Online catalogues can be viewed at 

www.gibsonsauctions.com.au approximately three weeks 

prior to the auction date. 

Complimentary printed catalogues are available at Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers.

item/s. Further information on symbols within our catalogues 

can be found on Page 1. 

Viewing 

Auction viewings are open to the public and usually take place

Lot Descriptions 

Lot Descriptions provide basic catalogue information such 

as dimensions, date or age, medium, attribution, provenance 

and quantity. 

All lots are guaranteed for fourteen (14) days from the 

auction date. 

Estimates 

Estimates are printed in the catalogue beside every lot and 

take into account rarity, condition, quality and provenance. 

The reserve is the amount at which the item is available for 

purchase. The reserve is an undisclosed confidential amount 

which is set at, or below the low estimate. 

The reserve will never exceed the low estimate at Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers. Many lots are sold without reserve.

Bidding 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers offer four bidding options:

To bid in person we suggest you arrive early so that you 

have sufficient time to register for a bidding number prior 

to the auction. If this is your first time bidding with Gibson’s 

Auctioneers & Valuers please bring photo identification, such 

as a driver’s licence or passport with you. 

2. Telephone Bidding 

Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers offer telephone bidding on all 

lots, at all auctions. 

Telephone Bidding is a convenient solution if you are unable to 

attend an auction in person. A Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 

staff member will call you approximately 5 lots in advance and 

with your instruction, bid on your behalf at the auction. 

Please note: Telephone Bids must be organised at least 24 

hours prior to the auction and that occasionally, the number 

of telephone bidders available may be restricted when the 

auction is offsite. 

To organise a Telephone Bid please follow the link 

to the Telephone Bidding form on our website:

your Telephone Bid, along with clear Photo ID verifying

3. Absentee Bids 

Absentee Bidding is another convenient solution if you 

are unable to attend an auction in person, to speak on the 

telephone or if you simply have a strict budget. 

An Absentee Bid should be set at the maximum amount 

you wish to bid on the lot/s you are interested in purchasing. 

Should the lot/s be knocked down at an amount lower than 

the bid recorded on your form, the lot will be sold to you for 

the lesser hammer price. 

Please note Absentee Bids must be received at least 24 hours 

prior to the auction to allow time for processing.

our website and follow the ‘Live Bidding’ link under the 

‘Auctions’ tab. 

Please register for this service at least 24 hours prior to the

A scale model of the Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance, 

circa 1945, made by J.V Martin 

with brass dedication plate: 'Presented to Preston City 

Council in trust for the citizens by the S S & A. F. A' (Soldiers, 

Sailors, and Airmen's Fathers Association), comprising 

over 350 pieces of assembled wood, coated with sand and 

enamel painted 

25cm high, 70cm wide and deep (approx) 

HISTORY 

‘Dad’ Jack Vivian Martin was a carpenter/builder from East 

Malvern, a former World War I veteran and the father of an 

enlisted son, Jack Stanley Martin. He was described in The 

Age, 1944, as Vice President of the Malvern branch of the 

Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen’s Fathers Association (the 

Dads’ Association), This model for the citizens of Preston is 

one of several made by Martin. He built the models 

in his spare time to “serve as a memorial to the 

sons of fathers …who have paid the supreme 

sacrifice”. Other documented models 

include shrines for the S S & A. F. A 

of Horsham, The Returned Services League of Benalla, 

reputedly Malvern, and for the office of the Agent-General 

in London. The latter was ceremoniously presented to the 

then Premier of Victoria, Mr Dunstan, before its overseas 

exhibition and is now included in the collection of the 

Imperial War Museums, London. 

The scale models, regarded as ‘sacred gifts’, were presented 

in solemn and well attended civic dedication ceremonies. 

The Preston model also bears a plaque: 

”Let all men know that this is Holy Ground; neither decay or 

time shall ruin this shrine, for it is built not only of stone but 

also in the hearts of men; therefore instead of tears give 

remembrance instead of pity praise. The sacrifice of a nation 

lies here.” 

The S.S. & A.F.A was formed during The Great War under 

a slightly different name and had branches in most states. 

The ‘dads’ were active lobbyists, raising funds for the 

building of memorials and committed to returned 

veterans’ rights.

