Qiu Ying 仇英 (c.1494-1552), also known as Shifu 實父, pseudonym

Shizhou 十洲, was a famous professional painter based in Suzhou,

known for his ‘green and blue landscape’ style. Although he was not of

the scholar-gentry class, his talent allowed him to be invited by many

important collectors to make copies and repairs. In this way, he had

access to some of the great paintings of the time and learnt to mix the

classical style of Song and Yuan painters. Eventually, by sheer talent,

he was regarded as one of the Four Masters of the Wu School.

For a longer discussion about Qiu Ying and an example of his

landscape style, see Z.Hongxing, Masterpieces of Chinese Painting

700-1900, London, 2013, pp.260-261. He was highly regarded and

popular within his own lifetime and his signature was used on many

paintings sold by his studio. His daughter, Qiu Zhu (仇珠), and son-inlaw, You Qiu (尤求), followed him into a career in painting. Qiu Zhu’s

style is delicate and beautifully refined, while You Qiu also inherited his

father-in-law’s manner.

Compare with a related painting after Qiu Ying, 19th century, which

was sold at Bonhams London, 2 November 2021, lot 332.

Theophilus Peters was a British diplomat who served in China from

October 1948, starting as a vice consul, until 1951, with postings in

Nanking (now Nanjing), Beijing (formerly known as Peking), and some

time spent in Shanghai. Before returning to Britain with his family, he

resided in Peking/Beijing from 1965 to 1968, amidst the tumultuous

period of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

For details of the charges payable in addition to the final Hammer Price of each Lot

please refer to paragraphs 7 & 8 of the Notice to Bidders at the back of the catalogue.

The present lot is part of an album originally consisting of six prints

depicting the battle of Annan. Annan (Vietnamese: Annam) known as

Vietnam today shared a long border and close relationship with Qing

China. After the establishment of the Qing Empire, conflicts persisted

between the Southern and Northern factions within Annam. As a

result, the Qing government provided military support to the Lê faction

in Vietnam from 1788-1789.

Originally influenced by prints from engraver Georg Philipp Rugendas

I (1666-1742), the Qianlong Emperor commissioned four missionary

artists, including Giuseppe Castiglione, to create drawings of his earlier

military campaigns. Enthralled by the wall paintings and engravings

created by Jesuits at the Imperial court to memorialise his triumphs in

Central Asia, Emperor Qianlong sought similar commemorative prints

for his later military campaigns. However, by the time of the Vietnam

campaign (1788-1789), all four Jesuit painters involved in the initial

series had passed away. Consequently, Chinese court painters trained

by the Jesuits were assigned the task, mixing both Chinese and

European elements.

The inscription at the top demonstrates the bravery and cunning of the

Qing army:

遇險應(yīng)知襲後攻，諭馳未至不期同

統(tǒng)軍素悉田豐策，勇將偏饒李愬雄

臨下?lián)弑祟H熾，出奇制勝我成功

黎城將近兵威鼓，眾志維揚企績崇

Which may be translated as:

When encountering danger, one should anticipate striking after

being attacked,

Swiftly advising to expect the unexpected, unity prevails.

Leading the army, fully informed of Tian Feng’s strategies,

Brave generals, particularly nurturing Li Su, the hero.

Confronting adversity from a higher position, the enemy’s fervor

diminished, Employing surprise tactics, we achieve success.

Near Li City, the drums of war resound, The aspirations of the

multitude uphold our lofty achievements.

The full album of Pingding Annan desheng tu is in the Palace Museum

collection (acc.no.故00006753-4/6). See also a related etching of a

different military campaign, in the British Museum, illustrated by C.Von

Spee, The Printed Image in China from the 8th to the 21st Centuries,

London, 2010, p.119.

London, 6 July 2023, lots 39-40.

A PAIR OF VERY LARGE EMBROIDERED

SILK ‘HUNDRED BIRDS’ PANELS SET

INTO HONGMU SCREENS

19th century

The panels finely embroidered with a

multitudinous variety of birds fluttering in

luxuriant, flowering gardens, all on cream

silk grounds, the reticulated frames and

stands skillfully carved with lotus blooms and

entwined scrolling foliage, set on recumbent

Buddhist lion feet.

The scene depicts numerous birds, in tribute

to the popular and auspicious design of the

‘Hundred Birds Paying Tribute to the Phoenix’.

According to Chinese legend, the phoenix

is the Queen of all feathered creatures,

appearing only in times of prosperity and

peace. Birds also played a prominent part in

the visual culture of rank and hierarchy, as the

various ranks of the civil bureaucracy were

represented on official robes with badges

depicting a bird. Thus, the first rank badge

was a Manchurian crane; the second rank,

a golden pheasant; the third, a peacock,

etc., down to the eighth and ninth ranks

represented by quails and sparrows.

Screen depicting the multitudes of birds,

in an Imperial context, would suggest the

harmonious gathering of officials at court: the

bird kingdom mirroring the Son of Heaven’s

human realm.

A similar single ‘hundred-birds’ silk

embroidered wood framed panel,

19th century, is in Greenway House,

Devon, but without the lower wood section

(acc.no.NT118793). A single similar large

blue-ground embroidered ‘hundred-birds’

panel inset within a wooden screen, 19th

century, was sold at Christie’s London,

6 November 2018, lot 319.

‘DRAGON’ ROUNDEL

Kangxi

Finely woven with a front-facing five-clawed

dragon with its body coiled around a ‘flaming

pearl’ as it leaps amidst ruyi-shaped clouds,

above billowing waves, all finely executed

in fine gold and multicoloured threads on a

A MANCHU WOMAN’S LAVENDER SILK

ROBE, CHANGYI

19th century

Finely embroidered throughout in satin stitch

with sprigs of cherry blossoms and clusters

of ruyi, bats and peaches, all executed in the

varying shades of turquoise and aubergine

and interspersed with Shou characters sewn

in gold-wrapped thread, within cream borders

of flittering butterflies and floral bunches, the

pale cream cuffs with further butterflies and

blossoming peonies, the interior lined with

yellow silk.

137cm (54in) long x 130.5cm (51 1/8in) wide.

￡3,000 - 5,000

CNY27,000 - 46,000

十九世紀 雪灰色緞地繡蝠壽花蝶紋氅衣

Elegantly embroidered with floral and animal

designs, the present robe is replete with

auspicious symbolism conveying wishes

for happiness and long life and displays the

typical fashion trends followed by young

Manchu noblewomen associated with the

Court of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Clothing was a critical means of selfexpression for all women at the Court and

their fondness for auspicious designs was in

line with the visual culture of the time.

The blooming prunus symbolised both

resilience, flourishing amidst winter’s chill,

and longevity. The inclusion of butterflies and

peaches further reinforced the concept of

enduring life. The name for butterfly, hudie, is

homophonous with terms denoting advanced

age, and large peaches were believed to

grow in the lush garden of the queen Mother

of the West. The deity, residing in the Kunlun

Mountains is associated with immortality,

longevity and the elixir of life.

Compare with a related red-ground silk robe

decorated with butterflies, 19th century, which

was sold at Bonhams London, 16 May 2019,

lot 195.

十八/十九世紀 碧玉龍鳳雲(yún)蝠紋雙聯(lián)鼻煙壺

The present lot is distinguished and

noteworthy for its incorporation of various

auspicious decorative motifs. The lingzhi

fungus shaped cloud scrolls are symbols

of longevity and immortality. In Chinese,

the character of bat fu is a homophone for

happiness. Also, the combination of dragon

and phoenix, considered the most auspicious

animals, conveys good omens inviting

happiness to marriage. Collectively, these

elements encapsulate the good wish for a

happy and long life.

bottle, 1780-1850, which was sold at

The popularity of yellow nephrite in Imperial circles

might reflect a desire to find a close and natural

equivalent to the Imperial colour in jade. See a

Li Guijun, born in 1964 in Beijing, graduated from the Oil Painting

Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1988 with a

bachelor’s degree. He pursued further studying under the supervision

of Jin Shangyi and Yang Feiyun, earning a postgraduate degree from

the Central Academy of Fine Arts. He has been acclaimed by critics as

a leading figure of the third generation of Chinese Realistic Oil Painting

and the New Classical Painting.

