DESCRIPTIONS

not published in the catalogue.
The reserve will never exceed the low estimate.

CONDITION REPORTS are available on request. These supplement the
catalogue description and provide guidance on a
lot’s condition.
VIEW THE LOT PERSONALLY

saleroom and looking at a lot for yourself,
especially in the case of more valuable items.
SYMBOLS

Mark WilkinsonHead of Interiors
LOTS OF IRANIAN /PERSIAN ORIGINBidders are kindly reminded that some countries (such as the USA and Canada) prohibit
or restrict the purchase and import of Iranian origin “works of conventional craftsmanship”
(works that are not by a recognized artist and/or that have a function, for example: bowls, tiles,
ornamental boxes and carpets).
“Informational materials”(such as paintings, drawings and pastels, executed entirely by hand,
collages and similar decorative plaques, framed or not framed; original engravings, prints and
lithographs, printed books, newspapers and manuscripts) are not subject to the restrictions.
All bidders are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the laws that apply to them and
ensuring that they do not bid on or import property in contravention of relevant sanctions or
trade embargoes.
LOTS CONTAINING IVORYThe USA has recently changed its policy on the import of property containing elephant ivory.
Only Asian Elephant ivory may be imported into the USA, and imports must be accompanied
by DNA analysis and confrmation the object is more than 100 years old. We cannot indicate
whether the elephant ivory in a particular lot is African or Asian elephant. Buyers purchase these
lots at their own risk and will be responsible for the costs of obtaining any DNA analysis or other
report required in connection with their proposed import into the USA. A buyer’s inability to
export or import a lot is not a basis for cancelling their purchase.

24 FEBRUARY 2014 · AN URBAN LEGEND
‘I have always been interested in Myths and Folk Stories
for as long as I can remember. For a child they offer a
means of making sense of the world. They represent
a series of lessons that work on both a practical and a
psychological level. They are fundamental to humanity
and have always been with us and we ignore them at
our peril. Quite often over the years, I have tried to find
a place where I could learn more about Britain's rich folk
heritage only to discover that we don't actually have any
such institution. This is strange really when we produce
so much of it. Over the past fifteen years I've become
increasingly involved with the customs themselves, not
only going to witness them but also taking part when
invited to do so. They represent a moment out of time,
where the norms of existence are bent or forgotten.
While we are rooted in the here and now, they help to put
us in touch with our past and help to build community
spirit, foster an interest in where we have come from
and the things that are important to us. It was with
this in mind that I decided to look into opening the UK's
first ever Museum dedicated solely to researching and
celebrating our native customs and traditions.’
‘Folklore can be seen as being a body of expressive
culture, traditional art, literature, knowledge, and
practice that is disseminated largely through oral
communication and behavioural example. It comes
under the heading 'intangible heritage' due to its nature
and having been deemed to be 'low culture' for so long.
Many unlikely things could be thought of as folklore or
folk culture, such as urban legends, children's rhymes,
conspiracy theories, UFO abduction reports, graffiti and
roadside memorial tributes for example. It is a hard
thing to pin down and no one description will suffice.
Most often people might think of folklore as something
that is simply 'old', 'rural' or 'dying out'. In fact folklore,
while it connects people with their past, is also being
created on a daily basis and is a great cultural signifier. It
is vital our native heritage is researched and maintained
for future generations. I see the museum as filling
a yawning gap within the cultural landscape of this
country, and as a means for people from all walks of life
to gain knowledge, and a deeper understanding, of our
unique folk culture.
Folk culture runs through our lives in ways people don't
always recognise, from street slang to urban myths.
We construct ritual and give it meaning everyday in
response to fundamental human desires. We have
constructed wayside shrines ever since the first traveller
was killed on a road and we still do it when a bicycle is
painted white and chained to the railings close to where
a cyclist was killed. The Museum of British Folklore will
reflect what it means to be human in the 21st century
and will draw on the customs and traditions of the
UK to show the world the things we hold dear and
how they resonate in the wider community and the
commonality we all have as human beings.’
The Museum of British Folklore is currently looking for
land to build on and the funds to build with. To find out
more visit www.museumofbritishfolklore.com.

