CONDITIONS of SALE

Please Note: Our Conditions of Sale have recently changed TERMS OF SALE: By registering to bid on any lot or any participation in an auction at Thomaston Place Auction Galleries (TPAG), you (the bidder or agent bidding on behalf of others, ref. par.13) agrees to be bound by these Conditions of Sale.

CONDITION OF ITEMS & WARRANTY INFORMATION: Thomaston Place Auction Galleries (TPAG) makes every attempt to uphold the highest standards in the auction industry. Our goal is to consistently deliver the highest level of products and services to our customers. Our catalog descriptions represent what we have deemed appropriate to identify each object and we stand behind our descriptions as they relate to authenticity, however all items for sale are offered “as is,” and it is the bidder’s responsibility (present, absentee, phone or online) to determine the exact condition of each item. Our warranty does come with parameters and it is the bidder’s responsibility to understand those parameters fully. Please take time to familiarize yourself with what is covered and make your bidding decisions accordingly.

1) All items are “as is,” and it is the bidder’s responsibility to inspect, research, and determine the authenticity of all items upon which bids are placed. Determination of age, materials, condition, quality, authenticity, classification, purported history and perceived value, regardless of what is written or said by TPAG, is the sole responsibility of the bidder/buyer.

2) TPAG nor it’s consignor(s) makes any expressed or implied guarantees, warranties or representations in regard to the property merchantability or the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, medium or material, period, culture, source, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, literature or historic relevance of the property or otherwise.

3) The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not in any way imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free of wear, imperfections or the effects of aging.

4) Condition Reports for items may be requested up to 48 hours prior to the date of the auction. We will make every effort to answer all submitted questions in a timely manner however, we cannot guarantee that a request submitted within 48 hours will be answered prior to the auction date. Neither TPAG nor it’s consignor makes any guarantee or warranty with regards to these reports. It is the buyer’s responsibility to examine each item and make their own assessment prior to the auction.

5) All items are sold for display purpose. If electrical, mechanical or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, TPAG is not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of antiques and items.

6) Goods made from or containing materials from protected species - TPAG does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omissions in marketing or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such materials include, but are not limited to ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder.

It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. All buyers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions and licensing on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale or the delay of payment of purchased items in accordance with these bidder Terms and Conditions of Sale.

If you are not able to make what you consider to be a comfortable decision about an item or if you believe an item may be incorrectly described in our catalog, we suggest that you refrain from bidding on said item.

CONDITIONS of SALE RETURNS: 7) Items may be considered for return under very specific conditions and within 30 days after the auction. It is important that you pay for and acquire your item in a timely fashion. In the event we have made a significant attribution or disclosure of condition error such that there is a major effect on the value of an item, please contact us immediately (within 30 days after the auction.) We will review under the following circumstances: A. The item has been paid for and the buyer has possession of the item.

B. The buyer must have the item reviewed by an independent party who is approved by TPAG, and is a recognized expert within the field of the item in question.

C. The expert provides a written report with specific and detailed reasons as to why the item is not as it was represented to be.

The written report must be submitted to TPAG. D. Our descriptions include what we deem to accurately portray an item’s general condition. However, opinions about condition can vary and as such, the auctioneer shall make the final determination in the possible event of a refund.

E. The timeline for this process is 30 days from the date of the auction. In the event a committee or review board must convene to review the item, TPAG must be notified in order to extend the time beyond the 30 day limit. Otherwise, after 30 days, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. F. Once TPAG has accepted the ruling of the expert(s), the buyer is to return the item to TPAG at buyer’s expense. In order to be eligible for a refund, the item must be returned in the same condition it was in when it left TPAG’s possession.

G. In the event a refund is issued, it will be for the cost of the item, buyer’s premium and any sales tax paid. The refund will be made in the same form as the payment of the original transaction.

8) No Chargeback Policy - Purchasers agree that disputes of any nature will not be resolved by a credit card chargeback and further agree to refrain from filing any chargeback claim against Thomaston Place Auction Galleries and/or its credit card merchant.

By purchasing with us, the purchaser waives the right to initiate a chargeback and furthermore agrees to pay a minimum of $500 plus administrative fees, attorney fees, and/or any other charges associated with responding to said chargeback.

9) Jewelry, Timepieces, Stamps & Coins: All sales are final. There are no returns or refunds for any reason. Jewelry and items with mechanical parts such as clocks, timepieces, mechanical banks, music boxes, etc. are sold “as-is” on the day of sale and may require servicing. The lack of a condition report does not imply that the item or lot is free from imperfections, defects or wear and tear of aging. This includes but is not limited to deficient stones, needed repair or defects.

GENERAL INFORMATION: 10) Bidder recognition: The auctioneer shall only accept bids from properly registered bidders who place bids live on the auction floor, by absentee bid, telephone bid, or online bid. The auctioneer shall acknowledge the top bidder as the winner. In the event of a disputed bid, the auctioneer will have sole and exclusive authority to resolve the dispute and determine the winning bidder.

