We can provide condition reports upon request up until the close of business on viewing day, we cannot guarantee a reply for requests made after this time.

Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers, and are prepared with the naked eye unless otherwise stated. The absence of a Condition Report from a lot does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition. The auctioneer undertakes that care has been taken to see that catalogue descriptions and condition reports are accurate, but these must be taken as matters of opinion only and shall not be taken as statements of fact. Buyers must make their own judgement as to the nature, authenticity or condition of any lot. All lots are available on public view ahead of an auction and we encourage prospective buyers to inspect an item in person where possible. The auctioneers do not give any warranty as to the title of the lots sold and will not be liable for any defect in such title.
