How to Buy<br />
All you need to know about the bidding process at auction<br />
Viewing<br />
Catalogues<br />
Online catalogues can be viewed at<br />
www.gibsonsauctions.com.au approximately three weeks<br />
prior to the auction date.<br />
Complimentary printed catalogues are available at Gibson’s<br />
Auctioneers & Valuers.<br />
Symbols<br />
Occasionally, a symbol is printed next to a lot number,<br />
indicating a special clause associated with the sale of the<br />
item/s. Further information on symbols within our catalogues<br />
can be found on Page 1.<br />
Viewing<br />
Auction viewings are open to the public and usually take place<br />
three or four days prior to the auction date, at the location/s<br />
listed in the auction catalogue and on the website.<br />
Lot Descriptions<br />
Lot Descriptions provide basic catalogue information such<br />
as dimensions, date or age, medium, attribution, provenance<br />
and quantity.<br />
All lots are guaranteed for fourteen (14) days from the<br />
auction date.<br />
Estimates<br />
Estimates are printed in the catalogue beside every lot and<br />
take into account rarity, condition, quality and provenance.<br />
The reserve is the amount at which the item is available for<br />
purchase. The reserve is an undisclosed confidential amount<br />
which is set at, or below the low estimate.<br />
The reserve will never exceed the low estimate at Gibson’s<br />
Auctioneers & Valuers. Many lots are sold without reserve.<br />
Talk to our Specialists<br />
Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers are an experienced team of<br />
specialists who are available to discuss items in further detail,<br />
and to offer advice and assistance.<br />
Contact details for relevant specialists can be found on the<br />
inside front cover our auction catalogues and on our website.<br />
Condition Reports<br />
Condition Reports are available on request. Condition Reports<br />
supplement the lot description and provide information on the<br />
condition of an item.<br />
We strongly advise obtaining a condition report if you are<br />
unable to view an item in person prior to the auction.<br />
To request a condition report please email<br />
condition.reports@gibsonsauctions.com.au with the auction<br />
title and lot number/s.<br />
Bidding<br />
Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers offer four bidding options:<br />
1. Auction Room Bidding<br />
To bid in person we suggest you arrive early so that you<br />
have sufficient time to register for a bidding number prior<br />
to the auction. If this is your first time bidding with Gibson’s<br />
Auctioneers & Valuers please bring photo identification, such<br />
as a driver’s licence or passport with you.<br />
2. Telephone Bidding<br />
Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers offer telephone bidding on all<br />
lots, at all auctions.<br />
Telephone Bidding is a convenient solution if you are unable to<br />
attend an auction in person. A Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers<br />
staff member will call you approximately 5 lots in advance and<br />
with your instruction, bid on your behalf at the auction.<br />
Please note: Telephone Bids must be organised at least 24<br />
hours prior to the auction and that occasionally, the number<br />
of telephone bidders available may be restricted when the<br />
auction is offsite.<br />
To organise a Telephone Bid please follow the link<br />
to the Telephone Bidding form on our website:<br />
www.gibsonsauctions.com.au.<br />
Please fill in & return via email to mail@gibsonsauctions.com.au<br />
If this is your first time bidding with Gibson’s Auctioneers &<br />
Valuers, an email address is to be supplied when you submit<br />
your Telephone Bid, along with clear Photo ID verifying<br />
your address.
5<br />
3. Absentee Bids<br />
Absentee Bidding is another convenient solution if you<br />
are unable to attend an auction in person, to speak on the<br />
telephone or if you simply have a strict budget.<br />
An Absentee Bid should be set at the maximum amount<br />
you wish to bid on the lot/s you are interested in purchasing.<br />
Should the lot/s be knocked down at an amount lower than<br />
the bid recorded on your form, the lot will be sold to you for<br />
the lesser hammer price.<br />
Please note Absentee Bids must be received at least 24 hours<br />
prior to the auction to allow time for processing.<br />
To organise an Absentee Bid please follow the link to<br />
the Absentee Bidding form available on our website:<br />
www.gibsonsauctions.com.au.<br />
Please fill in & return via email to mail@gibsonsauctions.com.au<br />
If this is your first time bidding with Gibson’s Auctioneers<br />
& Valuers, an email address is to be supplied when you<br />
submit your Absentee Bid, along with clear Photo ID verifying<br />
your address.<br />
4. Online Bidding<br />
Online bidding allows you to bid via the internet in real<br />
time with a live broadcast of the auction. To bid online visit<br />
our website and follow the ‘Live Bidding’ link under the<br />
‘Auctions’ tab.<br />
Please register for this service at least 24 hours prior to the<br />
auction to ensure you do not miss your lot.<br />
Please note online bidding is powered by Invaluable.com and<br />
so will incur a 5% fee on successful lots.<br />
If you have not bid with Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers<br />
previously, a photo ID verifying your address will be<br />
required before you can be approved to bid. Please email to<br />
mail@gibsonsauctions.com.au as soon as practical.<br />
International Bidding<br />
If you are bidding from overseas for the first time, you will be<br />
asked to provide a clear Photo ID verifying your address and<br />
a deposit (set at Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers’ discretion)<br />
prior to the auction. The deposit is refundable within 48<br />
hours should you not be successful. If you are successful<br />
the deposit will be deducted from your invoice total. The<br />
remaining balance must be paid preferably by direct deposit.<br />
Bank details are provided in the Payment & Collection section<br />
of this guide.<br />
Payment & Collection<br />
Payments<br />
If you are successful an invoice (AU$) will be emailed or<br />