AT HOME
WITH
SIMON COSTIN
Describe your home in three words?
Eclectic, personal, magical.
How do you choose pieces for your home?
I’ve always felt that the objects I have in my home found
me, rather than the other way around. It is very much a
natural accumulation as I tend to be drawn towards things
with a certain forlorn sensibility. I keep on adding and
moving things around in order to set up new dialogues
between objects and the context I put them into.
Where do you discover them?
I am often to be found in flea markets in London, Paris
and New York. In the UK I also go to Kempton Antique
Market and Ardingly Antique Market. Wherever I visit I
can usually sniff out the local junk and bric-a-brac shops.
What’s your advice to the novice collector?
Be ruled by the heart, not the head.
If you could see one era revived in 2015, what would it be?
The Decadent Movement or Vienna Secession.
Whose style most inspires you?
Gabriele D'Annunzio and his house in Italy.
What is your favourite building in London?
Dennis Severs House in Spitalfields.
Which room do you spend most time in?
I work from home so tend to be either in the studio, at
the top of the house, where it is very light and quiet or in
the kitchen if I’m writing as its closer to the kettle.
In another life I’d be a… Shaman.
If I could live anywhere else in the world I’d live in…
Italy, probably close to the Garda Lakes.
If I could own something I’ll never have the chance to it
would be… The Kunstkammer of Rudolf II.
Why don’t more people… Read more and learn to
tolerate each other if they can’t find it in themselves
to love.
The last great book I read was… The Goldfinch by
Donna Tartt.
My most recent wonderful discovery was…
Snowshill Manor in Worcestershire.
If I could share a nightcap with anyone it would be…
Angela Carter.
If I could breakfast with anyone it would be…
Alone, I’m terrible in the mornings!
On my coffee table is… A pile of films to be watched.
By my nightstand is… The Great God Pan by
Arthur Machen.
Great style is… Knowing what you like and not being
afraid to live with it.
Home is where… Friends and loved ones meet.

A GUIDE TO
CHRISTIE’S CATALOGUING PRACTICE
Some of the terms we use in catalogue descriptions
might be unfamiliar to you. We’ve outlined below
these expressions and their explanations.
Style…
In conjunction with a monarch. Eg. ‘George III style…’
In our opinion the piece is a later work (of any date) and
not of the period.
Recent manufacture…
In our opinion the piece is less than ten years old.

• No reserveIn these cases the lot is sold without reserve.
~ Property incorporating materials from endangered and other protected speciesPlease see “Property Incorporating Protected Species” for further information.λ Artist’s Resale Right (‘Droit de Suite’) In these cases the lot is subject to Artist’s Resale Right. The buyer agrees to pay to Christie’s an amount equal to the resale royalty. Resale royalty applies where the Hammer Price is 1,000 Euro or more and the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euro per lot. The amount is calculated as follows:Royalty For the portion of the Hammer Price (in Euro)4.00% up to 50,0003.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,0001.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,0000.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,0000.25% in excess of 500,000
Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/Euro rate of exchange will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale.
∆ Christie’s InterestFrom time to time, Christie’s may offer a lot which it owns in whole or in part. Such property is identified in the catalogue with the symbol ∆ next to its lot number. On occasion, Christie’s has a direct financial interest in lots consigned for sale which may include guaranteeing a minimum price or making an advance to the consignor that is secured solely by consigned property. Such property is identified in the catalogue by the symbol º next to the lot number. This symbol will be used both in cases where Christie’s holds the financial interest on its own, and in cases where Christie’s has financed all or a part of such interest through a third party. Such third parties generally benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful. Where Christie’s has an ownership or financial interest in every lot in the catalogue, Christie’s will not designate each lot with a symbol, but will state its interest at the front of the catalogue.

