This check is secure, your card details are not seen by us and no funds will be deducted. BIDDING P RIORITY

Please note that we prioritise executing commission bids as early as possible in order to secure the lot for you at the cheapest possible price. It is therefore entirely possible that a lot can sell at your top bid to another bidder. To avoid this happening we offer an optional ‘Plus 1’ bidding increment facility, whereby if the bidding is against you at your maximum bid the auctioneer will execute one further bid on your behalf. Please note that in the event of identical top bids priority is given to the first bid received. P L ACIN G B IDS

I K I N G links with England and Western Europe brought coin use to Dublin by the second half of the 10th century. Hoards buried in the 990s consist of post-Reform pennies of Edward the Martyr and Æthelred II. It is not surprising therefore that when the Norse King of Dublin, Sihtric II ‘Silkbeard’ Olafsson, introduced a local coinage it was closely based on the English model. This is thought to have happened in the last few years of the century, despite considerable political and military upheaval at the time. The first issues, copied from Æthelred’s CRVX and Long Cross types, were highly literate and carry the names of Sihtric or Æthelred coupled with the mint name of Dublin as well as a handful of English mints. It is believed despite appearances these were all struck in Dublin, with the English names being slavishly copied by Sihtric’s moneyers. Decades of copying took their toll and the legends became less and less comprehensible as the years

passed. Sihtric was dethroned in 1036 and around the same time, it seems, any semblance of literacy was lost. Dolley divided the coinage in seven phases and the first two (c. 997–1020 and c. 1020–35) neatly coincide with Sihtric’s reign. His successors to the Dublin Kingship unfortunately remain anonymous on the coins they authorised. Phase III (c. 1035–55) continues broadly with the previous design but struck at a lower weight standard. Weight and fineness continue to decline in the second half of the century and the types and designs are diversified - some copying English or Scandinavian types, others apparently original in their concept. This variety may suggest a loosening of Dublin’s monopoly but the identification of other mint-towns would be pure conjecture. By the turn of the 12th century coinage had all but ceased; a situation that would last for about 50 years.

JO HN TO HENRY V I

H

E N RY II’s invasion of Ireland in 1171 was not only a political gamble but also a commercial venture and to facilitate trade, a functioning currency would be necessary. When he made his youngest son John Lord of Ireland in 1177, we see the establishment of a feudal coinage, not unlike that found in the Anglo-Gallic territories in France. Politically, only inferior denominations, halfpence and farthings, were acceptable and these were designed to circulate locally to meet the commercial demands of colony. John’s succession to the throne, and subsequent loss of many of his Continental territories, gave Ireland a new importance in his mind. In 1204 a mint was set up in Dublin and, with other monetary reforms carried out in England in 1205, a new Irish coinage, equal in weight and fineness to

its English counterpart, was created. The pennies would have facilitated international trade, while the round halfpence and farthings would have circulated locally. However, the Irish economy could not support such a situation and after little more than five years, local sources of bullion were exhausted and the mints closed in or soon after 1210. This unfortunate cycle was repeated twice over the next century, with subsequent recoinages in 1250 and 1280 resulting in more specie being drained from the territory’s economy, as the English monarchs exploited what wealth there was in the country for their own ends. The period from 1302 to 1450 is one of almost complete inactivity with two abortive coinages in 1339 and 1425 resulting in no more than a handful of surviving specimens - the star-marked halfpence of Edward III and the Englishstyle penny of Henry VI.

