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.
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.

Importation Duty Lots marked ‘x’ are subject to importation VAT of 5% on the Hammer Price unless re-exported outside the UK.
Treated Gemstones It is common practice for many gemstones to be subject to various treatments to improve their appearance. Sapphires and rubies are routinely heat treated to improve their colour and clarity, emeralds may be treated with oils or resin, other gemstones may be subject to treatments such as staining, irradiation or coating. Jade may be bleached polymer/resin filled or dyed or a combination of treatments used. Bidders should be aware that, unless stated to the contrary in the catalogue description, it should be assumed that the gemstones may be treated. Where reports are provided from gem laboratories, the opinions as to gradings and treatments of stones may differ slightly between laboratories and DNW cannot be held responsible for any discrepancies.

EARLY JEWELLERY The Throckenholt Cross
103 The Throckenholt Cross - An early Medieval gold cross pendant, 11th-12th century, the Latin cross composed of arms of triple tiered ropetwist wires with trefoil terminals and beaded detail, with four further bead highlights at the point of intersection, to a broad reeded suspensory loop; applied to the centre is a slightly later Medieval (13th century) vacant lozenge-shaped setting, pendant length 31mm. £6,000-£8,000 This cross was found by a detectorist in Sutton St. Edmund, Lincolnshire in 2019. The parish of Sutton St. Edmund includes the hamlet of Throckenholt, where a hermitage and chapel were granted to Thorney Abbey, by Nigel, Bishop of Ely (1133-69). It is probable that there had been a hermitage here for some time, as the Red Book of Thorney states that Throckenholt had been used as a hermitage since 1107. The hermitage is mentioned again in 1189-97 and 1348. In 1293-1305, Abbot Odo of Thorney ordered that two or three monks should reside there as had previously been the case. The chapel stood where Throckenholt farmhouse now stands, fragments of stone, bones and other relics having been found on the site at various times. It survived until at least 1540 when it is shown on a map of Wisbech Hundred (the original is in Wisbech Museum). This cross is of a form associated with Medieval Greek Othodoxy in the Eastern Baltic region. A very similar pendant is illustrated in Austin and Alcocks (ed.), From the Baltic to the Black Sea: Studies in Medieval Archaeology p figure . row no. . In the accompanying text on Medieval Britain it notes: “Accompanying the spread of Christianity, the archaeological material reveals small Orthodox (11th-14th centuries) and Catholic (12th-14th centuries) crosses, which r t first tro c ro bro The illustrated example was discovered in Denmark. In the medieval period Denmark formed part of the Hanseatic League, a commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and market towns in central and northern Europe, growing from a few north German towns in the late 12th century, to encompass nearly 200 settlements across seven modern-day countries at its height between the 13th and 15th centuries. Originally a loose association of traders and towns advancing their mutual commercial interests, these arrangements gradually coalesced into the Hanseatic League, a cohesive political organization by the end of the 13th century, whose traders enjoyed duty-free treatment, protection, and diplomatic privileges in affiliated communities and their trade routes. During the peak of its power the anseatic eague had a virtual monopoly over maritime trade in the North and Baltic Seas. King’s Lynn, on the North sea coast ust miles from Sutton St. Edmund provided a significant enclave and trading partner for the Hanseatic League, housing a representative merchant and a League warehouse, and this may provide a possible explanation for the link between these two very similar crosses. This cross is recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database, Ref: NMS-06E591, and has subsequently been disclaimed as Treasure (2019-T379).

Steve Ashley notes on the AS report The stone is cut in imitation of an ancient intaglio in green asper which was especially favoured in the iddle Ages . Martin Henig notes: “In the High Middle Ages, between the 12th and 14th centuries, ancient gems were frequently re-set for use in personal seal-matrices (secreta) in order to serve as signets. The fashion, for [...] ancient gems, was continuous throughout the Middle Ages, but gem-seal usage reached its height of popularity during the second half of the 12th century. Consequently, it may be seen as one small aspect of what it is still convenient to call the ‘12th-century Renaissance’, with its intellectual ferment and enhanced interest in the literature and art of Rome and the Classical world.” Literature: Adams N. et al. ood Impressions Image and Authority in edieval Seals (pub.