LOTS OF IRANIAN/PERSIAN ORIGIN
Bidders are kindly reminded that some countries (such as the USA and Canada) prohibit or restrict the purchase and import of Iranian origin “works of conventional craftsmanship” (works that are not by a recognized artist and/or that have a function, for example: bowls, tiles, ornamental boxes and carpets).
“Informational materials” (such as paintings, drawings and pastels, executed entirely by hand, collages and similar decorative plaques, framed or not framed; original engravings, prints and lithographs, printed books, newspapers and manuscripts) are not subject to the restrictions.
All bidders are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the laws that apply to them and ensuring that they do not bid on or import property in contravention of relevant sanctions or trade embargoes.
If Christie’s cancels a sale due to any sanction or trade embargoes, the successful bidder will be accountable for any shortfall between the total amount originally due to us and the proceeds from a resale of the property.
PROPERTY INCORPORATING PROTECTED SPECIES
Property made of or incorporating (irrespective of percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife are marked with the symbol ~ in the catalogue. Such material includes, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whale bone and certain species of coral, together with Brazilian rosewood. Prospective purchasers are advised that several countries prohibit altogether the importation of property containing such materials, and that other countries require a permit (e.g., a CITES permit) from the relevant regulatory agencies in the countries of exportation as well as importation. Accordingly, clients should familiarise themselves with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on any property with wildlife material if they intend to import the property into another country. Please note that it is the client’s responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations applying to the export or import of property containing endangered and other protected wildlife material. The inability of a client to export or import property containing endangered and other protected wildlife material is not a basis for cancellation or rescission of the sale. Please note also that lots containing potentially regulated wildlife material are marked as a convenience to our clients, but Christie’s does not accept liability for errors or for failing to mark lots containing protected or regulated species.
Recent changes to imports of elephant ivory and other wildlife material into the USA
The USA has recently changed its policy on the import of property made of or containing elephant ivory. Only Asian Elephant ivory may be imported into the USA, and imports must be accompanied by DNA analysis and confrmation the object is more than 100 years old. We have not obtained a DNA analysis on any lot prior to sale and cannot indicate whether the elephant ivory in a particular lot is African or Asian elephant. Buyers purchase these lots at their own risk and will be responsible for the costs of obtaining any DNA analysis or other report required in connection with their proposed import of such property into the USA.
The USA is also currently requiring all imports of property made of or containing wildlife material to be accompanied by a scientifc confrmation of species and in some cases an additional confrmation of age. We have not obtained such confrmations prior to sale (unless specifcally indicated) and buyers will be responsible for the costs of any such additional confrmations or opinions required for their proposed import into the USA.
A buyer’s inability to export or import any lot containing elephant ivory or other wildlife material is not a basis for cancelling the purchase.

