Summary of Information for Buyers Registering to Bid It is strongly recommended that you contact us as early as possible if you wish to bid in one of our auctions and have never previously registered with us. This may be done via our website (www.dnw. co.uk > Your Account > Account Authorisation), by email to auctions@dnw.co.uk or by telephone to 020 7016 1700. The period directly before our auctions is extremely busy and we cannot guarantee that the registration process, which may include security checks, can be carried out in time for you to bid if your request is received by us at a late stage.

Bidding Priority Please note that we prioritise executing commission bids as early as possible in order to secure the lot for you at the cheapest possible price. It is therefore entirely possible that a lot can sell at your top bid to another bidder. To avoid this happening we offer an optional ‘Plus 1’ bidding increment facility, whereby if the bidding is against you at your maximum bid the auctioneer will execute one further bid on your behalf. Please note that in the event of identical top bids priority is given to the first bid received.

Placing Bids Live Bidding via www.dnw.co.uk You may bid in real time from your computer or mobile device. We provide an optional live video and audio feed of the auctioneer, allowing you to participate in much the same way as attending the auction. You may see your invoice and pay online directly after you’ve finished bidding. There is no additional charge for this facility.

Advance Bidding via www.dnw.co.uk We strongly advise this method if you wish to leave bids in advance as it is the easiest, most accurate and flexible way to leave your bids and gives you total control over them right up to the point that the lot is offered for sale. Bids made online cannot be seen by others and only become live at the point the lot is being sold. Up until this time your bids can be easily altered or cancelled. An automated email is sent to confirm any changes made. There is no additional charge for online bidding and it is not necessary to pre-register a payment card in order to do so.

Postal and Telephone Bids Whilst we are still happy to execute all bids submitted to us using post or telephone, it should be noted that all bids left with us in these ways will be entered at our offices using exactly the same bidding facility to which all our clients have access. There is, therefore, no better way of ensuring the accuracy of your advance bids than to place them yourself online. If you are registered with DNW you may bid by email to auctions@dnw.co.uk or by telephone to 020 7016 1700. All bids placed by email or telephone must be received before 16:00 on the day preceding the sale. A bidding form is included in the back of this catalogue. If you wish to use this please fill it in carefully, to include all relevant information. Please ensure that you post this form so that it arrives, at the latest, the day before the sale.

Bidding in the Auction Room You are very welcome to attend the auction and bid in person if you are registered with DNW. Please note that the auction room is situated on the third floor of a Georgian building which doesn’t have a lift. You may pay for and clear your lots during the auction.

Saleroom Notices Should the description of a lot need to be amended after the publication of this catalogue, the amendments will appear automatically on the DNW website, www.dnw.co.uk. All such amendments are also incorporated in the List of Saleroom Notices pertaining to this auction which are posted separately on the website. The auctioneer will refer to any notices at the time any affected lot is offered for sale.

Catalogue Illustrations and the Internet Prospective bidders are reminded that the DNW website features high-resolution colour illustrations of every lot in this auction. There may also be additional illustrations of any lot.

Buyers’ Premium The rate for this sale is 24% of the Hammer Price (+ VAT where applicable)

Importation Duty Lots marked ‘x’ are subject to importation duty of 5% on the Hammer Price unless re-exported outside the UK. From 1 January 2021 importation VAT may be levied by EU countries on lots sold by DNW and subsequently imported into those countries.

Bullion Lots Lots marked ‘G’ will have the VAT element shown on your invoice.

Prices Realised The hammer prices of lots sold at DNW auctions are posted at www.dnw.co.uk in real time and telephone enquiries are welcome from 09:00 on the day after the auction.

Payment You may access your invoice shortly after the hammer has fallen on your last lot.

