Description
THERE IS NO DOING WITHOUT MONEYby The Royal Mint Designer - Dominique Evans 1450 mm long x 920 mm high x 700 mm deep, 36 kg This BookBench design was inspired by the sketchbook for the new £2 coin that will come into circulation this year to commemorate Jane Austen's life. The BookBench project explores the pages of the Royal Mint designer Dominique Evans's sketchbook, to share with the public some of the ideas and concepts that evolved out of her painstaking research and development for the final coin design.Dominique EvansDominique is one of The Royal Mint's team of graphic designers. After studying Graphic Design at the University of Brighton she has had a diverse career, fostering her love for fashion, interior design and product design while working across a variety of fields. For 12 years she has brought her talents to her role as a graphic designer at The Royal Mint, bringing to life the rich and interesting stories behind coins and medals. Her first design for The Royal Mint was for a bullion coin commemorating the Gold Standard. This is her first circulating coin design.From the first brief through to the final design, Dominique was delighted to research Jane Austen's life in detail, immersing herself in her books, her wealth of colourful characters and the romance. With the passing years Dominique finds herself having a stronger fondness for the past and for exploring different eras, and particularly admires the richness and elegance of the Regency period.Dominique was struck that whether on a crowded train, in a busy classroom, cosy book nook or on a TV screen, the words and characters enjoyed the world over have been created by one pen, one hand and one mind - that of Jane Austen.A silhouette of Jane is thus centre to the design Dominique created. Jane Austen is such a fundamental part of literary history, even more so now that she will be in the hands and minds of the nation on a coin. Dominique felt it was appropriate to have the writer at the heart of the design, maintaining the air of simplicity and grace she deserves. She felt it fitting to place a frame around Jane's silhouette, and as this coin is bi-colour, it effortlessly lends itself to this feature. To complete the design, stripes have been placed underneath the text to set the frame, as though on a Regency era wall. Dominique imagined the framed silhouette in one of the houses featured in Jane Austen's books, on the wall of a corridor as guests pass by to attend a dance, perhaps in Pride and Prejudice or on the wall in the home of Emma.

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS
The following information 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.
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.
Buyers Premium
There will be no buyers premium (commission) nor VAT on any purchase at this auction - this includes the-saleroom.com
VAT
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.
Export of goods
Please be aware that certain items will be subject to export licence conditions. Prospective purchasers must ensure they adhere to any special requirements if taking items abroad. In particular, items containing ivory may be subject to certain export restrictions. The need for export licences varies from country to country and you should acquaint yourself with all relevant local requirements and provisions. Certain lots may also be subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside the EU.
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 may be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding.
Commission bidding
Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid. 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, and if identical, a bid left with the auctioneers will always take priority over an online commission bid. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone, email or FAX.

As a general rule, any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of goods is permitted. Debit or credit card payments are only accepted in person with chip and pin, and will not be taken over the telephone.
