“Perhaps the most wonderful thing about this vocation is that although we can never predict when “it” will appear, if we stay open and energetic our hard work and enthusiasm are always rewarded in the end.” Ted Few is a London based fine art and antique dealer, well known for his cabinet of curiosities containing idiosyncratic works of art from around the world. On offer at Roseberys on Wednesday 24 March is a wide ranging selection of objects and paintings which he has collected throughout his expansive career and which showcase his diverse and inimitable taste. Ted discovered the realm of antiques at an early age and was instantly hooked. When he was fifteen he began dealing, buying art and objects from antique shops and markets near Buckingham where he was at school, and selling them to local dealers when he returned home in the holidays. After studying on the Sotheby’s Works of Art Course he realised he would find it impossible to specialise in one particular field and instead chose to focus his attention more broadly, enjoying the thrill of buying works of art from all corners of the globe which spanned millennia in date. As he says, “my curiosity and enthusiasm have always been aroused by things which have a distinctive personality or move me in some way.” For many years Ted has held bespoke exhibitions in which he has been able to present his individual interests and acquisitions both at home and at the London fairs, including BADA, LAPADA and Olympia. Every piece has a story to tell of past ages and cultures. His keen eye and appreciation for works which appeal both visually and historically have led him to unearth a number of hidden treasures. A conversation with him is a journey of discovery as he teases out engaging stories about the life-cycle of each item, drawing on his decades of experience. He will continue to buy and sell antiques – it’s in his blood – but will now turn his attention to a smaller number of objects which excite his imagination and test his expertise, and whose secrets have yet to be revealed.

“I discovered this collection completely by chance whilst on a trip to Germany, where I was hoping to buy a small group of European paintings. Catalogued superficially and without illustration or publicity, I was amazed to find it ingloriously housed in a deserted corner of a makeshift saleroom. As I examined the figures and began to get an idea of their topographical and chronological range I became excited, albeit doubtful that my efforts to buy them would be successful. Over the intervening fifteen years, I and a number of academics have shared the pleasure of cataloguing and getting to know them more intimately. It is unusual to find an unbroken cache of statuettes such as this, especially when they are of noble, not to mention royal, provenance. In addition they represent a broad cross section of cultures and traditions which span the spectrum of style from Archaic to Late Hellenistic. No collection is meant to remain in private hands for ever and in truth I never expected to hold on to them myself for so long; it was simply that for every question of identification we answered another two came along – a curious classical resonance if ever there were one.” Ted Few
The Sigmaringen Hohenzollern Collections: During WWII the imposing stronghold of Sigmaringen castle was taken over by the Wermacht and in 1944 it was briefly home to Marshal Petain and the remains of the Vichy government. The castle survives to this day and is still in the Hohenzollern family, although they no longer live there. War damages and a disastrous fire in more recent times have all taken their toll, especially on the family archives. The Sigmaringen Hohenzollerns were avid collectors of works of art, but today there are very few surviving records documenting their acquisitions. We thus know very little about how the group of classical bronzes here were originally put together beyond their presence in the 20th century in the Sigmaringen castle museum. The 1934 autobiography of Marie, wife of King Ferdinand I and Queen of Romania, mentions that just before her marriage in 1893, she visited Sigmaringen for the first time and suggests that the formation of the collection began in earnest in the 19th century with Prince Karl Anton (1811-1885), who appointed a series of scholarly curators. Leopold, Karl Anton’s son, continued to enrich the collections and lived in the castle with his wife until his death in 1905. They spend much of their life together travelling through Italy, through Etruria and down into Campania, the very regions where many of the bronzes in the collection were produced in Classical times. The bronzes were very likely accumulated from a number of sources. All of them are mounted on turned 19th and early 20th century wood stands of excellent quality, and most are the originals upon which each individual piece was displayed in the castle at Sigmaringen. What is evident from the family history of collecting is that the Hohenzollern interest in the acquisition of these charming bronzes lasted for a number of years and possibly generations.

100 100 Two polychrome decorated plaster reliefs, in the style of Nottingham Alabasters, The Burning of the Philosophers and The Beheading of St Catherine, late 18th/early 19th century, in medieval revival oak frames, 50 x 25cm and 50 x 27cm (2) Note: This rare pair of reliefs are mentioned twice by Francis Cheetham in the Victoria & Albert Museum catalogue of English Medieval Alabasters, 1984 and Alabaster images of Medieval England, 2003. They are also mentioned in Collectors Luck, Stowers Johnson, p194, figure 36, London, 1968. The Roman emperor Maxentius abducted St Catherine of Alexandria and ordered philosophers to convert her to paganism. When they failed and became Christians themselves, Maxentius ordered them to be burnt to death. St Catherine was also condemned to death, firstly on a spiked breaking wheel, but at her touch it shattered. Maxentius then ordered her to be beheaded, as depicted in the current lot. In the fifteenth and sixteenth century, Nottingham was the centre of an industry carving locally mined alabaster, a material famous for its characteristically creamy and milky texture, which made it easier to carve and to paint than other materials. It became popular in the use of tomb carving and small religious carvings, particularly panels. It was transported by water and road across England to various sculpture centres and even internationally as far north as Iceland and as far south as Spain. The current lot is an idiosyncratic revival of such panels. Inspired by the Medieval examples, the lot was perhaps made as an appreciation to the rarity of the original panels. £5,000 - 8,000*

On Wyatt’s death in 1850, Spence completed his works and took over the studio. He spent most of his working life in Rome, visiting England annually for the Royal Academy shows. He exhibited at the Royal Academy himself from 1849 to 1866. The present lot is a fine example of the sculptor’s portraiture and skill in carving marble. Executed in a Neo-Classical style, it reveals the influence of an earlier generation of sculptors working in Rome. The sitter would have been an English gentleman on the Grand Tour, who would have sat for Spence in his Roman studio. £1,500 - 2,500*

