purity and moral integrity. Jade brush washers in the form of lotus leaf

became prevalent among the literati's circle in the Song Dynasty.

illustrated and discussed in Dynastic Renaissance: Art and Culture of

the Southern Song: Antiques, Taipei, 2010, pp. 186-187, which was

also exhibited in a related exhibition in the Palace Museum, Taipei.

The subject appears to be describing an encounter amongst scholar

officials, which was a prevalent theme throughout the Song dynasty,

which also implied the literati's desire to serve in the court in order

to obtain political clout and prestige. The auspicious implication of

the present lot is further enhanced with the depiction of dragon and

phoenix.

NOTICE TO BIDDERS

This notice is addressed by Bonhams to any person who may be

interested in a Lot, including Bidders and potential Bidders (including

any eventual Buyer of the Lot). For ease of reference we refer to

such persons as “Bidders” or “you”.

Our List of Definitions and Glossary is incorporated into this

Notice to Bidders. It is at Appendix 3 at the back of the Catalogue.

Where words and phrases are used in this notice which are in the List

of Definitions, they are printed in italics.

IMPORTANT: Additional information applicable to the Sale may be

set out in the Catalogue for the Sale, in an insert in the Catalogue

and/or in a notice displayed at the Sale venue and you should read

them as well. Announcements affecting the Sale may also be given

out orally before and during the Sale without prior written notice. You

should be alert to this possibility of changes and ask in advance of

bidding if there have been any.

1. OUR ROLE

In its role as auctioneer of Lots, Bonhams acts solely for and in

the interests of the Seller. Bonhams’ job is to sell the Lot at the

highest price obtainable at the Sale to a Bidder. Bonhams does

not act for Buyers or Bidders in this role and does not give advice

to Buyers or Bidders. When it or its staff make statements about a

Lot or, if Bonhams provides a Condition Report on a Lot it is doing

that on behalf of the Seller of the Lot. Bidders and Buyers who are

themselves not expert in the Lots are strongly advised to seek and

obtain independent advice on the Lots and their value before bidding

for them.

The Seller has authorised Bonhams to sell the Lot as its agent on its

behalf and, save where we expressly make it clear to the contrary,

Bonhams acts only as agent for the Seller. Any statement or

representation we make in respect of a Lot is made on the Seller’s

behalf and, unless Bonhams sells a Lot as principal, not on our

behalf and any Contract for Sale is between the Buyer and the Seller

and not with us. If Bonhams sells a Lot as principal this will either

be stated in the Catalogue or an announcement to that effect will be

made by the Auctioneer, or it will be stated in a notice at the Sale or

an insert in the Catalogue.

Bonhams does not owe or undertake or agree to any duty or

responsibility to you in contract or tort (whether direct, collateral,

express, implied or otherwise). If you successfully bid for a Lot and

buy it, at that stage Bonhams does enter into an agreement with

the Buyer. The terms of that contract are set out in our Buyer’s

Agreement save for those varied by announcement given out orally

before and/or during the Sale, which you will find at Appendix 2 at

the back of the Catalogue. This will govern Bonhams’ relationship

with the Buyer.

2. LOTS

Subject to the Contractual Description printed in bold letters in

the Entry about the Lot in the Catalogue (see paragraph 3 below),

Lots are sold to the Buyer on an “as is” basis, with all faults and

imperfections. No reference is made in the Catelogue to any defect,

damage or restoration of the Lot. Please see paragraph 15.

Illustrations and photographs contained in the Catalogue (other

than photographs forming part of the Contractual Description) or

elsewhere of any Lots are for identification purposes only. They may

not reveal the true condition of the Lot. A photograph or illustration

may not reflect an accurate reproduction of the colour(s) of the Lot.

Lots are available for inspection prior to the Sale and it is for you to

satisfy yourself as to each and every aspect of a Lot, including its

authorship, attribution, condition, provenance, history, background,

authenticity, style, period, age, suitability, quality, roadworthiness

(if relevant), origin, value and estimated selling price (including the

Hammer price). It is your responsibility to examine any Lot in which

you are interested.

It should be remembered that the actual condition of a Lot may

not be as good as that indicated by its outward appearance. In

particular, parts may have been replaced or renewed and Lots may

not be authentic or of satisfactory quality; the inside of a Lot may

not be visible and may not be original or may be damaged, as for

example where it is covered by upholstery or material. Given the age

of many Lots they may have been damaged and/or repaired and you

should not assume that a Lot is in good condition.

Electronic or mechanical parts may not operate or may not comply

with current statutory requirements. You should not assume that

electrical items designed to operate on mains electricity will be

suitable for connection to the mains electricity supply and you should

obtain a report from a qualified electrician on their status before doing

so. Such items which are unsuitable for connection are sold as items

of interest for display purposes only.

If you yourself do not have expertise regarding a Lot, you should

consult someone who does to advise you. We can assist in

arranging facilities for you to carry out or have carried out more

detailed inspections and tests. Please ask our staff for details.

Any person who damages a Lot will be held liable for the loss

caused.

3. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS AND ESTIMATES

Contractual Description of a Lot

The Catalogue contains an Entry about each Lot. Each Lot is sold

by its respective Seller to the Buyer of the Lot as corresponding only

with that part of the Entry which is printed in bold letters and (except

for the colour, which may be inaccurately reproduced) with any

photograph of the Lot in the Catalogue. The remainder of the Entry,

which is not printed in bold letters, represents Bonhams’ opinion

(given on behalf of the Seller) about the Lot only and is not part of the

Contractual Description in accordance with which the Lot is sold by

the Seller.

Estimates

In most cases, an Estimate is printed beside the Entry. Estimates

are only an expression of Bonhams’ opinion made on behalf of the

Seller of the range where Bonhams thinks the Hammer Price for the

Lot is likely to fall; it is not an estimate of value. It does not take into

account any Tax or Buyer’s Premium payable. Lots can in fact sell for

Hammer Prices below and above the Estimate. Any Estimate should

not be relied on as an indication of the actual selling price or value of

a Lot.

Estimates are in the currency of the Sale.

Condition reports

In respect of most Lots, you may ask for a Condition Report on its

physical condition from Bonhams. If you do so, this will be provided

by Bonhams on behalf of the Seller free of charge. Bonhams is not

entering into a contract with you in respect of the Condition Report

and accordingly does not assume responsibility to you in respect

of it. Nor does the Seller owe or agree to owe you as a Bidder any

obligation or duty in respect of this free report about a Lot which

is available for your own inspection or for inspection by an expert

instructed by you. However, any written description of the physical

condition of the Lot contained in a Condition Report will form part of

the Contractual Description of the Lot under which it is sold to any

Buyer.

The Seller’s responsibility to you

The Seller does not make or agree to make any representation of

fact or contractual promise, guarantee or warranty and undertakes

no obligation or duty, whether in contract or in tort (other than to

the eventual Buyer as set out above), in respect of the accuracy or

completeness of any statement or representation made by him or

on his behalf which is in any way descriptive of any Lot or as to the

anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot. Other than as set out

above, no statement or representation in any way descriptive of a Lot

or any Estimate is incorporated into any Contract for Sale between a

Seller and a Buyer.

Bonhams’ responsibility to you

You have the opportunity of examining the Lot if you want to and the

Contract for Sale for a Lot is with the Seller and not with Bonhams;

Bonhams acts as the Seller’s agent only (unless Bonhams sells the

Lot as principal).

Bonhams undertakes no obligation to you to examine, investigate or

carry out any tests, either in sufficient depth or at all, on each Lot to

establish the accuracy or otherwise of any descriptions or opinions

given by Bonhams, or by any person on Bonhams’ behalf, whether in

the Catalogue or elsewhere.

You should not suppose that such examinations, investigations or

tests have occurred.

Bonhams does not make or agree to make any representation of

fact, and undertakes no obligation or duty (whether in contract or

tort) in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any statement or

representation made by Bonhams or on Bonhams’ behalf which is in

any way descriptive of any Lot or as to the anticipated or likely selling

price of any Lot.

No statement or representation by Bonhams or on its behalf in any

way descriptive of any Lot or any Estimate is incorporated into our

Buyer’s Agreement.

Alterations

Descriptions and Estimates may be amended at Bonhams’ discretion

from time to time by notice given orally or in writing before or during a

Sale.

THE LOT IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AND YOU MUST FORM

YOUR OWN OPINION IN RELATION TO IT. YOU ARE STRONGLY

ADVISED TO EXAMINE ANY LOT OR HAVE IT EXAMINED ON YOUR

BEHALF BEFORE THE SALE.

4. CONDUCT OF THE SALE

Our Sales are public auctions which persons may attend and you

should take the opportunity to do so.