11) The auctioneer has sole discretion and reserves the right to: A. Reject or refuse to accept any bid or bidder that may be deemed inappropriate for any reason.

14) Buyer’s Premium on all items purchased in this auction: The buyer’s premium is 17% for live, absentee, and phone bidders.

The buyer’s premium is 20% for all internet bidders.

15) Reserves: Some items in this auction may be offered subject to a reserve, which is a confidential, minimum price, below which the item cannot be sold. No reserve may exceed the pre-auction low estimate as stated in the item description.

16) Any dispute or litigation resulting from the sale of items in this auction will take place in the judicial system in the State of Maine.

Dr. Arthur & Ruth Sokoloff Coral Gables, Florida

Lots 1354 - 1409 - Asian Arts Lots 2001 - 2044 - Jewelry Lots 2045 - 2079 - Fine Art

Miami Herald - Nov. 9, 1995

DR. ARTHUR & RUTH SOKOLOFF WERE WORLD TRAVELERS who assembled an extraordinary art collection over a period of 60 years in their Coral Gables, Florida home. Dr. Sokoloff was a successful practicing dentist for 50 years, author of three books, and adjunct professor of Far Eastern Studies at the University of Miami.

His wife, Ruth, was a respected interior designer with many satisfied clients throughout South Florida.

During their 66 year marriage they raised six children. In 1957, they moved to a lovely Italian Renaissance style Coral Gables house that could accommodate their large and growing family. As the children grew older and eventually fled the nest, the Sokoloff ’s eye for collecting beautiful and rare treasures led them to transform their home to a more sophisticated, gallery-oriented design. They also met and befriended many local artists, authors and art dealers, including Milton (and Sally) Avery, Doris Lee, Fletcher Martin, and James Michener.

Their favorite European travel destinations were France, Italy, and England. They also made many trips to China and Japan. Arthur’s fascination with the Orient inspired him to write several books applying Eastern philosophies for the Western mind. One of them, titled “Life Without Stress”, became a best seller. Many important additions to their fine art, Asian, antiquities and jewelry collections were found during these trips. Ruth used to say: “If you are acquiring something you really like at a price you think is fair – it is a purchase you will never regret.”

Ruth passed away in 2010, and Arthur followed in 2017. The family has decided to disperse many important objects from their estate so that they can be preserved and appreciated by future generations for years to come.

1340 RARE EARLY QING GILT BRONZE KYLIN SET WITH SEMIPRECIOUS STONES Day 1

The Kylin (or Qilin) is a Chinese mythical creature that symbolizes prosperity and good omens. It is believed that its appearance is an auspicious sign – foretelling the birth or death of a sage, or materializing during a great ruler’s reign. Depictions of this creature combine characteristics of a variety of animals, such as the hooves of a horse, body of a deer, tail of an ox, head of a dragon, and antlers of a stag (or the single horn of a unicorn), resulting in a fierce, almost terrifying appearance. Legends, however, describe the Kylin as a peaceful and gentle being that walks amidst the clouds to avoid harming even a blade of grass.

1340 RARE EARLY QING GILT BRONZE KYLIN SET WITH SEMIPRECIOUS STONES - 17th or 18th c.

He passed the Arabic exam for the Sudan Political Service in 1905 which was then regarded as one of the top arms of the civil service. He was sent to the Kordofan and then the Blue Nile province until 1915. He was then made a senior inspector of the Khartoum province and then the assistant civil secretary and finally civil secretary of that province in 1926. In 1933, he was transferred to Tanganyika to become its governor. He held this post until 1937. In 1938, he took on the very difficult job of High Commissioner for Palestine. The difficulties of this job were demonstrated when the Jews made an attempt on his life in 1944. He survived the incident, but his wife was wounded in it. He moved to Malaya and played an instrumental role in writing a constitution for it. He also spent a year in Malta in 1946.

“My wife and I walked up to the house shortly after Christina passed (Jan 1968). She had never been through the house, so I gave her a tour and showed her the room where I was born. My father came shortly after we got there to start cleaning things out. My wife found this painting on the floor of the studio in Alvaro’s bedroom and said ‘I’d like to have this’ and my father said ‘sure.’

One night when Andy and Betsy came to the restaurant, my wife showed them the painting. Betsy took it and told us she would frame it for us. When she brought it back, all framed, we hung it in the restaurant for a while. For the safety of the painting I took it to Thomaston Bank to store it in their vault. A few years later, the bank called and asked if we would take it out because they felt something might happen to it. So, I took it to the Farnsworth and they kept it.”

— John Olson Sr. nephew of Christina & Alvaro Olson

It was the latest step in the German strategy of overrunning Belgium during the month of August 1914. Although the town fell to von Hausen’s troops on 23 August the occupation was not initially peaceful.
