$15,000 - 25,000
Celebrated U.S. clockmaker Simon Willard (1753–1848) was born in Grafton, Massachusetts and was active in Grafton and Roxbury. Willard took up horology at age eleven, a hobby Simon’s eldest brother Benjamin began studying, and built his own tall clock within two years. Willard’s more adventurous inventions included the banjo clock, the first alarm clock, and a roasting jack that rotated meat as it cooked in the fireplace. Around 1780 Simon opened a shop in Boston, where his brother, Aaron, would later set up shop as well. The brothers utilized local craftsman for each components of their clocks, turning the clocks into status symbols for New England’s elite. Willard created many clocks for prominent American institutions, most notably a large gallery clock for the United States Senate, prompting a friendship between himself and Thomas Jefferson. This particular tall case clock exhibits Willard’s elegant craftsmanship. The open fretwork design is surmounted by three brass balls and spiked finials. The face has a moon phase mechanism and painted floral design. The dial is also inscribed WARRANTED FOR M. ELISHA HALL, possibly a private client of Willard.

$10,000 - 15,000
Provenance James D. Julia Auctions, Fairfield, ME, Fine Art, Asian & Antiques, 19-22 August 2014, Lot 2176. Before becoming a weathervane specialist in the early 1860s, Jewell (1821-1867) originally started his career with a metal casting and repair shop. His inventions ranged from hat trees to candy-making tools at his shop in Waltham. Jewell’s pieces were popular during a transitional period in the production of weathervanes, creating a wide variety of styles at more economical prices as well as “made to order” pieces. Jewell created seventy-eight varieties of weathervanes before tragically falling to his death, alongside his partner, off a collapsed scaffold in June of 1867. Their business was then taken over by Cushing & White, which eventually evolved into L. W. Cushing & Sons. The running horse was one of the most appealing weathervane forms; the ‘jumping through hoop’ being even more dynamic.
E questrian champion, Luann Beach (1941 – 2020) has always been a lover of horses. Riding and competing successfully in
a variety of English and Western disciplines, Beach was trained by several legendary horse champions, including Toni Sandoval in cutting, Sandy Collier in cow horse, and Clyde Kennedy in jumping and reining. Her fascination with horses did not stop at riding – she was particularly interested in the iconography of horses and how they were represented throughout history. During her life, Beach accumulated an immense collection of horse memorabilia, including several impressive oil paintings, prints and 19th century American weathervanes. Although originally created for utilitarian use, the weathervane has evolved into a of symbol of Americana collecting over the past 100 years because of their artistic style and simplistic beauty. In the first half of the 19th century, two dimensional weathervanes were commonly made by hand out of copper, iron, or zinc, and later three-dimensional examples were created with the help of machines. Most often depicting animals, the horse weathervane is probably one of the most prolific and sought-after forms. Collected over the past 20 years, Ms. Beach’s collection strongly represents the importance of the horse to 19th century American life as well as the talent of the American folk artisans.

Howard was able to cast the entire front of each piece, opposed to just the head as most companies did, crafting a more elegant and detailed form. Like many craftsman in early America, Jonathan Howard was also a farmer, the embodiment of a talented craftsman at a period when his craft alone could not sustain a means for his family.