He first exhibited at the R.A. in 1815 and quickly accumulated a following with many commissions. The Art Journal, referring to a bust of Clarkson, wrote that they had ‘never seen anything finer in modern or ancient art’. While H. Weekes was inclined to rate him as the superior of Chantrey in the field of portrait sculpture. Sadly Behnes, in middle age, fell into financial difficulties and died a pauper. £1,200 - 1,800*

Note: Eloy Gonzalo García (1876-1897) was a distinguished Spanish soldier in the Cuban War of Independence. In September 1896 the small nationalist fortress town of Cascorro was seized by three thousand insurgents and the besieged Spanish forces were forced to set fire to the houses held by the enemy. According to various sources, Eloy Gonzalo volunteered to undertake the task, carrying a can of oil and with a rope tied to his waist, so if injured or killed, he could be recovered. He survived the mission and went on to take part in further military actions until his death a year later from an intestinal infection. In 1897, the year of his death, the government of Spain decided to honour Gonzalo by commissioning a statue from Ancieto Marinas Garcia of ‘The Hero of Cascorro’. Aniceto Marinas, a renowned sculptor of public monuments in Spain, studied at the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts and later in Rome. He participated in national and international exhibitions and received several awards. The present lot, a maquette for the statue in Plaza de Cascorro, in the heart of Madrid’s Rastro, depicts Gonzalo in heroic pose, moments before his mission, striding forward, a rope tied to his waist, an oil drum under one arm, a flaming torch in the other and a bayonet across his chest. £5,000 - 8,000*

In 1800 he became the pupil of Jean-Antonie Houdon then that of the sculptor Philippe-Laurent Roland and the painter Jacques-Louis David. In 1809, he won the Prix de Rome for sculpture with a relief Dédale attachant des ailes à son fils Icare. An identical bronze bust can be found in the Musée du Louvre, Paris. £2,500 - 4,000*

120 François Léon Sicard, French, 1862-1934, a bronze portrait bust of Georges Clemenceau, dedicated to Lady Edward Cecil (Hatfield House), dated 1919, cast to the right shoulder FL Sicard, the verde antico marble base inscribed LADY EDWARD CECIL / G.CLEMENCEAU / 1919, 45cm high Note: Violet Georgina Maxse, Lady Edward Cecil and later Viscountess Milner (1872-1958) was widowed in 1918 after her first husband, Lord Edward Cecil died of Spanish flu. She married Alfred Milner, 1st Viscount Milner (1854-1925) in 1921 having first exchanged letters with him during his time in South Africa as High Commissioner. Viscount Milner was a British statesman and part of Lloyd George’s War Cabinet during the First World War. He attended the 1919 Paris Peace Conference where he became one of the signatories of the Treaty of Versailles. It seems highly likely that during this period Lady Edward Cecil, his future wife, was introduced to George Clemenceau, the French Prime Minister, and the present bust was subsequently presented to her. François Léon Sicard studied under Félix Joseph Barrias and Félix Laurent. He exhibited at the French Salons, gaining an honorable mention in 1887, a second-class medal in 1894, a first-class medal in 1897, and gold medal at l’Exposition Universelle of 1900. Notable works include La convention Nationale in the Panthéon, Paris, and Le Bon Samaritain (1896), in the jardin des Tuileries, Paris. £2,000 - 3,000*

121 Two Order of Battle manuscripts from the War of Austrian Succession, one dated 1743, each with a typical coloured tabular detailing the hierarchy of the commanding officers in the campaign and the composition of the armies, hand written ink and body colour, later framed, 20.5 x 35.5cm and 19 x 31cm Provenance: Sotheby’s, Royal House of Hanover, Munich, 5-15 October 2015 Note: The Battle of Dettingen took place on 27 June 1743 during the War of Austrian Succession. It was fought between a Pragmatic Army, composed of British, Hanoverian and Austrian troops, and a French army commanded by the duc de Noailles. While the Earl of Stair exercised operational control, the Allied army was nominally commanded by George II, accompanied by his son the Duke of Cumberland. As a result, it is now best remembered as the last time a reigning British monarch led troops on the battlefield. Similar examples are held in the Royal Collection. £800 - 1,200*

124 Attributed to Metello Motelli, Italian, active 1851-1894, an Italian marble model of a seated female nude, dated 1851, depicted reclining in an elaborate upholstered armchair carved with scrolls and tassels, the arm with two resting doves, the base inscribed Motelli 1851 á m’Bugchok direct-gen.de l’Emp l’autriche á l’Exposition univers de Londres, 29cm high Note: The present lot is most likely by Metello Motelli, who, like many of his contemporaries, is today a rather elusive figure, though he clearly enjoyed considerable success in his lifetime. Referred to as a Milanese sculptor, Motelli’s activity seems to have taken place primarily in Lombardy. Among his most important works is the memorial plaque in stone and bronze to Giuseppe Garibaldi, which he executed for the Lombard town of Saronno in 1883. Earlier in his career Motelli focused on genre sculpture, exhibiting widely both in Italy and abroad. As well as showing works in Milan and Rome, Motelli is recorded as having exhibited in London in 1851, possibly the present lot, and again in 1882. £800 - 1,200*

Sc 1877, 44cm high Note: Dorothy Wyndlow Pattison, better known as Sister Dora (1832-1878) was a 19th century Anglican nun and nurse in Walsall, Staffordshire. After a difficult family life, she eventually escaped to devote the rest of her days to nursing, working alone in a smallpox epidemic, horrific factory accidents and a pit disaster at Pelsall. Her nursing and medical skills, self-sacrifice, and personal devotion to the welfare of her patients meant she became a legend equal to Florence Nightingale in local eyes. In 1886 a statue by Francis John Williamson was erected in her honour in Walsall, the first public statue of a woman not of royal blood in the United Kingdom. The present lot is believed to be Sister Dora and was perhaps an unsuccessful entry for the competition to commemorate her. £800 - 1,200*

Note: Halou began his studies under Alexandre Falguière at the École des Beaux-Arts and continued them as a pupil of Rodin. Rodin had a lasting impact on Halou’s work. He was a member of the sculptor’s group known as ‘la Bande à Schnegg’, a term invented by the critic Louis Vauxcelles who famously also named the ‘Fauves’. The group consisted mainly of sculptors who had been Rodin’s studio assistants and was led by Lucien Schnegg (1864-1909). Halou exhibited in the group’s first show in 1904. Halou was also a founding member of the Salon d’Automne, which was formed in 1903 in reaction to the conservative tendencies of the Paris Salon. £300 - 500*

To ensure the gift remained a surprise, Carpeaux did not have Thiébaut pose for him.

