SU M M ARY OF I NFORMATI ON FO R BUY ERS

RE GIS T E RIN G TO BID New clients must register online to bid (whether in person or in absentia). This can be done via our website www.noonans.co.uk Registrations will be subject to due diligence and Noonans reserves the right to cancel registrations. Once registered, any client bidding for the first time online will need to enter their card details so that a security check can be performed to authorise you to bid (www.noonans.co.uk >Your Account > Account Authorisation). This check is secure, your card details are not seen by us and no funds will be deducted. BIDDING P RIORITY 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. P L ACIN G B IDS LIVE BIDDING VIA WWW.NOONANS.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.NOONANS.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. ADVANCE BIDDING VIA POST, EMAIL OR TELEPHONE Whilst we are still happy to execute all bids submitted to us using post, email 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 Noonans you may bid by email to bids@noonans.co.uk or by telephone to 020 7016 1700.

All bids placed by email or telephone must be received before 4 PM 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 Noonans. 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 collect your lots during the auction. SAL E RO O M N OTI CE S Should the description of a lot need to be amended after the publication of this catalogue, the amendments will appear automatically on the Noonans website, www.noonans.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. C ATA LO G UE I L LUSTR ATI O N S & THE I N T E RNE T Prospective bidders are reminded that the Noonans website features high-resolution colour illustrations of every lot in this auction. There may also be additional illustrations of any lot. B UYE R S’ PR E M I UM The rate for this sale is 24% of the Hammer Price (+ VAT where applicable). I M PO RTATI O N VAT Lots marked ‘X’ are subject to importation VAT 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 Noonans and subsequently imported into those countries. Although Noonans is unable to advise buyers on customs regulations in their country of domicile, there is further information regarding EU importation VAT rates for collectable items in the Terms and Conditions published on the Noonans website. ARTI STS R E SAL E R I G HTS ( D RO I T D E SU I T E ) Droit de Suite is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or their estate every time the artist’s work is sold at auction or by an art market professional during the artist’s lifetime and for a period of up to 70 years following the artist’s death. Royalties are calculated on a sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price. Lots subject to this royalty payment are marked with ARR in the catalogue.

TRE AT E D GE MS TONE S

PAYM E N T

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 Noonans cannot be held responsible for any discrepancies.

You may access your invoice shortly after the hammer has fallen on your last lot. As we weigh lots at the time of cataloguing most shipping is already calculated, enabling you to settle your account and receive your lots in a timely fashion. Auction attendees may pay and collect during the course of the auction as soon as they have bid on their last lot.

U NMOUN TED GEMS TON E S Please note that VAT at 20% is payable on the Hammer price for unmounted diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds. Relevant lots are marked with an asterisk *. See www.gov.uk/guidance/the-margin-andglobal-accounting-scheme-vat-notice E XPO RT OF ORGANIC MATERIAL S Organic materials, such as coral and tortoiseshell may be covered by CITES legislation and this may or may not impact export to other countries. Please be aware that it is the buyer’s responsibility to arrange for any CITES export licences for their purchases. Please see www.cites.org. In addition to CITES, mother-of-pearl, coral, and tortoiseshell, if imported into the USA, will be subject to USA Fish and Wildlife regulations. WATCH E S All watches are sold as viewed. Please note that watches with water-resistant cases have been opened to identify the movement and so will no longer be water-resistant unless a service to reseal the watch is undertaken at the buyer’s expense. Watches may have been repaired during the course of their lifetime and Noonans do not guarantee the authenticity of any individual component parts. In some circumstances we are unable to ship the watch with its strap due to certain import restrictions regarding material derived from endangered or protected species. P RICE S RE AL IS E D The hammer prices of lots sold at Noonans auctions are posted at www.noonans.co.uk in real time and telephone enquiries are welcome from 9 AM on the day after the auction.

Full Terms and Conditions of Business are available to read in the back of this catalogue and on our website.