EDWARD I V

P

OL I T I C AL instability in England at the start of the Wars of the Roses led the Irish parliament in Dublin to pass legislation to introduce a coinage which broke with the traditions of the previous three centuries. With Richard Duke of York in Ireland planning the overthrow of Henry VI, a coinage was planned that was no longer interchangeable with its English counterpart. The coins were to be of distinctive design and with an intrinsic value less than their nominal face value. This, it was hoped, would prevent the age old problem of the wholesale export of bullion from the colony. Such a radical departure from tradition produced a series of design changes in quick succession, no less than five in a decade, and many of them innovative. Added to this, there is an issue of minor coins in base metal, farthings and halffarthings to fill the role of small change - an experiment also tried in Scotland during the same decade. The political uncertainty before Henry’s defeat at the Battle of Towton in 1461, even led to an anonymous coinage, appropriate for whoever might emerge victorious from the chaos. As befits a coinage designed for local circulation, Dublin was

soon supplemented by other mints - Drogheda, Limerick, Trim and Waterford amongst others. This solution caused its own problems, however, with a lack of direct control over the ‘branch’ mints leading to irregularities, both real and perceived. Political sensitivity and royal self-esteem led to the resumption of English types in 1465–7 and again in 1473–8 but problems with the export of these coins to England to be passed into circulation for more than they were worth meant that both attempts were short-lived. Edward’s reign closed with the attractive Suns and Roses type and this was continued under Richard III for a short time, later to be replaced by the even more distinctive Three Crowns issue. Numismatically, the first two decades of the Tudor dynasty belong in the late medieval period. The distinctively Irish Three Crowns motif is followed by more traditional English design of crowned facing head and cross and pellet reverse. However the latter are now easily distinguished from their English counterparts, being smaller, lighter and of cruder style and execution. The Waterford mint ceased striking c.1490 and Dublin closed around 1505/6.

TUDO R

A

F TE R the Dublin mint closed c.1505, it was only reopened for three years during the whole of the rest of the century. After a hiatus of some thirty years, a new coinage was introduced for circulation in Ireland but this was struck in London. From its very inception in 1534, the Harp coinage was struck at an inferior fineness to the English coins - a fact more easily concealed by being manufactured at the Tower. It seems that Henry was using the Irish as guinea-pigs in his experiments with debasement which culminated a decade later in England with the economic crisis of the later 1540s. The royal arms on the obverse are now crowned and the distinctively Irish Three Crowns reverse is replaced by the harp, a design associated with the Gaelic High-King Brian Boru. Edward VI reopened the Dublin mint briefly in 1550–3 and struck coins of English type under the local mintmasters Thomas Agard and Martin Pirie, although these are in the name of Henry VIII and bear his portrait. Mary closed the mint again soon after her accession in 1553 and while she and her successor Elizabeth worked hard to restore the English coinage and

economy, base coins (some now only 3-ounces fine) continued to be struck in London for circulation in the colony. Issues in 1553, 1555, 1558 and 1601 followed this pattern. A brief attempt by Elizabeth to restore a better silver coinage in 1561 came to nought. To supplement these meagre issues, base coins called in in England in the 1560s were sent to Ireland for use there. Not good enough to circulate at home, they were deemed sufficient for the colony. During the second half of the century, fine English coins were imported into the country and these, without the trouble or expense of recoinage, circulated at a premium alongside the baser issues. And herein lay the answer to the problem of the Irish coinage. On his accession in 1603, James VI had ruled in Scotland for 35 years and was well aware of the problems of an unstable currency. After two short-lived attempts between 1603 and 1607 to continue with a separate currency, it became clear that a monetary union of England and Ireland (as well as Scotland) was the way ahead. Put English coins into circulation in Ireland and let them find their own face value, tariffed at a rate in keeping with the economic circumstances of the place and time.