We do reserve the right at our sole discretion to refuse admission

to our premises or to any Sale without stating a reason. We have

complete discretion as to whether the Sale proceeds, whether

any Lot is included in the Sale, the manner in which the Sale is

conducted and we may offer Lots for sale in any order we choose

notwithstanding the numbers given to Lots in the Catalogue. You

should therefore check the date and starting time of the Sale,

whether there have been any withdrawals or late entries. Remember

that withdrawals and late entries may affect the time at which a Lot

you are interested in is put up for Sale.

We have complete discretion to refuse any bid, to nominate any

bidding increment we consider appropriate, to divide any Lot, to

combine two or more Lots, to withdraw any Lot from a Sale and,

before the Sale has been closed, to put up any Lot for auction again.

Auction speeds can exceed 100 Lots to the hour and bidding

increments are generally about 10%. However these do vary from

Sale to Sale and from Auctioneer to Auctioneer. Please check with

the department organising the Sale for advice on this.

Where a Reserve has been applied to a Lot, the Auctioneer may, in

his absolute discretion, place bids (up to an amount not equalling

or exceeding such Reserve) on behalf of the Seller. We are not

responsible to you in respect of the presence or absence of any

Reserve in respect of any Lot.

If there is a Reserve it will normally be no higher than the lower figure

for any Estimate in the Catalogue, assuming that the currency of

the Reserve has not fluctuated adversely against the currency of the

Estimate.

The Buyer will be the Bidder who makes the highest bid acceptable

to the Auctioneer for any Lot (subject to any applicable Reserve) to

whom the Lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer at the striking of

the Auctioneer’s hammer. Any dispute as to the highest acceptable

bid will be settled by the Auctioneer in his absolute discretion.

All bids tendered will relate to the actual Lot number announced by

the Auctioneer.

An electronic currency converter may be used at the Sale. This

equipment is provided as a general guide as to the equivalent

amount in certain currencies of a given bid. We do not accept

any responsibility for any errors which may occur in the use of the

currency converter.

We hereby give you notice that we may use video cameras to record

the Sale and may record telephone calls for reasons of security and

to assist in solving any disputes which may arise in relation to bids

made at the Sale.

At some Sales, for example, jewellery Sales, we may use screens on

which images of the Lots will be projected. This service is provided

to assist viewing at the Sale. The image on the screen should be

treated as an indication only of the current Lot. It should be noted

that all bids tendered will relate to the actual Lot number announced

by the Auctioneer. We do not accept any responsibility for any errors

which may occur in the use of the screen.

5. BIDDING

You must complete and deliver to us one of our Bidding Forms,

either our Bidder Registration Form, Absentee Bidding Form or

Telephone Bidding Form in order to bid at our Sales.

If you are a new client at Bonhams or have not recently updated your

registration details with us, you must pre-register to bid at least two

working days before the Sale at which you wish to bid. You will be

required to provide government-issued proof of identity and

residence, and if you are a company, your certificate of incorporation

or equivalent documentation with your name and registered address,

government issued proof of your current address, documentary proof

of your beneficial owners and directors, and proof of authority to

transact.

We may also request a financial reference and /or deposit from you

before allowing you to bid.

We reserve the rights at our discretion to request further information

in order to complete our client identification and to decline to register

any person as a Bidder, and to decline to accept their bids if they

have been so registered. We also reserve the rights to postpone

completion of the Sale of any Lot at our discretion while we complete

our registration and identification enquiries, and to cancel the Sale of

any Lot if you are in breach of your warranties as Buyer, or if we

consider that such Sale would be unlawful or otherwise cause

liabilities for the Seller or Bonhams or be detrimental to Bonhams’

reputation.

Bidding in person

So long as you have pre-registered to bid or have updated your

existing registration recently, you should come to our Bidder

registration desk at the Sale venue and fill out a Registration and

Bidding Form on (or, if possible, before) the day of the Sale. The

bidding number system is sometimes referred to as “paddle bidding”.

You will be issued with a large card (a “paddle”) with a printed

number on it. This will be attributed to you for the purposes of the

Sale. Should you be a successful Bidder you will need to ensure that

your number can be clearly seen by the Auctioneer and that it is your

number which is identified as the Buyer’s. You should not let anyone

else use your paddle as all Lots will be invoiced to the name and

address given on your Bidder Registration Form. Once an invoice is

issued it will not be changed. If there is any doubt as to the Hammer

Price of, or whether you are the successful Bidder of, a particular Lot,

you must draw this to the attention of the Auctioneer before the next

Lot is offered for Sale. At the end of the Sale, or when you have

finished bidding please return your paddle to the Bidder registration

desk.

Bidding by telephone

If you wish to bid at the Sale by telephone, and have pre-registered

to bid or have updated your existing registration details recently,

please complete a Registration and Bidding Form, which is available

from our offices or in the Catalogue. Please then return it to the office

responsible for the Sale at least 24 hours in advance of the Sale. It is

your responsibility to check with our Bids Office that your bid has

been received. Telephone calls will be recorded. The telephone

bidding facility is a discretionary service offered at no additional

charge and may not be available in relation to all Lots. We will not be

responsible for bidding on your behalf if you are unavailable at the

time of the Sale or if the telephone connection is interrupted during

bidding. Please contact us for further details.

Bidding by post or fax

Absentee Bidding Forms can be found in the back of this Catalogue

and should be completed and sent to the office responsible for the

Sale, once you have pre-registered to bid or have updated your

existing registration details recently. It is in your interests to return

your form as soon as possible, as if two or more Bidders submit

identical bids for a Lot, the first bid received takes preference. In any

event, all bids should be received at least 24 hours before the start of

the Sale. Please check your Absentee Bidding Form carefully before

returning it to us, fully completed and signed by you. It is your

responsibility to check with our Bids Office that your bid has been

received. This additional service is complimentary and is confidential.

Such bids are made at your own risk and we cannot accept liability

for our failure to receive and/or place any such bids. All bids made on

your behalf will be made at the lowest level possible subject to

Reserves and other bids made for the Lot. Where appropriate your

bids will be rounded down to the nearest amount consistent with the

Auctioneer’s bidding increments. New Bidders must also provide

proof of identity and address when submitting bids. Failure to do this

will result in your bid not being placed.

Bidding via the internet

In order to bid online in a Sale, you must be 18 or over and you must

register to bid via the Bonhams App or www.bonhams.com. Once

you have registered, you should keep your account details strictly

confidential and not permit any third party to access your account on

your behalf or otherwise. You will be liable for any and all bids made

via your account. Please note payment must be made from a bank

account in the name of the registered bidder.

Individuals: Enter your full name, email, residential address, date of

birth and nationality and provide a valid credit card in your name

which will be verified via Stripe before you are able to bid. If your

credit card fails verification, you will not be permitted to bid and you

should contact Client Services for assistance. We may in addition

request a financial reference and/or deposit from you prior to letting

you bid. If you are bidding as agent on behalf of another party, you

agree: (i) to disclose this fact to Client Services; (ii) to provide such

information as we require to enable us to complete our identification

and anti-money laundering checks on that third party; and (ii) where

your bid is successful, you are jointly and severally liable with that

Subtle Beauty: The Aesthetics of Song Dynasty | 111

HK/NTB/MAIN/5.2023

other party for the full amounts owing for the successful bid. Where

you are the successful bidder for any lot with a hammer price equal

to or in excess of £5,000/$10,000/HKD50,000/AUS$10,000

depending on the jurisdiction and currency of the Sale, and if you

have not provided such documents previously, you will be required to

upload or provide to Client Services your Government issued photo

ID and (if not on the ID) proof of your address before the lot can be

released to you. We reserve the right to request ID documentation

from any bidder or successful buyer regardless of these thresholds

and to refuse to release any purchased lot until such documentation

is provided.

Companies: You must select the option to set up a business account

and then provide your full name, email, residential address, date of

birth and the full name of the company. You must provide a credit

card for verification either in your name or the name of the company

but payment must be made from an account in the company’s name.

If your credit card fails verification, you will not be permitted to bid

and please contact Client Services for assistance. We may in

addition require a bank reference or deposit prior to letting you bid.

For all successful bids, we require the company’s Certificate of

Incorporation or equivalent documentation confirming the company’s

name and registered address, documentary proof of each beneficial

owner owning 25% or more of the company, and proof of your

authority to transact before the lot can be released to you.

We reserve the right to request any further information from any

bidder that we may require in order to carry out any identification,

anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism financing checks conducted

by us. We may at our discretion postpone or cancel your registration,

not permit you to bid and/or postpone or cancel completion of any

purchase you may make.

Bidding through an agent

Bids will be treated as placed exclusively by and on behalf of the

person named on the Bidding Form unless otherwise agreed by us in

writing in advance of the Sale. If you wish to bid on behalf of another

person (your principal) you must complete the pre-registration

requirements set out above both on your own behalf and with full

details of your principal, and we will require written confirmation from

the principal confirming your authority to bid.

