ART + DESIGN AUCTION - NOVEMBER 18, 2018

TERMS OF SALE Each lot in a Treadway auction and/or catalog is subject to the following terms and conditions of sale, as supplemented in writing or otherwise by us at any time prior to the sale. By registering to bid, bidding, or purchasing in any way a lot from Treadway, the client agrees to be bound by these terms. Auction The auction is open to the public and there is no admission fee or obligation to bid. The auctioneer will introduce each object for sale, hereby referred to as 'lots', in numerical order as listed in the corresponding catalog or website. The estimates that appear with each lot description are approximations reflecting the range in which the hammer price may fall. Some lots are subject to a reserve, the price below which an item cannot be sold. In most instances, the reserve is less than the low estimate. The auctioneer determines the highest bidder and selling price of every lot. He or she may re-offer and resell any lot, and will be responsible for resolving any dispute in bidding. The judgment of the auctioneer is final and binding. Bidding To bid in any sale, a client must register with Treadway prior to or at the sale. To register, Treadway requests that the client provide a form of photo identification, such as a state-issued driver's license, passport, or government-issued identification. If this is the client's first time bidding, Treadway reserves the right to require bank references or a credit card. All clients, established or new, will be asked to provide client's most up to date contact information. If bidding on behalf of another, Treadway requires authorization of the absent client, and identification from both parties. A client unable to attend the sale may bid via phone, absentee, or online. Please complete and submit an absentee or telephone bid form as included in the catalog, on our website, or at the auction house. Treadway assumes no responsibility for a failure to execute any bid or errors or omissions made in connection with any remote bidding arrangement. During phone bidding, an agent representing Treadway will call the client during the live sale to execute bids on client's behalf. The client should instruct Treadway's agent to bid as they choose. Please make arrangements for phone bidding as early as possible as there are a limited number of phone lines available. Treadway does not guarantee an available phone line if arrangements are made after 5:00pm EST on the day prior to a sale. Please note that phone bidding is reserved for items estimated at $500 or greater. Clients may leave absentee bids to be executed by one of our representatives. Treadway makes every effort to purchase a lot as inexpensively as possible without exceeding the client's limit. It's recommended that clients submit absentee bids as early as possible in the correct increments as shown below. Should identical absentee bids from separate clients come in, the first one received will be honored. Please submit absentee bids prior to 5:00pm EST on the day prior to the sale.