Li Guijun’s artistic focus predominantly centres on female subjects,

where he delves into the nuanced spiritual dimensions of women

within the realm of oil painting. His figurative works are distinguished

by a keen awareness of spatial composition, figurative modelling, and

masterful brushwork. In the present lot, a young woman is depicted

seated before a mirror, gazing at the reflection of herself, braiding

her hair. The facial expression of the girl is tranquil and serene,

transcending the clamour of modern life.

and dated 2000, which was sold by Christie’s Hong Kong,

This notice is addressed by Bonhams to any person who may be

interested in a Lot, and to all persons participating in the auction

process including auction attendees, Bidders and potential Bidders

(including any eventual Buyer of the Lot). For ease of reference we refer

to such persons as “Bidders” or “you”. Our List of Definitions and

Glossary is incorporated into this Notice to Bidders. It is at Appendix 3

at the back of the Catalogue. Where words and phrases are used in

this notice which are in the List of Definitions, they are printed in italics.

IMPORTANT: Additional information applicable to the Sale may be set

out in the Catalogue for the Sale, in an insert in the Catalogue and/or in

a notice displayed at the Sale venue and you should read them as well.

Announcements affecting the Sale may also be given out orally before

and during the Sale without prior written notice. You should be alert to

the possibility of changes and ask in advance of bidding if there have

been any.

1. OUR ROLE

In its role as Auctioneer of Lots, Bonhams acts solely for and in the

interests of the Seller. Bonhams’ job is to sell the Lot at the highest

price obtainable at the Sale to a Bidder. Bonhams does not act for

Buyers or Bidders in this role and does not give advice to Buyers or

Bidders. When it or its staff make statements about a Lot or, if

Bonhams provides a Condition Report on a Lot it is doing that on

behalf of the Seller of the Lot. Bidders and Buyers who are themselves

not expert in the Lots are strongly advised to seek and obtain

independent advice on the Lots and their value before bidding for

them. The Seller has authorised Bonhams to sell the Lot as its agent on

its behalf and, save where we expressly make it clear to the contrary,

Bonhams acts only as agent for the Seller. Any statement or

representation we make in respect of a Lot is made on the Seller’s

behalf and, unless Bonhams sells a Lot as principal, not on our behalf

and any Contract for Sale is between the Buyer and the Seller and not

with us. If Bonhams sells a Lot as principal this will either be stated in

the Catalogue or an announcement to that effect will be made by the

Auctioneer, or it will be stated in a notice at the Sale or an insert in the

Catalogue.

Bonhams does not owe or undertake or agree to any duty or

responsibility to you in contract or tort (whether direct, collateral,

express, implied or otherwise). If you successfully bid for a Lot and buy

it, at that stage Bonhams does enter into an agreement with you as the

Buyer. The terms of that contract are set out in our Buyer’s Agreement,

which you will find at Appendix 2 at the back of the Catalogue, and this

will govern Bonhams’ relationship with the Buyer.

2. LOTS

Subject to the Contractual Description printed in bold letters in the

Entry about the Lot in the Catalogue (see paragraph 3 below), Lots are

sold to the Buyer on an “as is” basis, with all faults and imperfections.

Illustrations and photographs contained in the Catalogue (other than

photographs forming part of the Contractual Description) or elsewhere

of any Lots are for identification purposes only. A photograph or

illustration may not reflect an accurate reproduction of the colour(s) or

true condition of the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the

Sale and it is for you to satisfy yourself as to each and every aspect of

a Lot, including its authorship, attribution, condition, provenance,

history, background, authenticity, style, period, age, suitability, quality,

roadworthiness (if relevant), origin, value and estimated selling price

(including the Hammer Price). It is your responsibility to examine any

Lot in which you are interested. It should be remembered that the

actual condition of a Lot may not be as good as that indicated by its

outward appearance. In particular, parts may have been replaced or

renewed and Lots may not be authentic or of satisfactory quality; the

inside of a Lot may not be visible and may not be original or may be

damaged, as for example where it is covered by upholstery or material.

Given the age of many Lots they may have been damaged and/or

repaired and you should not assume that a Lot is in good condition.

Electronic or mechanical items or parts are sold for their artistic, historic

or cultural interest and may not operate or may not comply with current

statutory requirements. You should not assume that electrical items

designed to operate on mains electricity will be suitable for connection

to the mains electricity supply and you should obtain a report from a

qualified electrician on their status before doing so. Such items which

are unsuitable for connection are sold as items of interest for display

purposes only. If you yourself do not have expertise regarding a Lot,

you should consult someone who does to advise you. We can assist in

arranging facilities for you to carry out or have carried out more detailed

inspections and tests. Please ask our staff for details.

Any person who damages a Lot will be held liable for the

loss caused.

3. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS AND ESTIMATES

Contractual Description of a Lot

The Catalogue contains an Entry about each Lot. Each Lot is sold by

its respective Seller to the Buyer of the Lot as corresponding only with

that part of the Entry which is printed in bold letters and (except for the

colour, which may be inaccurately reproduced) with any photograph of

the Lot in the Catalogue. The remainder of the Entry, which is not

printed in bold letters, represents Bonhams’ opinion (given on behalf of

the Seller) about the Lot only and is not part of the Contractual

Description in accordance with which the Lot is sold by the Seller.

Estimates

In most cases, an Estimate is printed beside the Entry. Estimates are

only an expression of Bonhams’ opinion made on behalf of the Seller of

the range where Bonhams thinks the Hammer Price for the Lot is likely

to fall; it is not an Estimate of value. It does not take into account any

VAT or Buyer’s Premium payable or any other fees payable by the

Buyer, which are detailed in paragraph 7 of the Notice to Bidders,

below. Prices depend upon bidding and lots can sell for Hammer

Prices below and above the Estimates, so Estimates should not be

relied on as an indication of the actual selling price or value of a Lot.

Estimates are in the currency of the Sale.

Condition Reports

In respect of most Lots, you may ask Bonhams for a Condition Report

on the Lot’s general physical condition. If you do so, this will be

provided by Bonhams on behalf of the Seller free of charge. As this is

offered additionally and without charge, Bonhams is not entering into a

contract with you in respect of the Condition Report and accordingly

does not assume responsibility to you in respect of it. The Condition

Report represents Bonhams’ reasonable opinion as to the Lot’s general

condition in the terms stated in the particular report, and Bonhams

does not represent or guarantee that a Condition Report includes all

aspects of the internal or external condition of the Lot. Neither does the

Seller owe or agree to owe you as a Bidder or Buyer any obligation or

duty in respect of this free report about a Lot, which is available for your

own inspection or for inspection by an expert instructed by you.

The Seller’s responsibility to you

The Seller does not make or agree to make any representation of fact

or contractual promise, Guarantee or warranty and undertakes no

obligation or duty, whether in contract or in tort (other than to the

eventual Buyer as set out above), in respect of the accuracy or

completeness of any statement or representation made by him or on

his behalf, which is in any way descriptive of any Lot or as to the

anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot. Other than as set out

above, no statement or representation in any way descriptive of a Lot

or any Estimate is incorporated into any Contract for Sale between a

Seller and a Buyer.

Bonhams’ responsibility to you

You have the opportunity of examining the Lot if you want to and the

Contract for Sale for a Lot is with the Seller and not with Bonhams;

Bonhams acts as the Seller’s agent only (unless Bonhams sells the Lot

as principal).

Bonhams undertakes no obligation to you to examine, investigate or

carry out any tests, either in sufficient depth or at all, on each Lot to

establish the accuracy or otherwise of any Descriptions or opinions

given by Bonhams, or by any person on Bonhams’ behalf, whether in

the Catalogue or elsewhere.

You should not suppose that such examinations, investigations or tests

have occurred.