The panther is a longstanding motif employed by Cartier. It first made its appearance in 1917 on a diamond, onyx and platinum cigarette case, designed by Louis Cartier as a gift to his lover (and later head designer at Cartier), Jeanne Toussaint. However the panther motif really found fame in the late 1940s when Cartier created several iconic panther jewels for the Duchess of Windsor (this being the first time that the panther was represented in its entirety); these items included a three-dimensional panther brooch of pavé sapphires and white and yellow diamonds, the big cat perched atop a 152.35 carat sapphire cabochon. The first double panther-head bangle made its debut in 1958 as a commission for Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, pavé set with diamonds, sapphires and emeralds. The panthere designs remain as popular today as they ever were and form an iconic collection of the house of Cartier.

Known for his witty and whimsical designs, Flato became one of the best known jewellers in New York, becoming early friends with Harry Winston and employing future luminaries such as David Webb and Duke Fulco di Verdura. In 1938, at the height of the Golden Age, Flato opened a boutique on Sunset Boulevard and firmly established himself as Hollywood’s first “Jeweller to the Stars”, creating jewels for legendary figures including Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn and Rita Hayworth. Flato’s surrealist designs often displayed levity and humour with a special nod to the wearer in question - one such example being a pair of miniature golden slippers made for the dancer Ginger Rogers. Often unsigned, as with many of Flato’s jewels, other pieces inspired by shoes and feet, include jewelled pom pom sandals, slippers and cowboy boots.

RENÉ BOIVIN Born into a family of Parisian jewellers in 1864, René Boivin joined the family firm at the age of seventeen. In 1893 he married Jeanne Poiret, sister to the famous French couturier Paul Poiret, and together they produced some of the most daring designs of the early 20th century. Upon her husband’s death in 1917, Jeanne assumed control of the company and established one of the first all female design companies in Paris. In 1919 Jeanne hired the young Suzanne Belperron and was later joined by her daughter, Germaine Boivin, and designer Juliette Moutard. The house became known for their unique geometrical and sculptural pieces, innovating the combination of coloured gemstones, textures, and dimensions.

A LATE 19TH CENTURY GOLD AND ENAMEL BRACELET, French, designed as a graduated series of circular enamel plaques, painted en grisaille with polychrome highlights and depicting theatrical profiles in costume, each within an intwined foliate gold surround with rose-cut ruby highlights, six enamels initialled ‘MP’, two signed ‘M. Puisoye’, French assay marks and maker’s mark ‘EM’, length 17cm. £4,000–£6,000

Jewels set with painted enamel plaques, inspired by the 16th century enamels of Limoges, became extremely fashionable in France during the second half of the nineteenth century. According to Vever, circular enamel plaques, such as those in this bracelet, were inspired by Renaissance hat-badges, or enseignes, often decorated with the wearer’s portrait, monogram, patron saint or other mythological or Biblical image. Similar circular ‘Limoges’ enamel portraits are illustrated in the Parisian jewellers’ pattern book, Le Bijou, from 1884. The Limoges technique is a form of painted enamel, often executed en grisaille, as here, on a blue or black ground. The effect is formed from layers built up through repeated firings until the desired shades are achieved and the polychrome highlights are added. The miniature painter and enamelist of this lot, Marie Puisoye (1855-1942), was a student of the great Claudius Popelin and worked with him from 1881 onwards. Popelin, a close friend and rumoured lover of Princess Mathilde Bonaparte, is celebrated as having revived the ‘Limoges’ technique during the nineteenth century and is famed for his enamels in the Renaissance taste. Popelin’s enthusiasm for the technique led him to publish a history of enamelling, entitled ‘L’Émail des peintres’, that inspired many jewellers to learn the art of enamelling, notably Paul Grandhomme. Popelin and his workshop are known to have collaborated in particular with Lucien Falize and Henri Vever. In 1893 Falize published his essay, ‘Claudius Popelin et la renaissance des émaux peints’, that celebrates the success of his friend within the circle of Parisian enamel painters. The workmanship and naturalistic design of this bracelet is indicative of Lucien Falize and his firm. For a similar chased gold bracelet and chased gold parure by Lucien Falize, both with painted enamels by Paul Grandhomme, see Vever, Henri, ‘French Jewellery of the 19th Century’, (trans. Purcell, Katherine), London, 2001, pp. 956 and 989.

