* United Nations archives belonging to Benjamin A. Cohen, Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations Department of Public Information.

Benjamin Cohen, a leading diplomat and journalist from Chile, was nominated by the Latin American countries to head the Department of Information at the inception of the United Nations. He was instrumental in organizing the United Nations and served at his position from 1946-1955. Dag Hammarskjold, First Secretary General of the United Nations, in his memorial tribute to Mr. Cohen said, “Mr. Cohen made an invaluable con-tribution to the work of the United Nations. Completely dedi-cated to it’s aims and objectives. He worked indefatigably toward their realization.” These archives include letters, docu-ments, photographs, autographs and a wide variety of ephemera which are historically significant.

AnnouncementsWe may, at the commencement of, or during the Auction, announce changes in or modifications to the Conditions of Sale or descriptions of Property.c. Absentee BidsFor a Buyer’s convenience, absentee bids will be accepted, when properly executed and submitted in a timely manner. However, we neither accept any responsibility to an absentee bidder, nor any liability whatsoever for a failure to execute the absentee bid for any reason. In the event that identical multiple absentee bids are the highest bids received for the same lot then the earliest received of the competing absentee bids shall prevail at that bid amount.d. Auctioneer’s Discretion The Auctioneer has the absolute discretion to 1) pass a lot or withdraw it from sale at any time prior to its actual sale; 2) refuse to recognize any bidder; 3) refuse to recognize any bid; 4) resolve any dispute between bidders or resolve any doubtful bid by deciding who is the successful bidder or nullifying the auction of the lot and reoffering it for sale. The Auctioneer’s decision is binding as to disputes aris-ing at auction. If a dispute arises post sale, our records of the sale shall be conclusive. Both the Auctioneer and MA shall be without any liability

whatsoever resulting from the exercise of the dis-cretion referred to herein.e. ReservesAll Property is offered for sale subject to a Reserve unless otherwise stated by us at time of sale. MA may protect the Reserve by an initial bid or contin-ued bidding on behalf of the consignor. Any bids by MA staff after the Reserve is met shall be made only on behalf or registered bidders. Neither the con-signor nor an agent or representative of the con-signor is allowed to bid on their own property.DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIESExcept for warranty of title, neither we nor the Consignor make any warranties, guarantees or rep-resentation, express or implied, with respect to the Property, including, but not necessarily limited to, any implied warranty of “fitness for purpose” or “merchantability.”Any and all statements and descriptions in any cata-logue or elsewhere by MA, relating to age, attribu-tion, authenticity, size, genuineness, provenance, his-torical relevance or significance, physical condition, importance, quality, quantity, rarity, period, culture, source or origin, are presented as statements of qualified opinion only. MA’s disclaimer of liability covers information con-tained in catalogues, and all other printed material published by us, including condition reports. Buyers assume the responsibility to inspect the Property and make their own decision as to the nature, quali-ty and value of the Property.Neither MA nor the Consignor make any warranty or representation with regard to the existence of or the transfer of intellectual property rights, except and to such extent as may, from time to time, be explicitly stated.No employee of MA is authorized to nor shall make any warranty or representation on MA’s behalf, except as stated in the catalog or in any written addendum. ESTIMATES OF VALUEAll estimates of value as published in our Catalogues or elsewhere are statements of qualified opinion as to the range of the price a willing buyer might pay for the Property at auction. The actual price paid at auction or subsequently, may vary substantially from the estimates. MA shall not be liable for any such differential.BUYER’S DEFAULTIf a Buyer fails to pay for purchased Property, or otherwise does not comply with these Conditions of Sale, the Buyer shall be in default. In addition to all remedies available in law, to MA and to the Consignor, the Buyer shall be liable for the entire Purchase price. Additionally, at our option, we may either cancel the sale and retain all payments made by Buyer as well as retain any and all Property of Buyer in our possession as security against payment of the sums in default, or we may re-offer the Property for sale, at auction or privately, without reserve. Buyer shall be liable to us and the Consignor for the additional fees, commissions and costs on both sales (including handling, storage and court costs and attorney’s fees) resulting from the cancellation or resale of the Property and in the event of resale, any deficiency which may result.RESCISSIONThe sole and exclusive remedy, available only to the original buyer, is the limited right of rescission set forth herein. MA will cancel the sale of Property if the original buyer establishes to our satisfaction that there has been a breach of the Consignor’s warran-ty of title, or that the identification of Authorship* of the Property as set forth in Bold Type Heading is