THE PROPERTY OF AN IMPORTANT SWISS COLLECTOR
126AN IMPORTANT CHIPPENDALE CARVED CHERRY AND WALNUT BLOCK FRONT SLANT LID DESK Attributed to the workshop of John Shearer, Martinsburg, VA, early 19th century height 48in (121.9cm); width 41 1/2in (105.4cm); depth 22in (55.9cm)
$40,000 - 60,000
Provenance Sotheby’s, New York, Sale 5622, 24 October 1987, Lot 503, Christie’s, New York, January 1991, lot 366A. The Barnacle, antique gallery in Cragsmoor, New York by 1995 or 1996 (Letter to the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA)) Sotheby’s, New York, Important Americana, 20 & 21 June 1996, Lot 466, $28,750 hammer. Possibly the illusive ‘Tory Joiner of Martinsburg’, John Shearer was a Scottish cabinetmaker who immigrated to America around 1775 and was active in Martinsburg, (West) Virginia from around 1801-1817. Shearer infamously preserved his loyalist affiliations in his fifty-two remaining pieces of idiosyncratic furniture, crafting his furniture almost as a political cartoon and demonstrating early American cultural ties to Great Britain during this period. Shearer had stylistic peculiarities that distinguish his pieces, such as the vertical placements of the brass hardware, the ogee feet, and the vertical backboards. He often adopted the Federal Knot; a pierced four intertwined tear-drop loop, an allusion to the entailed and ineffective new government. The complex construction of his furniture was also purposeful for a more mysterious reason.
The most particular of Shearer’s techniques was the use of his furniture as a vessel for hidden pro-Tory propaganda. Following the American Revolution and preceding the Civil War, Americans found themselves split between Jeffersonian Republicans and Federalist. Pro-British sympathies weren’t necessarily widely acknowledged or favored in the South at this time, prompting Shearer to use symbolic inlay and hidden inscriptions to relay his ideologies and glorify Great Britain and the Royal Navy. Because of their complex construction, these areas were only visible when deconstructing his furniture -- removing the nailed back board and looking into a compartment at a very particular angle. Shearer’s patronage, largely Anglo-Americans, also illuminates how his personal political stance could have been shared with local clientele. Shearer was known to have written To a Tory or God Save the King on furniture, presumably for those more politically aligned patrons. Adversely, Shearer may have also been secretly taunting other members of his community that did not share his beliefs. In one such case, Shearer wrote inside a desk made for slave holder and trader Albert Belt, addressing him as ‘the Greatest Scoundrel in Loundoun County’. Shearer’s work is a rare example of furniture partaking in the narrative of documenting conflicts that resulted in the Civil War and the eventual independence of America. This particular desk contains a letter which discusses when the British burned Washington. Attached to the interior face of the rear tambour partition, a secret document reads: Made by me John S---- When the British ---- Capital of America. God save the King ---- amen ---- the worst and greatest vill ---- in Loudoun County Virginia By ---- e Torrys on ---- ard.. It is believed the first part of this inscription refers to the event When the British ... [burned the] ... capital of America. on August 24, 1814. An enigmatic figure in history, this desk is another mystery that makes John Shearer an even more enticing figure in Americana.

Re-popularized in the early 1700s, the costly production of globemaking served as a status symbol for the elite. Astronomer and geographer Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr (German, 1677-1750) took up globemaking to promote the Enlightenment’s new scientific ideas to Germany. In conjunction with Nuremberg engraver Johann Georg Puschner I (1680-1749), Doppelmayr created a pair of terrestrial and celestial globes in various sizes. The celestial globe includes the 48 Ptolemaic constellations, the non-Ptolemaic constellations of Coma Berenices, Antinous, Crux and Columba, the twelve southern constellations of Plancius, and all of those of Hevelius.

The original model by Lorenzo Bartolini, was initially commissioned by Leopold II Grand Duke of Tuscany for the Villa of Poggio Imperiale, Florence. However, at the time of the plaster model’s completion, the design had already achieved such recognition that it was instead placed in the Galleria Palatina in the Pitti Palace, Florence. The sculpture was recently moved to the Rijksmuseum Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands. One of the three Theological virtues, Charity is represented as a young woman in her role as an educator, caring for two children. She carries the younger, sleeping babe, while encouraging the older child to read; highlighting the importance of education in conjunction with health.

328LUIS RICARDO FALERO (SPANISH, 1851-1896)A scene from The Tempest signed and dated ‘Falero / 1889’ (lower right) oil on canvas 29 x 16in (73.8 x 40.6cm)
$4,000 - 6,000
Provenance Private collection, Montreal; Thence by descent to the present owner. Luis Ricardo Falero was born to a wealthy family in Grenada, Spain, in the mid-19th century. At a young age, Falero went against his family’s wish that he enroll in the military service, and instead sought to study arts. As his style developed, Falero became known for his representations of the female nude, particularly those of mythical origin, such as angels, nymphs, etc. In this particular work, Falero depicts a powerful scene from William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Here, the artist depicts the character of Prospero, adorned by a vibrant red robe with delicate accent, towering over a figure that lays draped in the middle of a tree, which appears to have been split apart. This scene references Prospero freeing the spirit Ariel from the tree she was imprisoned in by the witch Sycorax, who previously inhabited the island. Given his known preference for the female form, the artist has cast the character of Ariel as female, while other painters have interpreted it as either sex. The vivid and lush yellows and greens in the forest background provide a wonderful contrast to the dark wood of the tree trunk. Additionally, Ariel’s delicate skin and garment appear to emanate a warm glow, adding to the magical element of the work.