AN ITALIAN SILVER CUFF RETAILED BY DUNHILL, MID 20TH CENTURY, the cuff formed of fluted panels with textured Florentine finish, set with alternating pink and blue gem-set highlights, each with engraved starburst detailing to the surround, stamped ‘DUNHILL’, ‘STERLING’, ‘925’ and ‘MADE IN FLORENCE’, length 19cm. £400–£600 The ‘Florentine finish’ is a specialist technique little known outside of traditional Italian workshops. The engraving of tiny cross-hatched lines across silver or gold transforms the surface of the material and creates an almost matte or ‘frosted’ finish. The effect is extremely difficult to achieve and requires not only strength to engrave, but acute hand eye co-ordination to ensure the lines are perpendicular and also a consistent application of pressure to ensure an even surface texture. The ‘Florentine finish’ is particularly associated with the Italian jewellery firm of Buccellati.

BUCCELL ATI Mario Buccellati was the founder of one of Italy’s greatest jewellery houses. Born in 1891 into a family of goldsmiths, Mario Buccellati was apprenticed to the jewellers Beltrami & Bernati in Milan. After the First World War, in 1919, the former ‘apprentice’ took over the firm, renaming the company with the family name, the jewellery store located at Largo Santa Margherita, near La Scala Theatre and Milan cathedral. Inspired by the arts of the Italian Renaissance, Buccellati were unusual in that all the processes for producing a jewel were performed in one workshop, from the original design to the finished piece. Mario introduced various methods of textureengraving, often using mixed metals of silver and gold, or platinum and gold. The different engraving techniques are called rigato (parallel lines cut on to the surface of metal to obtain a sheen effect), telato (texture, obtained by fine cross-hatched lines imitating the texture of linen), segrinato (engraving in every direction with overlapping textures), ornato (decoration

based on natural forms such as animals, leaves and flowers), and modellato (the most delicate engraving technique reproducing several designs chiselled in three dimensions, mainly used for decorative borders). When the process is complete, the finish will often resemble a fine fabric - linen, lace or silk. Mario’s work was widely acclaimed at the 1920 Exposition in Madrid where his entire collection was sold. His prestigious clientele included the Royal families of Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, popes, cardinals and intellectuals, as well as musicians, writers and famous artists. The renowned Italian poet, Gabriele D’Annunzio, friend and client of Mario, described him as the ‘Prince of Goldsmiths’.

284

Mario opened two boutiques, one in Rome in 1925 and one in Florence four years later. In 1951, Mario and his son Luca opened their first store in New York, with another following, on 5th Avenue, in 1954. In 1965, after the death of Mario, the management of the firm was conducted by four of his five sons. In 1971, the new separate brand Gianmaria Buccellati was launched by Gianmaria, who would go on to open stores around the world, including the Place Vendome in Paris. Gianmaria also established the Italian Gemological Institute, IGI, in 1973, remaining it’s president for the next quarter century. In 2011, the two firms of Mario Buccellati and Gianmaria Buccellati merged to form the single firm of Buccellati.

