The recommendation for this officer’s O.B.E. refers to his part in the defence of Malta, and the importance of his role in that vital and valiant effort was clearly very significant: “As chief technical officer at Kalafrana, Squadron Leader Hipwood has been responsible for the overhaul and repair of all aircraft in the island during a period when the number of aircraft has increased from three Gladiators to its present size and complication. Frequent shortages of spares and equipment have made a great deal of improvisation necessary but this has been tackled with great efficiency and initiative. It is chiefly due to Squadron Leader Hipwood’s example of hard work and quiet efficiency that such a high standard of work has been turned out in spite of difficulties”

Cecil Faber Aspinall was born at Wrexham, Denbighshire in 1878 and educated at the Isle of Wight College and at Rugby. He entered the Army via commissions in the Volunteers (4th East Surrey) and the Militia (7th Battalion Royal Fusiliers). In 1900, simultaneous commitments to wars in South Africa and China left the Army short of officers to deal with disturbances in other parts of the Empire, such as that which broke out in West Africa in 1900. There, the Ashanti rose in rebellion, besieging the Governor at the inland settlement at Kumassi. Aspinall volunteered as a Special Service Officer, as a result of which he received a commission in the Royal Munster Fusiliers, thus becoming one of only a handful of Munsters officers and men present for this campaign. Attached to the West African Regiment, he joined one of the columns that was struggling from the coast through exceptionally thick bush to put down the rebellion. He was present at the action at Obassa, the last at which the Ashanti confronted the Imperial Forces in significant numbers. The hectic and often close-quarters nature of the fighting is testified to by the citation to the Victoria Cross earned there by one of his fellow officers, Major John Melliss. This first taste of battle brought Aspinall himself a mention in despatches (London Gazette March 8 1901): “a general advance of three companies took place with two in support and Sikhs in reserve, one company of the West African Regiment on our right under Captain St. Hill, with Lieutenant Aspinall, doing particularly good work and driving the enemy back on the village of Obassa.” Having made it to South Africa in time to see service against the Boers, Aspinall accompanied 1st Royal Munster Fusiliers to India at the conclusion of the war and was present during its participation in the expeditions against the Zakha Khels and Mohmands on the North West Frontier in 1908. He earned a place on the course at the Indian Staff College, Quetta, and successful graduation was followed by a post at GHQ India, coinciding with the Imperial Durbar held at Delhi in 1911. Aspinall was the only officer of his regiment selected to receive its commemorative medal. Returning to England in 1913, Aspinall was posted to the War Office and had the unusual assignment of spending four months on a tour of Europe with Prince Prajadhipok of Siam (the future King Rama VII), who was educated at Eton and afterwards studied for a commission in the Royal Artillery. When in France four years later, Aspinall came into contact with the Siamese military delegation; his earlier services were recalled and recognised by appointment to the Siamese Order of the White Elephant (“for the kind services which you have rendered and the interest you have always taken in Siam and the Siamese”). At the outbreak of the Great War Aspinall continued in a temporary position at the War Office while he waited for a regimental vacancy to become available. Successfully interviewed in March 1915 for appointment as second-in-command of the newly-forming Welsh Guards, the very next day he was abruptly informed that he would be joining the staff of Sir Ian Hamilton’s Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, leaving immediately.