You are specifically referred to your due diligence

requirements concerning your principal and their source of

funds, and the warranties you give in the event you are the

Buyer, which are contained in paragraph 3 of the Buyer’s

Agreement, set out at Appendix 2 at the back of the

Catalogue.

Nevertheless, as the Bidding Form explains, any person placing a bid

as agent on behalf of another (whether or not he has disclosed that

fact) will be jointly and severally liable with the principal to the Seller

and to Bonhams under any contract resulting from the acceptance of

a bid.

Equally, please let us know if you intend to nominate another person

to bid on your behalf at the Sale unless this is to be carried out by us

pursuant to a Telephone or Absentee Bidding Form that you have

completed. If we do not approve the agency arrangements in writing

before the Sale, we are entitled to assume that the person bidding at

the Sale is bidding on his own behalf. Accordingly, the person bidding

at the Sale will be the Buyer and will be liable to pay the Hammer

Price and Buyer’s Premium and associated charges. If we approve

the identity of your client in advance, we will be in a position to

address the invoice to your principal rather than you. We will require

proof of the agent’s client’s identity and residence in advance of any

bids made by the agent on his behalf. Please refer to our Conditions

of Business and contact our Customer Services Department for

further details.

Bonhams undertakes Customer Due Diligence (CDD) into its Sellers

and Buyers as required by the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing

and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017

(“the Regulations”). Bonhams’ interpretation of the Regulations and

Treasury Approved industry Guidance is that CDD under the

Regulations is not required by Buyers into Sellers at Bonhams auctions

or vice versa.

6. CONTRACTS BETWEEN THE BUYER AND SELLER AND

THE BUYER AND BONHAMS

On the Lot being knocked down to the Buyer, a Contract for Sale

of the Lot will be entered into between the Seller and the Buyer on

the terms of the Contract for Sale set out in Appendix 1 at the back

of the Catalogue save for those varied by announcement given out

orally before and/or during the Sale. You will be liable to pay the

Purchase Price, which is the Hammer Price plus any Tax.

At the same time, a separate contract is also entered into between

us as auctioneers and the Buyer. This is our Buyer’s Agreement,

the terms of which are set out in Appendix 2 at the end of the

Catalogue. Please read the terms of the Contract for Sale and our

Buyer’s Agreement contained in the Catalogue in case you are the

successful Bidder. We may change the terms of either or both of these

agreements in advance of their being entered into, by setting out different

terms in the Catalogue and/or by placing an insert in the Catalogue and/

or by notices at the Sale venue and/or by oral announcements before and

during the Sale. You should be alert to this possibility of changes and ask

if there have been any.

7. BUYER’S PREMIUM AND OTHER CHARGES PAYABLE BY

THE BUYER

Under the Buyer’s Agreement, a premium (the Buyer’s

Premium) is payable to us by the Buyer in accordance with the terms

of the Buyer’s Agreement and at rates set out below, calculated by

reference to the Hammer Price and payable in addition to it. Storage

charges and Expenses are also payable by the Buyer as set out in the

Buyer’s Agreement.

For this Sale the following rates of Buyer’s Premium will be payable

by Buyers on each Lot purchased:

28% of the Hammer Price on the first HK$400,000; plus

27% of the Hammer Price from HK$400,001

and up to HK$7,500,000; plus

21% of the Hammer Price from HK$7,500,001

and up to HK$50,000,000; plus

14.5% of the Hammer Price above HK$50,000,000

8. TAX

The Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium payable by the Buyer

is exclusive of any goods or service tax or other Tax (whether

imposed by Hong Kong or otherwise). If any such Tax was to be paid

under Hong Kong laws or any other laws, the Buyer shall be solely

responsible to pay such Tax and at the rate and time as required by

the relevant law, or if such Tax is to be paid by us, we may add such

Tax to the Purchase Price payable by the Buyer.

9. PAYMENT

It is of critical importance that you ensure that you have

readily available funds to pay the Purchase Price and the

Buyer’s Premium (plus Tax and any other charges and

Expenses to us) in full before making a bid for the Lot. If you

are a successful Bidder, payment will be due to be made to

us by 4.30 pm on the second working day after the Sale so

that all sums are cleared by the seventh working day after

the Sale. Payment will have to be by one of the following

methods (all cheques should be made payable to Bonhams

(Hong Kong) Limited). Bonhams reserves the right to vary

the terms of payment at any time. Unless agreed by us

advance payments made by anyone other than the registered

buyer will not be accepted.

Bonhams’ preferred payment method is by

bank transfer

Bank transfer: you may electronically transfer funds to

our Client Account. If you do so, please quote your paddle

number and invoice number as the reference. Our Client

Account details are as follows:

1 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong

Account Name: Bonhams (Hong Kong) Limited. -

Client A/C

If paying by bank transfer, the amount received after the

Hong Kong dollar personal cheque drawn on a Hong

Kong branch of a bank : all cheques must be cleared

before you can collect your purchases;

with notes or coins in the currency in which the Sale is

conducted (but not any other currency) provided that the total

be paid otherwise than in coins or notes;

Debit cards issued by a Hong Kong bank (EPS): there is no

additional charge for purchases made with these cards in person;

is not available for first time buyers. If the amount payable by you for

Lots exceeds that sum, the balance must be paid by other means.

China UnionPay (CUP) debit cards: There is no limit on payment

value if payment is made in person.

It maybe advisable to notify your card provider of your intended

purchase in advance to reduce delays caused by us having to seek

authority when you come to pay. If you have any questions with

regard to payment, please contact our

Customer Services Department.

10. COLLECTION AND STORAGE

The Buyer of a Lot will not be allowed to collect it until payment in full

and in cleared funds has been made (unless we have made a special

arrangement with the Buyer). Details relating to the collection of a

Lot, the storage of a Lot and our Storage Contractor after the Sale

are set out in the Buyer’s Agreement as set out in Appendix 2 of the

Catalogue.

11. SHIPPING

Please refer enquiries on this to our customer services department

dealing with the Sale.

12. EXPORT/TRADE RESTRICTIONS

It is your sole responsibility to comply with all Hong Kong export and

overseas import regulations relating to your purchases and also to

obtain any relevant export and/or import licence(s).

The need for export and import licences varies from country to

country and you should acquaint yourself with all relevant local

requirements and provisions.

The refusal of any import or export licence(s) or any delay in obtaining

such licence(s) shall not permit the rescission of any Sale nor allow any

delay in making full payment for the Lot.

13. CITES REGULATIONS

Buyers are advised to check the regulations applicable to Hong Kong

exportation and overseas importation when exporting any goods

from Hong Kong to the place of importation. Buyers should also

be aware that the export from Hong Kong of any items made of or

incorporating ivory, whalebone, tortoiseshell, rhinoceros horn, coral

and other restricted materials is prohibited unless a CITES export

licence is obtained from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation

Department of Hong Kong. A period of 8 weeks may be required for

the purposes of obtaining such export licence.

Please note that Lots marked in the catalogue with a Y next to the

lot number contain one or more of the aforesaid restricted materials.

However, the omission of such letter Y does not automatically mean

that the Lot is not subject to CITES regulations. Buyers are advised

to obtain information from the relevant regulatory authorities regarding

export and import restrictions, requirements and costs prior to

bidding.

14. THE SELLERS AND/OR BONHAMS’ LIABILITY

Other than any liability of the Seller to the Buyer of a Lot under the

Contract for Sale, neither we nor the Seller are liable (whether in

negligence or otherwise) for any error or misdescription or omission

in any Description of a Lot or any Estimate in respect of it, whether

contained in the Catalogue or otherwise, whether given orally or

in writing and whether given before or during the Sale. Neither we

nor the Seller will be liable for any loss of Business, profits, revenue

or income, or for loss of reputation, or for disruption to Business

or wasted time on the part of management or staff, or for indirect

losses or consequential damages of any kind, irrespective in any

case of the nature, volume or source of the loss or damage alleged

to be suffered, and irrespective of whether the said loss or damage is

caused by or claimed in respect of any negligence, other tort, breach

of contract (if any) or statutory duty, restitutionary claim or otherwise.

In any circumstances where we and/or the Seller are liable in relation

to any Lot or any Description or Estimate made of any Lot, or the

conduct of any Sale in relation to any Lot, whether in damages,

for an indemnity or contribution, or for a restitutionary remedy or

otherwise, our and/or the Seller’s liability (combined, if both we and

the Seller are liable) will be limited to payment of a sum which will not

exceed by way of maximum the amount of the Purchase Price of the

Lot irrespective in any case of the nature, volume or source of any

loss or damage alleged to be suffered or sum claimed as due, and

irrespective of whether the liability arises from any negligence, other

tort, breach of contract (if any) or statutory duty or otherwise.