FORMERLY THE PROPERTY OF HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS MARGARET, COUNTESS OF SNOWDON

302

AN ART DECO DIAMOND BROOCH, CIRCA 1930, the openwork cartouche of geometric design with pointed terminals formed of pleated folds, set throughout with old brilliant, single and baguette-cut diamonds, mounted in platinum, the reverse with applied plaque stamped ‘PLATINUM’, later fitted Cartier case, total diamond weight approximately 6.10 carats, length 6.8cm. £6,000–£8,000 Provenance: Sotheby’s, Property of Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, lot 222, sale 14 June 1979. Accompanied by the original Sotheby’s purchase receipt and catalogue, and two press cuttings from The Telegraph dated 25 May 1979 and 15 June 1979. The lot was purchased by the vendor directly from Sotheby’s in 1979.

Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret Rose, (1930-2002) was the younger daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York and sister to Princess Elizabeth, now Queen Elizabeth II. Born at Glamis, the ancestral home of the Duchess of York, the Princess was the first royal baby to be born in Scotland since the year 1600. The family lived in London Piccadilly until 1936, when the abdication of King Edward VIII and the ascension of the Duke of York to King George VI, moved the family to Buckingham Palace and the residences of Windsor Castle, Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle. Now second in line to the throne, Princess Margaret was to live her life in the public eye, becoming one of the world’s most celebrated socialites, iconised for her striking beauty, style and taste.

From an early age the Princess fully engaged with the Royal Family’s public work and went on to become patron or president of over eighty organisations. With a particular interest in the fields of welfare and the arts, her roles ranged from President of the National Society and Royal Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children to Honorary Doctor of Music at London University and President of the Royal Ballet. On 6 May 1960 the Princess married the photographer Anthony Armstrong-Jones at Westminster Abbey. The following year he was created Earl of Snowdon and Viscount Linley. The couple, residing at Kensington Palace, went on to have two children; Lord Linley, born 3 November 1961 and Lady Sarah Chatto, born 1 May 1964. The marriage of Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon was dissolved in May 1978. The following year, Princess Margaret sold a collection of seven personal jewels at Sotheby’s, comprising five brooches, one pendant and a pair of earrings, this Art Deco brooch being one of the items offered for sale. The collection raised £11,000. Princess Margaret wearing Lot 302 with the Poltimore tiara and Queen Mary’s diamond rivière necklace in 1962 at Buckingham Palace

Princess Margaret’s love of jewellery, and brooches in particular, was evident throughout her life, always accessorising her outfits with carefully chosen examples. The Princess favoured this diamond brooch for numerous state functions and special engagements throughout the 1950s and 60s, usually pinning the brooch to the blue sash of the Royal Victorian Order, on her right shoulder, and wearing alongside several important Royal jewels. Princess Margaret was appointed Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order ahead of Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation in June 1953. In 1956 Princess Margaret departed London for a five-week official tour of East Africa. At a banquet in Port Louis, Mauritius, the Princess is photographed wearing this brooch together with the Cartier rose brooch, Queen Mary’s diamond rivière and the Cartier Halo tiara. In 1958 Princess Margaret attended a banquet celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Royal Air Force and wore this brooch again with Queen Mary’s diamond rivière and the Cartier Halo tiara. Princess Margaret purchased the Poltimore tiara for her wedding in 1960 and it is perhaps this tiara in particular that became famously associated with her. On 10 July 1962, Princess Margaret is photographed at Buckingham Palace dressed in a pink satin evening gown and wearing the Royal Victorian Order with this diamond brooch, the Poltimore tiara and again her favourite necklace, Queen Mary’s rivière. Later that year, in August, Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon visited the Caribbean island of Jamaica, where the Princess represented her sister Queen Elizabeth II at the island’s celebrations of Independence, gained after more than 300 years of British rule. On 6 August, Princess Margaret opened the first session of the Jamaican Parliament in Kingston, again wearing this brooch on her right shoulder over the Royal Victorian Order, with the Lotus Flower tiara to her hair.

Black, Starr & Frost is the oldest continuously operating jeweller in America, founded in 1810 by Isaac Marquand. Marilyn Monroe referred to the brand in the song “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” in the 1953 film “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” The large Roman numerals lining the dial and extending across the interior was a design innovation patented by J. Vergely of Paris in 1925, in order to make the time easier to read. For a similar example by Cartier see: Le Temps De Cartier, J. Barracca, G. Negretti & F. Nencini, (1989), p.177.