2
CATALOGUE DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONLots are sold as described and otherwise in the
condition they are in at the time of the sale,
on the following basis.
a Condition
The nature of the lots sold in our auctions is such that
they will rarely be in perfect condition, and are likely,
due to their nature and age, to show signs of wear
and tear, damage, other imperfections, restoration or
repair. Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry
will not amount to a full description of condition.
Condition reports are usually available on request,
and will supplement the catalogue description. In
describing lots, our staff assess the condition in a
manner appropriate to the estimated value of the item
and the nature of the auction in which it is included.
Any statement as to the physical nature or condition
of a lot, in a catalogue, condition report or otherwise,
is given honestly and with appropriate care. However,
Christie’s staff are not professional restorers or trained
conservators and accordingly any such statement will
not be exhaustive. We therefore recommend that you
always view property personally, and, particularly in
the case of any items of significant value, that you
instruct your own restorer or other professional adviser
to report to you in advance of bidding.
b Cataloguing Practice
Our cataloguing practice is explained in the All You
Need to Know section of the catalogue, which appears
after the catalogue entries.
c Attribution etc
Any statements made by Christie’s about any lot,
whether orally or in writing, concerning attribution
to, for example, an artist, school, or country of origin,
or history or provenance, or any date or period, are
expressions of our opinion or belief. Our opinions and
beliefs have been formed honestly and in accordance
with the standard of care reasonably to be expected
of an auction house of Christie’s standing, due regard
having been had to the estimated value of the item
and the nature of the auction in which it is included.
It must be clearly understood, however, that, due to
the nature of the auction process, we are unable to
carry out exhaustive research of the kind undertaken
by professional historians and scholars, and also that, as
research develops and scholarship and expertise evolve,
opinions on these matters may change. We therefore
recommend that, particularly in the case of any item of
significant value, you seek advice on such matters from
your own professional advisers.
d Estimates
Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as
a statement that this is the price at which the item will
sell or its value for any other purpose.
e Fitness for Purpose
Lots sold are enormously varied in terms of age, category
and condition, and may be purchased for a variety of
purposes. Unless otherwise specifically agreed, no promise
is made that a lot is fit for any particular purpose.
3
AT THE SALE
a Refusal of admissionChristie’s has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.
b Registration before biddingProspective buyers who wish to bid in the saleroom can register online in advance of the sale, or can come to the saleroom on the day of the sale approximately 30 minutes before the start of the sale to register in person. Prospective buyers must complete and sign a registration form with his or her name and permanent address, and provide identification before bidding. We may require the production of bank details from which payment will be made or other financial references.
c Bidding as principalWhen making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Christie’s before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Christie’s, and that Christie’s will only look to the principal for payment.
d Absentee bidsWe will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids delivered to us prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in the currency of the place of the sale. Please refer to the catalogue for the Absentee Bids Form. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and at the auction these are the highest bids on the lot, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and provided that we have exercised reasonable care in the handling of written bids, the volume of goods is such that we cannot accept liability in any individual instance for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with it arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
e Telephone bidsIf a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone but we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
f Currency converterAt some auctions a currency converter may be operated. Errors may occur in the operation of the currency converter. Where these arise from circumstances beyond our reasonable control we do not accept liability to bidders who follow the currency converter rather than the actual bidding in the saleroom.
g Video or digital imagesAt some auctions there may be a video or digital screen. Errors may occur in its operation and in the quality of the image. We do not accept liability for such errors where they arise for reasons beyond our reasonable control.
h ReservesUnless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. If any lots are not subject to a reserve, they will be identified with the symbol • next to the lot number. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders.
i Auctioneer’s discretion
The auctioneer has the right to exercise reasonable
discretion in refusing any bid, advancing the bidding
in such a manner as he may decide, withdrawing or
dividing any lot, combining any two or more lots and,
in the case of error or dispute, and whether during
or after the sale, determining the successful bidder,
continuing the bidding, cancelling the sale or reoffering
and reselling the item in dispute. If any dispute arises
after the sale, then, in the absence of any evidence
to the contrary the sale record maintained by the
auctioneer will be conclusive.
j Successful bid and passing of risk
Subject to the auctioneer’s reasonable discretion, the
highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be
the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the
acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a
contract for sale between the seller and the buyer. Risk
and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass
where relevant) passes to the buyer at the expiration
of seven calendar days from the date of the sale or on
collection by the buyer if earlier.
4
AFTER THE SALE
a Buyer’s premium
In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees
to pay to us the buyer’s premium together with any
applicable value added tax. The buyer’s premium is
25% of the first £50,000 of the hammer price on each
lot plus 20% of the excess of the hammer price above
£50,000 up to and including £1,000,000 plus 12% of
any amount in excess of £1,000,000.
b Artist’s Resale Right (“Droit de Suite”)
If the Artist’s Resale Right Regulations 2006 apply to
the lot the buyer also agrees to pay to us an amount
equal to the resale royalty provided for in those
Regulations. Lots affected are identified with the
symbol λ next to the lot number.
c Payment and ownership
The buyer must pay the full amount due (comprising the
hammer price, buyer’s premium and any applicable taxes)
immediately after the sale. This applies even if the buyer
wishes to export the lot and an export licence is, or may
be, required. The buyer will not acquire title to the lot
until all amounts due to us from the buyer have been
received by us in good cleared funds even in circumstances
where we have released the lot to the buyer.
d Collection of purchases
We shall be entitled to retain items sold until all
amounts due to us, or to Christie’s International
plc, or to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent
companies worldwide, have been received in full in
good cleared funds or until the buyer has performed
any other outstanding obligations as we, in our sole
discretion, shall require, including, for the avoidance
of doubt, completing any anti-money laundering or
anti-terrorism financing checks we may require to our
satisfaction. In the event a buyer fails to complete any
anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing
checks to our satisfaction, Christie’s shall be entitled to
cancel the sale and to take any other actions that are
required or permitted under applicable law. Subject to
this, the buyer shall collect purchased lots within two
calendar days from the date of the sale unless otherwise
agreed between us and the buyer.
Conditions of Sale
These Conditions of Sale and the information set out in the All You Need to Know section of the catalogue set out the terms governing the legal relationship of Christie’s and the seller with the buyer. You should read them carefully before bidding.
11/04/14
e Packing, handling and shipping