Nothing set out above will be construed as excluding or

restricting (whether directly or indirectly) our liability or excluding or

restricting any person’s rights or remedies in respect of (i) fraud,

or (ii) death or personal injury caused by our negligence (or by the

negligence of any person under our control or for whom we are legally

responsible), or (iii) acts or omissions for which we are liable under the

Occupiers Liability Ordinance (Chapter 314 of the Laws of Hong Kong),

or (iv) any other liability to the extent the same may not be excluded or

restricted as a matter of law or (v) our undertakings under paragraph 9

of the Buyer’s Agreement. The same applies in respect of the Seller,

as if references to us in this paragraph were substituted with references

to the Seller.

15. DAMAGE AND RESTORATION

Bidders should note that there is no reference to any defect, damage

or restoration in this Catalogue. A detailed Condition Report can

be provided by Bonhams up to 24 hours before the Sale. When

providing Condition Reports, we do not guarantee that there are

no other defects present which have not been mentioned. Bidders

should satisfy themselves by inspection, as to the condition of each

Lot. Please see the Contract for Sale printed in this Catalogue.

16. BOOKS

As stated above, all Lots are sold on an “as is” basis, subject to all

faults, imperfections and errors of Description save as set out below.

However, you will be entitled to reject a Book in the circumstances set

out in paragraph 11 of the Buyers Agreement. Please note that Lots

comprising printed Books, unframed maps and bound manuscripts

are not liable to VAT on the Buyer’s Premium.

17. CLOCKS AND WATCHES

All Lots are sold “as is”, and the absence of any reference to the

condition of a clock or watch does not imply that the Lot is in good

condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks

and watches have been repaired in the course of their normal lifetime

and may now incorporate parts not original to them. Furthermore,

Bonhams makes no representation or warranty that any clock or

watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine

and complex mechanisms, Bidders should be aware that a general

service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer

is solely responsible, may be necessary. Bidders should be aware

that the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and

Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches may

not be shipped to the USA and can only be imported personally.

18. JEWELLERY

Gemstones

Historically many gemstones have been subjected to a variety of

treatments to enhance their appearance. Sapphires and rubies are

routinely heat treated to improve their colour and clarity, similarly

emeralds are frequently treated with oils or resin for the same

purpose. Other treatments such as staining, irradiation or coating

may have been used on other gemstones. These treatments may

be permanent, whilst others may need special care or re-treatment

over the years to retain their appearance. Bidders should be aware

that Estimates assume that gemstones may have been subjected to

such treatments. A number of laboratories issue certificates that give

more detailed Descriptions of gemstones. However there may not be

consensus between different laboratories on the degrees, or types

of treatment for any particular gemstone. In the event that Bonhams

has been given or has obtained certificates for any Lot in the Sale

these certificates will be disclosed in the Catalogue. Although, as a

112 | Bonhams HK/NTB/MAIN/5.2023

matter of policy, Bonhams endeavours to provide certificates from

recognised laboratories for certain gemstones, it is not feasible

to obtain certificates for each Lot. In the event that no certificate

is published in the Catalogue, Bidders should assume that the

gemstones may have been treated. Neither Bonhams nor the Seller

accepts any liability for contradictions or differing certificates obtained

by Buyers on any Lots subsequent to the Sale.

Estimated Weights

If a stone(s) weight appears within the body of the Description in

capital letters, the stone(s) has been unmounted and weighed by

Bonhams. If the weight of the stone(s) is stated to be approximate

and does not appear in capital letters, the stone(s) has been

assessed by us within its/their settings, and the stated weight is a

statement of our opinion only. This information is given as a guide

and Bidders should satisfy themselves with regard to this information

as to its accuracy.

Signatures

1. A diamond brooch, by Kutchinsky

When the maker’s name appears in the title, in Bonhams’ opinion

the piece is by that maker.

2. A diamond brooch, signed Kutchinsky

Has a signature that, in Bonhams’ opinion, is authentic but may

contain gemstones that are not original, or the piece may have been

altered.

3. A diamond brooch, mounted by Kutchinsky

Has been created by the jeweller, in Bonhams’ opinion, but using

stones or designs supplied by the client.

19. PICTURES

Explanation of Catalogue Terms

The following terms used in the Catalogue have the following

meanings but are subject to the general provisions relating to

Descriptions contained in the Contract for Sale:

• “Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work by the artist. When the

artist’s forename(s) is not known, a series of asterisks, followed

by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or

not, indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named;

• “Attributed to Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion probably a work

by the artist but less certainty as to authorship is expressed than

in the preceding category;

• “Studio/Workshop of Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work by

an unknown hand in a studio of the artist which may or may not

have been executed under the artist’s direction;

• “Circle of Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work by a hand

closely associated with a named artist but not necessarily his

pupil;

• “Follower of Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work by a

painter working in the artist’s style, contemporary or nearly

contemporary, but not necessarily his pupil;

• “Manner of Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work in the style of

the artist and of a later date;

• “After Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion, a copy of a known work

of the artist;

• “Signed and/or dated and/or inscribed”: in our opinion the

signature and/or date and/or inscription are from the hand of the

artist;

• “Bears a signature and/or date and/or inscription”: in our opinion

the signature and/or date and/or inscription have been added by

another hand.

20. PORCELAIN AND GLASS

Damage and Restoration

For your guidance, in our Catalogues we detail, as far as practicable,

recorded all significant defects, cracks and restoration. Such

practicable Descriptions of damage cannot be definitive, and in

providing Condition Reports, we cannot Guarantee that there are

no other defects present which have not been mentioned. Bidders

should satisfy themselves by inspection, as to the condition of each

Lot. Please see the Contract for Sale printed in this Catalogue.

Because of the difficulty in determining whether an item of glass

has been repolished, in our Catalogues reference is only made to

visible chips and cracks. No mention is made of repolishing, severe

or otherwise.

21. WINE

Lots which are lying under Bond and those liable to VAT may not be

available for immediate collection.

Examining the wines

It is occasionally possible to provide a pre-Sale tasting for larger

parcels (as defined below). This is generally limited to more recent

and everyday drinking wines. Please contact the department for

details.

It is not our policy to inspect every unopened case. In the case of

wines older than 20 years the boxes will usually have been opened

and levels and appearance noted in the Catalogue where necessary.

You should make proper allowance for variations in ullage levels and

conditions of corks, capsules and labels.

Corks and Ullages

Ullage refers to the space between the base of the cork and the

wine. Ullage levels for Bordeaux shaped bottles are only normally

noted when below the neck and for Burgundy, Alsace, German

and Cognac shaped bottles when greater than 4 centimetres (cm).

Acceptable ullage levels increase with age; generally acceptable

levels are as follows:

Under 15 years old – into neck or less than 4cm

15 to 30 years old – top shoulder (ts) or up to 5cm

Over 30 years old – high shoulder (hs) or up to 6cm

It should be noted that ullages may change between publication

of the Catalogue and the Sale and that corks may fail as a result

of transporting the wine. We will only accept responsibility for

Descriptions of condition at the time of publication of the Catalogue

and cannot accept responsibility for any loss resulting from failure of

corks either before or after this point.

Options to buy parcels

A parcel is a number of Lots of identical size of the same wine,

bottle size and Description. The Buyer of any of these Lots has the

option to accept some or all of the remaining Lots in the parcel at the

same price, although such options will be at the Auctioneer’s sole

discretion. Absentee Bidders are, therefore, advised to bid on the

first Lot in a parcel.

Bottling Details and Case Terms

The following terms used in the Catalogue have the following

meanings:

CB – Château bottled

DB – Domaine bottled

EstB – Estate bottled

BB – Bordeaux bottled

BE – Belgian bottled

FB – French bottled

GB – German bottled

OB – Oporto bottled

UK – United Kingdom bottled

owc – original wooden case

SYMBOLS

THE FOLLOWING SYMBOLS ARE USED TO DENOTE

Y This lot contains one or more regulated plant or animal

species and is subject to CITES regulations. It is the buyer’s

responsibility to investigate such regulations and to obtain any

necessary import or export certificates. A buyer’s inability to

obtain such certificates cannot justify a delay in payment or

cancellation of a sale, see clause 13.

○ The Seller has been guaranteed a minimum price for the Lot,

either by Bonhams or a third party. This may take the form of

an irrevocable bid by a third party, who may make a financial

gain on a successful Sale or a financial loss if unsuccessful.

▲ Bonhams owns the Lot either wholly or partially or may

otherwise have an economic interest.

Ф This lot contains elephant ivory and is therefore subject to

CITES regulations.

