A buyer?s premium of 25% plus VAT is payable on all lots, with an additional 5% for internet bidding making a total of 30% plus VAT (with the exemption of Flints Live). All descriptions and conditions, written or verbal, of lots are based upon information provided by the seller and our opinion, not fact. Lots are sold to the buyer on an ?as seen? basis which may include faults or imperfections. Photographs included in this catalogue are for a guide and may not represent accurate reproduction or colour of a lot. All measurements and sizes are approximate. However, in so far as we have examined the goods and make a representation about their condition, we shall be liable for any defect which that examination ought to have been revealed to the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer had the buyer examined the goods. It is the responsibility of the Buyer, to examine any lot prior to bidding to satisfy himself/herself regarding condition, provenance, period, age, quality, origin and value. Given the age of the lots, they may have been damaged or repaired so you should not assume that a lot is in ?good? condition. Electronic or mechanical parts may not operate as intended and all lots are sold as items of interest for display purposes only. Condition reports are provided on our website or upon request, however, large numbers of requests received shortly before the auction may not receive a response. Forgeries Any lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery may be returned to us within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought and accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of its defects. If we are satisfied with the evidence presented that the lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the lot including any buyer's premium. Jewellery Historically many gemstones have been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance. Sapphires and rubies are routinely heat treated to improve their colour and clarity, similarly, emeralds are frequently treated with oils or resin for the same purpose. Other treatments such as staining, irradiation or coating may have been used on other gem stones. These treatments may be permanent, whilst others may need special care or re-treatment over the years to retain their appearance. Estimates The estimate is printed underneath the lot. Estimates are only an expression of Flint's Actions opinions made on behalf of the vendor of the lot is likely to fall, it is not an estimate of value. Prices depend on the bidding and can sell for hammer prices below or above the estimates, so estimates should not be relied upon as an indication of the actual selling price or value of a Lot. Estimates are in the currency of the sale. Shipping For information and estimates on shipping, either domestic or international, please contact us at info@flintsauctions.com or +44 (0) 20 3086 8550.