Although we shall use reasonable efforts to take care
when handling, packing and shipping a purchased
lot and in selecting third parties for these purposes,
we are not responsible for the acts or omissions of
any such third parties. Similarly, where we suggest
other handlers, packers or carriers if so requested,
our suggestions are made on the basis of our general
experience of such parties in the past and we are not
responsible to any person to whom we have made a
recommendation for the acts or omissions of the third
party concerned.
f Export licence
Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact
that the buyer wishes to apply for an export licence
does not affect his or her obligation to make payment
immediately after the sale nor our right to charge
interest or storage charges on late payment. If the buyer
requests us to apply for an export licence on his or
her behalf, we shall be entitled to make a charge for
this service. We shall not be obliged to rescind a sale
nor to refund any interest or other expenses incurred
by the buyer where payment is made by the buyer in
circumstances where an export licence is required.
g Remedies for non payment
If the buyer fails to make payment in full in good cleared
funds within 7 days after the sale, we shall have the right
to exercise a number of legal rights and remedies. These
include, but are not limited to, the following:
i to charge interest at an annual rate equal to 5%
above the base rate of Lloyds TSB Bank Plc;
ii to hold the defaulting buyer liable for the total
amount due and to commence legal proceedings
for its recovery together with interest, legal fees
and costs to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law;
iii to cancel the sale;
iv to resell the property publicly or privately on such
terms as we shall think fit;
v to pay the seller an amount up to the net proceeds
payable in respect of the amount bid by the
defaulting buyer;
vi to set off against any amounts which we, or
Christie’s International plc, or any of its affiliates,
subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide, may
owe the buyer in any other transactions, the
outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the buyer;
vii where several amounts are owed by the buyer to
us, or to Christie’s International plc, or to any
of its affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies
worldwide, in respect of different transactions, to
apply any amount paid to discharge any amount
owed in respect of any particular transaction,
whether or not the buyer so directs;
viii to reject at any future auction any bids made by or
on behalf of the buyer or to obtain a deposit from
the buyer before accepting any bids;
ix to exercise all the rights and remedies of a
person holding security over any property in our
possession owned by the buyer, whether by way
of pledge, security interest or in any other way, to
the fullest extent permitted by the law of the place
where such property is located. The buyer will be
deemed to have granted such security to us and we
may retain such property as collateral security for
such buyer’s obligations to us;
x to take such other action as we deem necessary
or appropriate.
If we resell the property under paragraph (iv) above,
the defaulting buyer shall be liable for payment of any
deficiency between the total amount originally due
to us and the price obtained upon resale as well as for
all reasonable costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and
commissions and premiums of whatever kind associated
with both sales or otherwise arising from the default.
If we pay any amount to the seller under paragraph (v)
above, the buyer acknowledges that Christie’s shall have
all of the rights of the seller, however arising, to pursue
the buyer for such amount.
h Failure to collect purchasesWhere purchases are not collected within two calendar
days from the date of the sale, whether or not payment
has been made, we shall be permitted to remove the
property to a third party warehouse at the buyer’s
expense, and only release the items after payment in full
has been made of removal, storage, handling, and any
other costs reasonably incurred, together with payment
of all other amounts due to us.
i Selling Property at Christie’sIn addition to expenses such as transport, all consignors
pay a commission according to a fixed scale of charges
based upon the value of the property sold by the
consignor at Christie’s in a calendar year. Commissions
are charged on a sale by sale basis.
5
LIMITED WARRANTYIn addition to Christie’s liability to buyers set out in
clause 2 of these Conditions, but subject to the terms
and conditions of this paragraph, Christie’s warrants
for a period of five years from the date of the sale that
any property described in headings printed in UPPER
CASE TYPE (i.e. headings having all capital-letter
type) in this catalogue (as such description may be
amended by any saleroom notice or announcement)
which is stated without qualification to be the work
of a named author or authorship, is authentic and
not a forgery. The term “author” or “authorship”
refers to the creator of the property or to the period,
culture, source or origin, as the case may be, with
which the creation of such property is identified in
the UPPER CASE description of the property in
this catalogue. Only UPPER CASE TYPE headings
of lots in this catalogue indicate what is being
warranted by Christie’s. Christie’s warranty does
not apply to supplemental material which appears
below the UPPER CASE TYPE headings of each
lot and Christie’s is not responsible for any errors or
omissions in such material. The terms used in the
headings are further explained in the All You Need
to Know section of the catalogue. The warranty does
not apply to any heading which is stated to represent
a qualified opinion.
The warranty is subject to the following:
i It does not apply where (a) the catalogue description
or saleroom notice corresponded to the generally
accepted opinion of scholars or experts at the
date of the sale or fairly indicated that there was a
conflict of opinions; or (b) correct identification of
a lot can be demonstrated only by means of either
a scientific process not generally accepted for use
until after publication of the catalogue or a process
which at the date of publication of the catalogue
was unreasonably expensive or impractical or likely
to have caused damage to the property.
ii The benefits of the warranty are not assignable and
shall apply only to the original buyer of the lot as
shown on the invoice originally issued by Christie’s
when the lot was sold at auction.
iii The original buyer must have remained the owner
of the lot without disposing of any interest in it to
any third party.
iv The buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against
Christie’s and the seller, in place of any other
remedy which might be available, is the cancellation
of the sale and the refund of the original purchase
price paid for the lot. Neither Christie’s nor the
seller will be liable for any special, incidental or
consequential damages including, without limitation,
loss of profits nor for interest.
v The buyer must give written notice of claim to us
within five years from the date of the auction. It is
Christie’s general policy, and Christie’s shall have
the right, to require the buyer to obtain the written
opinions of two recognised experts in the field,
mutually acceptable to Christie’s and the buyer,
before Christie’s decides whether or not to cancel
the sale under the warranty.
vi The buyer must return the lot to the Christie’s
saleroom at which it was purchased in the same
condition as at the time of the sale.
6
COPYRIGHTThe copyright in all images, illustrations and written
material produced by or for Christie’s relating to a
lot including the contents of this catalogue, is and
shall remain at all times the property of Christie’s and
shall not be used by the buyer, nor by anyone else,
without our prior written consent. Christie’s and the
seller make no representation or warranty that the
buyer of a property will acquire any copyright or other
reproduction rights in it.
7 SEVERABILITYIf any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by
any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforcable, that
part shall be discounted and the rest of the conditions
shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
8 LAW AND JURISDICTIONThe rights and obligations of the parties with respect
to these Conditions of Sale, the conduct of the auction
and any matters connected with any of the foregoing
shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of
England. By bidding at auction, whether present in
person or by agent, by written bid, telephone or other
means, the buyer shall be deemed to have submitted,
for the benefit of Christie’s, to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the courts of the United Kingdom.