WATCHES FROM THE COLLEC TION OF THE L ATE BOB CULLING (1941–2019) Robert ‘Bob’ Culling was a passionate collector of military watches. His interest in watches began when he was 15 years old, but it was not until he retired from his 32 year career as a British Telecommunications engineer, that he was able to fulfil his dream of forming his own collection and furthering his knowledge of military history, a subject he had always enjoyed as a child. Initially focusing on German military watches from the Second World War, his interests moved on to British and American military watches, ultimately accumulating an impressive selection. Noonans had the pleasure of offering the Culling Collection of Military Watches for sale in 2020, which proved to be highly successful.

Archibald Knox (1864-1933), born and trained on the Isle of Man, came to London in the late 1890s, and was to become the principal silver and pewter designer for Liberty & Co from 1899-1912. Steeped in the Celtic tradition of design from his Manx upbringing, he refined and purified the Celtic style to portray a personal version of Celtic ornament which was to become idiosyncratic with his style. His Cymric and Tudric designs became market leaders for Liberty’s. The Liberty company policy of enforced anonymity of its designers may have been a welcome rule to Knox, being a shy man, of ‘personal modesty’, who, during the height of the craze for Liberty’s Celtic Revival Style, left London, preferring to work from his studio on the Isle of Man between the years 1900-1904, and sending his designs, drawn on paper, to London by post to be translated into metal by craftsmen in Birmingham. This long distance arrangement appeared to have suited all concerned parties, probably because of Knox’s solid and reliable record and Arthur Lasenby Liberty’s trust in his work. By 1908-9, the demand for Liberty’s Celtic Revival style began to subside, and by 1910, the movement in England was essentially over. After 1912, Knox ceased to work for Liberty’s, moving overseas to Philadephia. Literature: Tilbrook, A. J., The Designs of Archibald Knox for Liberty & Co., Ornament Press, 1976.

AN EARLY 20TH CENTURY FRENCH ENAMEL AND MOTHER-OFPEARL PARASOL HANDLE, formed of tapered and polished motherof-pearl, with pink guilloché enamel collar and handle, with white enamel borders and mother-of-pearl inset to the base within a surround of seed pearls and pink gemstones, mounted in silver, indistinct partial assay marks, numbered ‘0444’, in original tooled leather case by A.

The use of translucent pink enamel over an engine-turned ground between borders of opaque white enamel is seen on many objets, clocks and jewels by Cartier during the Belle Epoque. Inspired by the enamels of Fabergé, these works were originally supplied to Cartier by workshops in St. Petersburg and Moscow, before Cartier Paris started producing their own Russian inspired pieces circa 1906.

Every bidder shall be deemed to act as principal unless there is in force a written acknowledgement by Noonans Auctions Ltd. (“Noonans”) 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 Noonans’ published bidding increments which may be found at noonans.co.uk and in the bidding form included with the auction catalogue. 3 The premium The buyer shall pay to Noonans a premium of 24% on the ‘hammer price’ and agrees that Noonans, when acting as agent for the seller, may also receive commission from the seller in accordance with Condition 16. 4 Value Added Tax (VAT) The buyers’ premium is subject to the current rate of Value Added Tax if the lot is delivered to or collected by the purchaser within the UK. Lots marked ‘X’ are subject to importation VAT of 5% on the hammer price unless re-exported outside the UK. 5.