MICHAEL GIETZELT Michael Gietzelt was born in Berlin in 1954, the son of a doctor. Educated at Berlin Secondary School, he performed his military service in the GDR Army Medical Corps, attaining the rank of Corporal, before entering Berlin University to study medicine in 1976. He opened his antique and coin shop on the Frankfurter-Alle in Berlin in 1984. Encouraged by his Mother, who made him a present of some worn Victorian pennies, and his great-grandfather, who gave him his first serious coin an five pound piece ichael’s collection expanded – not just into British coins, but also into all other spheres of British numismatics, including orders, decorations, medals and paper money. Together with his wife Gisela, Michael also collects German porcelain, particularly Meissen, while their busy home life revolves around their five children and ten grandchildren.

However, a few lightweight halfcrowns are also known (Spink Standard Catalogue, p.267), of which this specimen is one. Among others, Bull lists two in the British Museum, four in the Adams collection (Spink 2005) and four in the collection of the late Dr Hulett, offered in these rooms over the last five years

Over the next six years, he would send quantities of silver to the Tower mint in London for coining. These issues bear a large plume of the Prince of Wales's feathers over the shield on the reverse. Finding the financial burden of transferring this bullion to London irksome, Bushell applied to the King for permission to erect a mint in Wales. After some correspondence and argument this petition was granted on 30 July 1637, authorising the latter to establish a mint in Aberystwyth castle. Authority was given to him to coin halfcrowns, shillings, half-shillings, half-groats and pence, while groats, threepences and halfpence were added the following year. Irons for the coinage were prepared by Edward Green, the chief engraver. The mint remained active until September 1642 when it was transferred to Shrewsbury

On 21 September he made his headquarters at Shrewsbury and a week later he informed the gentlemen of the county that he had sent for a mint, the workers for which arrived a few days later from Aberystwyth, where a mint had been established in 1637 by letters patent to Thomas Bushell. On 21 October the first coins were issued. The period during which coins were struck however was very brief, barely three months, and at the end of December the King moved his headquarters to Oxford, the mint following him, reaching there on 3 January. The coins issued during this short period were the first of those known as the ‘Declaration’ type

Far exceeding the size and value of any previous denomination struck in the British Isles, the triple unite was as much a propaganda piece for the King as it was a means of meeting the enormous expenditure of the war. Despite his Catholic origins, the reverse proclaims his defence of the Protestant religion, English law and the liberty of Parliament. Furthermore, having been forced to leave the vast resources of London behind, it proved he still had the authority and financial wherewithal to produce a numismatic masterpiece, made by one of the country’s finest engravers, at his new war headquarters in Oxford

Bristol was of great importance, as it gave the King a stronghold in the west and access to the Bristol Channel. A garrison was assigned to it and it became, after Oxford, the second capital, and remained so until it was surrendered to the troops of the Commonwealth under Sir Thomas Fairfax on 11 September 1645. Pay was required for the troops, and the expenses of the civil administration had to be met, so money had to be provided. It was therefore decided to establish a mint, which was set up in Bristol castle under the expert mintmaster, Thomas Bushell. It was actually an advantage for Bushell to have a branch at Bristol, as he could bring silver direct from Aberystwyth by sea

It has long been a subject of controversy where the mint moved after the fall of Bristol in the autumn of 1645. Morrieson believed that Thomas Bushell set up a mint on his own estate on Lundy Island while Symonds opined that the coins were struck by Royalist forces in Devon, at Appledore and Barnstaple, matching the A and B mintmarks. More recently, Boon has attributed the marks to Ashby-de-laZouch (Leicestershire) and Bridgnorth-on-Severn (Shropshire), both occupied briefly by Royalists fleeing Bristol to the north and east

In the autumn of 1642 the Royalist county of Cornwall found itself isolated from other parts of the Kingdom still under royal control. Consequently, in November of that year, a Commission was sent to one Sir Richard Vyvyan of Trelowarren empowering him to establish one or more mints in the county to provide coinage for the use of the King’s supporters. Vyvyan chose the town of Truro and wasted no time in carrying out the royal instructions. Incidental written evidence suggests that the mint was in operation by Christmas 1642. There is however a lack of official documentation and the exact location of the mint as well as the identity of the men who worked there is not known