he Littlebrook Hoard was discovered on 12 May 2004 during excavations for the foundations of a new extension to Littlebrook Farm in Belchalwell Street, Dorset. The farmhouse is a grade 2 listed dwelling and is said to date from the early seventeenth century although evidence has shown that a dwelling or buildings certainly pre-dated that period. The current owners gained permission to extend the building, with early photographs in their possession confirming that the new build would, in fact, replace a previously destroyed structure. The removal of a concrete area, then used for car parking, revealed a terracotta tiled floor, these tiles being carefully removed for use elsewhere. When work on the new foundations began, the mechanical digger unearthed a pottery jug which was found to contain 213 silver coins, 176 groats and 37 half groats in varying condition, the bulk dating from the reign of Henry VII (1485–1509). As required, the find was reported and submitted to the British Museum and the coins were examined

and catalogued by Dr Barrie Cook, the Curator of Medieval Coins. An inquest was held in Dorchester in March 2005 and the find was confirmed as Treasure Trove and thus subject to the relevant legal rules. The coins are all English silver issues and of the official sterling silver standard. The fact that the coins were discovered in a container is clear evidence that they were deposited on a single occasion and they represent a selected body of higher value silver coins from the currency of the early sixteenth century, before the new weight standard of 1526 was introduced. The earliest coin recorded was a half groat from the reign of Edward III, dated c. 1351–2, and the latest a half groat issued from York after Wolsey was appointed bishop in 1514. The coins are thought to have been deposited probably c. 1514–1520. The reasons for their deposit are not known. Littlebrook Farm lies in an isolated area of the Blackmore Vale, a mile from the nearest hamlet and about 14 miles from Dorchester. The area is known to be on the regular

smuggling routes from the coastal areas of Portland to centres such as Salisbury and Bristol which could be an explanation for the hoard’s deposit. The pottery jug, which unfortunately was broken during the lifting, is of simple design with a crimped edge and was confirmed by the Museum as dating from the late fifteenth century and originating from the Ruhr area of Germany. In accordance with the rules relating to Treasure the hoard was offered to local museums and the jug and thirteen of the coins were removed and are now the property of the Dorset County Museum. After discussion and settlement with the finders, the current owners decided to retain the remaining 200 coins but have now decided to offer them for sale on the open market with full provenance. Most British medieval coin hoards tend to contain only the larger denominations in circulation, the smaller coins being deliberately excluded by the saver. These are referred to as ‘savings hoards’. On the other hand, deposits of the contents of a purse or pocket will contain the small denomination coins which circulated on a daily basis - these are often called ‘circulation hoards’ or ‘purse finds’. Numismatically, the present savings hoard represents a typical selection of coinage of the period and seems to be an amalgam of two distinct groups - the figures given below are based on the 200 coins offered for sale in this catalogue (the 13 coins retained by the Dorset Museum do not materially affect the overview of the contents or the conclusions drawn). The earlier group comprises 12 coins struck between 1465 and 1478 [lots 197-208]. These pieces, whilst not being in as good condition as the later coins, do not exhibit sufficient wear to have been in continuous circulation for the best part of fifty years and appear to have been set aside some years before the final deposit. The balance of 188 pieces dates from c. 1498-1515 [lots 209-396]. There are only two coins (both retained by the Dorset Museum) coins which were issued during the intervening 20 years or so. While it is not surprising that the rare issues of Richard III are not present, the dearth of the earlier types of Henry VII (Potter & Winstanley I, II, IIIa and IIIb) is a little puzzling and probably points to the deposit being from two discrete sources.

The chronology and dating of the issues of Henry VII have still not been fully agreed among numismatists but the present hoard fits within the parameters of what is currently accepted. The bulk of the coins in the hoard were struck during the course of the cross-crosslet and pheon mintmarks. The former, introduced in the spring of 1504, marks the transition from facing to profile bust type - a complex sequence of issues, some experimental, including facing bust, tentative and regular profile coins spanning a busy 18 month period during 1504–05. As the new design became established, the mark was changed to pheon and coins of this type were issued until the end of the reign (and a few months into the following); surviving records show large quantities of silver were processed during this period. In the new reign, the ratio of coins of different mintmarks and their overall relatively unworn condition suggests the hoard was deposited no later than c. 1520. Among the Henry VII highlights in the hoard are a rare and attractive crowned leopard’s head facing bust groat [lot 212], three tentative issue groats [lots 237-9], two rare regular profile groats with double mintmark on reverse [lots 261-2], and an apparently unrecorded martlet/rose halfgroat of Abp. Bainbridge of York [lot 365]. In the following reign, there are four rare groats with mm. pheon, one with the Kings’s numeral altered from VII to VIII [lots 366-9], a groat with mm. portcullis over crowned T, reusing an obverse die originally cut for the coinage of Tournai in the late spring of 1514 [lot 396] and a mm. castle Groat with the highly unusual reading AGLIE [lot 373].