The Collection of the late Bjarne Nielsen<br />
Bjarne Kjær Nielsen was born in 1941 on<br />
the west coast of Denmark and grew up<br />
on a farm. At 15 he became a merchant<br />
seaman and travelled the world making<br />
many trips to the Far East. It was this first<br />
introduction to the art and culture of China<br />
which continued to enchant him for the rest<br />
of his life. In 1961 he became a permanent<br />
resident of Australia.<br />
He continued to travel widely and in 1969<br />
was given the opportunity to become<br />
the manager of Aronson Antiques where<br />
through his mentor Nico Aronson his<br />
love of Chinese and Dutch blue and white<br />
porcelain took hold. In 1971 he joined his<br />
father-in-law in the diamond business<br />
and found his true calling as a diamond<br />
merchant for the next 40 years. Bjarne’s<br />
business took him to Europe and the Far<br />
East several times a year and it always<br />
included a side trip to London where he<br />
could indulge in his interests, visiting<br />
antique dealers and galleries. Every trip<br />
seemed to include a parcel home with a<br />
precious piece of blue and white.<br />
This collection presented for sale is<br />
representative of his astute eye and<br />
passion for the beauty of art and especially<br />
antique Chinese and Delft porcelain.

NOTE<br />
In the last quarter of the 17th century<br />
a number of French huguenot<br />
craftsmen left their own country and<br />
settled in England to escape religious<br />
persecution. The Huguenots were<br />
generally popular in London due to<br />
the protestant reaction under William<br />
and Mary and several collections were<br />
made for their relief. This style of ewer<br />
was typical of French silver from this<br />
period and was introduced to England<br />
by The Huguenot silversmiths at the<br />
end of the 17th century.<br />
Pierre Harrache, thought to be from<br />
Rouen, was the first Huguenot to be<br />
admitted into the Goldsmiths Company.<br />
He is recorded in the company’s<br />
minutes of 21st July 1682 as having<br />
“lately come from France for to avoid<br />
persecution and live quietly” and was<br />
made a Freeman of the company<br />
on the same day. See page 87, “The<br />
Plate of the Worshipful Company of<br />
Goldsmiths,” by J. Bodman-Carrington<br />

business in Geelong, which expanded<br />
to employing some 17 workers by the<br />

business and moved to Melbourne<br />

agree to be bound by these terms.<br />
1. Background to the Terms used in<br />
these Conditions<br />
The conditions that are listed below contain terms<br />
that are used regularly and may need explanation.<br />
They are as follows:<br />
“the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid<br />
accepted by the Auctioneer<br />
“the Lot” means any item depicted within the sale for<br />
auction and in particular the item or items described<br />
against any lot number in the catalogue.<br />
“the Hammer price” means the amount of the highest<br />
bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot<br />
“the Buyers Premium” means the charge payable by<br />
the Buyer to the auction house as a percentage of<br />
the hammer price.<br />
“the Reserve” means the lowest amount at which<br />
Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers has agreed with the<br />
Seller that the lot can be sold.<br />
“Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation<br />
originally conceived and executed as a whole, with<br />
a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship,<br />
origin, age, period, culture or source, where the<br />
correct description as to such matters is not<br />
reflected by the description in the catalogue.<br />
Accordingly no lot shall be capable of being a forgery<br />
by reason of any damage or restoration work of any<br />
kind (Including re-painting).<br />
“the insured value” means the amount that Gibson’s<br />
Auctioneers & Valuers in its absolute discretion<br />
from time to time shall consider the value for which<br />
a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or<br />
not insurance is arranged by Gibson’s Auctioneers<br />
& Valuers.)<br />
All values expressed in Gibson’s Auctioneers &<br />
Valuers Pty Ltd catalogues (in any format) are in<br />
Australian Dollars (AU$). All bids, “hammer price”,<br />
“reserves”, “Buyers Premium” and other expressions<br />
of value are understood by all parties to be in<br />

2. Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers<br />
Auctions as Agent<br />
Except as otherwise stated Gibson’s Auctioneers &<br />
Valuers Pty Ltd acts as agent for the Seller.<br />
The contract for the sale of the property is therefore<br />
made between the Seller and the Buyer.<br />
3. Before the Sale<br />
A) EXAMINATION OF PROPERTY<br />
Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine<br />
in person any property in which they are interested<br />
before the Auction takes place. Neither Gibson’s<br />
Auctioneers & Valuers nor the Seller provides any<br />
guarantee in relation to the nature of the property<br />
apart from the Limited warranty in the paragraph<br />
below.<br />
The property is otherwise sold “AS IS”<br />
B) CATALOGUE AND OTHER DESCRIPTIONS<br />
All statements by Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers<br />
in the catalogue entry for the property or in the<br />
condition report, or made orally or in writing<br />
elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not<br />
to be relied upon as statements of fact. Such<br />
statements do not constitute a representation,<br />
warranty or assumption of liability by Gibson’s<br />
Auctioneers & Valuers of any kind. References in the<br />
catalogue entry to the condition report to damage<br />
or restoration are for guidance only and should be<br />
evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or<br />
a knowledgeable representative. The absence of<br />
such a reference does not imply that an item is free<br />
from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to<br />
particular defects imply the absence of any others.<br />
Estimates of the selling price should not be relied<br />
on as a statement that this is the price at which<br />
the item will sell or it’s value for any other purpose.<br />
Neither Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers nor The<br />
Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the<br />
catalogue or any supplemental material.<br />
Images are measured height by width (sight size).<br />
Illustrations are provided only as a guide and should<br />
not be relied upon as a true representation of colour<br />
or condition. Images are not shown at a standard<br />
scale. Mention is rarely made of frames (which may be<br />
provided as supplementary images on the website)<br />
which do not form part of the lot as described in the<br />
printed catalogue.<br />
Foreign buyers should note that all transactions<br />
are in Australian dollars (AU$)so there may be a<br />
small exchange rate risk. The costs associated<br />
with acquiring a good certificate will be carried by<br />
the purchaser. If the item turns out to be forged or<br />
otherwise incorrectly described, all reasonable costs<br />
will be borne by the vendor.<br />
C) BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY<br />
All property is sold “as is” without representation<br />
or warranty of any kind by Gibson’s Auctioneers<br />

E) ABSENTEE BIDS<br />

efforts to execute written bids delivered to us AT<br />
LEAST 24 Hours before the sale for the convenience<br />
of those clients who are unable to attend the auction<br />
in person. If we receive identical written bids on a<br />
particular lot, and at the auction these are the highest<br />
bids on that lot, then the lot will be sold to the person<br />
whose written bid was received and accepted first.<br />
Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken<br />
subject to other commitments at the time of the sale<br />
and we do not accept liability for failing to execute<br />
a written bid or for errors or omissions which may<br />
arise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check with<br />
Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers after the auction if<br />

& Valuers cannot be held responsible for any<br />
mis-communications in the process. The success<br />

to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price<br />
below which the Lot will not be sold. The reserve will<br />
not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue.<br />
The auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot<br />
below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the<br />

discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding<br />

divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and,<br />
in the case or error or dispute and whether during or
111<br />
after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to<br />
continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer<br />
and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises<br />
after the sale, then Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers’s<br />
sale record is conclusive.<br />
J) SUCCESSFUL BID AND PASSING OF RISK<br />
Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the highest<br />
bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer<br />
and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance<br />
of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract<br />

where relevant) passes immediately to the Buyer.<br />

(3) days from the date of the sale unless otherwise<br />
agreed in writing between Gibson’s Auctioneers &<br />

At the fall of the hammer, insurance is the<br />
responsibility of the purchaser.<br />

have the property packed, insured and shipped at<br />
the buyer’s expense. All packing, shipping, insurance,<br />