John William Lindt (1845-1926) 

Born in Frankfurt-on-Main, Germany, John William Lindt, son 

of a customs officer, received a thorough education with a 

promising and illustrious future ahead of him. His appetite for 

adventure drifted away from a traditional scholarly course. At 

seventeen, he ran away from home on board a Danish vessel 

en route to Australia. The voyage passed through the islands 

of New Guinea. Witnessing the native habitants of the islands 

was a formative experience for the young photographer, 

igniting a lifetime interest in anthropology. Lindt jumped ship 

at the Brisbane port and ventured into the outback, where 

he made a decent living in tuning and repairing pianos for 

Queensland homesteads. 

Restless and eager to explore, Lindt travelled further south, 

landing in Grafton, New South Wales. He took an assistant 

role under the local photographer Wagner where he 

eventually bought the studio outright in 1968. Lindt made 

the acquaintance of the Italian naturalist and explorer Signor 

D’Albertis, who happened to be convalescing in the area 

around 1873. This friendship reinforced the photographer's 

anthropological aptitude. The photographs produced during 

this time are some of the most captivating images of the 

artist’s oeuvre. 

The locality allowed Lindt to observe the customs and 

traditions of the Indigenous people from the Bundjalung, 

Gumbaynggirr and Yaegl nations, one of the few accessible 

and relatively unaltered communities in the region. The 

portraits made here of the traditional owners were 

engineered with Lindt’s germanic thoughtfulness for 

aesthetic composition while simultaneously attempting to 

document cultural artefacts particular to each sitter. He 

staged the portraits in the studio, influenced by the nature 

of the Wet Collodion process. This laboursome process 

required the glass plates to be exposed and developed 

before the surface dried and was not readily portable. 

Lindt’s photographs captured the volatile landscape and 

culture of colonial Australia, carrying an immeasurable 

value in the documentation of this period. His works are 

universally esteemed and enrich museum and gallery 

collections worldwide.

Henry Gregory Gregory (1813-1877) born in Cheltenham, 

England was educated at Douai and Downside Monastery 

and subsequently entered the order in 1833. He travelled 

to Australia in 1835 with first appointed Bishop of Australia, 

John Bede Polding. It was great privilege for the young 

Gregory to accompany the Bishop, performing the duty 

of catechist as he was not yet fully ordained. The following 

year Gregory spent some time in Norfolk Island as assistant 

chaplain and showed fortitude during a mutiny there. 

They returned to Rome, allowing Gregory to complete his 

doctorate in divinity, bolstering his position in the order and 

preparing the young monk for great responsibilities in the 

colony. They sailed back to Sydney in 1843, under Poldings 

guidance and encouragement Gregory was ordained Prior 

and later Abbot of St Mary’s Abbey, Sydney. 

The Irish Catholics had a strong foothold in the colony and 

did not take fondly to Gregory or Poldings interference. 

Gregory was ordained vicar-general to Polding in 1844. 

At the age of 30 Gregory did not possess the diplomatic 

complexities required to unite the clergy and laity. Following 

numerous complaints from monks, clergy and laity in 

Sydney, Gregory was recalled and left Sydney in February 

1861. He was later exonerated by the Vatican, but decided to 

remain in England for the remainder of his life.

John Turner Flinn, born in Devon, England, in 1791, had 

five children through marriage to Edwardina Augusta Kent, 

a lady of misty origins rumoured to be Queen Caroline's 

illegitimate daughter. Serving 39 years in the regiment of 

the Royal British Navy, Flinn was widely acknowledged by 

his peers as a brave and gallant officer, rising to the position 

of 1st Lieutenant. His active service was eventful; receiving 

a gunshot wound to the neck during a skirmish with the 

French, fighting in the Napoleonic wars, and reportedly 

acting as a covert government agent. Most notably, Flinn 

entered the service of Queen Caroline during her period of 

exile from Britain as commander of her yacht around the 

Mediterranean. 1 His society with the Queen is illustrated 

in several politicised caricatures (published by George 

Humphrey for the press during the trial of her alleged 

adultery). After Queen Caroline's death, Flinn was an agent 

to Count Ludolph in obtaining foreign prize-money and 

also a prize-agent in Britain. 2 His task was hunting down 

marines who had unclaimed prize money from foreign 

warfare for a commission of 2%. It was a lucrative and 

respectable venture for a man of Flinn’s status, however the 

temptation to defraud the system would ultimately lead to 

his transportation to Australia. 