The area where the hoard was found is the concrete pad at the end of the farmhouse

he presence of three tentative Groats in the Littlebrook hoard invites us to reconsider this experimental phase of Henry VII’s coinage. In their definitive BNJ article Potter and Winstanley discussed the early Tentative groats (unmarked, mm. lis and mm. greyhound’s head) in great detail, but neglected to treat the crosscrosslet coins in the same manner. Presented here are some preliminary observations of the crosscrosslet coins; offered, we hope, in advance of a more comprehensive study. The following comments are based on a sample of 109 coins, struck from 29 obverse dies. In the language of die studies, the sample provides a good coverage of the obverse dies originally employed; it is probable that only a few of the obverse dies originally employed are unrecorded here. In the list below we give in square brackets two figures for each obverse die; the number of observed specimens to have been struck by that particular obverse die, followed by the number of different reverse dies employed in the striking of these coins. Generally, the number of different reverse dies is close to the number of overall specimens, and reverse die links are uncommon. Thus, the coverage of the reverse dies is poor and our current knowledge of must be considered incomplete. For this reason the discussion below will focus almost entirely on the obverse dies.

groats of mm. greyhound’s head. One peculiarity here is the die sinker’s tendency to leave a small gap between the front of the king’s neck and the tunic. On all of these obverse dies the crown is adorned with six uprights, as opposed to the crockets. With respect to the legend, ANGLIE is abbreviated to either ANGL or AGLI, whereas in subgroups 2 and 3 AGL is largely preferred. The font used is Potter and Winstanley’s G3b, characterised by the use of an F with a long front bar. In general, the Tentative groats (of all mint-marks) show a considerable degree of variation of design and legend, which is typical of an experimental coinage. The homogeneity seen in this first group reflects the production of dies in batches during this period. Contemporary sources make references to the sinking of dies by the ‘dozen’, comprising four obverse and eight reverse dies. Dies 1-4 almost certainly represent one such batch, sunk on a single occasion by an engraver using the same puncheons and with singular intentions as to the layout of the coin and the arrangement of the various ornaments.

It is convenient to divide the cross-crosslet tentative groats into three subgroups, each defined by minor variations in the legend and design. These groups are discussed here sequentially, and it is possible that they represented distinct chronological phases of the coinage. The current paucity of reverse die links prevents certainty on this point.

Obverse dies 5 and 6 show minor variation in the king’s hair, which is augmented by several additional curls at the back of the neck in an attempt to give the hair a fuller appearance. The experiment was an unsuccessful one and was soon abandoned. These same dies are more remarkable for the reverse dies with which they were paired. As was noted above, very few reverse die links have been noted across the cross-crosslet Tentative coinage. Obverse dies 5 and 6 provide the exceptions to this rule. All three reverse dies employed with obverse 5 were were also paired with either obverse 2 or 4. Likewise, both reverse dies paired with obverse 6 were also employed with obverse 1.