He primarily created portraits, monumental and memorial sculptures in stone, bronze and plaster and until 1931, he was a member of Malkasten, a progressive artists’ association. In 1933, as a Jew, he was denied membership in the Reichskammer der bildenden Künste by the Reich Chamber of Culture, effectively banning him from his profession. From that point on he was only able to work for Jewish customers and created mostly funerary art. In 1938, during “Kristallnacht”, his studio in the Flingern District was destroyed but he managed to emigrate to Belgium and settled in Uccle, where he worked for a ceramics factory. In 1945 he was able to reopen a studio in Brussels but he died the following year. £500 - 800* 147

Sculptor and print maker Enrico Glicenstein was born Henoch Glicenstein into a Jewish family in Turek, Poland. He enrolled at the Academy in Munich (1890-95) and after twice winning the Prix de Rome in 1894 and 1897 he settled in Italy and took Italian citizenship, becoming known as Enrico Glicenstein. He established a reputation in Paris, winning a silver medal in 1900 and reportedly exhibiting his bronze sculpture ‘Messiah’, alongside Rodin’s own work, at the latter’s suggestion, in the central Rotunda of the Grand Palais in Paris. Later the same year, upon Rodin’s recommendation, Glicenstein was elected an honorary member of the Société des Beaux-Arts. Between 1906 and 1914 he exhibited regularly in Germany, briefly heading the Warsaw School of Fine Arts sculpture department, before returning to Berlin, where he held an important retrospective exhibition that toured to key German cities between 1912 and 1913. The First World War forced Glicenstein’s return to Warsaw but in 1921 he resettled in London. Glicenstein held solo exhibitions in Rome and Venice (1925-28), also exhibiting at the 15th Venice Biennale (1928) but had to leave Italy after refusing to join the Fascist Party, and moved permanently to the USA with his son, Emanuel, also an artist in 1935. In the USA he exhibited in Manhattan, as well as at the Art Institute of Chicago and in the 1939 Worlds’ Fair. He died in New York, in December 1942, after a car accident. In 1985 The Glicenstein Museum (now the Israel Bible Museum) was founded in Safed.

Note: This example is possibly one of hundred and eighteen etchings from a posthumous publication of Pierre François Basan’s Receuil, probably published by Henri Louis Basan in Paris around 1810. The plates consist of a combination of re-worked Rembrandt etchings (by Basan?) and copies by Basan after Rembrandt’s etchings. The 118 prints are preceded by the original Basan title-page (indicating eighty-five prints and with the address ‘Rue et Hôtel Serpente, no.14’) and two pages with an index of the 85 Basan plates (numbered according to the 1751 Helle-Glomy catalogue). Pierre-François Basan published various editions of the Recueil between 1789 and 1797. Later editions did not always contain the 85 original Basan plates and this edition contains one hundred and eighteen prints. After the death of Pierre-François Basan his son, Henri Louis Basan, continued publishing. See British Museum item no. 1941, 0327.11.1 for notes. £80 - 120*

They exhibit a stylistic similarity to the engraving by Carl Guttenberg (1743-1792) of Tell leaping from a boat to escape his enemies, including Gessner, which is itself after Henry Fuseli (1741-1825). The composition of this scene, called the Tellensprung, in these plates also resembles that produced by the Swiss artist Ernst Stuckelberg (1831-1903) for a set of frescoes in the Tellskapelle, the chapel which allegedly marked the spot where Tell leapt to safety from the boat.

Note: Edward Lear, was a a poet, author, and artist. Lear is best known for writing poems, the most famous of these being the Owl and the Pussycat, and for developing the genre of literary nonsense, particularly in his 1846 volume of limericks fittingly entitled A Book of Nonsense. Lear repeatedly returned to the theme of the natural world in his art. This interest can be seen both in his more formal drawings of animals, and in the more fantastical (and often anthropomorphic) illustrations which he produced for his poems and stories. It is also evident in the number of landscapes which he made throughout his life, of which these pictures are classic examples.

323 John Ritchie, Scottish act. 1858-1875 Mon Amour pour Marianna vivera toujours oil on canvas, signed, inscribed and dated 1854, 45 x 55.5cm Provenance: David Letham, Edinburgh Note: This work is by the Victorian artist John Ritchie, who was active in the latter part of the nineteenth century. This piece demonstrates Ritchie’s interest in depicting the landscape which surrounds his sitters, with the scenes illustrated in his paintings typically situated outside. In this way, this work reveals Ritchie’s romantic fascination with the British countryside, and the influence of the contemporary Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood movement on the artist’s work. Richie’s depiction of figures examining a stone inscription in a wooded setting also recalls the classical history paintings of artists such as Nicolas Poussin, imparting a sense of grandeur on an otherwise tender scene. The artist’s best known works remain two paintings which he exhibited at the Liverpool Academy in 1858, entitled A Summer Day in Hyde Park and A Winter Day in St James’s Park. Ritchie also frequently returned to the depiction of genre scenes with figures in sixteenth-century costume, as in The Huguenot Conventicle Suppressed, which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1858. £400 - 600*