Score in obverse field otherwise good fine, reverse nearly very fine £500-£700 At the end of 1642, it was mooted by the government in London that a branch mint of the Tower should be set up in Exeter, the only time during the war that this was considered by the Parliamentarians, and in January it was ordered that moneyers should be sent to the city. Despite this and the fact that sufficient bullion was seemingly available, no coins were ever struck. The reason for this is not entirely clear. Exeter was then captured by the Royalist army in September 1643 and Vyvyan’s mint at Truro quickly transferred there. Although a new Commission was not received until the following January, there is evidence that coinage was already being struck by the end of September.

The Michael Gietzelt Collection of British and Irish Coins (1625-1660) Worcester mint

134 Halfcrown, 1644/3, mm. castle on obv. only, W below horseman, Declaration in two lines, three crude Bristol plumes above, date below, 13.65g/7h (Bull 666/1 (12c-3); Allen A-1; SCBI Brooker 1139; N 2598; S 3093). Double-struck on reverse, otherwise better than fine, very rare £2,000-£3,000 Provenance: Sotheby Auction, 14 December 1973, lot 87; B.J. Dawson Collection, DNW Auction 156, 21 March 2019, lot 92. Like the uncertainty surrounding the Late Declaration issues, these coins have now been re-attributed. Previously given to a Royalist mint at Weymouth, it is now considered more likely that the mint was actually Worcester (SCBI Brooker pp.xliii-xliv). As in the case of the Late Declaration types, there is a definite link with the coins of Bristol. This type, which stands at the head of the series, has a reverse die, with the date altered from 1643, which was previously used at Bristol. All subsequent issues from this mint show crowned royal arms on the reverse

The Michael Gietzelt Collection of British and Irish Coins (1625-1660) Hawarden Castle (?)

141 Halfcrown, mm. pear on obv., three pears on rev., horseman left, rev. oval shield garnished with lis and scrolls, HC in garniture at foot, 14.80g/12h (Bull 679; SCBI Brooker 1137, same dies; N 2626; S 3129). On an irregular flan as usual, four old vertical scratches on obverse, otherwise about very fine or better for issue and toned, rare £2,000-£3,000 Provenance: DNW Auction 135, 21-4 March 2016, lot 656. Based on the letters HC in the garniture of the shield, these coins were always, until very recently, attributed to a mint at Hartlebury Castle, situated 10 miles north of the city of Worcester. It was held for the King during the first four years of the Civil War, but surrendered to Roundhead forces on 12 May 1646 without a shot being fired. Other attributions for coins from this family group have been made by Pearce (SNC October 2012, pp.75-6, and January 2014, pp.140-3), who clearly demonstrates that the dies for the ‘Hartlebury’ issue were subsequently used at Chester in 1644, so have no connection with Hartlebury and a 1646 siege at all. Pearce postulates that the HC signature in the garniture signifies an issue struck at Hawarden Castle, 4 miles west of Chester, at the end of 1643 (OS)

York mint

142 Halfcrown, Gp 1 [type 1], mm. lion, grassy ground line, square-topped garnished shield, C R at sides, 11.37g/12h (Bull 550; Besly 1A; SCBI Brooker 1076, same dies; N 2309; S 2863). Small of flan, otherwise very fine or better, very rare £1,000-£1,200 Provenance: SNC February 1973 (1239); B.J. Dawson Collection, DNW Auction 156, 21 March 2019, lot 104. For a time in 1642 York was Charles I's 'second capital’, He arrived on 19 March and spent five months based either there or at Beverley, whence he directed operations against the port of Hull. The establishment of a mint at York had been planned long before the outbreak of formal hostilities. Nicholas Briot, the king's engraver, was summoned to the city at the start of May. Written evidence confirms that a mint was established by July 1642 and was almost certainly located in St William's College in Minster Yard. Coins were being produced by the following January and production probably ceased by the end of March 1644. The city surrendered to the Parliamentarians on 15 July

From September 1644 until its surrender to the Parliamentarians, Chester was for the most part under siege. Coinage was only produced for a short period during 1645. On 31 January of that year (NS), the Corporation ordered the conversion of £100-worth of plate into coin 'for the necessary use and defence of this citty'. Chester surrendered to its Parliamentary besiegers under Sir William Brereton on 3 February 1646 (NS).