not substantially correct, based on a fair reading of the Catalogue (as may be amended by posted or announced changes.) IN ALL INSTANCES, YOU MUST GIVE WRITTEN NOTICE TO US WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY, SETTING FORTH THE BASIS FOR YOUR CLAIM AND, AT YOUR SOLE EXPENSE AND RISK, RETURN THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION TO MA WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS AFTER NOTICE IS GIVEN AND IN THE SAME CONDITION AS WHEN SOLD. Upon review of the claim and the property, if we are satisfied with the bases for your claim and the property is in the same condition it was in when sold, MA will rescind the sale and return to you the Purchase price, unless we have already remitted funds to the Consignor. In that event, and at MA’s sole discretion, MA shall either pay you as provided above, or shall pay you only that portion of the Purchase price retained by us (the Seller’s commission, the buyer’s premium and any sales taxes collected) and on your behalf make demand on the Consignor for the balance and upon receipt of the funds remit same to you. Should the Consignor refuse to return the funds to you or to MA, we shall disclose the Consignor’s identity and assign to you any and all rights MA may have against the Consignor. Any and all liability MA may have as agent for the Consignor shall thereupon terminate.BUYER EXPRESSLY UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT MA SHALL HAVE NO OTHER LIABILITY TO THE BUYER EXCEPT FOR THE RETURN OF THE PURCHASE PRICE AND THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL MA BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR COMPENSATORY DAMAGES OR LOSS OF PROFIT OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.

*Authorship refers to the maker or creator of the Property, and the period, social culture, and origin of the Property as stated in the Bold Type Heading for a given lot in our catalogue. It does not refer to the descriptions which may be contained in the informa-tion below the Bold Type Heading.

MISCELLANEOUS a. Modification: No modification or amendment of the Conditions of Sale shall bind MA unless con-tained in a writing signed by MA, except as may be posted or published as noted above or verbally announced at time of sale.b. Severability: If, for any reason, any part of the Conditions of Sale is held to be invalid or unen-forceable, the remaining portion shall be valid and enforceable.c. Successors and Assigns: The Conditions of Sale shall be binding on all the heirs and assigns of the Buyers and bidders and inure to the benefit of MA’s succes-sors and assigns.d. Jurisdiction, Venue, Choice of Law: Dispute resolution shall occur in Alameda County, California, USA. The provisions of the Conditions of Sale will be con-strued and disputes determined by application of California Law, without regard to conflicts of law.e. Notice, Service of Process: Buyers agree to accept all notices and service of process relating to dispute resolution at the address provided by Buyer on any registration forms required to be executed as a con-dition of bidding in our auction.f. Dispute Resolution: All disputes and claims arising out of or relating to events and actions covered herein, brought by or against us, shall be resolved by mediation or binding arbitration in accord with the procedures set forth below. This provision does not apply to claims brought by the Buyer directly against the Consignor, including, but not limited to any