This ring was discovered in Stinsford in West Dorset. The ring is recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database, Ref: SOM-D01838, and has subsequently been disclaimed as Treasure. Lapidaries (i.e. texts that describes the physical properties and virtues of precious and semi-precious stones) were very popular in the Middle Ages when belief that gems held various powers was widely held. Included within these lapidaries, were a few non-mineral items and these included crampodine, or ‘toadstone’. The ‘toadstone’ is round and brownish, and is in fact the palate tooth of a fossilised shark known as Lepidotus. Literary references to toadstones appear from the 12th century, when it was believed that the toad, whose breath was venomous, had within its head a stone which was an antidote to poison. The story relates that the toad should be placed on a red cloth and this would cause him to belch forth the stone from its head - the stone should be quickly whipped away before the toad could attempt to reclaim it. Charles Oman of the British Museum, referring to toadstones mounted in rings explained: “Extant examples do not date before the middle of the fourteenth century but belief in their efficacy survived well into the seventeenth century though descriptions of techniques for testing doubtful specimens suggest the gradual growth of scepticism. The toadstone was the best known of the substances which were credited with curative or protective powers. It is frequently difficult to identify both the material or the supposed efficacy of some rings which are obviously magical. Literature: Oman, C., British Rings 800-1914, (B.T. Batsford Ltd, London, 1974)

111 An Elizabethan cardinal’s seal ring, 16th-17th century, the large gilt metal ring with an oval be el bearing intaglio detail of a male profile probably a pope wearing the camauro, within a beaded border, the bezel between caryatid shoulders, ring size approximately U. £1,000-£1,200 This ring was found at Deerhurst, on the outskirts of Tewkesbury. St Mary’s Priory church, Deerhurst, was built in the 8th century, when Deerhurst was part of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia. The church was restored and altered in the 10th century after the Viking invasion of England, and enlarged early in the 13th century and altered again in the 14th and 15th centuries. The church has been described as an Anglo Saxon monument of the first order . From the Anglo-Saxon era until 1540, St Mary’s was the church of a Benedictine priory. After dissolving the priory the Crown leased it’s manor to a George Throckmorton and it remained with his heirs until 1604, when it was sold to Thomas Cassey of Wightfield anor near Apperley. Deerhurst also contains the 11th-century Odda’s Chapel, about 200 yards southwest of the St Mary’s, which remained in use until the 16th century.

Posy Rings h os s o r r s h ch r s t to th fi r ot to b s o h th t ho th o by the hands, and yet known to you that wear them on your hands” - John Lyly, Euphues, 1580. The name ‘posy ring’ is derived from the ‘poesy’ or motto usually engraved around the hoop of a gold band ring, and they were produced from the 14th to the 18th centuries, reaching the peak of their popularity in the 17th century when they mostly took the form of a D-section rounded band, plain to the exterior, with the posy inscribed to the inner surface in italic, cursive script. osy rings were sometimes given as gifts to friends to mark significant occasions but their most common use was as gifts of love and betrothal/marriage, with the posy - often a rhyming couplet - having a romantic theme. The repetition of particularly posies indicates that goldsmiths and their customers made use of published compendiums or commonplace books such as the 1658 ‘The st r s o o or th rt o oo , or the 1674 o s r or os s or r s h rch s s ch r tt to s s o r s s th r o s . The more unusual inscriptions perhaps indicating the ability to choose or write a posy would be a demonstration of the literary air of an educated person. The placing of the posy to the interior of the band makes the posy (and its sentiment) a secret shared only between giver and receiver.
113 An 18th century decorated small posy ring, the gold band decorated to the exterior with a heart clasped between two elaborately cuffed hands to one side, and a heart between two doves to the other, the trefoil leaf foliate detail between, traces of polychrome enamel remaining; the interior inscribed ‘I am but a token’ in italic script, with indistinct maker’s mark, ring size D. £2,400-£3,000 This ring was discovered by a metal detectorist in Langton Matravers, in Purbeck, Dorset.

