Introduction to our Auctions
The Auctioneer acts only as agent for the Seller. Accordingly, Sellers need not be paid until payment is received from the Buyer, nor is the Auctioneer necessarily able to know the history of or assess the quality of lots sold on behalf of these principals.

All lots are sold as seen and are likely to have been subject to wear and tear caused by use or the effects of age and may, therefore, have faults and imperfections.

At viewing times, buyers are given opportunity at viewing times and will be assumed to have done so. In addition, condition reports are available via the ‘Ask a Question’ link on the online listing and email. Buyers must rely solely on their own judgement as to whether lots are fit for any particular purpose, and as to compliance with the description or illustrations.

Conditions of Sale

The following Conditions of Sale together with the Notice to Buyers that may be displayed in the saleroom or in any catalogue, the Seller Conditions of Sale on the reverse of the entry form and the usual Conditions of Sale on display in the auctioneers premises shall govern the sale of each Lot and any person making a successful bid shall be deemed to be bound thereby:-


1. Conduct of the Auction
1.1 The Auctioneer (which expression includes their employees) offers each Lot as agent of the Seller unless otherwise stated in the catalogue or at the time of sale.

1.2 Any Lot may be the subject of a reserve price. Should the Auctioneer in any circumstances sell any Lot under reserve price, they shall be at liberty to cancel the sale even if the Lot has been paid for and delivery given, and upon refund of the purchase price (if paid) neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer shall be under any further liability whatsoever to the Buyer.

1.3 The Seller or their representative or the Auctioneer on their behalf may bid up to the reserve price on any Lot.

1.4 The Auctioneer may at any time before the fall of the hammer withdraw or divide any Lot or combine any Lots.

1.5 The Auctioneer may sell any Lot by private sale after the auction, or prior to the auction with the Seller’s agreement.

1.6 The Auctioneer may refuse to accept any bid at their sole discretion and without being required to give a reason.

1.7 The Buyer shall be the person who made the highest bid before the fall of the hammer or such other person as the Auctioneer may declare to be the Buyer without being required to give a reason.

1.8 Unless the Auctioneer has previously acknowledged in writing that anyone bids as Agent on behalf of a named principal, every person who bids shall be taken to bid on their own behalf as principal.

1.9 If the Auctioneer has already acknowledged in writing that anyone bids as Agent on behalf of a named principal, that person warrants that he has the authority of their principal to make each bid he makes.

1.10 Neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer shall be bound by any sub-sale or assignment or split of the purchase contract and the highest bidder, and thus the Buyer shall be alone responsible for the discharge of the purchase price to the Auctioneer.

1.11 The Auctioneer may decide whether there is a dispute between bids, may summarily determine the dispute or immediately again offer the Lot for sale, in each case without being required to give a reason.

1.12 The Auctioneer undertakes that care has been taken to see that descriptions are accurate and reliable, but these are necessarily matters of opinion only and shall not be taken to be statements of fact. Neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer are responsible for the correctness of any description of any lot or its attribution in any manner to any particular originator.

2. After the Auction
2.1 Upon the Auctioneer declaring any Lot sold the Buyer shall pay:
a) the purchase price for the Lot or Lots purchased

4.1 If the Buyer has failed to pay the sums specified in Clause 2.1 by the expiry of the time specified in Clause 2.2 or by any extension granted in Clause 2.3 or to remove any Lot by the time specified in Clause 3.2 the Auctioneer may rescind the sale of that Lot and that Lot may be resold by auction or privately.

4.3 If the Auctioneer has rescinded the sale and the Lot has been resold, the Buyer shall make good any deficiency in the sale price less the resale price together with the costs of and incidental to the resale.
4.4 If the buyer fails to collect the Lot within the time specified in clause 3.2, and comply with clause xxx relating to storage of items, the auctioneer will deem the Lot to be abandoned, and dispose of it as they see fit.
5. Liabilities and Indemnities
5.1 The Auctioneer warrants that they believe that the Seller of each Lot is able to pass good title and if the Seller is not able to do so, the Auctioneer shall use their reasonable endeavours to assist the Buyer in obtaining good title and in pursuing any remedies the Buyer may have against the Seller but the Auctioneer shall not be bound to initiate litigation and shall not be under any other obligation to the Buyer.

5.2 The Auctioneer neither has nor professes any expert or other knowledge of any Lot sold and each Lot is sold as seen with all faults and errors or mistakes of description and all written or oral representations as to description, quality or fitness are excluded. The Buyer shall be deemed to have inspected the Lot they buy and if they buy without so doing they shall do so at their own risk.

6. Waivers