$2,000 - 3,000
Robert Frederick Blum made numerous trips abroad, returning to Italy often and he lived there from June 1885 to November 1886. When Blum executed Italian Market Scene in 1888, he had already spent a great deal of time studying the unvarnished everyday life of the people of Italy and creating picturesque images of women engaged in local crafts and chores of the Veneto region. Furthermore, he continued to spend his time exploring and mastering the use of pastel. In the present work, Blum immerses the viewer into an Italian city market scene by giving the perspective of standing behind the young woman featured prominently to the far right wrapped in a dark red shawl. The market unfolds ahead of her and the viewer can see a man presenting his best offerings. Throughout the market, more boisterous women
browse the stands and the viewer can imagine that they will likely bring their finds for the day back home to prepare for their families or the households they work for. Everyday urban life and the women that traverse through it would remain a subject that Blum would continue to revisit throughout his career. Italian Market Scene stands prominently in Blum’s oeuvre as one of the artist’s most accomplished works on the subject of Italy alongside his prized painting Venetian Lacemakers (Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati, Ohio) completed in 1887 that won him the 1889 Bronze Medal at the Exposition Universelle in Paris.

An earlier member of the Birbeck family also named Joseph painted at the Coalport factory at the beginning of the 19th century. Birbeck began his career with Brown, Westhead, Moore & Co. leaving in 1900 to join Doulton where he remained until about 1926. Birbeck painted many fine sets of dessert and service plates for the North American market. His subject matter ranged from flowers, Alpine and Highland scenery to landscapes after Turner. Birbeck was noted for his studies of birds and fish and was particularly admired for his underwater aquatic effects and misty landscapes with beautiful atmospheric skies.