Bonhams does not make or agree to make any representation of fact,

and undertakes no obligation or duty (whether in contract or tort) in

respect of the accuracy or completeness of any statement or

representation made by Bonhams or on Bonhams’ behalf which is in

any way descriptive of any Lot or as to the anticipated or likely selling

price of any Lot. No statement or representation by Bonhams or on its

behalf in any way descriptive of any Lot or any Estimate is incorporated

into our Buyer’s Agreement.

Alterations

Descriptions and Estimates may be amended at Bonhams’ discretion

from time to time by notice given orally or in

writing before or during a Sale.

THE LOT IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AND YOU MUST FORM

YOUR OWN OPINION IN RELATION TO IT. YOU ARE STRONGLY

ADVISED TO EXAMINE ANY LOT OR HAVE IT EXAMINED ON YOUR

BEHALF BEFORE THE SALE.

4. CONDUCT OF THE SALE

Our Sales are public auctions which persons may attend and you

should take the opportunity to do so. We reserve the right at our sole

discretion to refuse admission to our premises or to any Sale and to

remove any person from our premises and Sales, without stating a

reason. We have complete discretion as to whether the Sale proceeds,

whether any Lot is included in the Sale, the manner in which the Sale is

conducted and we may offer Lots for Sale in any order we choose

notwithstanding the numbers given to Lots in the Catalogue. You

should therefore check the date and starting time of the Sale, whether

there have been any withdrawals or late entries. Remember that

withdrawals and late entries may affect the time at which a Lot you are

interested is put up for Sale. We have complete discretion in which to

refuse any bid, to nominate any bidding increment we consider

appropriate, to divide any Lot, to combine two or more Lots, to

withdraw any Lot from a Sale and, before the Sale has been closed, to

put up any Lot for auction again. Auction speeds can exceed 100 Lots

to the hour and bidding increments are generally about 10%; however,

these do vary from Sale to Sale and from Auctioneer to Auctioneer.

Please check with the department organising the Sale for advice on

this. Where a Reserve has been applied to a Lot, the Auctioneer may,

in his absolute discretion, place bids (up to an amount not equalling or

exceeding such Reserve) on behalf of the Seller. We are not

responsible to you in respect of the presence or absence of any

Reserve in respect of any Lot. If there is a Reserve it will be no higher

than the lower figure for any Estimate in the Catalogue, assuming that

the currency of the Reserve has not fluctuated adversely against the

currency of the Estimate. The Buyer will be the Bidder who makes the

highest bid acceptable to the Auctioneer for any Lot (subject to any

applicable Reserve) to whom the Lot is knocked down by the

Auctioneer at the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer. Any dispute as to the

highest acceptable bid will be settled by the Auctioneer in his absolute

discretion. All bids tendered will relate to the actual Lot number

announced by the Auctioneer. An electronic currency converter may be

used at the Sale. This equipment is provided as a general guide as to

the equivalent amount in certain currencies of a given bid. We do not

accept any responsibility for any errors which may occur in the use of

the currency converter. We may use video cameras to record the Sale

and may record telephone calls for reasons of security and to assist in

solving any disputes which may arise in relation to bids made at the

Sale. At some Sales, for example, jewellery Sales, we may use screens

on which images of the Lots will be projected. This service is provided

to assist viewing at the Sale. The image on the screen should be

treated as an indication only of the current Lot. It should be noted that

all bids tendered will relate to the actual Lot number announced by

the Auctioneer. We do not accept any responsibility for any errors

which may occur in the use of the screen.

5. BIDDING

You must complete and deliver to us one of our Bidding Forms, either

our Bidder Registration Form, Absentee Bidding Form or Telephone

Bidding Form in order to bid at our Sales.

If you are a new client at Bonhams or have not recently updated your

registration details with us, you must pre-register to bid at least two

working days before the Sale at which you wish to bid. You will be

required to provide government-issued proof of identity and residence,

and if you are a company, your certificate of incorporation or equivalent

documentation with your name and registered address, government

issued proof of your current address, documentary proof of your

beneficial owners and directors, and proof of authority to transact.

We may also request a financial reference and /or deposit from you

before allowing you to bid.

We reserve the rights at our discretion to request further information in

order to complete our client identification and to decline to register any

person as a Bidder, and to decline to accept their bids if they have

been so registered. We also reserve the rights to postpone completion

of the Sale of any Lot at our discretion while we complete our

registration and identification enquiries, and to cancel the Sale of any

Lot if you are in breach of your warranties as Buyer, or if we consider

that such Sale would be unlawful or otherwise cause liabilities for the

Seller or Bonhams or be detrimental to Bonhams’ reputation.

Bidding in person

So long as you have pre-registered to bid or have updated your

existing registration recently, you should come to our Bidder registration

desk at the Sale venue and fill out a Registration and Bidding Form on

(or, if possible, before) the day of the Sale. The bidding number system

is sometimes referred to as “paddle bidding”. You will be issued with a

large card (a “paddle”) with a printed number on it. This will be

attributed to you for the purposes of the Sale. Should you be a

successful Bidder you will need to ensure that your number can be

clearly seen by the Auctioneer and that it is your number which is

identified as the Buyer’s. You should not let anyone else use your

paddle as all Lots will be invoiced to the name and address given on

your Bidder Registration Form. Once an invoice is issued it will not be

changed. If there is any doubt as to the Hammer Price of, or whether

you are the successful Bidder of, a particular Lot, you must draw this to

the attention of the Auctioneer before the next Lot is offered for Sale. At

the end of the Sale, or when you have finished bidding please return

your paddle to the Bidder registration desk.

Bidding by telephone

If you wish to bid at the Sale by telephone, and have pre-registered to

bid or have updated your existing registration details recently, please

complete a Registration and Bidding Form, which is available from our

offices or in the Catalogue. Please then return it to the office

responsible for the Sale at least 24 hours in advance of the Sale. It is

your responsibility to check with our Bids Office that your bid has been

received. Telephone calls will be recorded. The telephone bidding

facility is a discretionary service offered at no additional charge and

may not be available in relation to all Lots. We will not be responsible

for bidding on your behalf if you are unavailable at the time of the Sale

or if the telephone connection is interrupted during bidding. Please

contact us for further details.

Bidding by post or fax

Absentee Bidding Forms can be found in the back of this Catalogue

and should be completed and sent to the office responsible for the

Sale, once you have pre-registered to bid or have updated your

existing registration details recently. It is in your interests to return your

form as soon as possible, as if two or more Bidders submit identical

bids for a Lot, the first bid received takes preference. In any event, all

bids should be received at least 24 hours before the start of the Sale.

Please check your Absentee Bidding Form carefully before returning it

to us, fully completed and signed by you. It is your responsibility to

check with our Bids Office that your bid has been received. This

additional service is complimentary and is confidential. Such bids are

made at your own risk and we cannot accept liability for our failure to

receive and/or place any such bids. All bids made on your behalf will be

made at the lowest level possible subject to Reserves and other bids

made for the Lot. Where appropriate your bids will be rounded down to

the nearest amount consistent with the Auctioneer’s bidding

increments. New Bidders must also provide proof of identity and

address when submitting bids. Failure to do this will result in your bid

not being placed.

Bidding via the internet

In order to bid online in a Sale, you must be 18 or over and you must

register to bid via the Bonhams App or www.bonhams.com. Once

you have registered, you should keep your account details strictly

confidential and not permit any third party to access your account on

your behalf or otherwise. You will be liable for any and all bids made via

your account. Please note payment must be made from a bank

account in the name of the registered bidder.