The Dardanelles Campaign Having spent the previous night at the War Office completing the embarkation tables for the force, Aspinall left with Hamilton and his advance party of a dozen officers on 13th March. After crossing the Channel by destroyer, the party travelled by special train to Marseilles and there embarked in another destroyer, H.M.S. Phaeton, which delivered them in rapid time to the island of Tenedos (off the coast of Turkey) on the 17th, to confer with Rear Admiral de Robeck (Naval C-in-C) and his French counterparts. The following day, still aboard Phaeton, Aspinall had his first sight of the Gallipoli Peninsula as they conducted a reconnaissance of possible landing places, then witnessed the failure of the last of the Royal Navy’s attempts to force the Straits of Constantinople by sea power alone. The requirement to use land forces had been placed beyond doubt, and it was to this object that Hamilton and his staff now turned their attention. Correspondence clearly indicates that Aspinall was one of Hamilton’s most trusted officers and he features often in his chief’s published diaries of the Dardanelles campaign. During the initial landings at Cape Helles on 25th April he accompanied the C-in-C aboard the battleship HMS Queen Elizabeth. Instructions for this group indicated that they had to be prepared to land when necessary, to act as Hamilton’s eyes and ears on the ground. This could be very much a ‘hands on’ role, as one episode recorded by Hamilton recounts: “A certain number of stragglers were slipping quietly back towards Cape Helles along the narrow sandy strip at the foot of the high cliffs, so, as it was flat calm, I sent Aspinall off in a small boat with orders to rally them. He rowed to the South so as to head them off and as the dinghy drew in to the shore we saw one of them strip and swim out to sea to meet it half way... After landing, a show of force was needed to pull the fugitives up but once they did pull up they were splendid, and volunteered to a man to follow Aspinall back into the firing line. Many of them were wounded and the worst of these were put into a picket boat that had just that moment come along. One of the men seemed pretty bad, being hit in the head and in the body. He wanted to join in but, naturally, was forbidden to do so. Aspinall then led his little party back and climbed the cliff. When he got to the top and looked round he found this severely wounded man had not only disobeyed orders and followed him, but had found strength to lug up a box of ammunition with him. “I ordered you not to come” said Aspinall: “I can still pull a trigger, Sir,” replied the man.” Such episodes set the pattern for the coming months, and Aspinall often accompanied the C-in-C on tours of the peninsula, or afloat in the Royal Navy’s warships offshore. From July 1915, Aspinall moved up to the key position of Hamilton’s Chief of Operations. With progress stagnating, he was instrumental in formulating and planning the new landings at Suvla, intended to cut across the Gallipoli Peninsula and isolate the continuing opposition at the site of the original landings. As operations commenced at Suvla in August, it fell to Aspinall as the man on the spot to alert Hamilton to Lt.-Gen. Stopfords’s failure to press home the advantage: “Just been ashore where I found all quiet. No rifle fire, no artillery fire and apparently no Turks. Feel confident that golden opportunities are being lost and look upon the situation as serious.” When he finally managed to see Hamilton in person, the latter’s diary records “Aspinall now turned up. He was in a fever; said our chances were being thrown away with both hands”. Such misgivings were not misplaced.

Continuing to serve under Hamilton’s replacement, Sir William Birdwood, Aspinall’s greatest contribution in this theatre was yet to come, through his lead role in planning the spectacularly successful withdrawals from Suvla and Anzac Cove in December and from Helles in January. These were accomplished without the loss of a single man, before the Turks were even aware they were under way. Admiral de Robeck wrote to Hamilton “All credit is due to the staff who worked out the scheme and carried it through. Nobody deserves more credit than Aspinall and Mitchell [the Naval Advisor at GHQ]”. Years later, in The Times, Lord Freyberg VC wrote in his appreciation published with Aspinall’s obituary “I remember vividly the talk at the time that it was estimated we would be lucky if we saved 30 per cent of our forces. Actually we lost no one. And praise for wise and skilful planning must go to the staff of which Cecil Aspinall was a senior member.” Aspinall’s services at Gallipoli were recognised by a CMG, the French Legion d’Honneur and six of the ten Mentions in Despatches that he was to accumulate during the war. He was also confirmed in the Brevet rank of Lieutenant-Colonel (following his Brevet of Major achieved earlier in the campaign), a promotion for which both Hamilton and Birdwood agitated strongly behind the scenes. When it was finally gazetted, Hamilton wrote to Aspinall “I can truly say that no honour which has appeared during the campaign has given me more pleasure than yours. Of course you ought to be a full Colonel, but never mind…” A final summation of Aspinall’s contribution to the historic episode at the Dardanelles can be drawn from the words of one of his closest colleagues, Guy Dawnay, writing to a mutual friend: “He has had great responsibilities, and often considerable difficulties to contend with, and I can only say that I hardly think it would be possible to say too much of what he has done. His sound judgement, unsparing energy, and unfailing confidence have been among the chief assets of the Expeditionary Force.” France and the Royal Naval Division Aspinall’s talents were now turned to the war on the Western Front. After a few months on Sir Douglas Haig’s staff (taking in the Somme offensive), in August 1916 he was appointed Chief Staff Officer of the 63rd (Royal Naval) Division, a formation with which he had become familiar at Gallipoli. The Division’s first major action in France came in November, in the final phase of the Somme operations, when it was assigned to the capture of Beaucourt in the Battle of the Ancre. Although obtained at the cost of heavy casualties, the RND’s part in the battle was a notable success and resulted in the first breach of the Hindenburg Line. Lord Freyburg, who earned his VC at Beaucourt in command of Hood battalion, credited Aspinall with much of the complex planning which contributed to the achievement. It was afterwards written that this unique division not only secured its reputation in this battle, but a confidence in its own fighting capacity which contributed much to its future efficiency. Aspinall remained in post during the RND’s continuing operations in the Ancre Valley in early 1917, and also for its next major test, the assault on Gavrelle during the Battle of Arras in April. Here once again the division achieved its objective and in grand style, successfully repulsing repeated enemy counter-attacks. The series of operations brought Aspinall another Mention, and the D.S.O. in the next halfyearly list. In November 1917 Aspinall moved up to be Brigadier-General General Staff of VIII Corps under Lt.-Gen. Sir Aylmer Hunter-Weston, an eccentric commander with whom he had first served at Gallipoli. He would remain in this appointment for the rest of the war.