325 Sir William McTaggart RSA RSW, Scottish 1835-1910 Sketch oil on board, bears inscription Sketch. William MacTaggart RSAS by William MacTaggart RSA. Got by Dr Blatherwick from Joseph Henderson on the reverse, 24.2 x 32.5cm (unframed) Provenance: the family of the painter Joseph Henderson (1832-1908); niece of A S Hartrick, according to the label on the backboard of the frame Note: Although it is neither signed nor dated, this work is consistent with McTaggart’s style and subjectmatter from the later 1860s and early 1870s. It may well depict the artist’s first wife, Mary Brolochan Holmes, perhaps with their daughter Annie (born in 1864), both of whom often served as models for McTaggart’s work. McTaggart’s second wife, after Holmes’s death in 1884, was Marjory Henderson, daughter of the Joseph Henderson named in the inscription. Henderson’s connection with Charles Blatherwick can be explained by the fact that both men were prominent figures in the Scottish art world, with both serving as President of the Glasgow Art Club on separate occasions. With thanks to Per Kvaerne for his extensive help in the cataloguing of this piece. £1,000 - 1,500*

Bonaiuti was involved in the production of a number of prints which depicted the Madonna and Child, producing the design for an engraving after Raphael’s Madonna del Baldacchino, a copy of which is in the Royal Collection, for example. Prints made after drawings by Bonaiuti are also in the collection of the British Museum. In execution and subject-matter, then, this drawing is a typical example of the artist’s work. £200 - 300*

333 E Bradley, British, mid-19th century The opening of the Centrifugal Pump for the Drainage of Whittlesea Mere. The ***** House and Main Drains, c.1851 pen and brown ink and watercolour, inscribed, 24 x 22.5cm., (mounted, unframed) Note: This lot depicts Whittlesea Mere in Cambridgeshire. It was one of the last ‘great meres’ in the fenland of East Anglia, and was drained in 1851 as part of the agricultural developments which fundamentally changed the geography and economy of this region of England. This mere covered a vast area which varied seasonally, but which reached up to 3,000 acres in the winter, and served as a location for fishing, boating, and ice skating. The Appold centrifugal pump which is illustrated in this picture had been commissioned to drain the mere after being shown at the Great Exhibition in 1851. This lot, in its depiction of the drainage of Whittlesea Mere, therefore captures a moment in the drastic transformation of the landscape which defined nineteenth-century Britain. The drainage of the mere revealed a number of silver artefacts which were believed to have come from Ramsay Abbey which are now on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. £100 - 150* 334 Philip Homan Miller ARHA, Irish 1845-1928 Portrait of Admiral Lord Alcester (1821-1895), standing three-quarter length monochrome watercolour heightened with white, signed and dated 1891, signed by the sitter, bears pencil inscription on the mount, 50 x 34.5cm Provenance: with Fredk.

351 351 Circle of Alphonse Etienne Dinet, French 1861-1929 Astyanax Effraye par son pere Hector oil on canvas, bears inscription on the stretcher, signed indistinctly, 40 x 30cm Provenance: The collection of the artist Charles James Theriat (1860-1937); Christie’s sale, South Kensington Note: This work may have been painted in Grez, where Theriat was working in the 1880s along with the other American artists Walter Gay (1856-1937) and Willard Lowell Metcalf (1858-1925). This work recalls the work of the nineteenth-century French Orientalist School of painting, of which Alphonse Etienne Dinet was a central figure. Dinet studied under Tony Robert-Fleury and William Bouguereau, both influential art teachers with an interest in depicting dramatic classical and historical scenes. In 1887 he co-founded the Société des Peintres Orientalistes Français with Léonce Bénédite, the director of the Musée de Luxembourg. Other founding members of this group included key Orientalist artists such as Paul Leroy, Eugene Girardet, and Maurice Bompard. He also established the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1889 with a number of significant contemporary artists, including Charles Cottet, Rodin, Carolus-Duran, Puvis de Chavannes, and Meissonier. £600 - 800*

352 352 Attributed to Clare Atwood NEAC ASWA, British 1866-1962 The Wheelwright’s Shop oil on board, 19.8 x 29.7cm (ARR) Note: Clare Atwood was an English artist who was active in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, producing art in what would prove to be a particularly fertile period for the development of British painting. Atwood studied at the Westminster School of Art, and the Slade School of Fine Art.Having first exhibited at the New English Art Club in 1893, she became a full member in 1912, and in the same year her work was exhibited at the Carfax Gallery. This small-scale, muted and understated painting displays an affinity with the more commonplace subject-matter which can be perceived in some of the work produced by Atwood’s contemporaries in the NEAC. Paintings by Atwood are in the collection of the Tate Galleries, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Imperial War Museum, all in London, alongside others. £600 - 800*

Roussel did not have any formal artistic training, which can be seen to give his work a sense of freshness and originality. Roussel is, nevertheless, often described as receiving informal instruction from his close friend James McNeill Whistler, by whom he was introduced to the techniques involved in etching and drypoint. Roussel subsequently became a leading innovator in the field of colour etching in England.
353
These prints are therefore typical of the artist’s style, using the media of printing and drawing to depict intimate scenes of family life (including the artist’s son, Raphael Roussel, who would go on to become an artist in his own right). Roussel’s work was regularly exhibited at the Society of British Artists, the Royal Scottish Academy, the New English Art Club and the International Society of Sculptors, Painters and Gravers. He was also a founding member of the Allied Artists’ Association, established in 1908.

