Any condition statement given to a client, is only an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact. The Gallery shall have no responsibility for any error or omission. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. The Gallery strongly recommends that one reviews a condition report for each item on which one plans to bid. Right of Rescission Not withstanding the preceding conditions, if within 21 days of the date of sale of any lot, the original purchaser? gives notice in writing to us alleging that the identification of Authorship (as defined below) of such lot is not substantially correct based on a fair reading of the catalogue (including the terms of glossary contained therein) and within 10 days after such notice returns the lots to us in the same condition as at the time of sale and establishes the allegation in the notice to our satisfaction then the sale of such lot will be rescinded and the original purchase price refunded. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as an admission by us of any representation of fact, express or implied, obligation or responsibility with respect to any lot. The purchaser?s sole remedy in the physical condition and size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, and literature of historical relevance. Although our best judgment is used in attributing paintings, drawings and sculpture created prior to 1870 through the appropriate use of the glossary terms, and due care is taken to ensure the correctness of the supplemental material, the right of rescission does not extend to any possible errors or omissions therein.

Do we guarantee that a certain piece of art is by a particular artist? Please see the catalog description. All authorship of items in this catalog are described according to the following terms: By Maurice Braun In our opinion, the work is by the artist. Attributed to Maurice Braun In our opinion, the work may be ascribed to the artist on the basis of style, but there may be some question as to actual authorship. In the manner of Maurice Braun In our opinion, the work was executed by an unknown hand, but was designed deliberately to emulate the style of the artist. After Maurice Braun In our opinion, the work was executed by an unknown hand, but is a deliberate copy of a known work by the artist. Circle of Maurice Braun In our opinion, a work of the period of the artist showing his influence, closely associated with the artist but not necessarily his pupil. Follower of Maurice Braun In our opinion, a work by a pupil or a follower of the artist (not necessarily a pupil). American, 19th century In our opinion, this work was executed by an unknown hand, and can only be identified by origin (i.e., region, period). Bears signature In our opinion, the signature on the artwork may be spurious. Apocryphal Of doubtful authenticity. Condition We may include a brief note on condition within the catalog description. We do this when the condition problem is serious enough to affect the estimate of the artwork. This does not constitute a complete condition report, nor should it be assumed that artworks cataloged without mention of condition are in perfect condition. Jewelry A buyer's responsibility is to examine any item(s) of potential interest carefully. This applies to all jewelry sold at Clars Auctions. Gemstone weights are approximate. A very large majority of gemstones today are subjected to a variety of treatments/enhancements. This includes diamonds and colored stones, the purpose is to improve their appearance color and/or clarity. Treatments such as heat, diffusion, irradiated, HTHP, oiling, resin, bleaching, dying and impregnation are just a few techniques known today. Some treatments are combined, some permanent and others are not. Not all treatments are detectable using standard gemological equipment. Prospective buyers are therefore reminded that unless otherwise noted in the description(s), or condition report, it must be assumed that some form of enhancement may have been used. Regarding Laboratories Reports: only reflect the opinions of the laboratory on that date. Each Laboratory has their own strengths and weaknesses, therefore differing in degrees of grading and/or treatments. Watches must be examined carefully with the assistance of the Clars staff. We give our opinion of function only at the time of cataloging. Although we do attempt to mention in our descriptions significant defects, needed repairs, stones missing, enamel loss etc., we do not guarantee the accuracy or operation of any watch function. Condition reports are available for most pieces upon request. These reports contain more information that was observed during cataloging, other than the catalog descriptions. Images shown may appear smaller or larger than actual size. Watches Clars does not guarantee the accuracy or future operation of any watch function, nor the authenticity of any individual parts, which are often subsequent to repairs, restoration or replacement. Please note that the movement has not been tested for the accuracy of time. Gemstones & Diamonds Prospective buyers are reminded that all descriptions are the subject of qualified opinion. Diamond and gemstone weights and approximate. Unless specifically stated that a diamond or gemstone is natural, it is assumed that the stone has undergone some form of treatment and that such treatment may not be permanent. Please note that Clars does not guarantee the accuracy of the information contained in provided gemological reports and that a stone?s assessment may vary dependent on the opinion and resources of the laboratory.
