FINE ART, ANTIQUE & RUSSIAN SILVER

The conditions set forth below constitute the terms and conditions on which all property is offered for sale. Bidding at auction, whether present, by absentee bid or LiveAuctioneers, the buyer agrees to be bound by these terms. Your bid is a contract. Bidders are required to register with proper identification prior to the sale and must use the number issued to them when they are the successful bidder. All items are sold to the highest bidder as acknowledged by the auctioneer. The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid; to advance the bidding at his discretion; and, in the event of a dispute between two bidders, determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the lot in dispute. Should there be any dispute after sale, the record of final sale shall be conclusive. All sales are final. Absentee bids will be executed as a convenience to the customer; however, the auction house will not be responsible for any errors or failure to execute bids. (Absentee bids and telephone bids are subject to an in-house buyer's premium of 18%) Prospective absentee bidders should consult the bid increment scale to ensure their bids conform to our printed bidding increments. A minimum bid of $25.00 required on each absentee bid. In the event a left bid is higher than competing bids in the auction hall, the left bid will win the item at the next bidding increment, not necessarily the full amount of the bid. All auction sales and telephone bidding are recorded. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot before or at the sale. Some items offered may be subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. We may implement such reserves by bidding on behalf of the consignor.