Official Historian Aspinall retired from the Army in 1920. Five years later he was approached by the Historical Section of the Committee of Imperial Defence to write the official history of the Gallipoli campaign. This was a task of some delicacy and Aspinall was in fact the third to attempt it, the first of his predecessors having succumbed to ill-health and the second removed for what was perceived to be an overly critical attitude. In the words of Andrew Green in ‘Writing the Great War’: “In spite of attempts by the War Office, Foreign Office, Australian government and a number of high-ranking military officers to influence the tone and content of his work, Aspinall-Oglander succeeded in publishing an Official History not just of great academic integrity but of great literary interest.” The first volume of “Military Operations: Gallipoli” appeared in 1929; the second followed in 1932, both to positive critical reception. Retirement to Nunwell From his marriage to Joan Oglander in 1927, Brig.-Gen. AspinallOglander made his home at the Nunwell estate on the Isle of Wight, in the possession of his wife’s family since Norman times. He developed a deep affection for the ancient house and in 1945 published “Nunwell Symphony”, an account of its history. Among his other publications was a biography of Admiral of the Fleet Sir Roger Keyes, an old colleague of Gallipoli days. During the second world war he raised and commanded the 20th (East Wight) Battalion, Hampshire Home Guard, as well as the 1st Wight Cadet Battalion. He died at Nunwell in 1959.

512. The Great War Military Medal to fatal casualty Corporal Ernest Middleton, Manchester Regiment; M.M., George V (12145 PTE E. MIDDLETON. 19 / MANCH:R.), good very fine. £150-200 M.M. Gazette: 16/11/16. Recipient entered France 8th November 1915. The Gazette in which his M.M. appears is that in which many awards for the Battle of the Somme are recorded, and it’s schedule number precedes those for men who are known to have been decorated for acts on the first day of the battle. Medal rolls confirms that he served with the 19th and the 2/9th Battalions of his Regiment. The former was disbanded on the 6th February 1918 at which time it appears that he was posted to the 2/9th, though the majority of his battalion went to the 16th and 17th. After 13 days his new unit was absorbed by the 1/9th and together they became the 9th Battalion.