The following Conditions of Sale, as amended by any published or posted notices or verbal announcements during the sale, constitute the entire terms and conditions on which property listed in the catalog shall be offered for sale or sold by Bonhams & Butterfields Auctioneers Corp. and any consignor of such property for whom Bonhams acts as agent. By participating in this sale, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.
If live online bidding is available for the subject auction, additional terms and conditions of sale relating to online bidding will apply; see www.bonhams.com/WebTerms for the supplemental terms. As used herein, “Bonhams,” “we” and “us” refer to Bonhams & Butterfields Auctioneers Corp.
1. As used herein, the term “bid price” means the price at which a lot is successfully knocked down to the buyer. The term “purchase price” means the aggregate of (a) the bid price, (b) a PREMIUM retained by us and payable by the buyer (the “buyer’s premium”), EQUAL TO 27.5% OF THE FIRST $12,500 OF THE BID PRICE, PLUS 25% OF THE AMOUNT OF THE BID PRICE ABOVE $12,500 UP TO AND INCLUDING $600,000, PLUS 20% OF THE AMOUNT OF THE BID PRICE ABOVE $600,000 UP TO AND INCLUDING $6,000,000, PLUS 14.5% OF THE AMOUNT OF THE BID PRICE ABOVE $6,000,000, and (c) unless the buyer is exempt by law from the payment thereof, any Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Washington state, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming or other state or local sales tax (or compensating use tax) and other applicable taxes. With regard to New York sales tax, please refer to the “Sales and Use Tax” section of these Conditions of Sale.
2. In order to bid at the sale, prospective bidders must submit to Bonhams a completed bidder registration form (appearing at the end of this catalog) and any other requested information or references. New bidders and bidders who have not recently updated their registration information must pre-register to bid at least two business days before the sale. Individuals will be required to provide government-issued proof of identity and proof of address. Entity clients will be required to provide documentation including confirmation of entity registration showing the registered name, confirmation of registered address, documentary proof of officers and beneficial owners, proof of authority to transact on behalf of the entity and government-issued proof of identity for the individual who is transacting on the entity’s behalf.
We may also request a financial reference and /or deposit from bidders before approving the bidder registration. In the event a deposit is submitted and you are not the successful bidder, your deposit will be returned to you. If you are the successful bidder, any such deposit will be credited to offset the appropriate portion of the purchase price.
We reserve the right to request further information, including regarding the source of funds, in order to complete bidder identification and registration procedures (including completing any anti-money laundering and/or anti-terrorism financing checks we may require) to our satisfaction. If our bidder identification and registration procedures are not satisfied, we may, in our sole discretion, decline to register any bidder or reject any bid or cancel any sale to such bidder.
Every bidder shall be deemed to act as a principal unless prior to the commencement of the sale there is a written acceptance by Bonhams of a bidder registration form completed and signed by the principal which clearly states that the authorized bidding agent is acting on behalf of the named principal. Absent such written acceptance by Bonhams, any person placing a bid as agent on behalf of another (whether or not such person has disclosed that fact or the identity of the principal) may be jointly and severally
liable with the principal under any contract resulting from the acceptance of a bid. Every bidder shall be responsible for any use of its assigned paddle or bidding account, regardless of the circumstances.
3. You represent and warrant that: (i) you have provided us with true and correct copies of valid identification and proof of residence and, if applicable, financial and/or corporate documents; (ii) neither you, your principal (if applicable, and subject to Bonhams’ prior written acceptance pursuant to paragraph 2 above), nor any individual or entity with a beneficial or ownership interest in either or in the purchase transaction is on the Specially Designated Nationals List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury nor subject to any other sanctions or embargo program or regulation in effect in the United States, European Union, England and Wales, or other applicable jurisdictions; (iii) if you are acting as an agent for a principal, you have conducted appropriate due diligence into such principal, and agree that Bonhams shall be entitled to rely upon such due diligence, you will retain adequate records evidencing such due diligence for a period of five (5) years following the consummation of the sale, and will make these records available for inspection upon Bonhams’ request; (vi) neither the purchase transaction (including your bidding activity) nor the purchase funds are connected with nor derive from any criminal activity, and they are not designed to nor have they or shall they, violate the banking, anti-money laundering, or currency transfer laws or other regulations (including without limitation, import-export laws) of any country or jurisdiction, or further any other unlawful purpose, including without limitation collusion, anti-competitive activity, tax evasion or tax fraud.
You acknowledge and agree that we may rely upon the accuracy and completeness of the foregoing warranties.
4. On the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, the highest bidder shall have purchased the offered lot in accordance and subject to compliance with all of the conditions set forth herein and (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefor, (b) if requested will sign a confirmation of purchase, and (c) will pay the purchase price in full or such part as we may require for all lots purchased. No lot may be transferred.
Unless otherwise agreed, payment in good, cleared funds is due and payable within five (5) business days following the auction sale. Whenever the buyer pays only a part of the total purchase price for one or more lots purchased, we may apply such payments, in our sole discretion, to the lot or lots we choose. Payment will not be deemed made in full until we have received good, cleared funds for all amounts due. Title in any purchased property will not pass until full and final payment has been received by Bonhams. Accounts must be settled in full before property is released to the buyer. In the event property is released earlier, such release will not affect the passing of title or the buyer’s obligation to timely remit full payment.
We reserve the right to refuse to accept payment from a source other than the registered bidder or buyer of record. Once an invoice is issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice.
Payment for purchases must be made in the currency in which the sale is conducted. Bonhams’ preferred payment method is by wire transfer. For final purchases exceeding US $25,000.00, all payments must be in the form of wire transfer unless other arrangements have been approved in advance. For final purchases below US $25,000.00, payment may also be made in or by the following methods: (i) Cash. Please note that the amount of cash that can be accepted from a given purchaser is limited to US $5,000 per auction sale (whether by single or multiple related payments). If the amount payable exceeds that sum, the balance must be paid by another method. (ii) Cashier’s check, money order, or personal check with approved credit drawn on a U.S. bank. A processing fee will be assessed on any returned checks. (iii) Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover debit
or credit card issued in the name of the purchaser or record. Only one debit or credit card may be used for payment of an account balance. This method of payment may not be available to first time purchasers.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the buyer grants us a security interest in the property, and we may retain as collateral security for the buyer’s obligations to us, any property and all monies held or received by us for the account of the buyer, in our possession. We also retain all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (which shall mean the New York Uniform Commercial Code, except where the Uniform Commercial Code of another state governs the perfection of a security interest in collateral located in that state), and you agree that we may file financing statements without your signature. If the foregoing conditions or any other applicable conditions herein are not complied with, in addition to all other remedies available to us and the consignor by law, we may at our election: (a) hold the buyer liable for the full purchase price and any late charges, collection costs, attorneys’ fees and costs, expenses and incidental damages incurred by us or the consignor arising out of the buyer’s breach; (b) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the buyer; and/or (c) cancel the sale and/or resell the purchased property, at public auction and/or by private sale, and in such event the buyer shall be liable for the payment of all consequential damages, including any deficiencies or monetary losses, and all costs and expenses of such sale or sales, our commissions at our standard rates, all other charges due hereunder, all late charges, collection costs, attorneys’ fees and costs, expenses and incidental damages. In addition, where two or more amounts are owed in respect of different transactions by the buyer to us, to Bonhams 1793 Limited and/or to any of our other affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide within the Bonhams Group, we reserve the right to apply any monies paid in respect of a transaction to discharge any amount owed by the buyer. If all fees, commissions, premiums, bid prices and other sums due to us from the buyer are not paid promptly as provided in these Conditions of Sale, we reserve the right to impose a finance charge equal to 1.5% per month (or, if lower, the maximum nonusurious rate of interest permitted by applicable law), on all amounts due to us beginning on the 31st day following the sale until payment is received, in addition to other remedies available to us by law.
5. We reserve the right to withdraw any property and to divide and combine lots at any time before such property’s auction. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalog and no lots shall be divided or combined for sale.
6. We reserve the right to reject a bid from any bidder, to split any bidding increment, and to advance the bidding in any manner the auctioneer may decide. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event the auctioneer doubts the validity of any bid, the auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder, re-open the bidding, or to cancel the sale and re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sales records shall be conclusive in all respects.
We further reserve the right to cancel the sale of any property if (i) you are in breach of your representations and warranties as set forth in paragraph 3 above; (ii) we, in our sole discretion, determine that such transaction might be unlawful or might subject Bonhams or the consignor to any liability to any third party; or (iii) there are any other grounds for cancellation under these Conditions of Sale.
7. If we are prevented by fire, theft or any other reason whatsoever from delivering any property to the buyer or a sale otherwise cannot be completed, our liability shall be limited to the sum actually paid therefor by the buyer and shall in no event include any compensatory, incidental or consequential damages.