The ring is recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database, Ref: DOR-364BBF, and has subsequently been disclaimed as Treasure. Ciorstaidh Hayward Trevarthen notes in the PAS Report: “This is a somewhat unusual example of a posy ring in having a two-line inscription rather than the more commonly seen single line. For other examples of such double-line inscriptions see BM 1961,1202.93 (Salisbury, circa 1595-1633) and BM 1961,1202.28 (16th or 17th century). In its heaviness, BM 1961,1202.93 resembles 2020 T718. The inscription is not found on any parallels in the British Museum. A variant of this inscription The eye doth find the heart doth choose and love doth bind till death doth loose] was engraved in a ring made for Thomas Whythorn, court musician in 1569 (David Cressy: Birth, Marriage, and Death: Ritual, Religion and the Life-Cycle in Tudor and Stuart England, 1997, 343) demonstrating that long inscriptions do not tie rings to later periods”. oan Evans ( ) records another variant Eye doth find heart doth chose bind, death doth lose] in Edward Brooke’s commonplace book of 1605.

There are several London makers with these initials recorded in Jackson (1905) starting in 1689-90 (ibid p. 141) through to 1724-25 (ibid p. 168), but the later examples are more elaborate than this one. The closest in terms of the shape of the shield and minimal other ornament is that of Josiah Daniel recorded for 1714 – 15 (ibid p.159), but other possibilities are Isaac Dalton in 1711-12 (ibid p.157) Andrew Dalton in 1709 – 10 (ibid p.155) and an unnamed maker in 1689-90 (ibid p.141)”.

The ring has been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database, Ref: PAS-10F734, and has subsequently been disclaimed as Treasure. Please note the PAS report records this ring as gold, but it is silver gilt not gold. Tony Dove notes on the PAS report: “The maker’s mark is very similar to one on a ring in the collection of the British Museum (reference 1961,1202.403) which was attributed to one of either ‘Charles Walrond ondon eweller ree. of the ondon oldsmiths’ Company in (no further dates known and death unrecorded) or Charles Wise ondon eweller ree. of the ondon oldsmiths’ Company in 1682, (no further dates known and death unrecorded).”

Rachel King (British Museum) commented for the PAS report, 2021: “Examples of ‘J’ in this form are attested for two small workers registered at Goldsmiths’ Hall in 1736 and 1769 respectively”.

119 A late 19th century gold signet ring, engraved with crest and motto, stamped ‘18CT’, ring size M-N. £600-£800
The crest is from the von Dadelszen family with motto ‘Per Ardua Surgam’, translating as ‘Through trials I shall rise’. This crest, now used by the New Zealand branch of the family, may well have been derived from the German family Stoppel, originating in the early 17th century, and consisting of three golden ears of corn standing upright on a stubble field. In medieval times ‘stoppeln’ was a common word for raking or collecting field crops. (Stoppel translates as ‘stubble’ in German). The Stoppels were Lutheran protestants so the three ears could be the symbol of the utheran motto loyal firm true . The first appearance of the Stoppel surname in the on Dadels en family appeared with the marriage of ichael David von Dadels en ( ) to Christina Dorothea Stoppel. Numerous other members of the Stoppel family married into the on Dadels en family. The on Dadels en name was first recorded circa in Stade a small town miles from amburg. Changes occurred to the spelling over the centuries between changing from van Dalen to von Dahlern; around 1688, from von Dahlern to von Dadelsen, and in the second half of th century one part of the family changed the name to von Dadels en. n anuary Edward von Dadels en is recorded as sailing from iverpool bound for Auckland New ealand with his two surviving sons and five daughters two years after the death of his wife, Mary Jane Evans. The descendants of the New Zealand branch of the family have comprehensively researched the family history from to the present day ( generations). See website wwww.knowledgebank.org.n

De Vroomen Born in Holland during the Second World War, Leo de Vroomen was the youngest of eight siblings. His family were tulip farmers but from an early age Leo dreamed of a different life. Following his apprenticeship in The Hague and qualifying as a Master Goldsmith in Switzerland, he came to London in 1965. It was whilst lecturing at the Central School of Art and Design that he met his future wife the artist and designer Ginnie. They married and in 1976 together founded De Vroomen Design Ltd. The company rapidly expanded and the distinctive De Vroomen style gained international reputation. During these years innie’s painting became increasingly important and in she had her first solo show in Chelsea. De Vroomen went on to be the winners of the coveted De Beers Diamonds International Award in 1974, wining a second award in 1986. In 1991, the Goldsmiths’ Hall held a retrospective exhibition of their work, marking 20 years of the partnership between Leo and Ginnie. A second exhibition at Goldsmiths’ Hall took place in the summer of 2017, to celebrate 50 years of De Vroomen jewellery, the jewellery exhibited to the backdrop of Ginnie’s exquisite paintings.

