NOTICE TO BIDDERS
This notice is addressed by Turner & Sons to any person who may be interested in a Lot, including Bidders and potential Bidders (including any eventual Buyer of the Lot). For ease of reference, we refer to such persons as “Bidders” or “you”. Our List of Definitions and Glossary is incorporated into this Notice to Bidders. It is at Appendix 3 Where words and phrases are used in this notice which are in the List of Definitions, they are printed in italics.

IMPORTANT: Additional information applicable to the Sale may be set out in the Catalogue for the Sale, in an insert in the Catalogue and/or in a notice displayed at the Sale venue and you should read them as well. Announcements affecting the Sale may also be given out orally before and during the Sale without prior written notice. You should be alert to the possibility of changes and ask in advance of bidding if there have been any.

1. OUR ROLE
In its role as Auctioneer of Lots, Turner & Sons acts solely for and in the interests of the Seller. Turner & Sons’ job is to sell the Lot at the highest price obtainable at the Sale to a Bidder. Turner & Sons does not act for Buyers or Bidders in this role and does not give advice to Buyers or Bidders. When it or its staff make statements about a Lot or, if Turner & Sons provides a Condition Report on a Lot it is doing that on behalf of the Seller of the Lot. Bidders and Buyers who are themselves not expert in
the Lots are strongly advised to seek and obtain independent advice on the Lots and their value before bidding for them. The Seller has authorised Turner & Sons to sell the Lot as its agent on its behalf and, save where we expressly make it clear to the contrary, Turner & Sons acts only as agent for the Seller. Any statement or representation we make in respect of a Lot is made on the Seller’s behalf and, unless Turner & Sons sells a Lot as principal, not on our behalf and any Contract for Sale is between the Buyer and the Seller and not with us. If Turner & Sons sells a Lot as principal this will either be stated in the Catalogue or an announcement to that effect will be made by the Auctioneer, or it will be stated in a notice at the Sale or an insert in the Catalogue. Turner & Sons does not owe or undertake or agree to any duty or responsibility to you in contract or tort (whether direct, collateral, express, implied or otherwise). If you successfully bid for a Lot and buy it, at that stage Turner & Sons does enter into an agreement with the Buyer. The terms of that contract are set out in our Buyer’s Agreement, which you will find at Appendix 2. This will govern Turner & Sons’ relationship with the Buyer.

2. LOTS
Subject to the Contractual Description printed in bold letters in the Entry about the Lot in the Catalogue (see paragraph 3 below), Lots are sold to the Buyer on an “as is” basis, with all faults and imperfections. Illustrations and photographs contained in the Catalogue (other than photographs forming part of the Contractual Description) or elsewhere of any Lots are for identification purposes only. They may not reveal the
true condition of the Lot. A photograph or illustration may not reflect an accurate reproduction of the colour(s) of the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the Sale and it is for you to satisfy yourself as to each and every aspect of a Lot, including its authorship, attribution, condition, provenance, history, background, authenticity, style, period, age, suitability, quality, roadworthiness (if relevant), origin, value and estimated selling price (including the Hammer Price). It is your responsibility
to examine any Lot in which you are interested. It should be remembered that the actual condition of a Lot may not be as good as that indicated by its outward appearance. In particular, parts may have been replaced or renewed and Lots may not
be authentic or of satisfactory quality; the inside of a Lot may not be visible and may not be original or may be damaged, as for example where it is covered by upholstery or material. Given the age of many Lots they may have been damaged and/ or repaired and you should not assume that a Lot is in good condition. Electronic or mechanical parts may not operate or may not comply with current statutory requirements. You should not assume that electrical items designed to operate on mains electricity will be suitable for connection to the mains electricity supply and you should obtain a report from a qualified electrician on their status before doing so. Such items which are unsuitable for connection are sold as items of interest for display purposes only. If you yourself do not have expertise regarding a Lot, you should consult someone who does to advise you. Please ask our staff for details.
Any person who damages a Lot will be held liable for the loss caused.

3. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS AND ESTIMATES
Contractual Description of a Lot
The Catalogue contains an Entry about each Lot. Each Lot is sold by its respective Seller to the Buyer of the Lot as corresponding only with that part of the Entry which is printed in bold letters and (except for the colour, which may be inaccurately reproduced) with any photograph of the Lot in the Catalogue. The remainder of the Entry, which is not printed in bold letters, represents Turner & Sons’ opinion (given on behalf of the Seller) about the Lot only and is not part of the Contractual Description in accordance with which the Lot is sold by the Seller.