Zilcken studied under Karel Klinkenberg and Anton Mauve. After spending time at the Societe des aquafortistes in France, Zilcken became the secretary of its Dutch equivalent, Nederlandsche Etsclub, between 1885 and 1896. As this shows, Zilcken had a particular interest in the techniques of etching and engraving, and his ability to imbue works produced in this medium with an extreme emotional intensity is powerfully illustrated by this piece. £150 - 200*

American 1876-1954 Landscape coloured crayon, signed with initials, dedicated and dated 1919 in pencil, 13 x 17.5cm together with a pencil and watercolour study of trees by the same artist, signed, dedicated a mon ami Pach and dated 1919, 13.2 x 23.5cm., (2) Provenance: Walter Pach (1883-1958), artist and art historian, long-standing friend and patron of the artist; Christie’s South Kensington, 25th October 2011, lot 448 Note: These works are by the American artist George Ferdinand Of, and are typical of his landscapes in style. The use of bright colours and impressionistic markings recalls the larger oil paintings produced by the artist. The loose and sparing application of crayon creates a sense of the freshness and lightness of the countryside depicted by Of. This style places Of firmly in the rapidly-developing artistic landscape of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. The artist’s connection with the key players of the early twentieth century art scene is further reinforced by the fact that these works come from the collection of Of’s friend and patron Walter Pach. Pach lived in Paris between 1907 and 1913, befriending some of the most significant and influential artists of the period, including Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, Raoul Dufy and Jacques Villon, among many others. By selecting Duchamp’s Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2 for the 1913 Armory Show, which introduced radical Parisian artistic developments to an American audience, Pach personally had a huge influence on the shape of American art to follow. These works, therefore, can be connected to some of the most significant developments in twentieth-century art, both in Paris and the USA. £200 - 300*

Ltd., 116.5 x 126.5cm., (unframed) Note: Although not an exact copy, the composition of this work bears a striking resemblance to Sir William Rothenstein's 1903 'Mother and Child', which is currently in the collection of the Tate Britain in London. This painting was likely painted by a contemporary, who was influenced by Rothenstein's painting to render a similarly intimate maternal scene. The subject-matter and depiction of an interior recall the work of seventeenth-century Dutch painters, including Pieter de Hooch and Johannes Vermeer. The work's connection to members of the New English Art Club is clear not only from the painting's style, but also from the materials used for its production. The markings on the reverse of the picture link this to Charles Chenil & Co Ltd, 183a, later also at 181, King’s Road, Chelsea, London 1905-1927.

He was best known for completing a number of portraits, some of which are currently in the collections of the Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museums and Pembroke College, University of Cambridge.

Godwin studied first under John Byam Shaw at The Women’s Department of King’s College, and the under Walter Sickert and Harold Gilman at the Westminster School of Art. She was also a member of the London Group, having been influenced by the art produced by members of its predecessor, the Camden Town Group. Godwin’s work was regularly exhibited throughout her lifetime, both as part of group shows and individually. As well as being included in the London Group exhibitions, Godwin’s art was exhibited at the New English Art Club and the Allied Artists Association. Her work was also part of exhibitions held at the Chenil Galleries, the Goupil Gallery, Manchester City Art Gallery, and even the Royal Academy, alongside an important solo show of 1936 at the Leger Galleries in London. This lot, a lively depiction of a Madeiran landscape (a regular subject of Godwin’s work) executed with the confident application of colourful paints, is a typical example of the artist’s style. £400 - 600*

375 375 After Emile Aubry, French 1880-1964 La Voix de Pan oil on canvas, 96.8 x 130cm (unframed) Note: see Victor Arwas, Art Deco, Academy Editions, London, 1992, pg. 186, illustrated pg 187. see related work by the artist entitled Le Jugement de Pâris, étude, c.1932, Musée des Beaux-Arts, Pau, Béarn, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Aquitaine, France. Emile Aubry was a French painter who was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1935. The artist’s original work in the Musee des Beaux-Arts, Pau, of which this is a copy, is clearly indebted to the development of the Art Deco movement in the early 20th century, and illustrates the artist’s participation in and contribution to the rapidly changing artistic landscape of the period. The result of this can be seen in the artist’s use of bright, contrasting colours and bold lines in a confident exploration of figuration, which are faithfully rendered in this work. £600 - 800*

De Grineau’s style, particularly towards the beginning of his career, was heavily influenced by that of his father, the illustrator and caricaturist Charles Grineau. De Grineau was best known for his illustrations of motor sports and the sketches he produced of the combat of both World Wars. De Grineau started his career illustrating motor sports events for the automotive magazine The Motor, but began submitting his sketches to new agencies whilst serving in the First World War. During WWII De Grineau acted as a special correspondent for Illustrated London News, and later as an official government War Artist. De Grineau’s drawings serve as an impressive record of the society and events of early twentieth-century Britain, covering not only conflict but milestone occasions in the public consciousness, such as the Royal Wedding in 1947 and the 1953 Coronation. As works with such great historical significance, many of De Grineau’s drawings are held in the collection of the Imperial War Museum. £800 - 1,200*

Note: Raphael Roussel was a British artist, the son of Theodore Casimir Roussel, himself a well-known French painter and engraver. Roussel worked as a portrait painter and produced a number of commercial artworks. He is perhaps best-known for his travel posters, which are iconic examples of the bold new style of graphic art pioneered in the early twentieth century. Roussel also created a number of dioramas for educational use in museums and produced landscapes, such as this one, although the medium of oil paint makes this work a more unusual example of the artist’s work. £100 - 150*

Stained glass windows by Bossanyi are also in place in ecclesiastical settings, at the chapels of St John’s College and St Peters College in Oxford, and York Minster. Examples of Bossanyi’s windows are owned by the Stained Glass Museum at Ely Cathedral. This painting clearly echoes the work produced in the artist’s favoured medium of glass, with its religious theme, contrasting colours and strong figuration recalling the central features of Bossanyi’s windows. £2,000 - 3,000*