Of the three subgroups the first is both the smallest and the most homogeneous in nature. The portraits on these dies are tall, elegant and quite similar to those which appear on the preceding Tentative

The second subgroup of obverse dies is more difficult to define, and in a real sense the material gathered here simply reflects those coins which do not easily fit into groups 1 or 3. Nonetheless, there

are some common characteristics which we might identify. All of the obverse dies listed here have crowns marked with crockets, as opposed to the uprights employed in the previous phase; all (with one notable exception) make use of the abbreviation ‘AGL’, and all (again, with one exception) use the lettering 3Ga. We begin with the two famous obverse dies on which a fleured tressure has been placed around the king’s face. Die 7 is, excepting this remarkable feature, quite similar to the other obverse dies in group 2. The presence of the tressure has necessitated an alteration to the king’s hair, which is now laid a little closer to the face and is thus less full around the nape. Die 8 has a similar portrait but an anomalous legend, reminiscent of those employed for the contemporary facing bust coins (see lot 229 in Littlebrook). Dies 9 to 12 are again quite homogenous in nature, and probably represent another batch of irons, engraved on a single occasion by a single hand. Compared to the dies of group 1, the neck is a little shorter and better fitted into the tunic. Like the tressured coins, the hair lies closer to the back of the head. Dies 13 to 15 are superficially similar to one another, but probably do not represent a single batch of dies for there is a little too much variation in their appearance. The hair on die 15 is different to that seen elsewhere, with more numerous fine curls. Dies 16 and 17 are very close in appearance and clearly contemporaneous; they show further signs of experimentation in regards to the bust. Here, the face has been angled upwards slightly, promoting the king’s chin and jaw, while the hair has been tilted in

the opposite direction so that the bottom curls are now further from the neck. On dies 19 and 20 this effect is exaggerated further still, resulting in an even lower, broader head. Obverse 21 is in many ways anomalous and is assigned here tentatively. The portrait is rather low, like the others of this group, and the crown adorned with crockets. However, the lettering is not 3Ga. The F has a long, broad front (it is possible that the puncheon used here is different to that applied on dies 1-6). The last subgroup of cross-crosslet obverse dies is characterised by a change in the form of the letter D (and C, for the same puncheon was used for both letters). The new letter does not occur on the facing bust coins of this mint mark but is to be found on the regular cross-crosslet profile groats. It is blockier than that previously used, has a more distinctly pointed back and less pronounced serifs. The space at the centre of the letter is rectangular in shape with sharp corners, and it is this feature which aids the most in its identification. The appearance of this letter appears to confirm that the tentative issue continued beyond the currency of the facing bust issue. Dies 22-24 continue the same low broad face mentioned above, whereas dies 25-27 revert back to the tall elegant bust seen in group 1. Indeed, die 25 is remarkably close in appearance to die 4, in respect not only to the construction of the bust but also the legend and its punctuation. It is only the use of crockets on the crown and the late, rectangularcentred D which reveal that these dies were created on separate occasions.

Every bidder shall be deemed to act as principal unless there is in force a written acknowledgement by Noonans Mayfair Ltd. (“Noonans”) that he acts as agent on behalf of a named principal. Bids will be executed in the order that they are received. 2 Minimum increment The auctioneer shall have the right to refuse any bid which does not conform to Noonans’ published bidding increments which may be found at noonans.co.uk and in the bidding form included with the auction catalogue. 3 The premium The buyer shall pay to Noonans a premium of 24% on the ‘hammer price’ and agrees that Noonans, when acting as agent for the seller, may also receive commission from the seller in accordance with Condition 16. 4 Value Added Tax (VAT) The buyers’ premium is subject to the current rate of Value Added Tax if the lot is delivered to or collected by the purchaser within the UK. Lots marked ‘X’ are subject to importation VAT of 5% on the hammer price unless re-exported outside the UK, as per the conditions below. Buyers who wish to hand carry their lots to export them from the UK will be charged VAT at the prevailing rate and importation VAT(where applicable) and will not be able to claim a VAT refund. Buyers will only be able to secure a VAT free invoice and/or VAT refund if the goods are exported by Noonans or a pre-approved commercial shipper. Where the buyer instructs a pre-approved commercial shipper, proof of correct export out of the UK must be provided to Noonans by the buyer within 30 days of export and no later than 90 days from the date of the sale. Refunds are subject to a £50 administrative fee. Lots marked ‘††’ are subject to the Standard Rate of VAT, currently 20%, on both the hammer price and buyers’ premium.

