GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SALE
A public exhibition prior to the sale enables prospective buyers to examine the books, works, and documents offered for auction.
Any purchaser participating in the sale, by whatever means and from any country, shall be deemed to have read both the catalogue descriptions relating to the lots on which they bid and the present conditions of sale. Catalogue collations do not necessarily imply that the works are complete; they merely indicate the contents as identified. Plates and illustrations not included in the pagination are checked and verified unless otherwise stated or marked “not collated.”
No claims will be accepted once the lot has been knocked down. Purchasers are requested to inspect their acquisitions carefully upon purchase or receipt and, where possible, to collate them in the auction room immediately after the sale. No claim will be accepted once the items have been removed from the auction premises.
For books and lots sold outside the catalogue (or for lots announced during the sale), no claim may be made after the hammer has fallen, as buyers are given the opportunity to inspect and assess the contents beforehand. Information provided for both catalogue and non-catalogue lots is given for guidance only. Buyers are strongly advised to verify the contents during the viewing period and, if necessary, at the conclusion of the viewing, in order to avoid any inconvenience.
Illustrations reproduced in the catalogue are provided for reference only and cannot be guaranteed to be an exact representation of the originals. Dimensions are given for guidance purposes only.
Payment is due immediately after the sale. All the property is sold in the condition in which it is offered for sale. No claim can be accepted after the fall of the hammer. All prospective buyers shall have the opportunity to inspect each lot for sale during the pre-sale exhibition in order to satisfy themselves as to characteristics, size, colours, repairs or restoration. Any possible modifications in the conditions of sale or in the descriptions of the catalog will be announced verbally during the sale and noted on the official report. The successful purchaser will be the highest bidder and will be obliged to give his or her name and address. In case of contesting at the time of awarding, that is if two or more bidders simultaneously carried an equivalent bid, either aloud, or by sign and demand at the same time this object after the pronouncement of the "awarded/adjugé" word, the aforementioned object will immediately be handed in auction to the proposed price by the bidders and the public will be allowed to bid again.
