BBR Terms & Conditions
As much care as is practicably possible is given to descriptions.
Many items are of an age/ nature precluding their being in
pristine condition. We give serious consideration to concerns
brought to our attention but reserve the right to disagree. Any
additional information is generally mentioned before bidding but it
is often not possible to contact absentee bidders at this point.
BBR are always happy to answer questions before a sale
but it is your responsibility to re-assure yourself before
purchase. Generally we will indicate our judgement of lots
quality & condition, giving due consideration to age & rarity. For
guidance purposes only the following terms are used to give a
feel of this judgement:
Cleaned / Restored: An object has been subjected to some
restoration. Typically with glass items surface may appear
tumbled or dipped, to remove unsightly patina or chips, or
restored with resin. A ceramic item may have had portions
replaced or re-glued. We recommend you examine an item or
telephone for AB’s assessment of the extent of such. Cat.
descriptions may make reference to damage or restoration but
omission of such does NOT imply a lot is free from defects, nor
does a reference to a defect imply absence of others.
Good: We judge it to be a good example, displays well, minus
overtly unsightly damage. An item that is not pristine with signs
of use & age - might include scratches, tears, surface faults.
Very Good: An item displays minor wear, apparent on close
inspection - may include inconsequential chips or flaws, some
corrosion to metal parts, minor damage in unseen area (ie base
or rear).
Excellent/ A1: An item as near to possible pristine, taking into
account age. A bottle might for instance have base wear but full
body sheen & strong embossing, no chips or cracks. Any time of
manufacture flaws or patina of age in this instance deemed
either part of the character, or not detracting.
IN SHORT
Many items are of an age/ nature precluding their being in
pristine condition. Some catalogue descriptions may refer to
damage/ & or restoration. Omission of such does not imply
a lot is free from defects, nor does any reference to a
particular defect imply any absence of others.
IMPORTANT

warranty, representation or assumption of liability in
respect of date, size, condition, quality, importance or
