The collection has since passed down through family descent to the current owners, who are resident in Jersey in the Channel Islands. All of the lots in the collection are antique and over 100 years of age. All of these lots will be subject to international CITES regulations upon sale and will require licences to be issued by the States of Jersey for export from Jersey to other jurisdictions, the cost of which will be borne by the vendor. Please note that import licences for their ultimate destination willl be required prior to shipping - these will be the responsibility of the purchaser, as will any costs incurred, which vary internationally. Ivory cannot be exported to the USA. It will be the buyer's responsibility to check that their country of residence will permit import with the correct documentation before bidding. It is also their responsibility to obtain a valid CITES import permit from their country of residence before the item can be released. Payment will still be required within our usual terms and all bids will be binding.
