BBR Terms & Conditions

CATALOGUE CONDITION TERMS:
As much care as is practicably possible is given to
descriptions. Many items are of an age or 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 begins but it is often not possible
to contact absentee bidders at this point.
We are always happy to answer questions before a sale
but it is your responsibility to reassure 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: The item displays minor signs of wear, apparent
on close inspection. This may include inconsequential chips
or flaws, some corrosion to metal parts, or 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 the absence of others.

warranty, representation or assumption of liability