Property containing African elephant ivory cannot be imported

to the USA. The EU and the UK have in place wide-ranging

restrictions on dealing with property containing elephant

ivory, including restrictions on import and/or export. It is a

before and during the Sale at the Sale venue. You should be alert to

this possibility of changes and ask in advance of bidding if there have

been any.

UNDER THIS CONTRACT, THE SELLER’S LIABILITY IN RESPECT OF

THE QUALITY OF THE LOT, ITS FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE AND

ITS CONFORMITY WITH ANY DESCRITION IS LIMITED. YOU ARE

STRONGLY ADVISED TO EXAMINE THE LOT FOR YOURSELF AND/

OR OBTAIN AN INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION OF IT BEFORE YOU

BUY IT.

1 THE CONTRACT

1.1 These terms govern the Contract for Sale of the Lot by the

Seller to the Buyer.

1.2 The Definitions and Glossary contained in Appendix 3 in the

Catalogue are incorporated into this Contract for Sale and a

separate copy can also be provided by Bonhams on request.

1.3 Seller sells the Lot as the principal to the Contract for Sale,

such contract being made between the Seller and you

through Bonhams which acts in the sole capacity as the

Seller’s agent and not as an additional principal. However, if

the Catalogue states that Bonhams sells the Lot as principal,

or such a statement is made by an announcement by the

Auctioneer, or by a notice at the Sale, or an insert in the

Catalogue, then Bonhams is the Seller for the purposes of

this agreement.

1.4 The contract is made on the striking of the Auctioneer’s

hammer in respect of the Lot when it is knocked down to you.

2 SELLER’S UNDERTAKINGS

2.1 The Seller undertakes to you that:

letters and (except for colour) with any photograph of the Lot

in the Catalogue and the contents of any Condition Report

which has been provided to the Buyer.

of the Lot. In particular, the Lot is not sold as corresponding

with that part of the Entry in the Catalogue which is not

printed in bold letters, which merely sets out (on the Seller’s

behalf) Bonhams’ opinion about the Lot and which is not part

of the Contractual Description upon which the Lot is sold. Any

statement or representation other than that part of the Entry

referred to in paragraph 2.1.5 (together with any express

alteration to it as referred to in paragraph 2.1.5), including any

Description or Estimate, whether made orally or in writing,

including in the Catalogue or on Bonhams’ Website, or by

8 CLAIMS BY OTHER PERSONS IN RESPECT OF THE

LOT

8.1 Whenever it becomes apparent to us that the Lot is the

subject of a claim by someone other than you and other than

the Seller (or that such a claim can reasonably be expected

to be made), we may, at our absolute discretion, deal with

the Lot in any manner which appears to us to recognise

the legitimate interests of ourselves and the other parties

involved and lawfully to protect our position and our legitimate

interests. Without prejudice to the generality of the discretion

and by way of example, we may:

8.1.1 retain the Lot to investigate any question raised or reasonably

expected by us to be raised in relation to the Lot; and/or

8.1.2 deliver the Lot to a person other than you; and/or

8.1.3 commence interpleader proceedings or seek any other order

of any court, mediator, arbitrator or government body; and/or

8.1.4 require an indemnity and/or security from you in return for

pursuing a course of action agreed to by you.

8.2 The discretion referred to in paragraph 8.1:

8.2.1 may be exercised at any time during which we have actual or

constructive possession of the Lot, or at any time after such

possession, where the cessation of such possession has occurred

by reason of any decision, order or ruling of any court, mediator,

arbitrator or government body; and

8.2.2 will not be exercised unless we believe that there exists a

serious prospect of a good arguable case in favour of the

claim.

9 FORGERIES

9.1 We undertake a personal responsibility for any Forgery in

accordance with the terms of this paragraph 9.

9.2 Paragraph 9 applies only if:

9.2.1 your name appears as the named person to whom the

original invoice was made out by us in respect of the Lot and

that invoice has been paid; and

9.2.2 you notify us in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after

you have become aware that the Lot is or may be a Forgery,

and in any event within one year after the Sale, that the Lot is

a Forgery; and

9.2.3 within one month after such notification has been given, you

return the Lot to us in the same condition as it was at the time

of the Sale, accompanied by written evidence that the Lot is

a Forgery and details of the Sale and Lot number sufficient to

identify the Lot.

9.3 Paragraph 9 will not apply in respect of a Forgery if:

9.3.1 the Entry in relation to the Lot contained in the Catalogue

reflected the then accepted general opinion of scholars and

experts or fairly indicated that there was a conflict of such

opinion or reflected the then current opinion of an expert

acknowledged to be a leading expert in the relevant field; or

9.3.2 it can be established that the Lot is a Forgery only by means

of a process not generally accepted for use until after the

date on which the Catalogue was published or by means of

a process which it was unreasonable in all the circumstances

for us to have employed.

9.4 You authorise us to carry out such processes and tests on

the Lot as we in our absolute discretion consider necessary

to satisfy ourselves that the Lot is or is not a Forgery.

9.5 If we are satisfied that a Lot is a Forgery we will (as principal)

purchase the Lot from you and you will transfer the title to

the Lot in question to us, with full title guarantee, free from

any liens, charges, encumbrances and adverse claims, in

accordance with the provisions of Sections 14(1) (a) and 14(1)

(b) of the Sale of Goods Ordinance (Chapter 26 of the Laws

of Hong Kong) and we will pay to you an amount equal to

the sum of the Purchase Price, Buyer’s Premium, Tax and

Expenses paid by you in respect of the Lot.

9.6 The benefit of paragraph 9 is personal to, and incapable of

assignment by, you.

9.7 If you sell or otherwise dispose of your interest in the Lot, all

rights and benefits under this paragraph will cease.