If a lot is offered subject to a reserve, we may implement such reserve by bidding on behalf of the consignor, whether by opening bidding or continuing bidding in response to other bidders until reaching the reserve. If we have an interest in an offered lot and the proceeds therefrom other than our commissions, we may bid up to the reserve to protect such interest. If the auctioneer determines that any opening or subsequent bid is below the reserve for a lot, (s)he may reject such opening bid and withdraw the item from sale.

SALES AND USE TAX
New York sales tax is charged on the hammer price, buyer’s premium and any other applicable charges on any property collected or delivered in New York State, regardless of the state or country in which the buyer resides or does business. Buyers who make direct arrangements for collection by a shipper who is considered a “private” or “contract” carrier by the New York Department of Taxation and Finance will be charged New York sales tax, regardless of the destination of the property. Property collected for delivery to a destination outside of New York by a shipper who is considered a “common carrier” by the New York Department of Taxation and Finance (e.g. United States Postal Service, United Parcel Service, and FedEx) is not subject to New York sales tax, but if it is delivered into any state in which Bonhams is registered or otherwise conducts business sufficient to establish a nexus, Bonhams may be required by law to collect and remit the appropriate sales tax in effect in such state. Property collected for delivery outside of the United States by a freight-forwarder who is registered with the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) is not subject to New York sales tax.
MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION PROCEDURES

The mediator shall be a retired judge or an attorney familiar with commercial law and trained in or qualified by experience in handling mediations. Any communications made during the mediation process shall not be admissible in any subsequent mediation, arbitration or judicial proceeding.

