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 possi-
ble, 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 submitted before 12 noon on 2nd December as we cannot guarantee that they will be dealt with after this time.
6.

We are happy to execute absentee or written bids for bidders who are unable to attend and can arrange for bidding to be conducted by telephone. However, these services are subject to
special conditions (see conditions of sale in this catalogue). All arrangements for absentee and telephone bidding must be made before 5pm on the day prior to sale. Cancellation of bids must
be confirmed before this time and cannot be guaranteed after the auction as commenced.