Please note that we will not accept cash payments in excess of £5,000 (five thousand pounds) in settlement for purchases made at any one auction. 7 Noonans 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’. 8 Any payments by a buyer to Noonans may be applied by Noonans towards any sums owing from that buyer to Noonans on any account whatever, without regard to any directions of the buyer, his or her agent, whether expressed or implied. 9 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 Noonans of the ‘total amount due’ in pounds sterling. 10 (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 Noonans 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 Noonans staff is undertaken solely as a courtesy to clients and, in the case of fragile articles, will be undertaken only at Noonans’ discretion. In no event will Noonans 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. 11 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 Noonans 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 Noonans to destinations outside the UK, unless specifically instructed otherwise by the consignee. 12 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, Noonans 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 Noonans 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 Noonans’ 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 Noonans’ possession for any purpose. 13 Liability of Noonans 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 Noonans under this Condition, none of the seller, Noonans, 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 Noonans, 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 Noonans 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 Noonans 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 Noonans in respect of the lot sold. CO N DITIONS M AINLY CONCERN ING SE L L E R S AND CO NS IGNOR S 14 Warranty of title and availability The seller warrants to Noonans 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 Noonans, 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. 15 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 Noonans. Noonans 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. 16 Authority to deduct commission and expenses The seller authorises Noonans to deduct commission at the ‘stated rate’ and ‘expenses’ from the ‘hammer price’ and acknowledges Noonans’ right to retain the premium payable by the buyer. 17 Rescission of sale If before Noonans remit the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller, the buyer makes a claim to rescind the sale that is appropriate and Noonans is of the opinion that the claim is justified, Noonans is authorised to rescind the sale and refund to the buyer any amount paid to Noonans in respect of the lot. 18 Payment of sale proceeds Noonans shall remit the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller 35 days after the auction, but if by that date Noonans has not received the ‘total amount due’ from the buyer then Noonans 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 Noonans and the buyer, Noonans shall remit to the seller the sale proceeds 35 days after the auction unless otherwise agreed by the seller. 19 If the buyer fails to pay to Noonans the ‘total amount due’ within 3 weeks after the auction, Noonans will endeavour to notify the seller and take the seller’s instructions as to the appropriate course of action and, so far as in Noonans’ opinion is practicable, will assist the seller to recover the ‘total amount due’ from the buyer. If circumstances do not permit Noonans to take instructions from the seller, the seller authorises Noonans 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 Noonans 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. 20 If, notwithstanding that, the buyer fails to pay to Noonans the ‘total amount due’ within three weeks after the auction and Noonans remits the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller, the ownership of the lot shall pass to Noonans. 21 Charges for withdrawn lots Where a seller cancels instructions for sale, Noonans reserve the right to charge a fee of 15 per cent of Noonans’ 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. 22 Rights to photographs and illustrations The seller gives Noonans 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). 23 Unsold lots Where any lot fails to sell, Noonans shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot. 24 Noonans 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. GENE RA L CO N D I TI O N S AN D DE FIN IT I O N S 25 Noonans 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. 26 Any representation or statement by Noonans, 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 Noonans nor its servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. 27 Whilst the interests of prospective buyers are best served by attendance at the auction, Noonans will, if so instructed, execute bids on their behalf. Neither Noonans nor its servants or agents are responsible for any neglect or default in doing so or for failing to do so. 28 Noonans shall have the right, at its discretion, to refuse admission to its premises or attendance at its auctions by any person. 29 Noonans 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.

30 (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) Noonans 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. 31 Any notice by Noonans 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. 32 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. Noonans 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. 33 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 Noonans by the seller in whatever capacity and howsoever arising; (f) ‘stated rate’ means Noonans’ published rates of commission for the time and any Value Added Tax thereon; (g) ‘expenses’ in relation to the sale of any lot means Noonans charges and expenses for insurance, illustrations, special advertising, certification, remedials, 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. 34 Vendors’ commission of sales A commission of 15 per cent is payable by the vendor on the hammer price on lots sold. Insurance is charged at 1.5 per cent of the hammer price. 35 VAT Commission, illustrations, insurance and expenses are subject to VAT if the seller is resident in the UK.