6 Payment When a lot is sold the buyer shall:

(a) to proceed against the buyer for damages for breach of contract. (b) to rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the defaulting buyer at the same or any other auction. (c) to re-sell the lot or cause it to be re-sold by public auction or private sale and the defaulting buyer shall pay to Noonans any resulting deficiency in the ‘total amount due’ (after deduction of any part payment and addition of re-sale costs) and any surplus shall belong to the seller. (d) to remove, store and insure the lot at the expense of the defaulting buyer and, in the case of storage, either at Noonans’ premises or elsewhere. (e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 2 percent per month on the ‘total amount due’ to the extent it remains unpaid for more than 5 working days after the day of the auction. (f) to retain that or any other lot sold to the same buyer at the sale or any other auction and release it only after payment of the ‘total amount due’. (g) to reject or ignore any bids made by or on behalf of the defaulting buyer at any future auctions or obtaining a deposit before accepting any bids in future. (h) to apply any proceeds of sale then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the defaulting buyer towards settlement of the ‘total amount due’ and to exercise a lien on any property of the defaulting buyer which is in Noonans’ possession for any purpose.

(a) confirm to Noonans his or her name and address and, if so requested, give proof of identity; and (b) pay to Noonans the ‘total amount due’ in pounds sterling within five working days of the end of the sale (unless credit terms have been agreed with Noonans before the auction). Please note that we will not accept cash payments in excess of £5,000 (five thousand pounds) in settlement for purchases made at any one auction. 7 Noonans may, at its absolute discretion, agree credit terms with the buyer before an auction under which the buyer will be entitled to take possession of lots purchased up to an agreed amount in value in advance of payment by a determined future date of the ‘total amount due’. 8 Any payments by a buyer to Noonans may be applied by Noonans towards any sums owing from that buyer to Noonans on any account whatever, without regard to any directions of the buyer, his or her agent, whether expressed or implied. 9 Collection of purchases The ownership of the lot(s) purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he or she has made payment in full to Noonans of the ‘total amount due’ in pounds sterling. 10 (a) The buyer shall at his or her own expense take away the lot(s) purchased not later than 5 working days after the day of the auction but (unless credit terms have been agreed in accordance with Condition 7) not before payment to Noonans of the ‘total amount due’. (b) The buyer shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges on any lot not taken away within 5 working days after the day of the auction. (c) The packing and handling of purchased lots by Noonans staff is undertaken solely as a courtesy to clients and, in the case of fragile articles, will be undertaken only at Noonans’ discretion. In no event will Noonans be liable for damage to glass or frames, regardless of the cause. Bulky lots or sharp implements, etc., may not be suitable for in-house shipping. 11 Buyers’ responsibilities for lots purchased The buyer will be responsible for loss or damage to lots purchased from the time of collection or the expiry of 5 working days after the day of the auction, whichever is the sooner. Neither Noonans nor its servants or agents shall thereafter be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, while any lot is in its custody or under its control. Loss and damage warranty cover at the rate of 1.5% will be applied to any lots despatched by Noonans to destinations outside the UK, unless specifically instructed otherwise by the consignee. 12 Remedies for non-payment or failure to collect purchase If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with Conditions 6 and 10, or if there is any other breach of either of those Conditions, Noonans as agent of the seller shall, at its absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights it may have, be entitled to exercise one or