Such arbitrator shall make all appropriate disclosures required by law. The arbitrator shall be drawn from a panel of a national or international arbitration service agreed to by the parties,
and shall be selected as follows: (i) If the arbitration service has specific rules or procedures, those rules or procedures shall be followed; (ii) If the arbitration service does not have rules or procedures for the selection of an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be an individual jointly agreed to by the parties.

(“JAMS”) or another national or international alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) provider of Bonhams’ choice, and the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or the rules of the other ADR provider selected by Bonhams.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except as required by applicable arbitration rules, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with the proceedings and shall share equally the fees and expenses of the arbitration.
LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION
If within one (1) year from the date of sale, the original buyer (a) gives written notice to us alleging that the identification of Authorship (as defined below) of such lot as set forth in the UPPERCASE TYPE heading of the catalog description of such lot (as amended by any saleroom notices or verbal announcements during the sale) is not substantially correct based on a fair reading of the catalog (including the terms of any glossary contained therein), and (b) within 10 days after such notice returns the lot to us in the same condition as at the time of sale, and (c) establishes the allegation in the notice to our satisfaction (including by providing one or more written opinions by recognized experts in the field, as we may reasonably require), then the sale of such lot will be rescinded and, unless we have already paid to the consignor monies owed him in connection with the sale, the original purchase price will be refunded.
If, prior to receiving such notice from the original buyer alleging such defect, we have paid the consignor monies owed him in connection with the sale, we shall pay the original buyer the amount of our commissions, any other sale proceeds to which we are entitled and applicable taxes received from the buyer on the sale and make demand on the consignor to pay the balance of the original purchase price to the original buyer.

PROFESSIONAL APPRAISAL SERVICES
Bonhams’ specialists conduct insurance and fair market value appraisals for private collectors, corporations, museums, fiduciaries and government entities on a daily basis.

When we conduct a private appraisal, our specialists will prepare a thorough inventory listing of all your appraised property by category. Valuations, complete descriptions and locations of items are included in the documentation.
Appraisal fees vary according to the nature of the collection, the amount of work involved, the travel distance, and whether the property is subsequently consigned for auction.

the consignor and assign to the original buyer our rights against the consignor with respect to the lot the sale of which is sought to be rescinded. Upon such disclosure and assignment, any liability of Bonhams as consignor’s agent with respect to said lot shall automatically terminate.
The foregoing limited right of rescission is available to the original buyer only and may not be assigned to or relied upon by any subsequent transferee of the property sold. The buyer hereby accepts the benefit of the consignor’s warranty of title and other representations and warranties made by the consignor for the buyer’s benefit. Nothing in this section shall be construed as an admission by us of any representation of fact, express or implied, obligation or responsibility with respect to any lot. THE BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BONHAMS FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER IS THE LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION.
“Authorship” means only the identity of the creator, the period, culture and source or origin of the lot, as the case may be, as set forth in the UPPERCASE TYPE heading of the print catalog entry. The right of rescission does not extend to: (a) works of art executed before 1870 (unless these works are determined to be counterfeits created since 1870), as this is a matter of current scholarly opinion which can change; (b) titles, descriptions, or other identification of offered lots, which information normally appears in lower case type below the UPPERCASE TYPE heading identifying the Authorship; (c) Authorship of any lot where it was specifically mentioned that there exists a conflict of specialist or scholarly opinion regarding the Authorship of the lot at the time of sale; (d) Authorship of any lot which as of the date of sale was in accordance with the then generally-accepted opinion of scholars and specialists regarding the same; or (e) the identification of periods or dates of creation in catalog descriptions which may be proven inaccurate by means of scientific processes that are not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalog in which the property is offered or that were unreasonably expensive or impractical to use at the time of such publication.