514. By order of the recipient, the Operation Paraquet and Santa Fe incident South Atlantic Medal to Lance Corporal Jeremy ‘Rocky’ Rowe, Royal Marines, with rosette (LCPL J M ROWER PO35967J RM), good very fine. £1,000-2,000 Born 1959 in Scarborough, Rowe endured a violent upbringing at the hands of his father (himself a Royal Marine veteran) and was further inured to hardship when he left home to join the Grimsby trawler fleet in the freezing waters of the North Atlantic cod fisheries. He witnessed the final stages of the notorious ‘Cod Wars’ with Iceland, which left him looking for alternative employment. He recalls that the Royal Marines Recruiting Officer who enlisted him in 1976 declared that he had shared a landing craft with Rowe’s father at Dieppe in WWII. He recounts with some bemusement his involvement in the ‘Coconut War’, when a force of Marines helped to oversee the tumultuous progression to independence of the islands of the New Hebrides (Vanuatu). By the time of the Falklands War in 1982 he was section sniper in the Reconnaissance Section of 42 Commando Royal Marines. The first retaliatory action of the British Forces against Argentina was the reconquest of South Georgia - Operation Paraquet. After an abortive attempt to insert an SAS team on the Fortuna Glacier, the British detected the Argentine submarine Santa Fe leaving the port of Grytviken. A swift aerial attack caused critical damage to Santa Fe and precipitated a direct British assault. The main force tasked with the re-conquest, M company of 42 Commando RM, was still at sea on the tanker Tidespring, and so a scratch force, including Rocky Rowe, was rushed ashore from the vessels in the vicinity of Grytviken. Opposition was overwhelmed by the vigour of the assault and the Argentine surrender was accepted at 17:15 GMT 25th April. This left the British presiding over a volatile situation. There appear to have been large quantities of firearms and ammunition, which the British were hard pressed to secure. 140 prisoners were confined at the BAS headquarters, and their guards had been briefed, in the event of an insurrection, to shoot to kill. At this point Marines and Naval personnel took control of Santa Fe in circumstances that differ in the various accounts. The standard history indicates that she was required to be propelled clear of the critical jetty at King Edward’s Point. Rowe himself recalls boarding Santa Fe at sea, via helicopter, together with the celebrated SAS Captain Gavin Hamilton (later M.C., and for whom Rowe wishes his admiration to be recorded), and others. Rowe was assigned to the lower control room to supervise and Argentine Petty Officer, Felix Artuso. The Marines had been tasked with preventing the crew from scuttling the Santa Fe, taking control of it by force, or attempting to launch a torpedo at HMS Antrim. Rowe was unfamiliar with the controls of a submarine and sought the advice of a Royal Naval officer, who identified certain levers which if manipulated would send the vessel to the bottom. Artuso was warned off the levers using sign language, which he seemed to understand. In the moments that followed responsibility for the fate of the submarine appeared to Rowe to devolve upon him. Artuso received an intercom message in Spanish from his own officers which prompted him to make a sudden dash for the forbidden levers. Rowe could only interpret this as an attempt at sabotage which imperilled all on board. He was conditioned, by his training, his appreciation of the circumstances, and by the Rules of Engagement as embodied in the recent briefing, to act decisively; and so he shot Artuso, fatally, with his Browning pistol. Convinced that the Santa Fe was now sinking, Rose raced on deck and attempted to alert the men on shore by discharging his weapon into the air. It soon became apparent that a tragic error had been made by the Naval officer. The levers that Rowe fired in defence of were entirely benign in their effect – Felix Artuso had been attempting to adjust the trim of the submarine. A board of enquiry cleared Rowe of any wrongdoing and he went on to take part in the ejection of the Argentines from South Thule.

Ordered to screen the advance of the Army towards Khartoum, the Lancers (a young Winston Churchill among them) found themselves advancing on an enemy force that was larger than expected. Displaying extraordinary daring they committed to a charge, only quickening their pace as a dry watercourse concealing still greater numbers of the enemy came into view. In the two minutes of vicious melee that followed the 440 man force had incurred 71 casualties and won three Victoria Crosses. Posted to C Squadron 12th October 1895. Confirmed as having charged at Omdurman on the list of men south of Kereri Ridge, and on Sgt. Hicks’ Scroll, and medals confirmed on roll.

HENRY VIII OF ENGLAND:

A RARE AND HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT GUN SHIELD

WW102-576 Listing.qxp_Layout 1 05/04/2019 15:52 Page 47

See paragraphs 4 & 5 of our Conditions of Business at the back of this catalogue for additional charges on the final hammer price.