Sidersky & Son Sidersky & Son were the oldest family-run jewellery manufacturing company in South Africa, with more than 100 years of continuous trading, from 1902-2006. Adolph Sidersky, the founder, was educated and trained in Leipzig, Germany, as an engraver, setter and jeweller. He emigrated to South Africa in the late 1800s, participating in the Boer War on the side of the Boers. After the war in 1902, he opened his own manufacturing jewellery studio in Surrey House, Rissik Street, Johannesburg. In 1928, his son Max joined the business, taking over the company when his father died in 1959. The studio specialised in the mounting and setting of gemstones in platinum or gold, gaining a reputation for excellence in their craftsmanship - indeed commissions in the early 1950s included those from a South Rhodesian firm for jewellery that was presented to the young Princess Elizabeth, and later to the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret. In 1973 Sidersky’s opened a retail shop in Sandtown City. In the late 1950s, Max Sidersky was active as the chairman of the South African Manufacturing Jewellers Association, with a progressive attitude to the development of jewellery manufacturing, in 1958 arguing the case for introducing a standardised jewellery hallmarking system - which was to take another 55 years before legislation established a South African hallmarking system in 2013. The company was sold in 2006.

Georg Adam Scheid (1838-1921) was born in Schönau Baden, Germany. At the age of sixteen, he began an apprenticeship, working in both Pforzheim and Stufttgart. In 1858 he travelled to Vienna to work for the goldsmith Michael Markowitsch. Scheid became a partner in the firm in and the company was renamed arakowitsch Scheid. The business premises were located at Sandwirtgasse, later moving to 83 Gumpendorfer Straße. Michael’s son Adolf joined the business, later taking on the management of the firm until the company ceased trading in . n leaving the partnership Scheid moved next door to umpendorfer Stra e. The business proved to be extremely successful excelling in silver and enamel work, and employing up to three hundred workers at their manufacturing premises. As well as a talented silversmith and artist Scheid was also an astute businessman. In he open his own refinery where precious metal wastes could be rendered for re use. The plant was so productive that they exported refined precious metals worldwide. In Scheid was oined in partnership by his nephew and two sons Arthur and obert. The business had already participated in the Jubilee exhibition of 1889, and exhibited at the Paris 1900 Exposition Universelle. In 1911, at the age of 74, Scheid retired, his sons taking over the management of the company. World War I had a devastating effect on the business, with a total collapse in overseas trade and the dire economic situation in Austria and Germany leading to the liquidation of the part of the business involved in decorative silver and gold accessories, although the refinery continued to trade. Scheid died in and was buried in the family tomb at the Evangelischer riedhof Simmering ienna. In the refinery Scheid had founded was merged with the Ludwig Roessler GmbH, leading to the founding of Ögussa GmbH. Ogussa is still located at 85 Gumpendorfer Straße.

408 A French gold and enamel vesta case, circa 1900, of rectangular form with sloping sprung hinged lid, enamelled throughout, the front and reverse depicting images of Fanny LeGrand, in two different black gowns, front panel with artist’s monogram, dimensions 50 x 36 x 10mm. £500-£600
Reverse
The image to the reverse of the vesta case is after the oil painting by Italian artist Ignace Spiridon, painted in 1894, depicting Fanny LeGrand, the main character from the French author Alfonce Duadet’s novel ‘Sappho’ published in . The story was a thinly disguised autobiographical account of Daudet’s love affair with the notorious Parisian model-cum-courtesan, Marie Rieu, the story perhaps written as moral tale intended for his two sons to read when of age. In 1900, an American play of the same name, ‘Sapho’ (sic) was produced by Clyde Fitch, and based on the rench novel. The play caused a sensation in New York City leading to an indecency trial involving the play’s star and producer/ director, Olga Nethersole. The court case was ultimately considered to be a landmark case in the transformation of American society away from the Victorian morals of the past. Spiridon’s painting was used as the basis for the theatre posters advertising Olga Nethersole’s role in the play. The Broadway poster shows a more modest version of the dress length than seen in the original painting.

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.