9.8 Paragraph 9 does not apply to a Lot made up of or including

a Chinese painting or Chinese paintings, a motor vehicle or

狀況。尤其是可能有部件已置換或更新，拍賣品亦可

能並非真品或具有滿意品質；拍賣品的內部可能無法

查看，而其可能並非原物或有損壞，例如為襯裡或

物料所覆蓋。鑑於很多拍賣品出品年代久遠，故可能

有損毀及／或經過修理，閣下不應假設拍賣品狀況

良好。

電子或機械部件或會不能操作或並不符合現時的法定

要求。閣下不應假設其設計為使用主電源的電器物品

乃適合接上主電源，閣下應在得到合格電工報告其適

合使用主電源後，方可將其接上主電源。不適合接上

電源的物品乃僅作為擺設物品出售。

若閣下對拍賣品並無專業知識，則應諮詢有該等知識

人士的意見。本公司可協助閣下安排進行（或已進

行）更詳細的查驗。詳情請向本公司職員查詢。

任何人士損毀拍賣品須承擔所導致的損失。

3. 拍賣品的說明及成交價估計

拍賣品的合約說明

圖錄內載有每項拍賣品的資料。賣家僅按資料內以粗

體刊載的部份以及（除顏色外，該等顏色可能未有準

確重現拍賣品的顏色）圖錄內所載的任何照片，向買

家相應出售每項拍賣品。資料內其餘並非以粗體刊載

的部份，僅為邦瀚斯代表賣家就拍賣品提供的意見，

並不構成合約說明一部份，而賣家乃根據合約說明出

售拍賣品。

成交價估計

在大部份情況下，成交價估計會刊載於資料旁邊。成

交價估計僅為邦瀚斯代表賣家表達的意見，而邦瀚斯

認為拍賣品相當可能會以該價成交；成交價估計並非

對價值的估計。成交價估計並無計及任何應付稅項或

買家費用。拍賣品實際成交價可能低於或高於成交價

估計。閣下不應依賴任何成交價估計為拍賣品實際售

價或價值的指標。

成交價估計採用拍賣會所用的貨幣單位。

狀況報告

就大部份拍賣品而言，閣下可要求邦瀚斯提供拍賣品

的狀況報告。若閣下提出該要求，則邦瀚斯會免費代

賣家提供該報告。邦瀚斯 並無就該狀況報告與閣下

訂立合約，因此，邦瀚斯並不就該報告向閣下承擔責

任。對此份供閣下本身或閣下所指示專家查閱的免費

報告，賣家向閣下作為競投人亦不承擔或並無同意承

擔任何義務或責任。然而，狀況報告內有關拍賣品的

書面說明構成拍賣品的合約說明一部份，賣家乃根據

合約說明向買家出售拍賣品。

賣家對閣下的責任

就賣家或其代表所作出以任何形式說明拍賣品或有關

拍賣品預測售價或可能售價的任何陳述或申述的準確

性或完備性，賣家並無或並無同意作出任何事實陳述

或合約承諾、擔保或保證，亦不就其承擔不論合約或

侵權法上的任何義務或責任（除對上述對最終買家的

責任除外）。除以上所述外，以任何形式說明拍賣品

或任何成交價估計的陳述或申述概不納入賣家與買家

訂立的任何銷售合約內。

邦瀚斯 對閣下的責任

如閣下擬查看拍賣品，閣下會獲得有關安排。有關拍

賣品的銷售合約乃與賣家訂立而非邦瀚斯；邦瀚斯 僅

作為賣家的代理行事（邦瀚斯作為主事人出售拍賣品

除外）。

邦瀚斯 概不向閣下承擔任何對於每件拍賣品進行查

驗、調查或任何測試（足夠深入或完全不進行），

以確定邦瀚斯或代表邦瀚斯的任何人士在圖錄內或

其他地方作出的任何說明或意見的準確性或其他的

責任。

閣下不應假定已經進行該等查驗、調查或測試。

就邦瀚斯 或其代表所作出以任何形式說明拍賣品或有

關拍賣品預測售價或可能售價的任何陳述或申述的準

確性或完備性，邦瀚斯 並無或並無同意作出任何事實

陳述，亦不就其承擔任何（不論合約或侵權法上的）

義務或責任。

邦瀚斯 或其代表以任何形式說明拍賣品或任何成交價

估計的陳述或申述概不納入買家協議內。

修改邦瀚斯可於拍賣會前或於拍賣會上以口頭或書面

形式給予通知下，不時按邦瀚斯的酌情權決定修改說

明及成交價估計。

拍賣品可供查看，而閣下必須自行對拍賣品作出判

斷。本公司強烈建議閣下於拍賣會前親自或委託他人

代閣下查看拍賣品。

4. 拍賣會的規則

本公司舉行的拍賣會為公開拍賣，各界人士均可參

加，閣下亦應把握其機會。

本公司亦保留權利，可全權酌情拒絕任何人士進入本

公司物業或任何拍賣會，而無須提出理由。本公司可

全權決定銷售所得款項、任何拍賣品是否包括於拍賣

會、拍賣會進行的方式，以及本公司可以按我們選擇

的任何次序進行拍賣，而不論圖錄內所載的拍賣品編

號。因此，閣下應查核拍賣會的日期及開始時間，是

否有拍賣品撤銷或有新加入的拍賣品。請注意有拍賣

品撤銷或新加入均可能影響閣下對其有興趣的拍賣品

的拍賣時間。

本公司可全權決定拒絕任何出價，採用我們認為適合

的出價增幅，將任何拍賣品分開拍賣，將兩項或以上

拍賣品合併拍賣，撤銷於某個拍賣會上拍賣的任何拍

賣品，以及於有爭議時將任何拍賣品重新拍賣。

拍賣速度可超過每小時100項拍賣品，而出價增幅一

般約為10%。然而，這些都可因不同的拍賣會及拍賣

人而有所不同，請向主辦拍賣會的部門查詢這方面的

意見。

倘若拍賣品有底價，拍賣人可按其絕對酌情權代表賣

家出價（直至金額不等於或超過該底價為止）。本

公司不會就任何拍賣品設有底價或不設底價而向閣下

負責。

倘若設有底價，並假設底價所用的貨幣單位對成交價

估計所用貨幣單位的匯率並無出現不利變動，底價通

常不會高於圖錄所載的任何最低成交價估計。

任何拍賣品的買家為出價最高者（在符合任何適用的

底價的情況下）並為拍賣人以敲打拍賣人槌子形式接

納其出價的競投人。任何有關最高可接受出價的爭議

由拍賣人以絕對酌情權決定。

所有競投出價須就拍賣人宣佈的實際拍賣品編號作

出。

拍賣會上可能會使用電子貨幣換算機。該設備乃為

採用若干貨幣的出價而提供與其相等幣值的一般指

引，本公司不會就使用該等貨幣換算機的任何錯誤而

負責。

本公司謹此知會閣下，本公司可能為保安理由以及協

助解決拍賣會上可能在出價方面產生的任何爭議，

而以攝錄機錄影拍賣會作為記錄及可能將電話內容

錄音。

在某些例如拍賣珠寶的拍賣會，我們或會在銀幕上投

射拍賣品的影像，此服務乃為便於在拍賣會上觀看。

銀幕上的影像只應視為顯示當時正進行拍賣的拍賣

品，閣下須注意，所有競投出價均與拍賣人實際宣佈

的拍賣品編號有關，本公司不會就使用該等銀幕的任

何錯誤而負責。

5. 競投

參加競投的任何人士，必須於拍賣會前填妥並交回本

公司的競投表格，競投人登記表格或缺席者及電話競

投表格），否則本公司不會接受其出價。本公司可要

求閣下提供有關身份、住址、財務資料及介紹人的

證明，閣下必須應本公司要求提供該等證明，否則本

公司不會接受閣下出價。請攜帶護照、香港身份證（

或附有照片的類似身份證明文件）及扣賬卡或信用卡

出席拍賣會。本公司可要求閣下交付保證金，方接受

競投。

即使已填妥競投表格，本公司仍有權拒絕任何人士進

入拍賣會。

親自出席競投

閣下須於拍賣會舉行當日（或，如可以，之前）前往

拍賣會的競投人登記櫃檯填寫競投人登記表格。所採

用的競投編號制度可稱為「舉牌競投」。閣下會獲發

一個註有號碼的大型牌子（「號牌」），以便閣下於

拍賣會競投。要成功投得拍賣品，閣下須確保拍賣人