Hulett Collection, Part XVIII, DNW Auction 175, 6 May 2020, lot 74. The location of this mint is uncertain - probably in the west of England towards the border with Wales. Pearce (SNC January 2014, p.142) postulates an issue struck for Prince Rupert after he left Chester in August 1644 and perhaps to be associated either with those coins known to have been struck at Hereford in the late autumn of 1644, or a possible issue in the town of Monmouth in November 1644

The city was never assaulted, the siege being rather in the nature of a blockade, and the surrender was brought about in part by the scarcity of food, and in part by the hopelessness of relief. For after the defeat of the King's forces at Naseby on 14 June 1645, the garrison, realising that further resistance was vain, opened negotiations for the surrender of the city, and the defenders, who numbered some seven hundred, were permitted to march out with all the honours of war on 25 June

On an octagonal flan, good fine and toned, rare £3,000-£4,000 Provenance: Spink Auction 210, 6-7 October 2011, lot 262 Pontefract Castle was taken for the king at the beginning of June 1648 and it was hoped that it would act as a base for a royalist revival with the aid of an army being raised in Scotland at the time by the Duke of Hamilton. On his way south, the Duke relieved Carlisle and joined forces with Sir Marmaduke Langdale. Soon after, however, his army was defeated at Preston and any revival based around events in the north began to look increasingly unlikely. The fall of Colchester to the Roundheads made the situation worse still. Despite this gloomy outlook, the castle held out throughout the autumn and winter of 1648/9, resisting the best efforts of Cromwellian generals Rainsborough and Lambert who had taken Colchester in the summer. The castle finally fell at the end of March 1649. Although one of the largest in England, it was then systematically demolished within a matter of weeks.

215 Farthing [1654], in pewter, issued by Tobias Knowles, TK within wreath of roses above shield bearing cross moline, rev. shield bearing Irish harp, sun with rays over and around, 6.64g/6h (Whittell, TCSB March 2015, fig. 2; Cooke 816; BMC 373; cf. DNW 136, 612). Some surface corrosion, fair to fine, very rare £600-£800 Provenance: Dorotheum Auktion 509 (Vienna), 18 May 2009, lot 2457. Tobias Knowles (1601-68), originally from Kingston-upon-Thames, pewterer, served in the army, first for Charles I and then on the Parliamentary side during the Civil War, rising to the rank of captain. With the advent of Commonwealth rule, Knowles petitioned Parliament to be allowed to make farthings for the state and in so doing recover the £5,468 he reckoned it had cost him to support the Parliamentary cause in the War. Initially his efforts came to nothing, probably because David Ramage and his cohort of moneyers in the Tower were already running a very profitable enterprise manufacturing tokens for private merchants. Undaunted, Knowles presented a second petition to ‘his Highnesse the Lord Protector’ in March 1653/4 and then took it upon himself to produce farthings containing a quarter of an ounce of fine pewter. These entered circulation on 26 April 1654, but no authority had been given for their issue and they were prohibited by order of the Council of State through an announcement in the issue of Mercurius Publicus for 4-11 May 1654. Knowles is known to have been associated with the band of token manufacturers active during the decline of the Protectorate and the early years of Charles II’s reign and it has been demonstrated by Christopher Whittell that Knowles had a hand in producing the coinage for Lord Baltimore, governor of Maryland, in 1660