Estimates
In most cases, an Estimate is printed beside the Entry. Estimates are only an expression of Turner & Sons’ opinion made on behalf
of the Seller of the range where Turner & Sons thinks the Hammer Price for the Lot is likely to fall; it is not an Estimate of value. It does not take into account any VAT or Buyer’s Premium payable. Lots can in fact sell for Hammer Prices below and
above the Estimate. Any Estimate should not be relied on as an indication of the actual selling price or value of a Lot. Estimates are in the currency of the Sale.

The Seller’s responsibility to you
The Seller does not make or agree to make any representation of fact or contractual promise, Guarantee or warranty and undertakes no obligation or duty, whether in contract or in tort (other than to the eventual Buyer as set out above), in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any statement
or representation made by him or on his behalf, which is in any way descriptive of any Lot or as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot. Other than as set out above, no statement or representation in any way descriptive of a Lot or any Estimate is incorporated into any Contract for Sale between a Seller and a Buyer.

Turner & Sons’ responsibility to you
You have the opportunity of examining the Lot if you want to and the Contract for Sale for a Lot is with the Seller and not with Turner & Sons; Turner & Sons acts as the Seller’s agent only (unless Turner & Sons sells the Lot as principal). Turner & Sons undertakes no obligation to you to examine, investigate or carry out any tests, either in sufficient depth or at all, on each Lot to establish the accuracy or otherwise of any Descriptions or opinions given by Turner & Sons, or by any person on Turner & Sons’ behalf, whether in the Catalogue or elsewhere. You should not suppose that such examinations, investigations or tests have occurred. Turner & Sons does not make or agree to make any representation of fact, and undertakes no obligation or duty (whether in contract or tort) in respect of the accuracy or completeness
of any statement or representation made by Turner & Sons or on Turner & Sons’ behalf which is in any way descriptive of any Lot or as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot. No statement or representation by Turner & Sons or on its behalf in any way descriptive of any Lot or any Estimate is incorporated into our Buyer’s Agreement.

Alterations
Descriptions and Estimates may be amended at Turner & Sons’ discretion from time to time by notice given orally or in writing before or during a Sale. THE LOT IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AND YOU MUST FORM YOUR OWN OPINION IN RELATION TO IT. YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO EXAMINE ANY LOT OR HAVE IT EXAMINED ON YOUR BEHALF BEFORE THE SALE.

4. CONDUCT OF THE SALE
Our Sales are public auctions which persons may attend, and you should take the opportunity to do so. We do reserve the right at our sole discretion to refuse admission to our premises or to any Sale without stating a reason. We have complete discretion as to whether the Sale proceeds, whether any Lot is included in the Sale, the manner in which the Sale is conducted, and we may offer Lots for Sale in any order we choose notwithstanding the numbers given to Lots in the Catalogue. You should therefore check the date and starting time of the Sale, whether there have been any withdrawals or late entries. Remember that withdrawals and late entries may affect the time at which a Lot you are interested in is put up for Sale. We have complete discretion to refuse any bid, to nominate any bidding increment we consider appropriate, to divide any Lot, to combine two or more Lots, to withdraw any Lot from a Sale and, before the Sale has been closed, to put up any Lot for auction again. Auction speeds can exceed 100 Lots to the hour and bidding increments are generally about 10%. However, these do vary from Sale to Sale and from Auctioneer to Auctioneer. Where a Reserve has been applied to a Lot, the Auctioneer may, in his absolute discretion, place bids (up to an amount not equalling or exceeding such Reserve) on behalf of the Seller. We are not responsible to you in respect of the presence or absence of any Reserve in respect of any Lot. If there is a Reserve it will normally be no higher than the lower figure for any Estimate in the Catalogue, The Buyer will be the Bidder who makes the highest bid acceptable to the Auctioneer for any Lot (subject to any applicable Reserve) to whom the Lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer at the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer. Any dispute as to the highest acceptable bid will be settled by the Auctioneer in his absolute discretion. All bids tendered will relate to the actual Lot number announced by the Auctioneer. We may use video cameras to record the Sale.

5. BIDDING
We do not accept bids from any person who has not completed and delivered to us one of our Bidding Forms, either our Bidder Registration Form, Absentee Bidding Form or Telephone Bidding Form. You will be asked for proof of
identity, residence, and references, which, when asked for, you must supply if your bids are to be accepted by us. Please bring your passport, driving licence (or similar photographic proof
of identity) and proof of address. We may request a deposit from you before allowing you to bid. We may refuse entry to a Sale to any person even if that person has completed a Bidding Form.