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers can assist with<br />
removal companies that the buyer can use but takes<br />

recommended third party.<br />
E) CULTURAL HERITAGE EXPORT LICENCES<br />
Unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, the fact<br />
that the buyer wishes to apply for an export licence<br />
does not affect his or her obligation to make full<br />
payment immediately, nor our right to charge<br />
interest or storage charges on late payment. It<br />
is the Buyer’s responsibility to check Australia’s<br />
Protection of Moveable Cultural Heritage Act 1986<br />
before purchase. If the Buyer requests Gibson’s<br />
Auctioneers & Valuers to apply for an export licence<br />
then we shall be entitled to charge a fee for this<br />
service. We shall not be obliged to rescind a sale nor<br />
to refund any interest or other expenses incurred<br />
by the Buyer where payment is made by the Buyer<br />
in circumstances where an export licence is not<br />
granted.<br />

to hold the defaulting Buyer liable for the<br />
total amount due and to commence legal<br />
proceedings for it’s recovery along with interest,<br />
legal fees and costs to the fullest extent<br />
permitted under applicable law<br />
to cancel the sale<br />
to resell the property publicly or privately on<br />
such terms as we see fit<br />
v) to pay the Seller an amount up to the net<br />
proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid<br />
by the defaulting Buyer. In these circumstances<br />
the defaulting Buyer can have no claim upon<br />
Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers in the event that<br />
the item(s) are sold for an amount greater than<br />
the original invoiced amount.<br />
vi)<br />
vii)<br />
to set off against any amounts which Gibson’s<br />
Auctioneers & Valuers may owe the Buyer in<br />
any other transactions, the outstanding amount<br />
remaining unpaid by the Buyer.<br />
where several amounts are owed by the Buyer to<br />
us, in respect of different transactions, to apply<br />
any amount paid to discharge any amount owed<br />
in respect of any particular transaction, whether<br />
or not the Buyer so directs.<br />
viii) to reject at any future auction any bids made by<br />
or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit<br />
from the Buyer prior to accepting any bids.<br />
ix)<br />

person holding security over any property in<br />
our possession owned by the Buyer whether by<br />
way of pledge, security interest or in any other<br />
way, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of<br />
the place where such property is located. The<br />
Buyer will be deemed to have been granted such<br />
security to us and we may retain such property<br />
as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations<br />
to us.<br />
x) to take such other action as Gibson’s<br />
Auctioneers & Valuers deem necessary or<br />
appropriate<br />
If we do sell the property under paragraph<br />
(iv), then the defaulting Buyer shall be liable<br />
for payment of any deficiency between the<br />
total amount originally due to us and the<br />
price obtained upon reselling as well as for<br />
all costs, expenses, damages, legal fees and<br />
commissions and premiums of whatever kinds<br />
associated with both sales or otherwise arising<br />
from the default.<br />
If we pay any amount to the Seller under<br />
paragraph (v) the Buyer acknowledges that<br />
Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers shall have all<br />
of the rights of the Seller, however arising, to<br />
pursue the Buyer for such amount.<br />
G) FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES<br />
Where purchases are not collected within three (3)<br />
days from the sale date, whether or not payment<br />
has been made, we shall be permitted to remove the<br />
property to a warehouse at the buyer’s expense, and<br />
only release the items after payment in full has been<br />
made of removal, storage handling, insurance and<br />
any other costs incurred, together with payment of all<br />
other amounts due to us.<br />