Buyer’s guideBUYING AND BIDDING AT AUCTION
Whether you are an experienced bidder or an enthusiastic novice, auctions provide a stimulating atmosphere unlike any other. Bonhams previews and sales are free and open to the public. As you will find in these directions, bidding and buying at auction is easy and exciting. Should you have any further questions, please visit our website at www.bonhams.com or call our Client Services Department at +1 (212) 644 9001.
Catalogs Before each auction we publish illustrated catalogs. Our catalogs provide descriptions and estimated values for each “lot.” A lot may refer to a single item or to a group of items auctioned together. The catalogs also include the dates and the times for the previews and auctions. We offer our catalogs by subscription or by single copy. For information on subscribing to our catalogs, you may refer to the subscription form in this catalog, call our Client Services Department, or visit our website at www.bonhams.com/us.
Previews Auction previews are your chance to inspect each lot prior to the auction. We encourage you to look closely and examine each object on which you may want to bid so that you will know as much as possible about it. Except as expressly set forth in the Conditions of Sale, items are sold “as is” and with all faults; illustrations in our catalogs, website and other materials are provided for identification only. At the previews, our staff is always available to answer your questions and guide you through the auction process. Condition reports may be available upon request.
Estimates Bonhams catalogs include low and high value estimates for each lot, exclusive of the buyer’s premium and tax. The estimates are provided as an approximate guide to current market value based primarily on previous auction results for comparable pieces, and should not be interpreted as a representation or prediction of actual selling prices. They are determined well in advance of a sale and are subject to revision. Please contact us should you have any questions about value estimates.
Reserve All lots in a catalog are subject to a reserve unless otherwise indicated. The reserve is the minimum price that the seller is willing to accept for a lot. This amount is confidential and does not exceed the low estimated value.
Auction House’s Interest in Property Offered at Auction On occasion, Bonhams may offer property in which it has an ownership interest in whole or in part or otherwise has an economic interest. Such property, if any, is identified in the catalog with a ▲ symbol next to the lot number(s). Bonhams may also offer property for a consignor that has been guaranteed a minimum price for its property by Bonhams or jointly by Bonhams and a third party. Bonhams and any third parties providing a guarantee may benefit financially if the guaranteed property is sold successfully and may incur a financial loss if its sale is not successful. Such property, if any, is identified in the catalog with a symbol next to the lot number(s).
Bidding at Auction At Bonhams, you can bid in many ways: in person, via absentee bid, over the phone, or via Bonhams’ live online bidding facility. Absentee bids can be submitted in person, online, or via email. Irrespective of previous bidding activity a valid Bonhams client account is required to participate in bidding activity. 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. By bidding at auction, whether in person or by agent, by absentee bid, telephone, online or other means, the buyer or bidder agrees to be bound by the Conditions of Sale. Lots are auctioned in consecutive numerical order as they appear in the catalog. Bidding normally begins below the low estimate. The auctioneer will accept bids from interested parties present in the saleroom, from telephone bidders, and from absentee bidders who have left written bids in advance of the sale. The auctioneer may also execute bids on behalf of the consignor up to the amount of the reserve, but never above it. We assume no responsibility for failure to execute bids for any reason whatsoever.
In Person If you are planning to bid at auction for the first time, you will need to register at the reception desk in order to receive a numbered bid card. To place a bid, hold up your card so that the auctioneer can clearly see it. Decide on the maximum auction price that you wish to pay, exclusive of buyer’s premium and tax, and continue bidding until your bid prevails or you reach your limit. If you are the successful bidder on a lot, the auctioneer will acknowledge your paddle number and bid amount.
Absentee Bids As a service to those wishing to place bids, we may at our discretion accept bids without charge in advance of auction online or in writing on bidding forms available from us. “Buy” bids will not be accepted; all bids must state the highest bid price the bidder is willing to pay. Our auction staff will try to bid just as you would, with the goal of obtaining the item at the lowest bid price possible. In the event identical bids are submitted, the earliest bid submitted will take precedence. Absentee bids shall be executed in competition with other absentee bids, any applicable reserve, and bids from other auction participants. A friend or agent may place bids on your behalf, provided that we have received your written authorization prior to the sale. Absentee bid forms are available in our catalogs, online at www.bonhams.com/us, at offsite auction locations and at our Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York galleries.
By Telephone We can arrange for you to bid by telephone. To arrange for a telephone bid, please contact our Client Services Department a minimum of 24 hours prior to the sale.
Online We offer live online bidding for most auctions and accept absentee bids online for all our auctions. Please visit www.bonhams.com/us for details.