action brought pursuant to the rescission provisions noted aboveOPTIONAL PROVISIONS Shipping, insurance packaging and handling of pur-chased lots is at the risk and expense of the pur-chaser. As a service to the purchaser, MA may ship appropriate items solely via United Parcel Service, (UPS) Ground. MA will not ship by any other meth-od including USPS, and property requiring freight shipment. MA will, in no event insure the property whether or not packaged and shipped by MA. MA shall not, under any circumstances, be liable for the loss, theft or damage to property, including, but not limited to selection of shipper, the acts or omissions of any shipper or the acts or omissions occurring in packing for shipment. It is the purchaser’s responsi-bility to obtain a shipping quote for any lot being offered, from an outside shipper, prior to the auc-tion date. (As a courtesy, MA may provide quotes for items to be shipped via UPS). Post sale determi-nation of shipping costs does not constitute grounds for cancellation of any purchase made at auction. Purchasers are advised that large and fragile items can be expensive and that MA will ship no property without first obtaining consent from the purchaser and only after packing and shipping costs have been disclosed by MA. When MA is to pack and ship, MA will provide to the bidder with a quote for cost of packing and handling and the UPS fee. The Purchaser is responsible for any insurance of the shipment. Shipment will not be made until both all sums due MA including the shipping and handling fees as quot-ed, and written confirmation is received that insur-ance has been waived or has been obtained by pur-chaser. Shipment may take up to 21 days after pay-ment is received.MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION PROCEDURES (a) Within 30 days of written notice that there is a dispute, the parties or their representatives may meet at a time and place mutually agreed upon, to mediate their differences. If the parties agree, a mediator acceptable to the parties shall be selected. The mediator shall be an attorney, trained in media-tion techniques and familiar with commercial law and the California Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). The mediator’s fees shall be shared equally and paid by all parties. At the mediation, all parties shall have actual authority to settle the dispute. Any statements made during, and all aspects of, the mediation process shall be kept confidential and shall not be admissible in any subsequent arbitration or judicial proceeding. Any resolution shall be confi-dential. (b) If the parties cannot agree to mediation, or if mediation does not resolve the dispute, or in any event no longer than 60 days after receipt of written notice referred to above, the parties shall submit the dispute for binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator jointly selected, or absent agreement, selected from the panel of Arbitrators provided by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). If, within 15 days, the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, then AAA shall select one (1) per-son as arbitrator in accord with AAA rules.

Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by the art-ist. 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, indi-cates that in our opinion the work is by the artists named.

Attributed to Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion probably a work by the artist but less certainty as to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category.

Studio of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by an unknown hand in the studio of the artist, which may or may not have been executed under the artist’s direction.

Circle of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by an as yet unidentified by distinct hand, closely associated with the named artist but not necessarily his pupil.

Style of ......; follower of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by a painter working in the art-ist’s style, contemporary or near contemporary, but not necessarily his pupil.

Manner of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date.

after Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a copy of a known work of the artist.

The term signed and/or dated and/or inscribed means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription are from the hand of the artist.

The term bears a signature and/or date and/or inscription means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription have been added by another hand.“bearing signature...”/”bearing date...”/”bearing inscription...” In our opinion the signature/date/inscription is by a hand other than that of the artist.

Typical Headings:

FURNITURE

George III Mahogany Chest of DrawersThird Quarter 18th Century

This heading, with date included, means that the piece is, in our opinion, of the period indicated with no major alterations or restorations.

George III Mahogany Chest of DrawersThis heading, without the inclusion of the date, indicates that, in our opinion, the piece, while basically of the period, has undergone significant restoration and alteration.

George III Style Mahogany Chest of DrawersThe inclusion of the word “style” in the heading indicates that, in our opinion, the piece was made as an intentional reproduction of an earlier style.

BRONZES

Antoine-Louis BaryeThis heading indicates that the casting and patina-tion were done by the artist or with his direct authorization or supervsion.

Cast After a Model by Antoine-Louis BaryeThis heading indicates that the casting and patina-tion of a known Barye model were done by another, i.e., artisans at the F. Barbedienne or other foundry.

CERAMICS

Meissen Porcelain Cup and SaucerLate 19th Century

This states that the cup and saucer were made at the Meissen factory in the last quarter of the 19th Century.

Meissen Porcelain Cup and a SaucerLate 19th Century

Again, this states that the cup and saucer were made at the Meissen factory in the last quarter of the 19th Century, but it also indicates that the cup and saucer may not have been “born” together.

Meissen Porcelain Cup and SaucerCirca 1900

This states that the cup and saucer are of Meissen style, and although of the date specified, not necessar-ily made at the Meissen factory.

‘Meissen’ Porcelain Cup and a Saucer19th Century

This states that the cup and saucer are of Meissen style, and although of the date specified, not necessarily made at the Meissen factory.

Meissen Porcelain Cup and SaucerThe title without a specific date simply states that the pieces were made at the Meissen factory but does not specify when, implying that their age is questionable.
