FINE ART & ANTIQUES (TIMED ONLINE)
Collections from the Saleroom Collections from our Ripon saleroom are available Tuesday to Friday (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). You may collect in person, instruct your own shipper, or use our recommended shipper listed below. Shipping Where possible, we will do our best to pack and dispatch items in-house for a reasonable charge. Please note that our in-house shipping service is only available for delivery to UK addresses. Due to the risk of damage in transit, we may be unable to accommodate larger or more fragile items. In such cases, we recommend using a professional packing and shipping service. Our recommended shipper is listed below and will be pleased to provide a quotation. All shipping charges are payable directly to the shipping company. Bradleys Antique Packing Services T: +44 (0)1325 281332 E: info@antiquepacking.co.uk Lots will only be released once payment has been received in full. If you appoint a third-party shipper, we require your written authorisation before releasing any goods. If you choose to use an alternative carrier or arrange your own transport, please ensure they are aware they will also be responsible for packing, as we may be unable to do this on your behalf. We take no responsibility for loss or damage in transit; shipping is entirely at the buyer?s risk. Condition Reports Condition Reports are provided upon request; the absence of a Condition Report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. Staff members are not trained restorers or conservators, and, particularly for higher-value lots, you should obtain an opinion from such a professional before the auction. We recommend that you always view a lot in person. 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 generally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers can inspect goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Please note 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. In specified circumstances, lots misdescribed because they are ?deliberate forgeries? may be returned and repayment made. There is a 21-day time limit for this. (The expression ?deliberate forgery? is defined in our Conditions of Sale). Because of the difficulty in determining whether an item of glass has been repolished, reference is only made to visible chips and cracks. No mention is made of repolishing, severe or otherwise. Some lots in this catalogue are accompanied by gemmological certificates, which give an opinion on various aspects of some or all of the stones in any particular lot. These certificates may have been provided to Elstob Auctioneers by the seller or obtained by Elstob Auctioneers for the seller. It should be noted that the content of these certificates is a statement of opinion of the issuing gemmological laboratories only and cannot be guaranteed by Elstob Auctioneers, who will not be held responsible for any disagreement over the content of any certificates after the sale. We also cannot be held accountable for any retrospective change of opinion by the providers of any given certificate. Images in this catalogue, unless expressly stated, are not life-sized. Weights and measurements given in the catalogue descriptions are approximate only. Unless stated otherwise in the catalogue description, prospective buyers should assume that all stones offered for sale by Elstob Auctioneers have been treated. It is common practice for coloured stones, including jade, to be treated to enhance their appearance. Please contact the department if you have any questions regarding stone treatments or enhancements. Some lots, such as those containing ivory, tortoiseshell, coral, etc., may require export or CITES licences to leave the UK or the European Union. It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that lots have the relevant licences before shipping them. Please get in touch with the department for assistance. Please also note that some countries, such as the United States, prohibit purchasing and importing objects from certain countries, such as Iran, Persia and Burma/Myanmar. The buyer must satisfy themselves that the purchased lot may be imported into the destination country.Bidder Reviews for Elstob Auctioneers (61)

Beautiful item
I purchased an antique terra-cotta bowl. Appears to be as described and is beautiful. Obviously it is not cheap to ship from the UK to the United States. That said, whilst it was expensive, more than the item itself, it appears to have arrived undamaged. Which was my biggest concern because of course it's terra-cotta.