656. Henry VIII of England: a rare and historically important gun shield. A convex circular shield, or target, composed of two layers of wooden strips laid at right angles, faced with two concentric tiers of eight ferrous plates each formed with a shallow tetrahedral peak and arranged around a large conical central boss, the joints between the plates covered with iron straps at the junctions of which are set eight smaller conical bosses, the rim covered by a further strap of domed section, straps and bosses fixed with cuprous headed iron nails, the upper plate of the inner tier with an aperture for a match lock pistol (not present), the inner face retaining the stubs of leather straps and with traces of fibrous matter and other residual indications of backing materials and fittings, diameter 52 cm, 16th Century. £30,000-50,000 Provenance: The collection of Charles Lees R.S.A. c. 18811; The Alexander MacMillan Welch Collection; The Metropolitan Museum of Art Loan Exhibition 1931; through other hands to the current private collection. Shields of this type, fitted with matchlock pistols projecting through the upper half or through a central boss, are a peculiar feature of the armoury of King Henry VIII of England, and may be seen as a reflection of his flair for innovation as well as of his enthusiasm for armed combat. The principal primary evidence for the presence of gun shields in the royal armoury is an inventory taken at the time of the King’s death in 1547, which includes a reference to “targettes steeled wt gonnes XXXV” (targets steeled, with guns, 35)2 . A clue to their origin is found in a letter of 1544 from an Italian painter, Giovanni Batista of Ravenna, to Edmund Harvel (English Ambassador to Venice) in which the author offers to provide the King, among many other things, “round shields and arm pieces with guns inside that fire upon the enemy and pierce any armour”3. Modern scholaship4 has identified two main types of gun shield: those with the pistol projecting through a central boss, heavy, typically provided with a small grill for sighting, and of probably English manufacture; and those of lighter construction, with a gun mounted above the centre, and of probable Italian manufacture. It is in the latter and scarcer category that this shield belongs. The general type seems to have had a short lifespan in Europe. One source5 identifies a ‘latest known example’ produced in Germany 1560-70 (not a member of this group). Known examples of Henrician gun shields display considerable diversity in the details of their construction and decoration but a comparison of the shield offered here with examples held at the Tower of London, the Royal Collection at Windsor, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and elsewhere, confirms that it belongs to same group and may therefore be attributed, as they are, to the armoury of Henry VIII. In particular the arrangement of the wooden strips, the configuration and colouration of the marks left by the fabric backing (now lacking)6, the small holes corresponding to the position of the serpentine (articulated match holder)7, the remains of the leather straps6, the form of the iron strapwork and of the nails that fix it8,5, and the remnants of fabric fringes found below the bases of the bosses9, all correspond perfectly to the attributes of other extant Henrician gun shields.

WW102-576 Listing.qxp_Layout 1 05/04/2019 15:53 Page 48

The gun aperture has small peripheral holes for the attachment of an escutcheon (now missing) which are similar in their position to those of an example held at the Tower of London10, and the secondary conical bosses may be compared to those found on a central gun hole type held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art11. The marks left by the upholstery, are as already stated, a match to those on other examples, and in cases where this is found in a more complete state it has a red and yellow colour scheme12 that accords with a change in the livery of the Royal Household that occurred in 15444. It is also interesting to note that the damage to the central boss (perforations caused by a sharp object of square section – possibly a pike or halberd point) is remarkably similar to that seen on other pieces of armour at the Tower of London. These may be evidence of frivolous mishandling by custodians in an era before conservation was taken seriously. The total number of gun shields originally in the possession of the King is impossible to ascertain exactly, but was certainly less than one hundred13. A recent survey4 identified 46 (possibly 47) surviving examples, the overwhelming majority of which are held by museums. The last instances of a gun shield appearing at public auction appear to have occurred in the 1970s14, 15. We are delighted to offer for sale what is either the 47th or the 48th surviving example. It is an object of exceptional rarity in absolute terms, and its significance to arms and armour collectors is dramatically elevated by its direct association with one of the most warlike, extravagant, and charismatic kings in the history of the British Isles.

SOCIETY OF FINE ART AUCTIONEERS AND VALUERS and the ROYAL INSTITUTION OF CHARTERED SURVEYORS CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION FOR BUYERS 1. Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All sales are conducted on our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection and normally accompany catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully understand. 2. Agency. As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller. 3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive. 4. The purchase price. The Buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon of 25% plus VAT @20% (totalling 30% inclusive) on the first £500,000 and 12% plus VAT @20% (14.4% inclusive) thereafter. 5. VAT. (†) indicates that VAT at the current standard rate is payable by the purchaser on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer’s premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. The omega symbol ( ) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer’s premium). Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax. 6. We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them we are normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order. 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 revealed to the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer had the buyer examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstances lots misdescribed because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is a 3 week time limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale). 7. Electrical goods. These are sold as ‘antiques’ only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. 8. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required for the goods to leave the U.K. and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing the goods in question into the destination country because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Charges may be applicable for export licences. Ask us if you need help. The denial of any permit or licence shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale contract or any delay in payment. 9. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification will be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding. 10. Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers’ premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or fax. 11. Methods of Payment. As a general rule any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted. Please discuss with our Office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment are envisaged (except cash).

12. Collection and storage. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected promptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying storage charges.