Individuals: Enter your full name, email, residential address, date of birth

and nationality and provide a valid credit card in your name which will

be verified via Stripe before you are able to bid. If your credit card fails

verification, you will not be permitted to bid and you should contact

Client Services for assistance. We may in addition request a financial

reference and/or deposit from you prior to letting you bid. If you are

bidding as agent on behalf of another party, you agree: (i) to disclose

this fact to Client Services; (ii) to provide such information as we require

to enable us to complete our identification and anti-money laundering

checks on that third party; and (ii) where your bid is successful, you are

jointly and severally liable with that other party for the full amounts

owing for the successful bid. Where you are the successful bidder for

any lot with a hammer price equal to or in excess of ￡5,000/$10,000/

HKD50,000/AUS$10,000 depending on the jurisdiction and currency of

the Sale, and if you have not provided such documents previously, you

will be required to upload or provide to Client Services your

Government issued photo ID and (if not on the ID) proof of your

NOTICE TO BIDDERS

NTB/MAIN/V2/3.2024

address before the lot can be released to you. We reserve the right to

request ID documentation from any bidder or successful buyer

regardless of these thresholds and to refuse to release any purchased

lot until such documentation is provided.

Companies: You must select the option to set up a business account

and then provide your full name, email, residential address, date of birth

and the full name of the company. You must provide a credit card for

verification either in your name or the name of the company but

payment must be made from an account in the company’s name. If

your credit card fails verification, you will not be permitted to bid and

please contact Client Services for assistance. We may in addition

require a bank reference or deposit prior to letting you bid. For all

successful bids, we require the company’s Certificate of Incorporation

or equivalent documentation confirming the company’s name and

registered address, documentary proof of each beneficial owner

owning 25% or more of the company, and proof of your authority to

transact before the lot can be released to you.

We reserve the right to request any further information from any bidder

that we may require in order to carry out any identification, anti-money

laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks conducted by us. We

may at our discretion postpone or cancel your registration, not permit

you to bid and/or postpone or cancel completion of any purchase you

may make.

Bidding through an agent

Bids will be treated as placed exclusively by and on behalf of the

person named on the Bidding Form unless otherwise agreed by us in

writing in advance of the Sale. If you wish to bid on behalf of another

person (your principal) you must complete the pre-registration

requirements set out above both on your own behalf and with full

details of your principal, and we will require written confirmation from

the principal confirming your authority to bid.

You are specifically referred to your due diligence requirements

concerning your principal and their source of funds, and the

warranties you give in the event you are the Buyer, which are

contained in paragraph 3 of the Buyer’s Agreement, set out at

Appendix 2 at the back of the Catalogue.

Nevertheless, as the Bidding Form explains, any person placing a bid

as agent on behalf of another (whether or not he has disclosed that

fact) will be jointly and severally liable with the principal to the Seller and

to Bonhams under any contract resulting from the acceptance of a bid.

Equally, please let us know if you intend to nominate another person to

bid on your behalf at the Sale unless this is to be carried out by us

pursuant to a Telephone or Absentee Bidding Form that you have

completed. If we do not approve the agency arrangements in writing

before the Sale, we are entitled to assume that the person bidding at

the Sale is bidding on his own behalf. Accordingly, the person bidding

at the Sale will be the Buyer and will be liable to pay the Hammer Price

and Buyer’s Premium and associated charges. If we approve the

identity of your client in advance, we will be in a position to address the

invoice to your principal rather than you. We will require proof of the

agent’s client’s identity and residence in advance of any bids made by

the agent on his behalf. Please refer to our Conditions of Business and

contact our Customer Services Department for further details.

Bonhams undertakes Customer Due Diligence (CDD) into its Sellers and

Buyers as required by the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and

Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (“the

Regulations”). Bonhams’ interpretation of the Regulations and Treasury

Approved industry Guidance is that CDD under the Regulations is not

required by Buyers into Sellers at Bonhams auctions or vice versa.

6. CONTRACTS BETWEEN THE BUYER AND SELLER AND THE

BUYER AND BONHAMS

On the Lot being knocked down to the Buyer, a Contract for Sale of

the Lot will be entered into between the Seller and the Buyer on the

terms of the Contract for Sale set out in Appendix 1 at the back of the

Catalogue. You will be liable to pay the Purchase Price, which is the

Hammer Price plus any applicable VAT. At the same time, a separate

contract is also entered into between us as Auctioneers and the Buyer.

This is our Buyer’s Agreement, the terms of which are set out in

Appendix 2 at the back of the Catalogue. Please read the terms of the

Contract for Sale and our Buyer’s Agreement contained in the

Catalogue in case you are the successful Bidder including the

warranties as to your status and source of funds. We may change the

terms of either or both of these agreements in advance of their being

entered into, by setting out different terms in the Catalogue and/or by

placing an insert in the Catalogue and/or by notices at the Sale venue

and/or by oral announcements before and during the Sale. It is your

responsibility to ensure you are aware of the up to date terms of the

Buyer’s Agreement for this Sale.

7. BUYER’S PREMIUM AND OTHER CHARGES PAYABLE BY

THE BUYER

Under the Buyer’s Agreement, a premium (the Buyer’s Premium) is

payable to us by the Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Buyer’s

Agreement and at rates set out below, calculated by reference to the

Hammer Price and payable in addition to it.

For this Sale the following rates of Buyer’s Premium will be payable by

Buyers on each Lot purchased:

28% of the Hammer Price on the first ￡40,000; plus

27% of the Hammer Price from ￡40,001 and up to ￡800,000; plus

21% of the Hammer Price from ￡800,001 and up to ￡4,500,000; plus

14.5% of the Hammer Price above ￡4,500,000

Storage and handling charges may also be payable by the Buyer

as detailed on the specific Sale Information page at the front of the

catalogue.

Note: only one debit or credit card may be used for payment of an

account balance. If you have any questions with regards to card

payments, please contact our Customer Services Department.

We reserve the rights to investigate and identify the source of any funds

received by us, to postpone completion of the sale of any Lot at our

discretion while we complete our investigations, and to cancel the

Sale of any Lot if you are in breach of your warranties as Buyer, if we

consider that such Sale would be unlawful or otherwise cause liabilities for

the Seller or Bonhams, or would be detrimental to Bonhams’ reputation.

10. COLLECTION AND STORAGE

The Buyer of a Lot will not be allowed to collect it until payment in full

and in cleared funds has been made (unless we have made a special

arrangement with the Buyer). For collection and removal of purchased

Lots, please refer to Sale Information at the front of the Catalogue. Our

cancellation of any Sale, nor allow any delay in making full payment

for the Lot.

14. THE SELLERS AND/OR BONHAMS’ LIABILITY

Other than any liability of the Seller to the Buyer of a Lot under the

Contract for Sale, neither we nor the Seller are liable (whether in

negligence or otherwise) for any error or misdescription or omission

in any Description of a Lot or any Estimate in respect of it, whether

contained in the Catalogue or otherwise, whether given orally or in

writing and whether given before or during the Sale. Neither we nor the

Seller will be liable for any loss of Business, profits, revenue or income,

or for loss of reputation, or for disruption to Business or wasted time on

the part of management or staff, or for indirect losses or consequential

damages of any kind, irrespective in any case of the nature, volume or

source of the loss or damage alleged to be suffered, and irrespective

of whether the said loss or damage is caused by or claimed in respect

of any negligence, other tort, breach of contract (if any) or statutory

duty, restitutionary claim or otherwise. In any circumstances where

we and/or the Seller are liable in relation to any Lot or any Description

or Estimate made of any Lot, or the conduct of any Sale in relation

to any Lot, whether in damages, for an indemnity or contribution,

or for a restitutionary remedy or otherwise, our and/or the Seller’s

liability (combined, if both we and the Seller are liable) will be limited

to payment of a sum which will not exceed by way of maximum the

amount of the Purchase Price of the Lot irrespective in any case of

the nature, volume or source of any loss or damage alleged to be

suffered or sum claimed as due, and irrespective of whether the liability

arises from any negligence, other tort, breach of contract (if any) or

statutory duty or otherwise. Nothing set out above will be construed

as excluding or restricting (whether directly or indirectly) our liability or

excluding or restricting any person’s rights or remedies in respect of (i)

fraud, or (ii) death or personal injury caused by our negligence (or by

the negligence of any person under our control or for whom we are

legally responsible), or (iii) acts or omissions for which we are liable

under the Occupiers Liability Act 1957, or (iv) any other liability to the

extent the same may not be excluded or restricted as a matter of law

or (v) our undertakings under paragraphs 9 (in relation to specialist

Stamp or Book Sales only) and 10 of the Buyer’s Agreement. The same

applies in respect of the Seller, as if references to us in this paragraph

were substituted with references to the Seller.

