and (b) our opinion (although it is likely that we will not be able to carry out a detailed inspection of each Lot).

15.2 Any notice referred in Clause 15.1 may be given:

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.

15.3 Notices must be sent:

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 secondhand 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 30 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 Conditions of Business. 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.

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.

14.4 Notwithstanding the above, nothing in these Terms of Sale shall limit our liability (or that of our employees or agents) for:

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.

14.4.3 any liability which cannot be excluded by law.

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.

17.7 These Terms of Sale and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including any noncontractual claims or disputes) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
