Care is taken to ensure that any statement as to authorship, attributions, date, age, provenance and condition is reliable and accurate but all such statements are statements of opinion and are not to be taken as statements or presentations of fact. The auctioneers disclaim any liability for themselves or the Vendor for any errors of description.

6. All lots are sold as seen with all faults and imperfections. A full condition report is recomended - please contact us prior to the sale day by email or telephone. Neither the auctioneers nor the vendor are liable for any faults or defects . Each bidder must satisfy themselves by enquiry as to the condition and description of the lot including any damage, repairs or restoration.

9. In bidding the Purchaser acknowledges that he has satisfied himself with the Conditions of Sale and the description and condition of lots and agrees to be bound by them.
10. Lots are sold subject to any amendments, declarations, announcements or alterations to the description which can be made at any time by the Auctioneer prior to the invitation of bids.
11. On the fall of the hammer the lot shall become and remain in every respect the responsibility of the Purchaser and be held at their risk. This risk includes burglary, fire, theft and breakage.

This will not apply if the description indicates that there was any conflict of opinion or the auctioneers opinion is in general accordance with the general opinion of experts. The burden of proof lies with the purchaser who must produce evidence that the lot is a forgery.
15. Payment can be made by debit card or credit card via the-saleroom.com. The purchaser will be asked to pay by bank transfer for high value items or large invoices.