15. BOOKS

As stated above, all Lots are sold on an “as is” basis, subject to all

faults, imperfections and errors of Description save as set out below.

However, you will be entitled to reject a Book in the circumstances set

out in paragraph 11 of the Buyers Agreement. Please note that Lots

comprising printed Books, unframed maps and bound manuscripts are

not liable to VAT on the Buyer’s Premium.

The Buyer’s Premium and all other charges payable to us by the Buyer

are subject to VAT at the prevailing rate, currently 20%.

VAT may also be payable on the Hammer Price of the Lot, where

indicated by a symbol beside the Lot number. See paragraph 8 below

for details.

On certain Lots, which will be marked “AR” in the Catalogue and

which are sold for a Hammer Price of ￡1,000 or greater, the Additional

Premium will be payable to us by the Buyer to cover our Expenses

relating to the payment of royalties under the Artist’s Resale Right

Regulations 2006, as amended. The Additional Premium will be

accordance with the table below, and shall not exceed ￡12,500.

8. VAT

The prevailing rate of VAT at the time of going to press is 20%, but this

is subject to government change and the rate payable will be the rate

denote that VAT is due on the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium:

? VAT at the prevailing rate on Hammer Price and

Buyer’s Premium

? VAT on imported items at the prevailing rate on Hammer Price

and Buyer’s Premium

* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer

Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer’s Premium

G Gold bullion exempt from VAT on the Hammer Price and subject

? Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or

the Buyer’s Premium

a Buyers from within the UK: VAT is payable at the prevailing rate

on just the Buyer’s Premium (NOT the Hammer Price). Buyers

from outside the UK: VAT is payable at the prevailing rate on

both Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium. If a Buyer, having

registered under a non-UK address, decides that the item is not

to be exported from the UK, then he should advise Bonhams

immediately.

In all other instances no VAT will be charged on the Hammer Price,

but VAT at the prevailing rate will be added to Buyer’s Premium which

will be invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis.

9. PAYMENT

It is of critical importance that you ensure that you have readily available

funds to pay the Purchase Price and the Buyer’s Premium (plus VAT

and any other charges and Expenses to us)in full before making a bid

for the Lot. If you are a successful Bidder, payment will be due to us by

4.30 pm on the second working day after the Sale so that all sums are

NTB/MAIN/V2/3.2024

16. CLOCKS AND WATCHES

All Lots are sold “as is”, and the absence of any reference to the

condition of a clock or watch does not imply that the Lot is in good

condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks

and watches have been repaired in the course of their normal lifetime

and may now incorporate parts not original to them. Furthermore,

Bonhams makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch

is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and

complex mechanisms, Bidders should be aware that a general service,

change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely

responsible, may be necessary.

17. FIREARMS – PROOF, CONDITION AND CERTIFICATION

Proof of Firearms

The term “proof exemption” indicates that a firearm has been examined

at a Proof House, but not proved, as either (a) it was deemed of

interest and not intended for use, or (b) ammunition was not available.

In either case, the firearm must be regarded as unsafe to fire unless

subsequently proved. Firearms proved for Black Powder should not be

used with smokeless ammunition.

The term “Certificate of Unprovability” indicates that a firearm has been

examined at a Proof House and is deemed both unsuitable for proof

and use. Reproof is required before any such firearm is to be used.

Guns Sold as Parts

Barrels of guns sold as parts will only be made available for sleeving

and measurements once rendered unserviceable according to the Gun

Barrel Proof Act of 1968 to 1978 and the Rules of Proof.

Condition of Firearms

Comment in this Catalogue is restricted, in general, to exceptional

condition and to those defects that might affect the immediate safety of

a firearm in normal use. An intending Bidder unable to make technical

examinations and assessments is recommended to seek advice from a

gunmaker or from a modern firearms specialist. All prospective Bidders

are advised to consult the ?

of bore and wall-thickness measurements

posted in the saleroom and available from the department. Bidders

should note that guns are stripped only where there is a strong

indication of a mechanical malfunction. Stripping is not, otherwise,

undertaken. Guns intended for use should be stripped and cleaned

beforehand. Hammer guns should have their rebound mechanisms

checked before use. The safety mechanisms of all guns must be tested

before use. All measurements are approximate.

Original Gun Specifications Derived from Gunmakers

The Sporting Gun Department endeavours to confirm a gun’s original

specification and date of manufacture with makers who hold their

original records.

Licensing Requirements

Firearms Act 1968 as amended

Bonhams is constantly reviewing its procedures and would remind

you that, in the case of firearms or shotguns subject to certification,

to conform with current legislation, Bonhams is required to see, as

appropriate, your original registered firearms dealer’s certificate / shot

gun certificate / firearm certificate / museum firearms licence / Section

5 authority or import licence (or details of any exemption from which

you may benefit, for instance Crown servant status) for the firearm(s)

you have purchased prior to taking full payment of the amount

shown on your invoice. Should you not already be in possession of

such an authority or exemption, you are required to initially pay a

deposit of 95% of the total invoice with the balance of 5% payable on

presentation of your valid certificate or licence showing your authority

to hold the firearm(s) concerned.

Please be advised that if a successful Bidder is then unable to produce

the correct paperwork, the Lot(s) will be reoffered by Bonhams in the

next appropriate Sale, on standard terms for Sellers, and you will be

responsible for any loss incurred by Bonhams on the original Sale to

you.

In the case of RFD certificates and Section 5 authorities, we wish

to keep an up-to-date copy on file. Please supply us with a Fax or

photocopy. It would be helpful if you could send us an updated copy

whenever your certificate or authority is renewed or changed.

Lots marked ‘S1′ and bearing red labels are Section 1 firearms and

require a valid British Firearms certificate, RFD Licence or import

licence.

Lots marked ‘S2’ and bearing blue labels are Section 2 firearms and

require a valid British Shotgun certificate, RFD licence or import licence.

Lots marked ‘S5′ and bearing specially marked red labels are Section

5 prohibited firearms and require a valid Section 5 Authority or import

licence.

Lots marked with a ‘S58′ and bearing yellow labels are for obsolete

calibres and no licence is required unless ammunition is held.

Unmarked Lots require no licence.

Please do not hesitate to contact the Modern Sporting Gun

Department should you have any queries.

Taxidermy and Related Items

On behalf of the Seller of these articles, Bonhams undertakes to

comply fully with Cites and DEFRA regulations. Buyers are advised

to inform themselves of all such regulations and should expect the

exportation of items to take some time to arrange.

18. FURNITURE

Upholstered Furniture

Whilst we take every care in cataloguing furniture which has been

upholstered we offer no Guarantee as to the originality

of the wood covered by fabric or upholstery.

19. JEWELLERY

Gemstones

Historically many gemstones have been subjected to a variety of

treatments to enhance their appearance. Sapphires and rubies are

routinely heat treated to improve their colour and clarity, similarly

emeralds are frequently treated with oils or resin for the same purpose.

Other treatments such as staining, irradiation or coating may have

been used on other gemstones. These treatments may be permanent,

whilst others may need special care or re-treatment over the years

to retain their appearance. Bidders should be aware that Estimates

assume that gemstones may have been subjected to such treatments.

A number of laboratories issue certificates that give more detailed

Descriptions of gemstones. However there may not be consensus

between different laboratories on the degrees, or types of treatment for

any particular gemstone. In the event that Bonhams has been given or

has obtained certificates for any Lot in the Sale these certificates will be

disclosed in the Catalogue. Although, as a matter of policy, Bonhams

endeavours to provide certificates from recognised laboratories for

certain gemstones, it is not feasible to obtain certificates for each Lot.

In the event that no certificate is published in the Catalogue, Bidders

should assume that the gemstones may have been treated. Neither

Bonhams nor the Seller accepts any liability for contradictions or

differing certificates obtained by Buyers on any Lots subsequent to

the Sale.