Conditions of Business Conditions mainly concerning Buyers 1 The buyer The highest bidder shall be the buyer at the ‘hammer price’ and any dispute shall be settled at the auctioneer’s absolute discretion. Every bidder shall be deemed to act as principal unless there is in force a written acknowledgement by Dix Noonan Webb Ltd (“DNW”) that he acts as agent on behalf of a named principal. Bids will be executed in the order that they are received. 2 Minimum increment The auctioneer shall have the right to refuse any bid which does not conform to Dix Noonan Webb’s published bidding increments which may be found at dnw.co.uk and in the bidding form included with the auction catalogue. 3 The premium The buyer shall pay to DNW a premium on the ‘hammer price’ in accordance with the percentages set out above and agrees that DNW, when acting as agent for the seller, may also receive commission from the seller in accordance with Condition 15. 4 Value Added Tax (VAT) The buyers’ premium is subject to the current rate of Value Added Tax if the lot is delivered to the purchaser within the UK. Lots marked ‘x’ are subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless re-exported outside the UK. 5 Payment When a lot is sold the buyer shall: (a) confirm to DNW his or her name and address and, if so requested, give proof of identity; and (b) pay to DNW the ‘total amount due’ in pounds sterling within five working days of the end of the sale (unless credit terms have been agreed with Dix Noonan Webb before the auction). Please note that, as stated above, we will not accept cash payments in excess of £5,000 (five thousand pounds) in settlement for purchases made at any one auction. 6 DNW may, at its absolute discretion, agree credit terms with the buyer before an auction under which the buyer will be entitled to take possession of lots purchased up to an agreed amount in value in advance of payment by a determined future date of the ‘total amount due’. 7 Any payments by a buyer to DNW may be applied by DNW towards any sums owing from that buyer to DNW on any account whatever, without regard to any directions of the buyer, his or her agent, whether expressed or implied. 8 Collection of purchases The ownership of the lot(s) purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he or she has made payment in full to DNW of the ‘total amount due’ in pounds sterling. 9 (a) The buyer shall at his or her own expense take away the lot(s) purchased not later than 5 working days after the day of the auction but (unless credit terms have been agreed in accordance with Condition 7) not before payment to DNW of the ‘total amount due’. (b) The buyer shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges on any lot not taken away within 5 working days after the day of the auction. (c) The packing and handling of purchased lots by DNW staff is undertaken solely as a courtesy to clients and, in the case of fragile articles, will be undertaken only at DNW’s discretion. In no event will DNW be liable for damage to glass or frames, regardless of the cause. Bulky lots or sharp implements, etc., may not be suitable for in-house shipping. 10 Buyers’ responsibilities for lots purchased The buyer will be responsible for loss or damage to lots purchased from the time of collection or the expiry of 5 working days after the day of the auction, whichever is the sooner. Neither DNW nor its servants or agents shall thereafter be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, while any lot is in its custody or under its control. Loss and damage warranty cover at the rate of 1.5% will be applied to any lots despatched by DNW to destinations outside the UK, unless specifically instructed otherwise by the consignee.