Bidding by post or fax
Absentee Bidding Forms should be completed and sent to the office responsible for the Sale. It is in your interests to return your form as soon as possible, as if two or more Bidders submit identical bids for a Lot, the first bid received takes preference. In any event, all bids should be received at least 30 minutes before the start of the Sale. Please check your Absentee Bidding Form carefully before returning it to us, fully completed and signed by you. It is your responsibility to check with our Bids Office that your bid has been received. This additional service is complimentary and is confidential. Such bids are made at your own risk and we cannot accept liability for our failure to receive and/or place any such bids. All bids made
on your behalf will be made at the lowest level possible subject to Reserves and other bids made for the Lot. Where appropriate your bids will be rounded down to the nearest amount consistent with the Auctioneer’s bidding increments. New Bidders must also provide proof of identity and address when submitting bids. Failure to do this will result in your bid not being placed.

Bidding via the internet
Please visit our website at www.turnersauctions.co for details of how to bid via the internet.

Bidding through an agent
Bids will be accepted as placed on behalf of the person named as the principal on the Bidding Form although we may refuse to accept bids from an agent on behalf of a principal and will require written confirmation from the principal confirming
the agent’s authority to bid. Nevertheless, as the Bidding Form explains, any person placing a bid as agent on behalf of another (whether or not he has disclosed that fact or the identity of his principal) will be jointly and severally liable with the principal to the Seller and to Turner & Sons under any contract resulting from the acceptance of a bid. Subject to the above, please let us know if you are acting on behalf of another person when bidding for Lots at the Sale.Equally, please let us know if you intend to nominate another person to bid on your behalf at the Sale unless this is to be carried out by us pursuant to a Telephone or Absentee Bidding Form that you have completed. If we do not approve the agency arrangements in writing before the Sale, we are entitled to assume that the person bidding at the Sale is bidding on his own behalf. Accordingly, the person bidding at the Sale will be the Buyer and will be liable to pay the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium and associated charges. If we approve the identity of your client in advance, we will be in a position to address the invoice to your principal rather than you. We will require proof of the agent’s client’s identity and residence in advance of any bids made by the agent on his behalf. Please refer to our Conditions of Business and contact our Customer Services Department for further details.

6. CONTRACTS BETWEEN THE BUYER AND SELLER AND THE BUYER AND TURNER & SONS

On the Lot being knocked down to the Buyer, a Contract for Sale of the Lot will be entered into between the Seller and the Buyer on the terms of the Contract for Sale set out in Appendix 1. You will be liable to pay the Purchase Price, which is the Hammer Price plus any applicable VAT. At the same time, a separate contract is also entered into between us as Auctioneers and the Buyer. This
is our Buyer’s Agreement, the terms of which are set out in Appendix 2. Please read the terms of the Contract for Sale and our Buyer’s Agreement contained in the Catalogue in case you are the successful Bidder. We may change the terms of either or both of these agreements in advance of their being entered into, by setting out different terms in the Catalogue and/or by placing an insert in the Catalogue and/or by notices at the Sale venue and/or by oral announcements before and during the Sale. You should be alert to this possibility of changes and ask if there have been any.



7. BUYER’S PREMIUM AND OTHER CHARGES PAYABLE BY THE BUYER
Under the Buyer’s Agreement, a premium (the Buyer’s Premium) is payable to us by the Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Buyer’s Agreement and at rates set out below, calculated by reference to the Hammer Price and payable in addition to it. Storage charges and Expenses are also payable by the Buyer as set out in the Buyer’s Agreement. All the sums payable to us by the Buyer are subject to VAT. For this Sale the following rates of Buyer’s Premium will be payable by Buyers of Lots:
16.67% (20% including VAT) up to £50,000 of the Hammer Price
12.50% (15% Including VAT) from £50,001 to £1,000,000 of the Hammer Price
On certain Lots, which will be marked “AR” in the Catalogue and which are sold for a Hammer Price of €1,000 or greater (converted into the currency of the Sale using the European Central Bank Reference rate prevailing on the date of the Sale), the Additional Premium will be payable to us by the Buyer to cover our Expenses relating to the payment of royalties under the Artists Resale Right Regulations 2006. The Additional Premium will be a percentage of the amount of the Hammer Price calculated in accordance with the table below and shall not exceed €12,500 (converted into the currency of the Sale using the European Central Bank Reference rate prevailing on the date of the Sale).
Hammer Price Percentage amount
From €0 to €50,000 3.5%
From €50,000.01 to €200,000 2.5%
8. VAT
The prevailing rate of VAT at the time of going to press is 20%, but this is subject to government change and the rate payable will be the rate in force on the date of the Sale.
The following symbols are used to denote that VAT is due on the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium:
† VAT at the prevailing rate on Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium
Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer’s Premium
G Gold bullion exempt from VAT on the Hammer Price and subject to VAT at the prevailing rate on the Buyer’s Premium
• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer’s Premium

