EXHIBITION VIEWING
A pre-auction viewing allows bidders to ascertain the condition of the sale items.
Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in
which they are interested, before the auction takes place. Condition reports are
usually available on request and remain subject to the personal appreciation of
the prospective buyer. All lots are therefore sold in their condition at the moment
of the sale. No claims will therefore be accepted after the hammer has fallen.

NECESSARY CONDITIONS TO BID
The order of the sale will be that of the catalogue. Attributions are based on
scientific and artistic knowledge at the time of the sale. Sizes are given only for
your information. If the purchaser fails to abide by the aforementioned obligations,
the lot(s) concerned may be put back up for auction during the same session
or during a subsequent session, at the purchaser’s own risk.
BUYING ORDERS
It is possible for a bidder unable to attend the auction to fill out the buying- order
form appended to this catalogue. The auctioneer shall act on the behalf of the
bidder, in accordance with the instructions stated in the buying-order form.
A buying order is a service designed to help customers by the Auctioneer, who
shall not be held responsible for failing to execute an order by mistake or for
any other reason, if a telephone link is interrupted, cannot be made or is delayed.
SVV Yann Le Mouel declines any responsibility in case the telephone communication
should not be established. A buyer applying for a telephone bid that
could not be reached during the sale will be considered to have left a firm buying
order at the low estimate. The auctioneer is ready to accept the requests for telephone
bidding until the end of the pre-sale exhibition, but shall not be held liable
for any failure to execute a telephone bid due to error or omission.
The auctioneer reserves the right to record any telephone bidding.
COLLECTION OF PURCHASES
As soon as the hammer goes down, the lot is under the responsibility of the purchaser.
Buyers are advised to collect their purchases promptly, within a month, so as to
avoid storage costs. No purchase shall be handed over by the auctioneer to a
purchaser before a complete payment of the auction price and sales costs, and
handling and storage costs. For payment by check buyers are advised that property
will not be released until such check have been collected.
The purchaser is responsible for having his/her purchases insured, and the Auctioneer
shall accept no responsibility for any damage sustained by the lot after
the hammer has gone down.
