BUYERS’ COMMISSION
20% (excluding VAT) is added to the hammer price of all lots. Our
internet platforms, Invaluable and The Saleroom, charge 3% extra to
on-line bidders.
ROOM BIDDERS
1. Room bidders must register and obtain a bidding number on
arrival. Proof of identity is required from clients new to us.
2. If successful in obtaining a lot please ensure you display your
number clearly to the auctioneer and that it is your number that
is called out. If there is any doubt about the hammer price or
buyer, please draw this to the attention of the auctioneer
immediately.
3. Payment may be made by cash, bank draft, cleared cheque, debit
or credit card — we accept Mastercard or Visa (a charge of 2% is
made on credit card transactions). There is no charge on debit
card transactions..
ABSENTEE BIDDING
1. If you are unable to attend you may bid before the sale, using the
form provided. Enter the maximum you are prepared to offer for
each lot and the auctioneer will represent you as if you are
personally attending the sale. Lots are knocked down at one step
above the next highest bid, and not necessarily at your highest
bid. Example: your bid is €1,000 and next highest bid is €800 –
the hammer price is €850.
2. LIMIT BIDDING: Absentee bidders may limit their total purchases
to a set amount by entering their limit on the bidding form. This
is especially useful for bidders wishing to cover as many lots as
possible while setting a maximum amount to spend.
3. “OR” BIDDING: Absentee bidders who wish to bid on two or more
lots, but only wish to purchase one, may do so by entering “OR”
between the bids – the lots will be bid on in catalogue order.
4. EQUAL BIDS: In the event of equal bids being received for the
same lot the first received will be given preference. If the
instruction “break ties” is entered on the bid form the auctioneer
will increase the bid by one step in the event of equal bids being
received or in the event of a tie with a room bidder.
5. “BUY” BIDS: Unless otherwise instructed bids of “Buy” or “Buy at
Best” shall be taken to indicate bids of up to three times the
stated higher estimate in the catalogue.
6. LIVE INTERNET BIDDING: You may watch and/or bid live with
video and audio link to the saleroom on our website
7. LIVE TELEPHONE BIDDING may be arranged on request, subject
to availability and given at least 24 hours notice. This facility is only
available on lots estimated at €1,000 or more, and a minimum
bid may be requested.
8. INVOICING AND PAYMENT: Successful absentee bidders will be
sent a pro forma invoice immediately after the sale with details of
payment methods. All invoices must be paid within 7 days of the
date of the sale or the lot(s) may be deemed in default and any
subsequent losses incurred on resale become the responsibility
of the bidder. The Auctioneers and House Agents Act, under which
we are licensed to hold public auctions, only allows for lots to be
handed over to purchasers when paid for in full.
PRICES REALISED
A complete list of prices realised and unsold lots will be posted to our
Internet website on the day after the sale.

licences are required for all archaeological items, as well as artworks