For a short while Tibble was a central figure in the Objective Abstraction movement, although he soon rejected abstraction in favour of more figurative painting, moving towards the Euston Road School which was founded by his contemporary at the Slade, William Coldstream. This work is a typical example of Tibble’s favoured style and subject-matter, with its depiction of a contemplative female figure in an interior scene. This approach has led commentators to compare Tibble’s work with painters such as Eduoard Vuillard and Edgar Degas, the latter of whom Tibble himself described as an important influence. Tibble’s work was exhibited throughout his lifetime, from his first solo exhibition at Tooth’s Gallery in 1946. His work is now in a number of collections across the UK, including in the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh, the Ulster Museum in Belfast, the National Gallery of Wales in Cardiff, and the Arts Council Collection at the Southbank in London. £1,000 - 1,500*

oil on canvas, 54.2 x 44.2cm (ARR) Provenance: with The Parkin Gallery, London, according to the label attached to the reverse of the frame Note: This work is by Gerald Reitlinger, who was particularly notable as an art historian and art collector, alongside practicing as an artist himself. Reitlinger studied at the Slade and at Westminster School of Art. Reitlinger’s art collection was significant, with a particular emphasis on Eastern ceramics, and he acted as a great benefactor to museums, with much of his collection ending up in the British Museum in London and the Ashmolean in Oxford, among others. Reitlinger’s contribution to the study of the history of art and collecting was also great, culminating in his three-volume work The Economics of Taste (1961-70). As such, Reitlinger is an important name in the study of art history and collecting.
oil on canvas, signed and dated 41, 45.7 x 36cm (ARR) Provenance: originally from the studio of the artist. Note: This work is by the artist Baruch Shalom Oskotsky, also known as Bernard Scott. Scott studied at St Martin’s School of Art on a scholarship awarded by London County Council, where his contemporaries included Leon Underwood. He won first place in a mural competition at St Martin’s, and his design was consequently painted on the wall of the school. His work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy, Camden Arts Centre and the Whitechapel Art Gallery, and has also been the subject of solo exhibitions at Drian Galleries and Rene Daron Gallery in Tel-Aviv. A retrospective of Oskotsky’s work was held at the Ben Uri Art Gallery in 1995. £400 - 600*

(max) (15) (ARR) (unframed) Note: These watercolours serve as a striking depiction of army encampments in India in the early 1940s. These pictures serve to emphasise the truly global nature of the conflict of the Second World War, drawing the viewers’ attention to the (often overlooked) experience of commonwealth nations as theatres for war. This is reinforced by the fact that the town of Kirkee in western India, now named Khadki, is now the site of a significant war cemetery. The bright colours and clean lines of these watercolours bring a sense of vibrancy and immediacy to these scenes, whilst also conveying a sense of cheerfulness which belies the context of conflict in which they were produced. £200 - 300*