13 Liability of Noonans and sellers (a) Goods auctioned are usually of some age. All goods are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description. Illustrations in catalogues are for identification only. Buyers should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the condition of each lot and should exercise and rely on their own judgement as to whether the lot accords with its description. Subject to the obligations accepted by Noonans under this Condition, none of the seller, Noonans, its servants or agents is responsible for errors of descriptions or for the genuineness or authenticity of any lot. No warranty whatever is given by Noonans, its servants or agents, or any seller to any buyer in respect of any lot and any express or implied conditions or warranties are hereby excluded. (b) Any lot which proves to be a ‘deliberate forgery’ may be returned by the buyer to Noonans within 15 days of the date of the auction in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction, accompanied by a statement of defects, the number of the lot, and the date of the auction at which it was purchased. If Noonans is satisfied that the item is a ‘deliberate forgery’ and that the buyer has and is able to transfer a good and marketable title to the lot free from any third party claims, the sale will be set aside and any amount paid in respect of the lot will be refunded, provided that the buyer shall have no rights under this Condition if: (i) the description in the catalogue at the date of the sale was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of such opinion; or (ii) the only method of establishing at the date of publication of the catalogue that the lot was a

‘deliberate forgery’ was by means of scientific processes not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalogue or a process which was unreasonably expensive or impractical. (c) A buyer’s claim under this Condition shall be limited to any amount paid in respect of the lot and shall not extend to any loss or damage suffered or expense incurred by him or her. (d) The benefit of the Condition shall not be assignable and shall rest solely and exclusively in the buyer who, for the purpose of this condition, shall be and only be the person to whom the original invoice is made out by Noonans in respect of the lot sold. CO N DITIONS M AINLY CONCERN ING SE L L E R S AND CONSIGN OR S 14 Warranty of title and availability The seller warrants to Noonans and to the buyer that he or she is the true owner of the property or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. The seller will indemnify Noonans, its servants and agents and the buyer against any loss or damage suffered by either in consequence of any breach on the part of the seller. 15 Reserves The seller shall be entitled to place, prior to the first day of the auction, a reserve at or below the low estimate on any lot provided that the low estimate is more than £100. Such reserve being the minimum ‘hammer price’ at which that lot may be treated as sold. A reserve once placed by the seller shall not be changed without the consent of Noonans. Noonans may at their option sell at a ‘hammer price’ below the reserve but in any such cases the sale proceeds to which the seller is entitled shall be the same as they would have been had the sale been at the reserve. Where a reserve has been placed, only the auctioneer may bid on behalf of the seller. 16 Authority to deduct commission and expenses The seller authorises Noonans to deduct commission at the ‘stated rate’ and ‘expenses’ from the ‘hammer price’ and acknowledges Noonans’ right to retain the premium payable by the buyer. 17 Rescission of sale If before Noonans remit the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller, the buyer makes a claim to rescind the sale that is appropriate and Noonans is of the opinion that the claim is justified, Noonans is authorised to rescind the sale and refund to the buyer any amount paid to Noonans in respect of the lot. 18 Payment of sale proceeds Noonans shall remit the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller 35 days after the auction, but if by that date Noonans has not received the ‘total amount due’ from the buyer then Noonans will remit the sale proceeds within five working days after the date on which the ‘total amount due’ is received from the buyer. If credit terms have been agreed between Noonans and the buyer, Noonans shall remit to the seller the sale proceeds 35 days after the auction unless otherwise agreed by the seller. 19 If the buyer fails to pay to Noonans the ‘total amount due’ within 35 days after the auction, Noonans will endeavour to notify the seller and take the seller’s instructions as to the appropriate course of action and, so far as in Noonans’ opinion is practicable, will assist the seller to recover the