TERMS OF CONSIGNMENT FOR SELLERS 1. Interpretation. In these Terms the words ‘you’, ‘yours’, etc. refer to the Seller and if the consignment of goods to us is made by an agent we assume that the Seller has authorised the consignment and that the consignor has the Seller’s authority to contract. Similarly the words ‘we’, ‘us’, etc. refer to the Auctioneers. 2. Commission is charged to sellers at the following rates: 15% + VAT on each lot sold for up to £999, 10% + VAT on each lot realising £1,000 and above. 3. Removal costs. Items for sale must be consigned to the sale room by any stated deadline and at your expense. We may be able to assist you with this process but any liability incurred to a carrier for haulage charges is solely your responsibility. 4. Loss and damage waiver. We are not regulated by the FSA for the provision of insurance to clients. However, we for our own protection assume liability for property consigned to us at lower pre-sale estimate. To justify accepting liability, we make a charge of 1.5% of the hammer price plus VAT or, if unsold, our mid estimate of the hammer price. If the owner of goods consigned instructs us in writing not to take such action, they then remain at owner’s risk unless and until the property in them passes to the Buyer or they are collected by or on behalf of the owner, and clause 4 is inapplicable. 5. Illustrations. The cost of any illustrations is borne by you. If we consider that the lot should be illustrated your permission will usually be asked first. The copyright in respect of such illustrations shall be the property of us, the auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue. 6. Minimum bids and our discretion. Goods may be offered subject to a reserve agreed between us before the sale in accordance with clause 7. 7. We may sell lots below the reserve provided we account to you for the same sale proceeds as you would have received had the reserve been the hammer price. If you specifically give us ‘discretion’ we may accept a bid of up to 10% below the formal reserve. . Reserves. (a) You are entitled to place prior to the auction a reserve on any lot consigned, being the minimum hammer price at which that lot may be sold. Reserves must be reasonable and we may decline to offer goods which in our opinion would be subject to an unreasonably high reserve (in which case goods carry the storage and insurance charges stipulated in these Terms of Consignment). (b) A reserve once set cannot be changed except with our consent. (c) Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf and only up to the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances bid personally. 8. Electrical items. These are subject to detailed statutory safety controls. Where such items are accepted for sale you accept responsibility for the cost of testing by external contractors. Goods not certified as safe by an electrician (unless antiques) will not be accepted for sale. They must be removed at your expense on your being notified. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense. 9. Soft furnishings. The sale of soft furnishings is strictly regulated by statute law in the interests of fire safety. Goods found to infringe safety regulations will not be offered and must be removed at your expense. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense. The rights of disposal referred to in clause 8 and 9 are subject to the provisions of The Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, Schedule 1, a copy of which is available for inspection on request. 10. Descriptions. Please assist us with accurate information as to the provenance etc. of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liability for the accuracy of descriptions under modern consumer legislation and in some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuracies occur. We will assume that you have approved the catalogue description of your lots unless informed to the contrary. Where we are obliged to return the price to the buyer when the lot is a deliberate forgery under Condition 15 of the Conditions of Sale and we have accounted to you for the proceeds of sale you agree to reimburse us the sale proceeds. The liability to reimburse the sale proceeds shall not arise where you are acting reasonably and honestly and are unaware of the forgery but we are or ought to have been aware of it. 11. Unsold and withdrawn items. If an item is unsold it may with your consent be re-offered at a future sale. Where in our opinion an item is

WW102-576 Listing.qxp_Layout 1 05/04/2019 15:53 Page 83

unsaleable you must collect such items from the saleroom promptly on being so informed. Otherwise, storage charges may be incurred. We reserve the right to charge for storage in these circumstances at a reasonable daily rate. 12. Withdrawn and bought in items. These are liable to incur a charge of up to 10% plus VAT of the reserve or low estimate on being bought in or withdrawn after being catalogued. 13. Conditions of Sale. You agree that all goods will be sold on our Conditions of Sale. In particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goods either as owner or agent for the owner. You undertake to compensate us and any buyer or third party for all losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of this undertaking. 14. Authority to deduct commission and expenses and retain premium and interest. (a) You authorise us to deduct commission at the stated rate and all expenses incurred for your account from the hammer price and consent to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the buyer in accordance with our Conditions of Sale and any interest earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement. (b) You authorise us in our discretion to negotiate a sale by private treaty not later than the close of business on the day of the sale in the case of lots unsold at auction, in which case the same charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction and so far as appropriate these terms apply. 15. Warehousing. We disclaim all liability for goods delivered to our saleroom without sufficient sale instructions and reserve the right to make minimum warehousing charge of £2 per lot per day. Unsold lots are subject to the same charges if you do not remove them within a reasonable time of notification. If not removed within three weeks we reserve the right to sell them and defray charges from any net proceeds of sale or at your expense to consign them to the local authority for disposal. 16. Settlement. Subject to our normal trading conditions, payment will be made by BACS or cheque 5 weeks after the sale unless the buyer has not paid for the goods. In this case no settlement will then be made but we will take your instructions in the light of our Conditions of Sale. You authorise any sums owed by you to us on other transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds. You must note the liability to reimburse the proceeds of sale to us as under the circumstances provided for in Condition 10 above. You should therefore bear this potential liability in mind before parting with the proceeds of sale until the expiry of 28 days from the date of sale.

