December 2019 Antiques & Collectables

Potential buyers are strongly urged to attend our pre-sale viewings at our saleroom. For international buyers and those unable to attend a viewing all lots can be seen online through our live bidding partners. If you require further details of any lot please contact the saleroom. As well as in person at our saleroom we offer other ways of bidding. ​ You can bid on all our sales through our online partners LiveAuctioneers (please note an additional 5% will be added to the buyers premium when bidding online). Full instructions for registration and bidding are provided on their website. Those unable to attend the auction may leave an absentee – or commission/written – bid with the auctioneer, reflecting the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the lot. We are happy to execute these on your behalf and will purchase the lot for you at the lowest possible price, other bids and reserves permitting. Absentee bids are offered as a free service and at the buyer’s risk. We cannot accept liability for any failure to place such bids, and bids are accepted at the buyer’s risk. BUYER'S PREMIUM For all sales buyers will pay the hammer price plus a buyer's premium of 17% of the hammer price. Online bidders will incur an additional 5% premium on the hammer price (22% total). DELIVERY Where possible we urge buyers to collect their purchases directly from our saleroom. For international buyers and those unable to collect in person we can arrange fully insured delivery at an additional cost payable by the buyer. Please contact our saleroom for a quote. All buyers will be invoiced within 24 hours of the end of the auction. Payment is required within 24 hours of invoicing. All funds must be cleared before goods are released. ​ We request that all purchases are collected immediately after the sale. If you require us to store the items for you, this can be arranged for a fee. ​ Only following payment (cleared funds) and collection of the purchased item(s) is the purchase contract deemed to be completed. It is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure both payment and collection are arranged in a period of time following the sale date of no more than 14 days. Should the buyer be unable to conform, they must obtain approval prior to purchase. Talat Auctions reserves the right to charge for storage and associated costs for non-payment/collection that exceed the 14 day allowance. Storage charges will be levied at a rate of £5.00 + VAT per lot per day. All amounts accrued up to the date of collection must be paid before goods are released. If the buyer has failed to collect within a period of 28 days (from sale date), Talat Auctions reserves the right to re-enter the uncollected items through auction, to recover the cost of storage and associated costs. At this time the buyer relinquishes all claims to ownership and any right to financial compensation. https://www.talatauctions.com/terms-conditions