TERMS OF CONSIGNMENT FOR SELLERS These terms apply to Rosebery Fine Art Ltd trading as Roseberys and Roseberys London. 1. Interpretation. In these Terms the words ‘you’, ‘yours’, etc. refer to the Seller and if the consignment of goods to us is made by an agent we assume that the Seller has authorised the consignment and that the consignor has the Seller’s authority to contract. Similarly the words ‘we’, ‘us’, etc. refer to the Auctioneers. 2. Commission and Entry Fee. (a) Entry Fee: A charge of £20 is made to each lot sold in addition to vendor’s commission. This charge covers our specialist research, catalogue description, website illustration, marketing on our website and other third party sites as well as live or timed bidding on various internet platforms. (b) Vendors Commission: Is charged on each lot at 15%. 3. Catalogue Illustration Fee. The cost of any illustration is borne by you. Lots may be illustrated in a catalogue and thus a charge of between £20-60 per illustration is applicable, dependent on size. For example a quarter page illustration £20, half page £40, three quarter/full page £60. The copyright in respect of such illustrations shall be the property of the auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue; any persons to be found to have reproduced such illustrations or text without prior written approval will be deemed as being in breach of copyright law and appropriate legal action may be taken. 4. Loss and Damage of Goods (a) Roseberys is not authorised by the FSA to provide insurance to its clients, and does not so do. However Roseberys, for its own protection, assumes liability for property consigned to it at the lower pre-sale estimate until title passes to the buyer. To justify accepting liability, Roseberys makes a charge of 1.75% of the hammer price plus VAT. The liability assumed by Roseberys shall be limited to the lower pre-sale estimate or to the reserve if the lot was unsold. Settlement in any claim arising shall be subject to commission as if the lot had sold in the normal manner. (b) If the owner of goods consigned instructs us in writing not to take such action, the goods then remain entirely at the owner’s risk unless and until the property in them passes to the Buyer or they are collected by or on behalf of the owner, and clause 4(a) is inapplicable. (c) Roseberys will not be liable for the loss or damage to frames or glass covering prints, paintings or other works. Old frames are often fragile or subject to deterioration and whilst Roseberys will do their
upmost to ensure the safety and care of frames and glass we will not compensate for loss or damage to property caused by changes in humidity or temperature, normal wear and tear, gradual deterioration, inherent defect or errors in processing. 5. Removal Costs. Items for sale must be consigned to the saleroom by any stated deadline and at your expense. We may be able to assist you with this process but any liability incurred to a carrier for haulage charges is solely your responsibility. 6. Minimum Bids and our Discretion. Goods will normally be offered subject to a reserve agreed between us before the sale in accordance with clause 7. We may sell Lots below the reserve provided we account to you for the same sale proceeds that you would have received had the reserve been the hammer price. If you specifically give us a “discretion” we may accept a bid of up to approximately 15% below the low estimate and “wide discretion” allows to use accept a bid of up to approximately 30% below the low estimate. 7. Reserves. (a) Prior to the auction you are entitled to place a reserve on any lot consigned, being the minimum hammer price at which that lot may be sold. Reserves must be reasonable and we may decline to offer goods which in our opinion would be subject to an unreasonably high reserve. If we are unable to offer goods they may be subject to storage charges if uncollected. (b) A reserve once set cannot be changed except with our consent, and confirmed by you in writing. (c) Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf and only up to the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances bid personally. 8. Electrical Items. These are subject to detailed statutory safety controls. Where such items are accepted for sale you accept responsibility for the cost of testing by external contractors. Goods not certified as safe by an electrician (unless antiques) will not be accepted for sale. They must be removed at your expense on your being notified. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense. 9. Soft Furnishings. The sale of soft furnishings is strictly regulated by statute law in the interests of fire safety. Goods found to infringe safety regulations will not be offered and must be removed at your expense. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense. The rights of disposal referred to in clause 8 and 9 are subject to the provisions of The Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, Schedule 1, a copy of which is available for inspection on request
ROS026 Listing.qxp_Layout 1 22/02/2021 14:29 Page 185
TERMS OF CONSIGNMENT FOR SELLERS 10. Descriptions. Please assist us with accurate information as to the provenance etc. of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liability for the accuracy of descriptions under modern consumer legislation and in some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuracies occur. We will assume that you have approved the catalogue description of your lots unless informed to the contrary. Where we are obliged to return the price to the buyer when the lot is a deliberate forgery under Condition 15 of the Conditions of Sale and we have accounted to you for the proceeds of sale you agree to reimburse us the sale proceeds. The liability to reimburse the sale proceeds shall not arise where you are acting reasonably and honestly and are unaware of the forgery or where we are or ought to have been aware of it. 11. Unsold Items. Unsold lots will be automatically reoffered into the next appropriate live or online auction with the low estimate reduced by 40% and if the revised estimate is £200 or below it will be offered without reserve. Alternatively, we may contact you to request that you collect the items. If you do not wish to re-enter the lots please notify Roseberys in writing with collection instructions. Please note storage charges will be incurred if lots are not collected within one week, storage charges will be applied of £2 + VAT per lot per day. If a lot remains uncollected two months after the date of the auction, Roseberys shall have the right to sell the lot at auction without reserve and to deduct from the ‘hammer price’ any sum owing to Roseberys as well as expenses arising from all auctions in which the lot has been included, plus storage and loss and damage warranty charges. 12. Withdrawn Items. (a) If an item is withdrawn prior to the publication of the catalogue a minimum charge of £20 + VAT per lot is applicable. This fee covers administration, handling, storage and loss & damage of the lot whilst in our care. (b) If an item is withdrawn after the online or offline publication of the lots they will incur charges where applicable comprising the sum of the vendor’s commission, the entry fee, the illustration cost, the loss and damage warranty, the buyer’s premium, the marketing fees and other expenses in relation to the item. VAT is applicable on all charges. These commission and premium charges will be calculated upon Roseberys published mid estimate. (c) In the cases of 12 (a) and (b) Roseberys will store the withdrawn item for a period of five days with no charge, after this a storage charge will be applicable at a daily rate of £2 per item per day plus VAT for items that remain uncollected.
13. Conditions of Sale. You agree that all goods will be sold according to our Conditions of Sale. In particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goods either as owner or agent for the owner. You undertake to compensate us and any buyer or third party for all losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of this undertaking. 14. Authority to Deduct Commission and Expenses and Retain Premium and Interest. (a) You authorise us to deduct commission from the hammer price at the stated rate plus all applicable expenses incurred on your account and consent to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the buyer in accordance with our Conditions of Sale and any interest earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement. (b) You authorise us at our discretion to negotiate a sale by private treaty not later than five working days from the date of the auction in the case of lots unsold at auction, in which case the same charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction and so far as appropriate these Terms apply. 15. Warehousing. We disclaim all liability for goods delivered to our saleroom without sufficient written sale instructions, client contact details or without our prior written agreement to take delivery and reserve the right to either refuse to receive such goods or to make a minimum warehousing charge of £2 per item per day. Unsold lots are subject to the same charges if you do not remove them within a reasonable time of notification. If not removed within twenty one days we reserve the right to sell them and defray charges from any net proceeds of sale or at your expense to consign them to the local authority for disposal. 16. Settlement. Settlement of the net sum due to you normally takes place 28 days after the sale (by crossed cheque or bank transfer to the seller) unless the buyer has not paid for the goods. In this case no settlement will then be made but we will take your instructions in the light of our Conditions of Sale. You authorise any sums owed by you to us on other transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds. You must note the liability to reimburse the proceeds of sale to us as under the circumstances provided for in Condition 10 above. You should therefore bear this potential liability in mind before parting with the proceeds of sale until the expiry of 28 days from the date of sale.

