Any lots purchased via the-saleroom.com live auction service will be subject to an additional premium of 5% plus VAT (6% including VAT @ 20%) of the hammer price. Unless otherwise stated, all lots are sold under the Auctioneers Margin Scheme. The 'VAT Inclusive Premium' figure includes VAT which is not shown separately and cannot be reclaimed as input tax.

3.  Bidding.  New bidders may have to provide proof of identification and address and valid debit or credit card details as security before being approved to bid - this will be required from all new bidders outside the UK.  Please note that we do not accept Autobids via the-saleroom.com.

4.  Condition.  While indications of condition are given in some lot descriptions, an absence of such advice does not imply that a lot is free from defect, restoration or alteration. Prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the condition of a lot prior to bidding. Our staff can provide condition reports for those unable to attend our rooms.

5.  Measurements.  All measurements and weights provided in lot descriptions should be considered approximate.

Payment is accepted in GB Pounds only by cash, card, bank transfer or cheque. Buyers will be held liable for any expenses arising from their method of payment. Goods paid for by cheque will not be released until the cheque has cleared; cheque clearance takes eight bank processing days from the day of paying-in.