Estimated Weights

If a stone(s) weight appears within the body of the Description in capital

letters, the stone(s) has been unmounted and weighed by Bonhams.

If the weight of the stone(s) is stated to be approximate and does not

appear in capital letters, the stone(s) has been assessed by us within

its/their settings, and the stated weight is a statement of our opinion

only. This information is given as a guide and Bidders should satisfy

themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy.

Signatures

1. A diamond brooch, by Kutchinsky

When the maker’s name appears in the title, in Bonhams’ opinion the

piece is by that maker.

2. A diamond brooch, signed Kutchinsky

Has a signature that, in Bonhams’ opinion, is authentic but may contain

gemstones that are not original, or the piece may have been altered.

3. A diamond brooch, mounted by Kutchinsky

Has been created by the jeweller, in Bonhams’ opinion, but using

stones or designs supplied by the client.

20. PHOTOGRAPHS

Explanation of Catalogue Terms

? “Bill Brandt”: in our opinion a work by the artist.

? “Attributed to Bill Brandt”: in our opinion probably a work by the

artist, but less certainty to authorship is expressed than in the

preceding category.

? “Signed and/or titled and/or dated and/or inscribed”: in our opinion

the signature and/or title and/or date and/or inscription are in the

artist’s hand.

? “Signed and/or titled and/or dated and/or inscribed in another

hand”: in our opinion the signature and/or title and/or date and/or

inscription have been added by

another hand.

? The date given is that of the image (negative). Where no further

date is given, this indicates that the photographic print is vintage

(the term “vintage” may also be included in the Lot Description). A

vintage photograph is one which was made within approximately

5-10 years of the negative. Where a second, later date appears,

this refers to the date of printing. Where the exact printing date is

not known, but understood to be later, “printed later” will appear in

the Lot Description.

? Unless otherwise specified, dimensions given are those of the piece

of paper on which the image is printed, including any margins.

Some photographs may appear in the Catalogue without margins

illustrated.

? All photographs are sold unframed unless stated in the Lot

Description.

21. PICTURES

Explanation of Catalogue Terms

The following terms used in the Catalogue have the following meanings

but are subject to the general provisions relating to Descriptions

contained in the Contract for Sale:

? “Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work by the artist. When the

artist’s forename(s) is not known, a series of asterisks, followed by

the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not,

indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named;

? “Attributed to Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion probably a work by

the artist but less certainty as to authorship is expressed than in the

preceding category;

? “Studio/Workshop of Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work by

an unknown hand in a studio of the artist which may or may not

have been executed under the artist’s direction;

? “Circle of Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work by a hand closely

associated with a named artist but not necessarily his pupil;

? “Follower of Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work by a painter

working in the artist’s style, contemporary or nearly contemporary,

but not necessarily his pupil;

? “Manner of Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work in the style of

the artist and of a later date;

? “After Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion, a copy of a known work of

the artist;

? “Signed and/or dated and/or inscribed”: in our opinion the signature

and/or date and/or inscription are from the hand of the artist;

? “Bears a signature and/or date and/or inscription”: in our opinion

the signature and/or date and/or inscription have been added by

another hand.

22. PORCELAIN AND GLASS

Damage and Restoration

For your guidance, in our Catalogues we attempt to detail, as far

as practicable, all significant defects, cracks and restoration. Such

practicable Descriptions of damage cannot be definitive, and in

providing Condition Reports, we cannot Guarantee that there are no

other defects present which have not been mentioned. Bidders should

satisfy themselves by inspection, as to the condition of each Lot.

Please see the Contract for Sale printed in this Catalogue. Because

of the difficulty in determining whether an item of glass has been

repolished, in our Catalogues reference is only made to visible chips

and cracks. No mention is made of repolishing, severe or otherwise.

23. VEHICLES

The Veteran Car Club of Great Britain

Dating Plates and Certificates

When mention is made of a Veteran Car Club Dating Plate or Dating

Certificate in this Catalogue, it should be borne in mind that the Veteran

Car Club of Great Britain using the services of Veteran Car Company

Ltd, does from time to time, review cars already dated and, in some

instances, where fresh evidence becomes available, the review can result

in an alteration of date. Whilst the Club and Veteran Car Company Ltd

make every effort to ensure accuracy, the date shown on the Dating

Plate or Dating Certificate cannot be guaranteed as correct and intending

purchasers should make their own enquiries as to the date of the car.

24. WINE

Lots which are lying under Bond and those liable to VAT may not be

available for immediate collection.

Examining the wines

It is occasionally possible to provide a pre-Sale tasting for larger

parcels (as defined below). This is generally limited to more recent and

everyday drinking wines. Please contact the department for details.

It is not our policy to inspect every unopened case. In the case of wines

older than 20 years the boxes will usually have been opened and levels

and appearance noted in the Catalogue where necessary. You should

make proper allowance for variations in ullage levels and conditions of

corks, capsules and labels.

Corks and Ullages

Ullage refers to the space between the base of the cork and the wine.

Ullage levels for Bordeaux shaped bottles are only normally noted

when below the neck and for Burgundy, Alsace, German and Cognac

shaped bottles when greater than 4 centimetres (cm). Acceptable

ullage levels increase with age; generally acceptable levels are as

follows:

Under 15 years old – into neck or less than 4cm

15 to 30 years old – top shoulder (ts) or up to 5cm

Over 30 years old – high shoulder (hs) or up to 6cm

It should be noted that ullages may change between publication

of the Catalogue and the Sale and that corks may fail as a result of

transporting the wine. We will only accept responsibility for Descriptions

of condition at the time of publication of the Catalogue and cannot

accept responsibility for any loss resulting from failure of corks either

before or after this point.

Options to buy parcels

A parcel is a number of Lots of identical size of the same wine, bottle

size and Description. The Buyer of any of these Lots has the option

to accept some or all of the remaining Lots in the parcel at the same

price, although such options will be at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion.

Absentee Bidders are, therefore, advised to bid on the first Lot in a

parcel.

Wines in Bond

Wines lying in Bond are marked Δ. All Lots sold under Bond, and

which the Buyer wishes to remain under Bond, will be invoiced without

VAT or Duty on the Hammer Price. If the Buyer wishes to take the Lot

as Duty paid, UK Excise Duty and VAT will be added to the Hammer

Price on the invoice.

Buyers must notify Bonhams at the time of the sale whether they wish

to take their wines under Bond or Duty paid. If a Lot is taken under

Bond, the Buyer will be responsible for all VAT, Duty, clearance and

other charges that may be payable thereon.

Buyers outside the UK must be aware that any forwarding agent

appointed to export their purchases must have a movement certificate

for Lots to be released under Bond.

SYMBOLS

THE FOLLOWING SYMBOLS ARE USED TO DENOTE

Y This lot contains one or more regulated plant or animal species

and is subject to CITES regulations. It is the buyer’s responsibility

to investigate such regulations and to obtain any necessary import

or export certificates. A buyer’s inability to obtain such certificates

cannot justify a delay in payment or cancellation of a sale.

TP Objects displayed with a TP will be located at the Cadogan

Tate warehouse and will only be available for collection from this

location.

W Objects displayed with a w will be located in the Bonhams

Warehouse and will only be available for collection from this location.

7 for details.

○ The Seller has been guaranteed a minimum price for the Lot,

either by Bonhams or a third party. This may take the form of an

irrevocable bid by a third party, who may make a financial gain on

a successful Sale or a financial loss if unsuccessful.

▲ Bonhams owns the Lot either wholly or partially or may otherwise

have an economic interest.

Ф This lot contains elephant ivory and is therefore subject to

both CITES regulations and the UK Ivory Act 2018. It has been

registered or has an exemption certificate allowing it to be offered

for sale and sold under the provisions of the Ivory Act 2018.

Property containing African elephant ivory cannot be imported

to the USA. The EU and the UK have in place wide-ranging

restrictions on dealing with property containing elephant

ivory, including restrictions on import and/or export. It is a

buyer’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licences,

certifications and any other required documentation, where

applicable. Bonhams is not able to assist buyers with the

shipment of any lots containing elephant ivory into the US, the

UK or the EU. A buyer’s inability to export or import these lots

cannot justify a delay in payment or cancellation of a sale.