Valuers Liability<br />
Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers agrees to refund<br />
the purchase price in the circumstances of the<br />
Limited Warranty set out in paragraph 7 below.<br />
Apart from that, neither the Seller nor we, nor any<br />
of our employees or agents are responsible for<br />
the correctness of any statement of whatever kind<br />
concerning any lot, whether written or oral, nor<br />
for any other errors or omissions in description<br />
or for any faults or defects in any lots. Except as<br />
stated in paragraph 7 below, neither the Seller<br />
ourselves, our officers, agents or employees give any<br />
representation warranty or guarantee or assume any<br />
liability of any kind in respect of any lot with regard<br />
to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,<br />
description, size, quality, condition, attribution,<br />
authenticity, rarity, importance, medium, provenance,<br />
exhibition history, literature or historical relevance.<br />
Except as required by local law any warranty of any<br />
kind is excluded by this paragraph.<br />
7. Limited Warranty<br />
Subject to the terms and conditions of this<br />
paragraph, the Seller warrants for the period of<br />
fourteen (14) days from the date of the sale that<br />
any property described in this catalogue (noting<br />
such description may be amended by any saleroom<br />
notice or announcement) which is stated without<br />
qualification to be the work of a named author or
112<br />
authorship is authentic and not a forgery. The term<br />
“Author” or “authorship” refers to the creator of the<br />
property or to the period, culture, source, or origin<br />
as the case may be, with which the creation of such<br />
property is identified in the catalogue.<br />
The warranty is subject to the following:<br />
i) it does not apply where a) the catalogue<br />
description or saleroom notice corresponded<br />
to the generally accepted opinion of scholars<br />
and experts at the date of the sale or fairly<br />
indicated that there was a conflict of opinions,<br />
or b) correct identification of a lot can be<br />
demonstrated only by means of a scientific<br />
process not generally accepted for use until<br />
after publication of the catalogue or a process<br />
which at the date of the publication of the<br />
catalogue was unreasonably expensive or<br />
impractical or likely to have caused damage to<br />
the property.<br />
ii)<br />
iii)<br />
iv)<br />
the benefits of the warranty are not assignable<br />
and shall apply only to the original buyer of the<br />
lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by<br />
Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers when the lot was<br />
sold at Auction.<br />
the Original Buyer must have remained the<br />
owner of the lot without disposing of any interest<br />
in it to any third party<br />
The Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against<br />
the Seller in place of any other remedy which<br />
might be available, is the cancellation of the sale<br />
and the refund of the original purchase price<br />
paid for the lot less the buyers premium which is<br />
non refundable. Neither the Seller nor Gibson’s<br />
Auctioneers & Valuers will be liable for any<br />
special, incidental nor consequential damages<br />
including, without limitation, loss of profits not for<br />
interest.<br />
v) The Buyer must give written notice of claim<br />
to us within fourteen (14) days of the date of<br />
the Auction. The Seller shall have the right,<br />
to require the Buyer to obtain two written<br />
opinions by recognised experts in the field,<br />
mutually acceptable to the Buyer and Gibson’s<br />
Auctioneers & Valuers to decide whether or not<br />
to cancel the sale under warranty.<br />
vi)<br />
the Buyer must return the lot to Seller in the<br />
same condition that it was purchased.<br />
8. Severability<br />
If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any<br />
court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part<br />
shall be discounted and the rest of the Conditions<br />
shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent<br />
permitted by law.<br />
9. Copyright<br />
The copyright of all images, illustrations and written<br />

used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else without our<br />
prior written consent. Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers<br />
and the Seller make no representation or warranty<br />
that the Buyer of a property will acquire any copyright<br />

Overseas buyers and buyers non-resident in Australia<br />

15. Jewels & Watches<br />
GEMSTONES<br />
Gemstones have historically been subjected to a<br />
variety of treatments to enhance their appearance.<br />
Sapphire and rubies are routinely heat treated to<br />
improve their colour and clarity, similarly emeralds<br />
are frequently treated with oils or resin for the same<br />
purpose. Other treatments such as staining or dyeing,<br />
irradiation, filling or coating may have been used<br />
on other precious and semi-precious gemstones<br />
and organic material. These treatments may be<br />
permanent, whilst others may need special care to<br />
preserve their appearance. Buyers should assume<br />
that each lot has been subject to some form of<br />
treatment and that the estimates reflect this.<br />
A number of laboratories issue certificates that<br />
give detailed descriptions of gemstones, and in<br />
the event that Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers has<br />
been supplied with or obtained certificates for any<br />
lot, this shall be noted in the catalogue. However,<br />
as there may not be consensus between different<br />
laboratories on the degree, or types of treatment<br />
of the gemstones, Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers<br />
supplies these without warranty.<br />
Buyers should assume that all gemstones sold by<br />
Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers may have been<br />
subjected to such treatments, and that the catalogue<br />
estimates reflect this.<br />
PEARLS<br />
Pearls, like gemstones, are also subject to various<br />
treatments. Buyers should assume that any pearls<br />
sold by Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers may have<br />
been subjected to such treatments, and that the<br />
catalogue estimates reflect this.<br />
WATCHES<br />
Please note: All watches sold by Gibson’s<br />
Auctioneers & Valuers are sold on an “as is”<br />
basis. Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers makes no<br />
representation or warranty that any watch is in<br />
working order. Many watches have been repaired<br />
over their lifetime and may contain non-original parts.<br />
The absence of any reference to the condition of a<br />
watch does not imply that the lot is in good condition<br />
and without defects, repairs or restorations. Buyers<br />
should be aware that a general service, change of<br />
battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is<br />
solely responsible for, may be necessary.<br />
ESTIMATED WEIGHTS<br />
If a stone has a known weight, it has been weighed<br />
out of the mount. If a stone has an estimated weight,<br />
it is an approximate weight only and has been<br />
measured by us in the mount and is a statement of<br />
opinion only. The information is given as a guide only<br />
and Buyers should satisfy themselves with regard to<br />
this information as to its accuracy.