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS 1. Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers of Roseberys London particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms or online only bidding platform. All sales are conducted according to our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection in person, on our website and normally accompany catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully understand. 2. Agency. As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller. 3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price or may be above the reserve price. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive. 4. Buyer’s Premium. The Conditions of Sale oblige buyers to pay a buyer’s premium of 25% up to £250,000 (30% inclusive of VAT), 20% from £250,000-500,000 (24% inclusive of VAT), 12% from £500,000 onwards (14.4% inclusive of VAT) The premium price is subject to VAT at the standard rate. 5. VAT. The addition of (*) or (VAT applied on hammer price) to the lot description indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate, presently 20%, on the hammer price as well as being payable on the buyer’s premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the premium is not recoverable as input tax. 6. Artist’s Resale Rights/Droit de Suite. Lots as indicated in the catalogue and if sold for the equivalent of 1000 euros or more on the day of the auction will be subject to a further percentage of the hammer price as follows: From 0 to 50,000 euros subject to 4% From 50,001 to 200,000 euros subject to 3% From 200,001 to 350,000 euros subject to 1% From 350,001 to 500,000 euros subject to 0.5% Exceeding 500,000 euros subject to 0.25% The Artist’s Resale Right payable will be the aggregate of the amounts payable under the above rate bands, subject to maximum royalty payable of 12,500 euros for any single work each time it is sold. Calculations of the artist’s resale right will be based on the pound sterling/Euro reference exchange rate quoted on the date of sale by the European Central Bank. 7. Agents. We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them we are normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order. Additionally, in specified circumstances lots mis-described because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is a three week time limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale). 8. Electrical goods. These are sold as ‘antiques’ or ‘decorative’ items only and if bought for use must first be checked for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician. 9. Coloured gems. It is common practice for gemstones to be treated in order to enhance colour and clarity. Unless stated buyers should presume coloured stones may well have been exposed to some sort of treatment.
10. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. 11. Bidding. Bidders are required to register with us before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification may be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding. 12. Commission bidding (i)
Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding the buyers’ premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for leaving commission bids by telephone, email or fax. Please ensure bids are left at least one hour prior to the start of the auction.
(ii) Commission bids may also be left via the Roseberys website. These bids are executed via the RoseberysLive software and there is no surcharge. 13. Live Online bidding (a) An online bidding service is offered via RoseberysLive, thesaleroom.com and invaluable.com. In completing the bidder registration on these sites the buyer is agreeing to Roseberys conditions of sale. (b) In the case where a debit or credit card has been used to register the buyer also agrees to authorise Roseberys, if they so wish, to charge the debit or credit card given in part or full payment, including all fees, for items successfully purchased in the auction via the online bidding platforms. (c) Please note there is no additional surcharge for any lots purchased via RoseberysLive, whether live bidding or commission bidding. Any lots purchased via thesaleroom.com or invaluable.com will be subject to an additional 5% commission charge + VAT at the rate imposed on the hammer price. (d) Roseberys offers online bidding services as a convenience to its clients, but neither Roseberys nor the seller will be responsible to you for errors during or after the sale or failures to execute bids, either live bids or commission bids placed on the internet or on your mobile device, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by: (i) any loss of connection to the auction being conducted online; (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software or the website service provider; and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with any internet connection, computer, mobile device or system. (e) By accessing RoseberysLive and using the software provided you are agreeing to the Website Terms and Conditions governing use of our website. Please ensure you familiarise yourself with these prior to accessing our website. 14. Methods of Payment. Payment can be made by cash (maximum 10,000 euros), debit and credit cards (maximum £1,000 online or over the phone) or bank transfer. For international bank transfers an administration fee of £25 is payable. Any cheques tendered will need to allow 10 days to be cleared before removal of lots purchased is permitted. Please note that regulation of money laundering means we are limited to receiving the equivalent of 10,000 euros in cash payment. 15. Collection and storage (a) Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected promptly. All lots must be collected within five working days following auction. Storage charges of £2 per lot per day + VAT will be strictly enforced thereafter. (b) Roseberys are unable to pack, post or deliver any items purchased through public or online auction, a list of suggested companies is supplied upon issuing of invoices, upon request or on the company website. These are suggestions only and are not the recommendation of Roseberys or affiliated with Roseberys in anyway and as such Roseberys cannot be held responsible for the individual performance of these companies.

Terms of Sale. The seller acknowledges that Lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the Lot.
14. (a)
Description and Conditions Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description of a lot. Buyers are welcome to make an appointment to view any lots listed on an online only auction. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”. Condition Reports. Reports on the condition of any lot are offered by the Auctioneers as a statement of opinion only, and not of fact. Rosebery Fine Art Ltd are not liable for any errors or omissions contained therein. The buyer must satisfy themselves to the condition of any given lot prior to bidding. Roseberys will not be held responsible for any damage or defect that has not been notified to the buyer. Catalogue illustrations are for guidance only and will not convey full information as to the actual condition of lots.

CONDITIONS OF SALE (c)
(d)
Where the term (a/f) is used this refers to a lot being ‘as found’, it is used for guidance only and indicates in our opinion there is significant damage or repair to an item, the omission of this term does not indicate there is not significant damage or repair to an item and Roseberys are not liable for the omission of this term. Private treaty sales made on these premises under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for the purposes of consumer legislation.
15. Forgeries. Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. Roseberys may require the buyer to obtain at the buyer’s cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Roseberys and the buyer. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the Lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) if you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition. The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale. 16. Online Only Timed Auctions These following terms are applicable only to sales conducted online only and are to be used in addition to the conditions of sale. (a) (i)
Right to Cancel If you are a consumer resident in the European Union you have the right to cancel the contract for the purchase of a lot within 14 calendar days without giving any reason. (ii) The cancellation period will expire after 14 calendar days from the day on which you acquire (or a party nominated by you and is not the shipper) physical possession of the lot. (iii) To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear written statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or email), or you may use the cancellation form which can be found on our website or by contacting a member of staff. The communication must be received within 14 calendar days from the day on which you acquire the lot. (iv) If you cancel the contract, we will reimburse all payments received from you. As Roseberys are unable to provide a postage or packing service the cost of the initial delivery or collection is not returnable. In addition the cost of returning the item if you choose to cancel the contract is payable by you. (v) We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of damaged caused by unnecessary handling whilst in your possession. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than (aa) 14 calendar days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied, or (bb) (if earlier) 14 calendar days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods.
(vi) We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is earliest. (b) Liability Roseberys nor the seller will be responsible to you for errors during or after the online only timed auction or failures to execute bids placed on the internet or on your mobile device, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by: any loss of connection to the auction being conducted online; a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software or the website service provider; and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with any connection, computer, mobile device or system. General 17. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person. 18. Where a member of the public causes damage to a lot (or part thereof) the Auctioneers reserve the right to: (a) sell the aforementioned without reserve and to hold that specific individual liable for the amount of any difference between the hammer price and the reserve or low estimate; (b) hold that specific individual liable for the cost of restoration where appropriate; (c) hold that specific individual liable for the full amount of the reserve price or lower estimate as applicable. 19 (a) any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate. (b) Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them. 20. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail or email if provided in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting. 21. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of the catalogue. 22. Any indulgence extended to bidders, buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect. 23. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions. These terms and conditions are based upon recommended conditions of sale by SOFAA (the Society of Fine Art Auctioneers) and RICS (the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors)