11 Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchase If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with Conditions 6 and 10, or if there is any other breach of either of those Conditions, DNW as agent of the seller shall, at its absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights it may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) to proceed against the buyer for damages for breach of contract. (b) to rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the defaulting buyer at the same or any other auction. (c) to re-sell the lot or cause it to be re-sold by public auction or private sale and the defaulting buyer shall pay to DNW any resulting deficiency in the ‘total amount due’ (after deduction of any part payment and addition of re-sale costs) and any surplus shall belong to the seller. (d) to remove, store and insure the lot at the expense of the defaulting buyer and, in the case of storage, either at DNW’s premises or elsewhere. (e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 2 percent per month on the ‘total amount due’ to the extent it remains unpaid for more than 5 working days after the day of the auction. (f) to retain that or any other lot sold to the same buyer at the sale or any other auction and release it only after payment of the ‘total amount due’. (g) to reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting buyer at any future auctions or obtaining a deposit before accepting any bids in future. (h) to apply any proceeds of sale then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the defaulting buyer towards settlement of the ‘total amount due’ and to exercise a lien on any property of the defaulting buyer which is in DNW’s possession for any purpose. 12 Liability of Dix Noonan Webb and sellers (a) Goods auctioned are usually of some age. All goods are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description. Illustrations in catalogues are for identification only. Buyers should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the condition of each lot and should exercise and rely on their own judgement as to whether the lot accords with its description. Subject to the obligations accepted by DNW under this Condition, none of the seller, DNW, its servants or agents is responsible for errors of descriptions or for the genuineness or authenticity of any lot. No warranty whatever is given by DNW, its servants or agents, or any seller to any buyer in respect of any lot and any express or implied conditions or warranties are hereby excluded. (b) Any lot which proves to be a ‘deliberate forgery’ may be returned by the buyer to DNW within 15 days of the date of the auction in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction, accompanied by a statement of defects, the number of the lot, and the date of the auction at which it was purchased. If DNW is satisfied that the item is a ‘deliberate forgery’ and that the buyer has and is able to transfer a good and marketable title to the lot free from any third party claims, the sale will be set aside and any amount paid in respect of the lot will be refunded, provided that the buyer shall have no rights under this Condition if: (i) the description in the catalogue at the date of the sale was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of such opinion; or (ii) the only method of establishing at the date of publication of the catalogue that the lot was a ‘deliberate forgery’ was by means of scientific processes not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which was unreasonably expensive or impractical. (c) A buyer’s claim under this Condition shall be limited to any amount paid in respect of the lot and shall not extend to any loss or damage suffered or expense incurred by him or her. (d) The benefit of the Condition shall not be assignable and shall rest solely and exclusively in the buyer who, for the purpose of this condition, shall be and only be the person to whom the original invoice is made out by DNW in respect of the lot sold.

Conditions mainly concerning Sellers and Consignors

General Conditions and Definitions

13 Warranty of title and availability The seller warrants to DNW and to the buyer that he or she is the true owner of the property or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. The seller will indemnify DNW, its servants and agents and the buyer against any loss or damage suffered by either in consequence of any breach on the part of the seller. 14 Reserves The seller shall be entitled to place, prior to the first day of the auction, a reserve at or below the low estimate on any lot provided that the low estimate is more than £100. Such reserve being the minimum ‘hammer price’ at which that lot may be treated as sold. A reserve once placed by the seller shall not be changed without the consent of DNW. DNW may at their option sell at a ‘hammer price’ below the reserve but in any such cases the sale proceeds to which the seller is entitled shall be the same as they would have been had the sale been at the reserve. Where a reserve has been placed, only the auctioneer may bid on behalf of the seller. 15 Authority to deduct commission and expenses The seller authorises DNW to deduct commission at the ‘stated rate’ and ‘expenses’ from the ‘hammer price’ and acknowledges DNW's right to retain the premium payable by the buyer. 16 Rescission of sale If before DNW remit the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller, the buyer makes a claim to rescind the sale that is appropriate and DNW is of the opinion that the claim is justified, DNW is authorised to rescind the sale and refund to the buyer any amount paid to DNW in respect of the lot. 17 Payment of sale proceeds DNW shall remit the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller not later than 35 days after the auction, but if by that date DNW has not received the ‘total amount due’ from the buyer then DNW will remit the sale proceeds within five working days after the date on which the ‘total amount due’ is received from the buyer. If credit terms have been agreed between DNW and the buyer, DNW shall remit to the seller the sale proceeds not later than 35 days after the auction unless otherwise agreed by the seller. 18 If the buyer fails to pay to DNW the ‘total amount due’ within 3 weeks after the auction, DNW will endeavour to notify the seller and take the seller’s instructions as to the appropriate course of action and, so far as in DNW’s opinion is practicable, will assist the seller to recover the ‘total amount due’ from the buyer. If circumstances do not permit DNW to take instructions from the seller, the seller authorises DNW at the seller’s expense to agree special terms for payment of the ‘total amount due’, to remove, store and insure the lot sold, to settle claims made by or against the buyer on such terms as DNW shall in its absolute discretion think fit, to take such steps as are necessary to collect monies due by the buyer to the seller and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the buyer if appropriate 19 If, notwithstanding that, the buyer fails to pay to DNW the ‘total amount due’ within three weeks after the auction and DNW remits the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller, the ownership of the lot shall pass to DNW. 20 Charges for withdrawn lots Where a seller cancels instructions for sale, DNW reserve the right to charge a fee of 15 per cent of DNW’s then latest middle estimate of the auction price of the property withdrawn, together with Value Added Tax thereon if the seller is resident in the UK, and ‘expenses’ incurred in relation to the property. 21 Rights to photographs and illustrations The seller gives DNW full and absolute right to photograph and illustrate any lot placed in its hands for sale and to use such photographs and illustrations and any photographs and illustrations provided by the seller at any time at its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the auction). 22 Unsold lots Where any lot fails to sell, DNW shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to reoffer the lot for sale or to collect the lot. 23 DNW reserve the right to charge commission up to one-half of the ‘stated rates’ calculated on the ‘bought-in price’ and in addition ‘expenses’ in respect of any unsold lots.