10. COMMISSION BIDS Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition, we will if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf.

Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.

FORGERIES Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from 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 provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition. The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.

CONSENT

HOW LONG YOUR INFORMATION IS KEPT

We may also process your Personal Data where we have your specific consent to do so (for example, where we have your agreement to include information about you (as a seller) in sale marketing materials) or where we have sought and obtained your consent to send you direct marketing by email, or for the use of cookies on our website. If you have given your consent and you wish to withdraw it, please contact us using the contact details set out above.

We will retain your personal data for as long as we are providing you with the Services referred to in any contractual document, and for as long as is required for legal, regulatory, fraud prevention and our legitimate business purposes after the termination of your account/agreement with us, or if your application for a particular Service is declined or abandoned.

Please note that where our processing of your personal data relies on your consent and where you then withdraw that consent, we may not be able to provide all or some aspects of our Services to you and/or it may affect the provision of our Services. SPECIAL CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA We process special categories of personal data for the following reasons: • if it is necessary to protect your or another person’s vital interests (for example, where you have a life-threatening accident or illness and we have to process your personal data to ensure you receive appropriate medical attention); • if it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (for example, to protect and defend our rights, and/or the rights of our customers); We may process information relating to your health where we have your explicit consent to do so (for example, when you provide information about your access requirements prior to attending one of our events). INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF DATA We transfer names and addresses on our Asian mailing list to a printing company in Hong Kong to distribute our auction catalogues and promotional material. In these circumstances, your personal data will be transferred subject to standard data protection clauses (adopted by the European Commission) and included in our contract with the printing company. We share your data collected for marketing purposes and through our website with our website and email management software provider who are based in Jersey. In these circumstances, your personal data is transferred to them subject to an Adequacy Decision made by the European Commission in respect of Jersey. PROFILING We may use your geographical location to target our communications and advertising and promotions to you. If you do not wish us to do this, then please contact us using the details provided above.

In particular: • in relation to CCTV images taken when you attend our premises, we will retain these for a few months; • in relation to personal data relating to the transactions you have entered into with us as part of the provision of our Services, we will retain that data for period of seven years after that transaction has concluded in case any legal claims arise out of the provision of those Services; • we will retain your details on our marketing database until you inform us that you no longer wish to receive our marketing communications. However, where you do unsubscribe from our marketing communications we will keep your details on a suppression list to ensure that we do not send you information you have asked not to receive; • in relation to personal data relating to the provenance of works, we may retain that data indefinitely in our legitimate interests and the legitimate interests of the wider art market in maintaining the integrity of that market. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS Under the DPA you have the following rights: • to obtain access to, and copies of, the personal data that we hold about you; • to require that we cease processing your personal data if the processing is causing you damage or distress; • to require us not to send you marketing communications. • to require us to correct the personal data we hold about you if it is incorrect; • to require us to erase your personal data; • to require us to restrict our data processing activities (and, where our processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent, without affecting the lawfulness of our processing based on consent before its withdrawal); • to receive from us the personal data we hold about you which you have provided to us, in a reasonable format specified by you, including for the purpose of you transmitting that personal data to another data controller; • to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to any of our particular processing activities where you feel this has a disproportionate impact on your rights. Please note that the above rights are not absolute, and we may be entitled to refuse requests where exceptions apply. If you are not satisfied with how we are processing your personal data, you can raise a concern with the Information Commissioner. You can also find out more about your rights under data protection legislation from the Information Commissioner’s Office website available

Woolley & Wallis valuations are accepted by all leading insurance companies. PROBATE VALUATIONS We offer a speedy and professional service for executors and trustees and provide bound valuations for probate and duplicate copies when required.