Is it like a Sealed Bid?
A little. The key difference is that a sealed bid is
a fixed sum which, if you are successful, you will
end up paying regardless, whilst a written bid is
your maximum level and you may end up paying
less than that.
What will I pay?
If you are successful, the purchase price
payable will be the aggregate of the final bid
and a buyer’s premium of 25% on each lot
up to and including £50,000 plus 20% of the
excess above £50,000 up to and including
£1,000,000 plus 12% of any sum in excess
of £1,000,000, together with any additional
applicable charges, such as VAT.
Can I change my mind?
Yes of course, but only before the auction
has begun. Contact the Bids Office as soon as
you can on +44 (0)20 7752 3225.
If I’m successful, what happens next?
We will send you an invoice and payment
information sheet to the address provided,
you can then make payment and collect your
lots. Remember, lots can be subject to
storage charges after the sale, always check
the catalogue for precise details on when
charges begin.
Can I have my items delivered?
Yes. Our Art Transport team can arrange all
your transport needs, from local deliveries to
international freight. Their telephone number
is +44 (0)20 7389 2712

Although to be certain of buying a
lot you should attend the auction,
Christie’s will use reasonable efforts
to carry out written bids delivered to
us prior to the sale. A maximum price
should be given against each lot and
the auctioneer will bid on your behalf.
Written bids should be consistent with
the normal increment in bidding at the
relevant level.
3
If your bid is successful, the purchase
price payable will be the aggregate of
the final bid and a buyer’s premium of
25% on each lot up to and including
£50,000 plus 20% of the excess
above £50,000 up to and including
£1,000,000 plus 12% of any sum in
excess of £1,000,000, together with
any additional applicable charges, such
as VAT.
4
Please ensure you have left bids on
the correct lots and that your written
bids are received by no later than the
day before the sale begins. In certain
circumstances it may not be possible to
execute bids received after the start of
the sale.
5
If we receive written bids on a
particular lot for identical amounts,
and at the auction these are the
highest bids for the lot, it will be sold
to the person whose written bid was
received and accepted first. Written
bids submitted on “no reserve” lots
will, in the absence of a higher bid, be
executed at approximately 50% of the
low pre-sale estimate or at the amount
of the bid if it is less than 50% of the
low pre-sale estimate.
6
Please note that we do not accept
responsibility for notifying you of the
result of your bid and request that you
contact us after the sale for your result.
7
Most purchases must be cleared within
2 days of the sale unless alternative
arrangements are provided for in
the relevant catalogue, after which
time storage charges will accrue in
accordance with notices in salerooms
and/or catalogues.
8
To ensure that bids will be accepted
and that delivery of lots is not delayed,
new clients or existing clients planning
to spend sums inconsistent with
their buying history may be asked to
supply written bank or other suitable
references to Christie’s. The references
should be supplied in good time
before the sale. Collection orders for
purchased lots will not be posted.

Execution of written bids is a free
service undertaken subject to other
commitments at the time of the sale
and provided that we have exercised
reasonable care in the handling of
written bids, the volume of goods is
such that we cannot accept liability
in any individual instance for failing
to execute a written bid or for errors
and omissions in connection with it
arising from circumstances beyond our
reasonable control.