可看到閣下號牌的號碼，該號碼會用作識別閣下為買

家。由於所有拍賣品均會按照競投人登記表格所載的

姓名及地址發出發票，故閣下不應將號牌轉交任何其

他人士使用。發票一經發出後將不予更改。

若對於成交價或閣下是否成功投得某項拍賣品有任何

疑問，閣下必須於下一項拍賣品競投前向拍賣人提

出。拍賣人的決定得視為最終及不可推翻的決定。

拍賣會結束後，或閣下完成競投後，請把號牌交回競

投人登記櫃檯。

電話競投

若閣下擬用電話於拍賣會競投，請填妥缺席者及電話

競投表格，該表格可於本公司辦事處索取或附於圖錄

內。請於拍賣會舉行前最少24小時把該表格交回負

責有關拍賣會的辦事處。閣下須負責查核本公司的競

投辦事處是否已收到閣下的出價。電話內容可能被錄

音。電話競投辦法為一項視情況酌情提供的服務，並

非所有拍賣品均可採用。若於拍賣會舉行時無法聯絡

閣下，或競投時電話接駁受到干擾，本公司不會負責

代表閣下競投。有關進一步詳情請與我們聯絡。

以郵遞或傳真方式競投

缺席者及電話競投表格載於本圖錄後，閣下須填妥該

表格並送交負責有關拍賣會的辦事處。由於在有兩個

或以上競投人就拍賣品遞交相同出價時，會優先接受

最先收到的出價，因此，為閣下的利益起見，應盡早

交回表格。無論如何，所有出價最遲須於拍賣會開始

前24小時收到。請於交回閣下的缺席者及電話競投表

格前，仔細檢查該表格是否已填妥並已由閣下簽署。

閣下須負責查核本公司的競投辦事處是否已收到閣下

的出價。此項額外服務屬免費及保密性質。閣下須承

擔作出該等出價的風險，本公司不會就未能收到及／

或代為出價而承擔任何責任。所有代閣下作出的出價

會以盡可能最低的價格作出，惟須受拍賣品的底價及

其他出價的規限。在適當時，閣下的出價會下調至最

接近之金額，以符合拍賣人指定的出價增幅。新競投

人在遞交出價時須提供身份證明，否則可導致閣下的

出價不予受理。

網上競投

參與在線競拍，首先您必須年滿18歲，並且必須通過

邦瀚斯官方應用程序或www.bonhams.com 註冊。 一

旦註冊，您應嚴格保密您的賬戶及個人信息，防止任

何第三方代表您或以其他任何方式登入您的賬戶。您

意，一旦競拍成功，您必須從您個人或公司（取決於

賬戶類型）名下的銀行賬戶進行付款。

生日期和國籍，並提供您名下的有效信用卡。在您能

夠競投之前，將通過Stripe進行驗證。 如果您的信用卡

沒有通過驗證，您將不被允許競拍。此時您可以聯繫

客戶服務部尋求幫助。 此外，我們可能會在允許競拍

之前要求您提供額外的財務證明和/或存款證明。 如果

您代表另一方競拍，您將需要：(i)向客戶服務部做出申

請；(ii)提供我們需要的信息，完成對該第三方的身份

和反洗錢調查；(ii)如果您競拍成功，您將需要與該方

共同或承擔拍品的全部款項。 如果您成功拍得拍品的

任何落槌價等於或超過5,000英鎊/10,000美元/50,000

港幣/10,000澳幣（取決於該場拍賣司法管轄區的貨

幣），並且您之前沒有提供過上述文件，您將需要上

傳或向客戶服務部提供您通過政府簽發的帶照片的身

份證，以及（如果身份證上沒有）您的住址證明。我

們只有在收到上述文件後，才能將拍品交給您。我們

人的註冊，禁止競拍和/或推遲或取消可能進行的任何

購買行 。

透過代理人競投

本公司會接受代表競投表格所示主事人作出的出價，

惟本公司有權拒絕代表主事人的代理作出的出價，並

可能要求主事人以書面形式確認代理獲授權出價。儘

管如此，正如競投表格所述，任何作為他人代理的人

士（不論他是否已披露其為代理或其主事人的身份）

，須就其獲接納的出價而根據因此而產生的合約與主

事人共同及個別向賣家及邦瀚斯負責。

在上文規限下，倘若閣下是代表他人於拍賣會競投拍

賣品，請知會本公司。同樣，倘若閣下擬委託他人代

表閣下於拍賣會競投，亦請知會本公司，但根據閣下

所填缺席者及電話競投表格而由本公司代為競投除

外。假若本公司並無於拍賣會前以書面形式認可有關

代理安排，則本公司有權假定該名於拍賣會上競投的

人士是代表本身進行競投。因此，該名於拍賣會上競

投的人士將為買家，並須負責支付成交價及買家費用

以及有關收費。若本公司事先已認許閣下所代表的當

事人，則我們會向閣下的主事人發出發票而非閣下。

就代理代表其當事人作出的出價，本公司須事先獲得

該當事人的身份證明及地址。有關詳情，請參與本公

司的業務規則及聯絡本公司客戶服務部。

6. 買家與賣家及買家與邦瀚斯的合約

於買家投得拍賣品後，賣家與買家須按圖錄後附錄一

所載銷售合約的條款，訂立拍賣品的銷售合約，除非

該等條款已於拍賣會前及／或於拍賣會上以口頭公佈

形式被修訂。閣下須負責支付買價，即成交價加任何

稅項。

同時，本公司作為拍賣人亦會與買家訂立另一份合

約，即買家協議，其條款載於圖錄後部的附錄二內。

若閣下為成功競投人，請細閱本圖錄內銷售合約及買

家協議的條款。本公司可於訂立該等協議前修訂其中

一份或同時兩份協議的條款，修訂方式可以是在圖錄

載列不同的條款，及／或於圖錄加入插頁，及／或於

拍賣會場地以通告，及／或於拍賣會之前或之上以口

頭形式公佈。閣下須注意此等可能修訂的情況，並於

競投前查詢是否有任何修訂。

7. 買家費用及買家須支付的其他收費

根據買家協議，買家須按照買家協議條款及下文所列

的費率向本公司支付費用（買家費用），該費用按成

交價計算，並為成交價以外的收費。買家亦須按照買

家協議的規定支付儲存收費的開支。

買家須就本次拍賣會所購買的每件拍賣品按以下費率

支付買家費用：

成交價首400,000港元的28%

成交價400,001港元以上至7,500,000港元的27%

成交價7,500,001港元以上至 50,000,000港元的21%

成交價50,000,000港元以上的14.5%

8. 稅項

買家支付的成交價及買家費用並不包括任何商品或服

務稅或其他稅項（不論香港或其他地方是否徵收該等

稅項）。若根據香港法例或任何其他法例而須繳納該

等稅項，買家須單獨負責按有關法例規定的稅率及時

間繳付該等稅項，或如該等稅項須由本公司繳付，則

本公司可把該等稅項加於買家須支付的買價。

9. 付款

於出價競投拍賣品前，閣下必須確保擁有可動用資

金，以向本公司全數支付買家及買家費用（加稅項

及任何其他收費及開支）。若閣下為成功競投人，

閣下須於拍賣會後第二個工作日下午四時三十分前

向本公司付款，以便所有款項於拍賣會後第七個工

作日前已結清。閣下須以下列其中一種方法付款

（所有支票須以Bonhams (Hong Kong) Limited)。

邦瀚斯保留於任何時間更改付款條款的權利。除非

本公司事先同意，由登記買家以外的任何人士付款

概不接受。

邦瀚斯首選的付款方式是通過銀行匯款：

閣下可把款項電匯至本公司的信託帳

戶。請註明閣下的號牌編號及發票號碼作為參考。

本公司信託帳戶的詳情如下：

銀行： HSBC

地址： Head Office

1 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong

帳戶名稱： Bonhams (Hong Kong)