APPENDIX 1

BUYERS SALE CONTRACT WITH SELLER

IMPORTANT: These terms may be changed in advance of the

Sale of the Lot to you, by the setting out of different terms

in the Catalogue for the Sale and/or by placing an insert in

the Catalogue and/or by notices at the Sale venue and/or on

Bonhams’ website, and/or by oral announcements before and

during the Sale at the Sale venue. You should be alert to this

possibility of changes and ask in advance of bidding if there

have been any.

Under this contract the Seller’s liability in respect of the quality

of the Lot, it’s fitness for any purpose and its conformity with

any Description is limited. You are strongly advised to examine

the Lot for yourself and/or obtain an independent examination

of it before you buy it.

1 THE CONTRACT

1.1 These terms and the relevant terms for Bidders and Buyers in

the Notice to Bidders govern the Contract for Sale of the Lot by

the Seller to the Buyer.

1.2 The Definitions and Glossary contained in Appendix 3 in the

Catalogue are incorporated into this Contract for Sale and a

separate copy can also be provided by Bonhams on request.

Where words and phrases are used which are in the List of

Definitions, they are printed in italics.

1.3 The Seller sells the Lot as the principal to the Contract for Sale,

such contract being made between the Seller and you through

Bonhams which acts in the sole capacity as the Seller’s agent

and not as an additional principal. However, if the Catalogue

states that Bonhams sells the Lot as principal, or such a

statement is made by an announcement by the Auctioneer,

or by a notice at the Sale, or an insert in the Catalogue, then

Bonhams is the Seller for the purposes of this agreement.

1.4 The contract is made on the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer in

respect of the Lot when it is knocked down to you.

2 SELLER’S WARRANTIES AND UNDERTAKINGS

2.1 The Seller undertakes to you that:

2.1.1 the Seller is the owner of the Lot or is duly authorised to sell the

Lot by the owner;

2.1.2 save as disclosed in the Entry for the Lot in the Catalogue, the

Seller sells the Lot with full title guarantee or, where the Seller

is an executor, trustee, liquidator, receiver or administrator, with

whatever right, title or interest he may have in the Lot;

2.1.3 except where the Sale is by an executor, trustee, liquidator,

receiver or administrator the Seller is both legally entitled to

sell the Lot, and legally capable of conferring on you quiet

respect with the terms implied by the Sale of Goods Act 1979,

Sections 12(1) and 12(2) (see the Definitions and Glossary);

2.1.4 the Seller has complied with all requirements, legal or otherwise,

relating to any export or import of the Lot, and all duties and

taxes in respect of the export or import of the Lot have (unless

stated to the contrary in the Catalogue or announced by the

Auctioneer) been paid and, so far as the Seller is aware, all third

parties have complied with such requirements in the past;

2.1.5 items consigned for sale by the Seller are not connected with or

derived from any criminal activity, including without limitation tax

evasion, money laundering, terrorist financing or breach of any

applicable international trade sanctions;

announcement or notice at the Sale venue or by the Notice to

Bidders or by an insert in the Catalogue or on the Bonhams

website, the Lot corresponds with the Contractual Description

of the Lot, being that part of the Entry about the Lot in the

Catalogue which is in bold letters and (except for colour) with

any photograph of the Lot in the Catalogue.

3 DESCRIPTIONS OF THE LOT

3.1 Paragraph 2.1.5 sets out what is the Contractual Description

of the Lot. In particular, the Lot is not sold as corresponding

with any part of the Entry in the Catalogue which is not printed

in bold letters, the remainder of which Entry merely sets out

(on the Seller’s behalf) Bonhams’ opinion about the Lot and

which is not part of the Contractual Description upon which

the Lot is sold. Any statement or representation other than that

part of the Entry referred to in paragraph 2.1.5 (together with

any express alteration to it as referred to in paragraph 2.1.5),

including any Description or Estimate, whether made orally or in

writing, including in the Catalogue or on Bonhams’ Website, or by

conduct, or otherwise, and whether by or on behalf of the Seller

or Bonhams and whether made prior to or during the Sale, is not

part of the Contractual Description upon which the Lot is sold.

3.2 Except as provided in paragraph 2.1.5, the Seller does

not make or give and does not agree to make or give any

contractual promise, undertaking, obligation, guarantee,

warranty, or representation of fact, or undertake any duty of

care, in relation to any Description of the Lot or any Estimate

in relation to it, nor of the accuracy or completeness of any

Description or Estimate which may have been Bonhams. No

such Description or Estimate is incorporated into this Contract

for Sale.

4 FITNESS FOR PURPOSE AND SATISFACTORY QUALITY

4.1 The Seller does not make and does not agree to make any

contractual promise, undertaking, obligation, guarantee,

warranty, or representation of fact in relation to the satisfactory

quality of the Lot or its fitness for any purpose.

whether implied by the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or otherwise, as

to the satisfactory quality of the Lot or its fitness for any purpose.

5 RISK, PROPERTY AND TITLE

5.1 Risk in the Lot passes to you after 7 days from the day upon

which it is knocked down to you on the fall of the Auctioneer’s

hammer in respect of the Lot, or upon collection of the Lot

if earlier. The Seller will not be responsible thereafter for the

Lot prior to you collecting it from Bonhams or the Storage

Contractor, with whom you have separate contract(s) as Buyer.

You will indemnify the Seller and keep the Seller fully indemnified

from and against all claims, proceedings, costs, expenses

and losses arising in respect of any injury, loss and damage

caused to the Lot beyond 7 days from the day of the fall of the

Auctioneer’s hammer until you obtain full title to it.

cleared funds by Bonhams, and (ii) Bonhams has completed its

investigations pursuant to clause 3.11 of the Buyer’s Agreement

with Bonhams set out in Appendix 2 in the catalogue.

knocked down to you on the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer in

respect of the Lot.

6.2 Time will be of the essence in relation to payment of the

Purchase Price and all other sums payable by you to Bonhams.

Unless agreed in writing with you by Bonhams on the Seller’s

behalf (in which case you must comply with the terms of that

agreement), all such sums must be paid to Bonhams by you in

the currency in which the Sale was conducted by not later than

4.30pm on the second working day following the Sale and you

must ensure that the funds are cleared by the seventh working

day after the Sale. Payment must be made to Bonhams by one

of the methods stated in the Notice to Bidders unless otherwise

agreed with you in writing by Bonhams. If you do not pay in full

any sums due in accordance with this paragraph, the Seller will

have the rights set out in paragraph 8 below.

7 COLLECTION OF THE LOT

7.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing with you by Bonhams,

the Lot will be released to you or to your order only when: (i)

Bonhams has received cleared funds to the amount of the

Seller and to Bonhams and (ii) Bonhams has completed its

investigations pursuant to clause 3.11 of the Buyer’s Agreement

with Bonhams set out in Appendix 2 in the catalogue.

the Lot.

from Bonhams’ custody and/ or control or from the Storage

the Lot in accordance with this paragraph 7 and will indemnify

the Seller against all charges, costs, including any legal costs

and fees, expenses and losses suffered by the Seller by reason

of your failure to remove the Lot including any charges due

under any Storage Contract. All such sums due to the Seller will

be payable on demand.

by himself and to his servants or agents to enter upon all or

any of your premises (with or without vehicles) during normal

Business hours to take possession of the Lot or part thereof;

within 28 days of receipt of such monies by him or on his behalf.

implied by the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or otherwise.