24 DNW sells as agent for the seller (except where it is stated wholly or partly to own any lot as principal) and as such is not responsible for any default by seller or buyer. 25 Any representation or statement by DNW, in any catalogue as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his or her own judgement as to such matters and neither DNW nor its servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. 26 Whilst the interests of prospective buyers are best served by attendance at the auction, DNW will, if so instructed, execute bids on their behalf. Neither DNW nor its servants or agents are responsible for any neglect or default in doing so or for failing to do so. 27 DNW shall have the right, at its discretion, to refuse admission to its premises or attendance at its auctions by any person. 28 DNW has absolute discretion without giving any reason to refuse any bid, to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots, to withdraw any lot from the auction and in case of dispute to put up any lot for auction again. 29 (a) Any indemnity under these Conditions shall extend to all actions, proceedings costs, expenses, claims and demands whatever incurred or suffered by the person entitled to the benefit of the indemnity. (b) DNW declares itself to be a trustee for its relevant servants and agents of the benefit of every indemnity under these Conditions to the extent that such indemnity is expressed to be for the benefit of its servants and agents. 30 Any notice by DNW to a seller, consignor, prospective bidder or buyer may be given by first class mail or airmail and if so given shall be deemed to have been duly received by the addressee 48 hours after posting. 31 These Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law. All transactions to which these Conditions apply and all matters connected therewith shall also be governed by English law. DNW hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts and all other parties concerned hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. 32 In these Conditions: (a) ‘catalogue’ includes any advertisement, brochure, estimate, price list or other publication; (b) ‘hammer price’ means the price at which a lot is knocked down by the auctioneer to the buyer; (c) ‘total amount due’ means the ‘hammer price’ in respect of the lot sold together with any premium, Value Added Tax chargeable and additional charges and expenses due from a defaulting buyer in pounds sterling; (d) ‘deliberate forgery’ means an imitation made with the intention of deceiving as to authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source which is not shown to be such in the description in the catalogue and which at the date of the sale had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with that description; (e) ‘sale proceeds’ means the net amount due to the seller being the ‘hammer price’ of the lot sold less commission at the ‘stated rates’ and ‘expenses’ and any other amounts due to DNW by the seller in whatever capacity and howsoever arising; (f) ‘stated rate’ means DNW’s published rates of commission for the time and any Value Added Tax thereon; (g) ‘expenses’ in relation to the sale of any lot means DNW charges and expenses for insurance, illustrations, special advertising, packing and freight of that lot and any Value Added Tax thereon; (h) ‘bought-in price’ means 5 per cent more than the highest bid received below the reserve. 33 Vendors’ commission of sales A commission of 15 per cent is payable by the vendor on the hammer price on lots sold. 34 VAT Commission, illustrations, insurance and advertising are subject to VAT if the seller is resident in the UK.