In all other instances no VAT will be charged on the Hammer Price, but VAT at the prevailing rate will be added to Buyer’s Premium which will be invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis.

9. PAYMENT
It is of critical importance that you ensure that you have readily available funds to pay the Purchase Price and the Buyer’s Premium (plus VAT and any other charges and Expenses to us) in full before making a bid for the Lot.

13. THE SELLERS AND/OR TURNER & SONS’ LIABILITY
Other than any liability of the Seller to the Buyer of a Lot under the Contract for Sale, neither we nor the Seller are liable (whether in negligence or otherwise) for any error or misdescription or omission in any Description of a Lot or any Estimate in respect of it, whether contained in the Catalogue or otherwise, whether given orally or in writing and whether given before or during the Sale. Neither we nor the Seller will be liable for any loss of Business, profits, revenue or income, or for loss of reputation, or for disruption to Business or wasted time on the part of management or staff, or for indirect losses or consequential damages of any kind, irrespective in any case of the nature, volume or source of the loss or damage alleged to be suffered, and irrespective of whether the said loss or damage is caused by or claimed in respect of any negligence, other tort, breach of contract (if any) or statutory duty, restitutionary claim or otherwise. In any circumstances where we and/or the Seller are liable in relation to any Lot or any Description or Estimate made of any Lot, or the conduct of any Sale in relation to any Lot, whether in damages, for an indemnity or contribution, or for a restitutionary remedy or otherwise, our and/or the Seller’s liability (combined, if both we and the Seller are liable) will be limited to payment of a sum which will not exceed by way of maximum the amount of the Purchase Price of the Lot irrespective in any case of the nature, volume or source of any loss or damage alleged to be suffered or sum claimed as due, and irrespective of whether the liability arises from any negligence, other tort, breach
of contract (if any) or statutory duty or otherwise. Nothing set out above will be construed as excluding or restricting (whether directly or indirectly) our liability or excluding or restricting any person’s rights or remedies in respect of (i) fraud, or (ii) death or personal injury caused by our negligence (or by the negligence of any person under our control or for whom we are legally responsible), or (iii) acts or omissions for which we are liable under the Occupiers Liability Act 1957, or (iv) any other liability to the extent the same may not be excluded or restricted as a matter of law or (v) our undertakings under paragraphs 9 (in relation to specialist Stamp or Book Sales only) and 10 of the Buyer’s agreement. The same applies in respect of the Seller, as if references to us in this paragraph were substituted with references to the Seller.

14. BOOKS
As stated above, all Lots are sold on an “as is” basis, subject to all faults, imperfections and errors of Description save as set out below. However, you will be entitled to reject a Book in the circumstances set out in paragraph 11 of the Buyers Agreement. Please note that Lots comprising printed Books, unframed maps and bound manuscripts are not liable to VAT on the Buyer’s Premium.

15. CLOCKS AND WATCHES
All Lots are sold “as is”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply that the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches have been repaired in the course of their normal lifetime and may now incorporate parts not original to them. Furthermore, Turner & Sons makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Bidders should be aware that the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches may not be shipped to the USA and can only be imported personally.

Taxidermy and Related Items
As a Seller of these articles, Turner & Sons undertakes to comply fully with Cites and DEFRA regulations. Buyers are advised to inform themselves of all such regulations and should expect the exportation of items to take some time to arrange.
FURNITURE
16. Upholstered Furniture
Whilst we take every care in cataloguing furniture which has been upholstered, we offer no Guarantee as to the originality of the wood covered by fabric or upholstery.
17. JEWELLERY
˜ Ruby and Jadeite
Ruby and jadeite gemstones of Burmese (Myanmar) origin may not be imported into the US. Rubies and jadeite of non–Burmese origin require certification before import into the US and it is the Buyer’s responsibility to obtain all relevant and required export/import licences, certificates and documentation before shipping. Failure by the Buyer to successfully import goods into the US does not constitute grounds for non-payment or cancellation of Sale. Turner & Sons will not be responsible for any additional costs in this regard howsoever incurred.