‘total amount due’ from the buyer. If circumstances do not permit Noonans to take instructions from the seller, the seller authorises Noonans at the seller’s expense to agree special terms for payment of the ‘total amount due’, to remove, store and insure the lot sold, to settle claims made by or against the buyer on such terms as Noonans shall in its absolute discretion think fit, to take such steps as are necessary to collect monies due by the buyer to the seller and if necessary to rescind the sale and refund money to the buyer if appropriate. 20 If, notwithstanding that, the buyer fails to pay to Noonans the ‘total amount due’ within 35 days after the auction and Noonans remits the ‘sale proceeds’ to the seller, the ownership of the lot shall pass to Noonans. 21 Charges for withdrawn lots Where a seller cancels instructions for sale, Noonans reserve the right to charge a fee of 15% of Noonans’ then latest middle estimate of the auction price of the property withdrawn, together with Value Added Tax thereon if the seller is resident in the UK, and ‘expenses’ incurred in relation to the property. 22 Rights to photographs and illustrations The seller gives Noonans full and absolute right to photograph and illustrate any lot placed in its hands for sale and to use such photographs and illustrations and any photographs and illustrations provided by the seller at any time at its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the auction). 23 Unsold lots Where any lot fails to sell, Noonans shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot. 24 Noonans reserve the right to charge commission up to one-half of the ‘stated rates’ calculated on the ‘bought-in price’ and in addition ‘expenses’ in respect of any unsold lots. GENE RA L CO N D I TI O N S AN D DE FIN IT I O N S 25 Noonans sells as agent for the seller (except where it is stated wholly or partly to own any lot as principal) and as such is not responsible for any default by seller or buyer. 26 Any representation or statement by Noonans, in any catalogue as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his or her own judgement as to such matters and neither Noonans nor its servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. 27 Whilst the interests of prospective buyers are best served by attendance at the auction, Noonans will, if so instructed, execute bids on their behalf. Neither Noonans nor its servants or agents are responsible for any neglect or default in doing so or for failing to do so. 28 Noonans shall have the right, at its discretion, to refuse admission to its premises or attendance at its auctions by any person. 29 Noonans has absolute discretion without giving any reason to refuse any bid, to divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots, to withdraw any lot from the auction and in case of dispute to put

up any lot for auction again. 30 (a) Any indemnity under these Conditions shall extend to all actions, proceedings costs, expenses, claims and demands whatever incurred or suffered by the person entitled to the benefit of the indemnity. (b) Noonans declares itself to be a trustee for its relevant servants and agents of the benefit of every indemnity under these Conditions to the extent that such indemnity is expressed to be for the benefit of its servants and agents. 31 Any notice by Noonans to a seller, consignor, prospective bidder or buyer may be given by first class mail, airmail or email and if so given shall be deemed to have been duly received by the addressee within 48 hours. 32 These Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law. All transactions to which these Conditions apply and all matters connected therewith shall also be governed by English law. Noonans hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts and all other parties concerned hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. 33 In these Conditions: (a) ‘catalogue’ includes any advertisement, brochure, estimate, price list or other publication; (b) ‘hammer price’ means the price at which a lot is knocked down by the auctioneer to the buyer; (c) ‘total amount due’ means the ‘hammer price’ in respect of the lot sold together with any premium, Value Added Tax chargeable and additional charges and expenses due from a defaulting buyer in pounds sterling; (d) ‘deliberate forgery’ means an imitation made with the intention of deceiving as to authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source which is not shown to be such in the description in the catalogue and which at the date of the sale had a value materially less than it would have had if it had been in accordance with that description; (e) ‘sale proceeds’ means the net amount due to the seller being the ‘hammer price’ of the lot sold less commission at the ‘stated rates’ and ‘expenses’ and any other amounts due to Noonans by the seller in whatever capacity and howsoever arising; (f) ‘stated rate’ means Noonans’ published rates of commission for the time and any Value Added Tax thereon; (g) ‘expenses’ in relation to the sale of any lot means Noonans charges and expenses for insurance, illustrations, special advertising, certification, remedials, packing and freight of that lot and any Value Added Tax thereon; (h) ‘bought-in price’ means 5 per cent more than the highest bid received below the reserve. 34 Vendors’ commission of sales A commission of 15% is payable by the vendor on the hammer price on lots sold. Insurance is charged at 1.5% of the hammer price. 35 VAT Commission, illustrations, insurance and expenses are subject to VAT if the seller is resident in the UK.