Limited-Client A/C

帳號： 808 870 174001

Swift code: HSBCHKHHHKH

若以銀行匯款支付，在扣除任何銀行費用及或將付

款貨幣兌換為港元後的金額，本公司所收到的金額

不得少於發票所示的應付港元金額。

由一家銀行的香港分行付款的私人港元支票：須待

支票結清後，閣下方可領取拍賣品。

銀行匯票／本票：如閣下可提供適當身份證明，而

這些資金源自您自己的帳戶，且本公司信納該匯票

屬真實，本公司可容許閣下即時領取拍賣品。

現金： 如所購得的拍賣品總值不超過HK$80,000，

閣下可以使用鈔票、錢幣為這次拍賣會上所購得的

拍賣品付款。如所購得的拍賣品總值超過HK$80,000

，HK$80,000以外的金額，敬請閣下使用鈔票、錢幣

以外的方式付款。

由香港銀行發出的扣賬卡 (易辦事)：以此等卡支付

將不會收取附加費。

中國銀聯（CUP）借記卡： 以此方法付款，將不收取

額外的費用。

我們建議，閣下在拍賣前可預先通知發卡銀行，以

免您於付款時，由於需要確認授權而造成延誤。

信用卡：美國運通卡，Visa, Mastercard卡及中國銀聯

信用卡均可使用。請注意，以信用卡付款的話，本公

司每次拍賣接受總數不超過HK$200,000。如所購得的

拍賣品總值超過HK$200,000，閣下可使用匯款或以上

提及的方式支付。

在符合我們的規定下，如要以通過電話的形式以

信用卡支付，本公司每次拍賣接受的總數不超過

HK$50,000，但此方式不適用於第一次成功競拍

的買家。

10. 領取及儲存

拍賣品的買家須待全數以已結清款項付款後，方可領

取拍賣品（本公司與買家另有安排除外）。有關領取

拍賣品、儲存拍賣品以及本公司的儲存承辦商詳情載

於圖錄後的附錄二之買家協議。

11. 運輸

有關這方面的問題，請向本公司負責拍賣會的客戶服

務部門查詢。

12. 出口／貿易限制

閣下須單獨承擔符合與閣下購買拍賣品有關的香港所

有出口及從海外進口的規例以及取得有關出口及／或

進口許可證的責任。

各國對發出進出口許可證有不同的規定，閣下應了解

所有有關的當地規定及條文。

倘若閣下未能或延誤取得該等許可證，閣下不可撤銷

任何銷售，亦不容許閣下延遲全數支付拍賣品。

13. 瀕危野生動植物種國際貿易公約（「CITES」）

建議買家在需要從香港出口任何貨物到進口地時，了

解適用的香港出口及海外進口規例。買家亦須注意，

除非取得香港漁農自然護理署發出的CITES出口證，香

港禁止出口任何以象牙、鯨魚骨、龜甲、犀牛角、珊

瑚及其他受限制物品所做成的物品或包含該等原素的

物品。辦理該等出口證可能需時八個星期。

請注意在圖錄內拍賣品編號旁附有Y的拍賣品包含一個

或多個上述的限制物品。但沒有附有Y字母的，並不自

動地表示拍賣品不受CITES規例所限。本公司建議買

家在出價前從有關監管機構取得關於進出口管制的資

料、規定及費用。

14. 賣家及／或邦瀚斯的責任

除根據銷售合約賣家須對買家承擔的責任外，本公司

或賣家（不論是疏忽或其他）概不對拍賣品說明或拍

賣品的成交價估計的任何錯誤或錯誤說明或遺漏負

責，而不論其是載於圖錄內或其他，亦不論是於拍賣

會上或之前以口頭或書面形式作出。本公司或賣家亦

不就任何業務、利潤、收益或收入上的損失，或聲譽

受損，或業務受干擾或管理層或職工浪費時間，或任

何種類的間接損失或相應產生的損害而承擔任何責

任，而在任何情況下均不論指稱所蒙受損失或損害賠

償的性質、數量或來源，亦不論該等損失或損害賠償

是否由於任何疏忽、其他侵權法、違反合約（如有）

或法定責任、復還申索或其他而產生或就此而申索。

在任何情況下，倘若本公司及／或賣家就任何拍賣品

或對任何拍賣品的說明或成交價估計，或任何拍賣

品有關拍賣會的進行而須承擔責任，不論其是損害賠

償、彌償或責任分擔，或復還補救責任或其他，本公

司及／或賣家的責任（倘若本公司及賣家均須負責，

雙方聯同負責）將限於支付金額最高不超過拍賣品買

價的款項，而不論指稱所蒙受損失或損害賠償或所申

索應付款項的性質、數量或來源，亦不論該等責任是

由於任何疏忽、其他侵權法、違反合約（如有）或法

定責任或其他而產生。

上文所述不得解釋為排除或限制（不論直接或間接）

本公司就(i)欺詐，或(ii)因本公司疏忽（或因本公司所

控制的任何人士或本公司在法律上須代其負責任的任

何人士的疏忽）引致人身傷亡，或(iii)根據香港法例第

314章佔用人法律責任條例，本公司須負責的作為或不

作為，或(iv)任何法律上不可排除或限制的其他責任或

(v)本公司根據買家協議第9段的承諾，而須承擔的責

任，或排除或限制任何人士就上述而享有的權利或補

救方法。此段同樣適用於賣家，猶如本段凡提述本公

司均以賣家取代。

15. 損壞及修復

競投人須注意本圖錄並無就任何瑕疵、損壞或修復提

供指引。邦瀚斯可在拍賣會前24小時提供一份詳細

的狀況報告。本公司在提供狀況報告時，不能保證

並無任何沒有提及的其他瑕疵。競投人應自行審視

拍賣品，以了解其狀況。請參閱刊載在本圖錄的銷售

合約。

16. 書籍

如上文所述，拍賣品乃以其「現況」售予買家，附有

以下拍賣品說明所列出的各種瑕疪、缺點及錯誤。然

而，在買家協議第 11 段所列出之情況下，閣下有權拒

絕領取書籍。請注意：購買包含印刷書籍、無框地圖

及裝訂手稿的拍賣品，將無須繳付買家費用的增值稅。

17. 鐘錶

所有拍賣品均以拍賣時的「現況」出售；對於鐘錶狀

況並沒有提供任何指引，並不代表該拍賣品狀況良好、

毫無缺陷，或未曾維修、修復。大部份鐘錶在其正常

使用期內都曾維修，並或裝進非原裝的配件。此外，

邦瀚斯並不表述或保證鐘錶都在正常運轉的狀態中。

由於鐘錶通常包含精細而複雜的機械裝置，競投人應

當知悉鐘錶或需接受保養、更換電池或進行維修，以

上全是買家的責任。競投人應當知悉勞力士、法穆蘭

及崑崙等品牌的腕錶進口至美國是有嚴格限制的，或

不能經船運而只能由個人帶進。

18. 珠寶

寶石

根據以往經驗，很多寶石都經過一系列的處理去提升

外觀。藍寶石及紅寶石慣常會作加熱處理以改良色澤

及清晰度；為了類似原因，綠寶石會經過油或樹脂的

處理。其他寶石則會經過如染色、輻照或鍍膜等的處

理。此等處理有些是永久的，有些則隨著年月需要不

斷維護以保持其外觀。競投人應當知悉估計拍賣品的

成交價時，已假設寶石或接受過該等處理。有數家鑑

定所可發出說明更詳盡的證書；但就某件寶石所接受

的處理與程度，不同鑑定所的結論並不一定一致。倘

若邦瀚斯已取得有關任何拍賣品的相關證書，此等內

容將於本圖錄裡披露。雖然根據內部政策，邦瀚斯將

盡力為某些寶石提供認可鑑定所發出的證書，但要為

每件拍賣品都獲取相關證書，實際上並不可行。倘若

本圖錄裡並沒有刊出證書，競投人應當假設該等寶石

已經過處理。邦瀚斯或賣家任何一方在任何拍賣品出

售以後，即使買家取得不同意見的證書，也概不負責。

估計重量

如該寶石重量在本圖錄內文裡以大寫字母顯示，表明

該寶石未經鑲嵌，並且是由邦瀚斯稱重量的。如果該

寶石的重量以「大約」表示，以及並非以大寫字母顯

示，表明該寶石由我們依據其鑲嵌形式評估，所列重

量只是我們陳述的意見而已。此資料只作為指引使用，

競投人應當自行判別該資料的準確度。

署名

1. 鑽石胸針，由辜青斯基製造

19. 圖畫

拍賣品圖錄詞彙解釋

以下詞彙在本圖錄裡有下列意義，但以銷售合約內跟

拍賣品說明相關的一般條文為準：

「巴薩諾」：我們認為這是該藝術家的作品。倘若該

藝術家的名字不詳，其姓氏後附有一串星號，不論前

面有沒有列出名字的首字母，表示依我們的意見這乃

是該藝術家的作品；

「出自巴薩諾」：我們認為這很可能是該藝術家的作

品，但其確定程度不如上一個類別那麼肯定；

「巴薩諾畫室／工作室」：我們認為這是該藝術家畫

室裡不知名人士的作品，是否由該藝術家指導下創作

則不能確定；

「巴薩諾圈子」：我們認為這是由與該藝術家關係密

切的人士所創作，但不一定是其弟子；

「巴薩諾追隨者」：我們認為這是以該藝術家風格創

作的畫家的作品，屬當代或接近當代的，但不一定是

其弟子；

「巴薩諾風格」：我們認為這是該藝術家風格的、並

且屬較後期的作品；

「仿巴薩諾」：我們認為這是該藝術家某知名畫作的

複製作品；

「由……署名及／或註上日期及／或題詞」：我們認

為署名及／或日期及／或題詞出自該藝術家的手筆；

「載有……的署名及／或日期及／或題詞」：我們認

為簽署及／或日期及／或題詞是由他人加上的。

20. 瓷器及玻璃

損毁及修復

在本圖錄裡，作為閣下的指引，在切實可行的範圍內，

我們會詳細記述所有明顯的瑕疪、裂痕及修復狀況。

此等實際的損毁說明不可能作為確定依據，而且提供

狀況報告後，我們不保證該物件不存在其他沒有提及

的瑕疪。競投人應當透過親自檢查而自行判別每件拍

賣品的狀況。請參閱刊載於本圖錄裡的銷售合約。由

於難以鑑別玻璃物件是否經過磨光，本圖錄內的參考

資料只列出清晰可看的缺口與裂痕。不論程度嚴重與

否，磨光狀況均不會提及。

21. 葡萄酒

凡在本公司總部拍賣場的以及需繳納增值稅的拍賣品，

或不能立刻領取。

檢驗葡萄酒

對於較大批量（定義見下文）的拍賣品，偶爾可進行

拍賣前試酒。通常，這只限於較新的及日常飲用的葡

萄酒。

我們一般不會開箱檢驗未開箱的葡萄酒。酒齡超過 20

年的酒通常已經開箱，缺量水平及外觀如有需要會在

本圖錄內說明，

酒塞與缺量

缺量指瓶塞底與液面之間的空間。波爾多酒瓶的缺量

水平一般在瓶頸下才會注意得到；而對於勃艮第、阿

爾薩斯、德國及干邑的酒瓶，則要大於 4 厘米（公分）。

可接受的缺量水平會隨著酒齡增加，一般的可接受水

平如下：

15 年以下－瓶頸內或少於 4 厘米

15-30 年－瓶肩頂部 (ts) 或最多 5 厘米

30 年或以上－瓶肩高處 (hs) 或最多 6 厘米

請注意：缺量水平在本圖錄發行至拍賣會舉行期間或

有所改變，而且瓶塞或會在運輸過程中出現問題。本

圖錄發行時，我們只對狀況說明出現差異承擔責任，

而對瓶塞問題所招致的損失，不論是在圖錄發行之前

或之後，我們概不負責。

批量購買的選擇

批量拍賣品乃指一定數目批次的、包含同款葡萄酒、

相同瓶數、相同瓶款及相同說明的拍賣品。批量拍賣

品內任何某批次的買家，可選擇以同樣價錢購買該批

量拍賣品其餘部份或全部的拍賣品，雖然該選擇權最

終由拍賣官全權酌情決定。因此，競投批量拍賣品時，

缺席的競投人最好能從第一批開始競投。

酒瓶細節及酒箱詞彙

本圖錄內下列詞彙有以下的意義：

CB – 酒莊瓶裝

DB – 葡萄園瓶裝

EstB – 莊園瓶裝

BB – 波爾多瓶裝

BE – 比利時瓶裝

FB – 法國瓶裝

GB – 德國瓶裝

OB – 奧波爾圖瓶裝

類證書不能成為延遲付款或取消購買的正當理由。

請參閱第 13 條。

○ 賣家獲邦瀚斯或第三方保證能取得拍賣品的最低

價格。第三方或會因此提供一個不可撤銷的出價；

如銷售成功，該第三方將可獲利，否則將有損失。