Gemstones
Historically many gemstones have been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance. Sapphires and rubies are routinely heat treated to improve their colour and clarity, similarly emeralds are frequently treated with oils or resin for the same purpose. Other treatments such as staining, irradiation or coating may have been used on other gemstones. These treatments may be permanent, whilst others may need special care or re-treatment over the years to retain their appearance. Bidders should be aware that Estimates assume that gemstones may have been subjected to such treatments. A number of laboratories issue certificates that give more detailed Descriptions of gemstones. However, there may not be consensus between different laboratories on the degrees, or types of treatment for any particular gemstone. In the event that Turner & Sons has been given or has obtained certificates for any Lot in the Sale these certificates will be disclosed in the Catalogue. Although, as a matter of policy, Turner & Sons
endeavours to provide certificates from recognised laboratories for certain gemstones, it is not feasible to obtain certificates for each Lot. In the event that no certificate is published in the Catalogue, Bidders should assume that the gemstones may have been treated. Neither Turner & Sons nor the Seller accepts any liability for contradictions or differing certificates obtained by Buyers on any Lots subsequent to the Sale.

Estimated Weights
If a stone(s) weight appears within the body of the Description in capital letters, the stone(s) has been unmounted and weighed by Turner & Sons. If the weight of the stone(s) is stated to be approximate and does not appear in capital letters, the stone(s) has been assessed by us within its/their settings, and the stated weight is a statement of our opinion only. This information is given as a guide and Bidders should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy.
20. PHOTOGRAPHS Explanation of Catalogue Terms
• “Philip Eden”: in our opinion a work by the artist.
• “Attributed to Philip Eden”: in our opinion probably a work by the artist, but less certainty to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category.
• “Signed and/or titled and/or dated and/or inscribed”: in our opinion the signature and/or title and/or date and/or inscription are in the artist’s hand.
• “Signed and/or titled and/or dated and/or inscribed in another hand”: in our opinion the signature and/or title and/or date and/or inscription have been added by another hand.
• The date given is that of the image (negative). Where no further date is given, this indicates that the photographic print is vintage (the term “vintage” may also be included in the Lot Description). A vintage photograph is one which was made within approximately 5-10 years of the negative.
Where a second, later date appears, this refers to the date of printing. Where the exact printing date is not known, but understood to be later, “printed later” will appear in the Lot Description.
• Unless otherwise specified, dimensions given are those of the piece of paper on which the image is printed, including any margins. Some photographs may appear in the Catalogue without margins illustrated.
• All photographs are sold unframed unless stated in the Lot Description.

21. PICTURES
Explanation of Catalogue Terms
The following terms used in the Catalogue have the following meanings but are subject to the general provisions relating to Descriptions contained in the Contract for Sale:
• “E L Holt”: in our opinion a work by the artist. When the artist’s forename(s) is not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not, indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named;
• “Attributed to E L Holt”: in our opinion probably a work by the artist but less certainty as to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category;
• “Studio/Workshop of E L Holt”: in our opinion a work by an unknown hand in a studio of the artist which may or may not have been executed under the artist’s direction;
• “Circle of E L Holt”: in our opinion a work by a hand closely associated with a named artist but not necessarily his pupil;
• “Follower of E L Holt”: in our opinion a work by a painter working in the artist’s style, contemporary or nearly contemporary, but not necessarily his pupil;
• “Manner of E L Holt”: in our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date;
• “After E L Holt”: in our opinion, a copy of a known work of the artist;
• “Signed and/or dated and/or inscribed”: in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription are from the hand of the artist;
• “Bears a signature and/or date and/or inscription”: in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription have been added by another hand.
22. PORCELAINAND GLASS
Damage and Restoration
For your guidance, in our Catalogues we detail, as far as practicable, recorded all significant defects, cracks and restoration. Such practicable Descriptions of damage cannot be definitive, and in providing Condition Reports, we cannot Guarantee that there are no other defects present which have not been mentioned. Bidders should satisfy themselves by inspection, as to the condition of each Lot. Please see the Contract for Sale printed in this Catalogue. Because of the difficulty in determining whether an item of glass has been repolished, in our Catalogues reference is only made to visible chips and cracks. No mention is made of repolishing, severe or otherwise

APPENDIX 1
