In addition to the auctioned price per lot, buyers shall be required to pay the following taxes and charges: 24% taxe-free of the hammer price up to and including 100 000 €, 20% taxe-free of any amount in excess of 100 000 € up to and including 800 000 €, 12% taxe-free of any amount in excess of 800 001 € Adding : V.A.T. (20%) The auction will follow the order of the catalogue numbers. The Auction House and Experts reserve the right, in the interest of sales, to group together or split the catalogue numbers. The sizes and weight of the works are provided on an indicative basis. CATALOGUE We have provided information on the condition of the objects in accordance with our means. Goods are sold in the condition they are found at the time of sale. The condition of the items noted in the catalogue is on a strictly indicative basis. In cases where there is no note in the catalogue, this in no way implies that the lot is in perfect condition or does not need to be restored, have wear and tear, cracks, require relining or contain other imperfections. As an opportunity is afforded to examine the items described in the catalogue in the form of an exhibition, no claims will be accepted with respect to the condition thereof, once the auction has been completed and the item handed over. Re-Lining, cradling, and lining are considered to be a conservation measure, not a defect. On request, a report on the condition of the item can be provided for lots whose value is estimated at above €1000. Estimations are provided on a purely indicative basis. The information on the source/origin of the item is provided by the seller and OVV Binoche et Giquello may not be held liable for this. BIDDING All bidders who wish to make an offer or bid by telephone may send a request, by post, by email or fax to O.V.V. Binoche et Giquello, along with their bank details. The telephone auctions are a free service provided to customers who are not in a position to attend. O.V.V. Binoche et Giquello and its staff cannot be held liable in the event of a problem with the telephone connection. When two bids are identical, priority is given to the first bid received. In the event of auction, the price to be paid is the auction price, plus fees, in accordance with the applicable conditions at the time of sale. ONLINE AUCTIONS A facility for online auctions is provided. Auctions are carried out on the www.drouotlive.com website, a technical platform for remote participation in public auctions taking place in the auction rooms. Auctionspress is the partner company for users of the Drouot Live. Users wishing to participate in online auctions via the Drouot Live platform must familiarise themselves, and accept, without reservation, the conditions of use of this platform (available at www.drouotlive.com), which are independent and additional to the present terms and conditions of sale. PURCHASER The purchaser shall be the highest and last bidder provided that the auction price is equal to or greater than any reserve. If a reserve price has been stipulated by the seller, OVV Binoche et Giquello reserves the right to make bids on behalf of the seller until the last auction increment below that amount, either by making successive bids, or by making bids in response to other bidders. However, the seller will not be permitted to make bids either directly or through an agent. The fall of the hammer marks the end of the auction and the word “sold” or any other equivalent shall result in the formation of a contract between the seller and the last accepted bidder. In the event of a dispute at the end of the bidding, i.e. If it has been established that one or more bidders simultaneously made an equivalent bid, either aloud, or by making a sign, and claim the item after “sold” is pronounced, the object will be immediately put to auction again at the price offered by the bidders and the public will be invited to bid again. Once sold, the items become the sole responsibility of the buyer. The