9.3 Unless the Seller sells the Lot in the course of a Business and

the Buyer buys it as a Consumer,

9.3.1 the Seller will not be liable (whether in negligence, other tort,

breach of contract or statutory duty or in restitution or under the

Misrepresentation Act 1967, or in any other way) for any lack of

conformity with, or inaccuracy, error, misdescription or omission

in any Description of the Lot or any Entry or Estimate in relation

to the Lot made by or on behalf of the Seller (whether made in

writing, including in the Catalogue, or on the Website, or orally,

or by conduct or otherwise) and whether made before or after

this agreement or prior to or during the Sale;

9.3.2 the Seller will not be liable for any loss of Business, Business profits

or revenue or income or for loss of reputation or for disruption to

irrespective of whether the said loss or damage is caused by or

claimed in respect of any negligence, other tort, breach of contract,

statutory duty, restitutionary claim or otherwise;

9.3.3 in any circumstances where the Seller is liable to you in respect

of the Lot, or any act, omission, statement, or representation

for Sale.

10.2 The Seller’s failure or delay in enforcing or exercising any power

or right under the Contract for Sale will not operate or be

deemed to operate as a waiver of his rights under it except to

the extent of any express waiver given to you in writing. Any

such waiver will not affect the Seller’s ability subsequently to

enforce any right arising under the Contract for Sale.

10.3 If either party to the Contract for Sale is prevented from

performing that party’s respective obligations under the Contract

for Sale by circumstances beyond its reasonable control or

by, or the right to enforce any term of, the Contract for Sale.

10.12 Where the Contract for Sale confers an immunity from, and/or

Bonhams, Bonhams’ holding company and the subsidiaries

of such holding company and the successors and assigns of

Bonhams and of such companies and of any officer, employee

and agent of Bonhams and such companies, each of whom

will be entitled to rely on the relevant immunity and/or exclusion

contract, and generally at law.

United Kingdom, save that the Seller may bring proceedings

against you in any other court of competent jurisdiction to

the extent permitted by the laws of the relevant jurisdiction.

APPENDIX 2

Catalogue for the Sale and/or by placing an insert in the

You should be alert to this possibility of changes and ask in

advance of bidding if there have been any.

when it is knocked down to you. At that moment a separate

contract is also made between you and Bonhams on the terms

in this Buyer’s Agreement.

personally responsible to you for any breach of contract or other

default by the Seller, unless Bonhams sells the Lot as principal.

the Catalogue or on Bonhams’ Website, or by conduct, or

otherwise), and whether made before or after this agreement or

prior to or during the Sale. No such Description or Estimate is

or cancel any sale and to take any other actions required or

permitted under applicable law, without liability to you.

4.1 Subject to any power of the Seller or us to refuse to release

the Lot to you, once you have paid to us, in cleared funds,

everything due to the Seller and to us, and once we have

completed our investigations under paragraph 3.11, we will

release the Lot to you or as you may direct us in writing. The

Lot will only be released on production of a buyer collection

document, obtained from our cashier’s office.

4.2 You must collect and remove the Lot at your own expense by

the date and time specified in the Notice to Bidders, or if no

date is specified, by 4.30pm on the seventh day after the Sale.

4.3 For the period referred to in paragraph 4.2, the Lot can be

collected from the address referred to in the Notice to Bidders

for collection on the days and times specified in the Notice to

Bidders. Thereafter, the Lot may be removed elsewhere for

storage and you must enquire from us as to when and where

you can collect it, although this information will usually be set

out in the Notice to Bidders.

4.4 If you have not collected the Lot by the date specified in the

Notice to Bidders, you authorise us, acting in this instance as

your agent and on your behalf, to enter into a contract (the

“Storage Contract”) with the Storage Contractor for the storage

of the Lot on the then current standard terms and conditions

agreed between Bonhams and the Storage Contractor (copies

of which are available on request). If the Lot is stored at our

premises storage fees at our current daily rates (currently a

minimum of ￡3 plus VAT per Lot per day) will be payable from

the expiry of the period referred to in paragraph 4.2. These

storage fees form part of our Expenses.

4.5 Until you have paid the Purchase Price and any Expenses in

full the Lot will either be held by us as agent on behalf of the

Seller or held by the Storage Contractor as agent on behalf of

the Seller and ourselves on the terms contained in the Storage

Contract.

4.6 You undertake to comply with the terms of any Storage

Contract and in particular to pay the charges (and all costs of

moving the Lot into storage) due under any Storage Contract.

You acknowledge and agree that you will not be able to collect

the Lot from the Storage Contractor’s premises until you have

paid the Purchase Price, any Expenses and all charges due

under the Storage Contract.

4.7 You will be wholly responsible for packing, handling and

transport of the Lot on collection and for complying with all

import or export regulations in connection with the Lot.

4.8 You will be wholly responsible for any removal, storage, or other

charges for any Lot not removed in accordance with paragraph

4.2, payable at our current rates, and any Expenses we incur

(including any charges due under the Storage Contract), all of

which must be paid by you on demand and in any event before

any collection of the Lot by you or on your behalf.

5 STORING THE LOT

We agree to store the Lot until the earlier of your removal of the

Lot or until the time and date set out in the Notice to Bidders,

on the Sale Information Page or at the back of the catalogue (or

if no date is specified, by 4.30pm on the seventh day after the

Sale) and, subject to paragraphs 3, 6 and 10, to be responsible

as bailee to you for damage to or the loss or destruction of the

Lot (notwithstanding that it is not your property before payment

time and date set out in the Notice to Bidders (or if no date

is specified, by 4.30pm on the seventh day after the Sale) we

may remove the Lot to another location, the details of which

will usually be set out in the relevant section of the Catalogue. If

you have not paid for the Lot in accordance with paragraph 3,

and the Lot is moved to any third party’s premises, the Lot will

be held by such third party strictly to Bonhams’ order and we

will retain our lien over the Lot until we have been paid in full in

accordance with paragraph 3.

the Purchase Price to us in full in cleared funds and (ii) when

investigations have been completed to our satisfaction under

the Lot passes to you after 7 days from the day upon which

earlier, and you are advised to obtain insurance in respect of the

Lot as soon as possible after the Sale.

at the rate specified in paragraph 7.1.5 from the date upon

which we become liable to pay the same until payment by you.

pro-rata to the Buyer’s Premium on each Lot) and thirdly to any

8 CLAIMS BY OTHER PERSONS IN RESPECT OF THE LOT

8.1 Whenever it becomes apparent to us that the Lot is the subject

of a claim by someone other than you and other than the

Seller (or that such a claim can reasonably be expected to be

made), we may, at our absolute discretion, deal with the Lot in

any manner which appears to us to recognise the legitimate

interests of ourselves and the other parties involved and lawfully

to protect our position and our legitimate interests. Without

prejudice to the generality of the discretion and by way of

example, we may:

8.1.1 retain the Lot to investigate any question raised or reasonably

expected by us to be raised in relation to the Lot; and/or

8.1.2 deliver the Lot to a person other than you; and/or

8.1.3 commence interpleader proceedings or seek any other order of

any court, mediator, arbitrator or government body; and/or

pursuing a course of action agreed to by you.

8.2.1 may be exercised at any time during which we have actual or

constructive possession of the Lot, or at any time after such

possession, where the cessation of such possession has

occurred by reason of any decision, order or ruling of any court,

mediator, arbitrator or government body; and

8.2.2 will not be exercised unless we believe that there exists a

serious prospect of a good arguable case in favour of the claim.

reflected the then accepted general opinion of scholars and

experts or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of such

acknowledged to be a leading expert in the relevant field; or

9.3.2 it can be established that the Lot is a Forgery only by means of

a process not generally accepted for use until after the date on

which the Catalogue was published or by means of a process

alleged to be suffered or sum claimed as due, and irrespective

of whether the liability arises from negligence, other tort, breach

of contract, statutory duty, bailee’s duty, a restitutionary claim

or otherwise.

responsibility for such a non-conforming Lot in accordance with

the terms of this paragraph, if:

the original invoice was made out by us to you in respect of the

Lot and that invoice has been paid; and

you notify us in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after

you have become aware that the Lot is or may be a nonconforming Lot, and in any event within 20 days after the Sale

(or such longer period as we may agree in writing) that the Lot is

a non-conforming Lot; and

within 20 days of the date of the relevant Sale (or such longer

that party’s respective obligations under this agreement

by circumstances beyond its reasonable control (including
