It is up to the bidder to satisfy themselves prior to buying as to the condition of a lot. Whilst we make certain observations on the lot, which
are intended to be as helpful as possible, references in the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by
personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects
or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. The condition report is an expression of opinion only and must
not be treated as a statement of fact.
Please ensure that condition report requests are received before 12 noon on Saturday 27th September as we cannot guarantee that they will be dealt
with after this time.