Flinn continued the work as a prize-agent even though his 

official license elapsed in 1835. He had entered into an 

agreement with William Holgate, a clerk from the Chelsea 

Hospital (where prize funds were distributed). For a small fee, 

Holgate would provide Flinn with officers’ names and prize 

amounts owing, giving him an edge above other competing 

agents. Flinn concocted a scheme to misappropriate a large 

sum of winnings on behalf of deceased soldier George 

Langley. Despite Flinn's condition in life and high society, 

an amount of over 177 pounds was incredibly enticing. A 

series of cunningly forged letters were all that was required 

for him to obtain the entire sum. The transaction did not 

go unnoticed by the authorities, however. Investigations 

uncovered the deceit and pointed to Flinn as the main 

perpetrator. On 28th May 1840, the Crown indicted Flinn for 

forgery at The Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, London. 

The evidence and witness statements were incriminating 

and Flinn was sentenced to transportation for life. He 

narrowly escaped capital punishment with the help of several 

petitions from high-ranking naval officers and consideration 

of exemplary service to the navy. 

At the age of 50, Flinn arrived at Port Arthur aboard the Lord 

Lyndoch on the 5th February in 1841. The ship's Surgeon 

reported Flinn’s conduct during the voyage as ‘most 

excellent’, endorsing him to the guards and progressing 

his chances of a conditional pardon. Flinn's naval history 

provided additional buffering from the harsher elements of 

convict life. In 1843, the Lieutenant-Governor assigned Flinn 

the coveted position of Javelin man in Hobart Gaol. Javelin 

men guarded the prisons around the colony equipped with 

long poles topped with an axe blade or spike. He had a few 

stints of hard labour and solitary confinement after drunken 

disorderly behaviour however kept a relatively clean record 

otherwise. He assisted with two instances of fires breaking 

out in the town and received a redeeming review in The 

Hobart Town Advertiser and The Cornwall Chronicles. Flinn 

was thus awarded a Ticket-to-leave in 1845 for meritorious 

conduct. Two of Flinn's sons relocated to Australia from 

Britain circa 1851 to join him. He eventually received a full 

pardon on the 26th of March 1861. Four years later Flinn 

died at age 78 in Melbourne. 

This rare portrait of John Turner Flinn presents a unique 

opportunity for a collector to preserve an intriguing piece 

of Australian convict history. This painting has survived in 

the spirit of the sitter, a little weathered but still deserving of 

restoration to its former splendor.

“Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation 

originally conceived and executed with fraudulent 

intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, 

period, culture, provenance or source where the

Lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of 

any damage or restoration work of any kind (including 

re-painting). 

“Hammer Price” means the amount of the highest 

Bid accepted by the Auctioneer in relation to a Lot.

in its absolute discretion from time to time shall 

consider the value for which a Lot should be covered

2. Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers 

as Agent 

Except as otherwise stated Gibson's acts as agent 

for the Seller. 

The contract for the Sale of the property is therefore 

made between the Seller and the Buyer. 

3. Before the Sale 

A) EXAMINATION OF PROPERTY 

Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine 

in person any property in which they are interested 

before the Auction takes place. Neither Gibson's 

nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to 

the nature of the property apart from the Limited 

Warranty in the paragraph below. The property is 

otherwise sold “as is”. 

B) CATALOGUE AND OTHER DESCRIPTIONS 

All statements by Gibson's in the catalogue entry for 

the property or in the condition report, or made orally 

or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion 

and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. 

Such statements do not constitute a representation, 

warranty or assumption of liability by Gibson's of 

any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the 

condition report, including damage or restoration 

are for guidance only and should be evaluated by 

personal inspection by the Bidder or a knowledgeable 

representative. The absence of such a reference 

does not imply that an item is free from defects or 

restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects 

imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the 

selling price should not be relied on as a statement 

that this is the price at which the item will sell or its 

value for any other purpose. Neither Gibson's nor the 

Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the 

catalogue or any supplemental material. 

Images are measured height by width. Illustrations 

are provided only as a guide and should not be relied 

upon as a true representation of colour or condition. 

Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention 

is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as 

supplementary images on the website) which do 

not form part of the Lot as described in the printed 

catalogue. 

All transactions are in Australian Dollars so there 

may be a small exchange rate risk, for international 

Buyers. The costs associated with acquiring a goods 

certificate will be borne by the Buyer. If the item 

turns out to be a Forgery or otherwise incorrectly 

described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the 

Seller. 

C) BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY 

All property is sold “as is” without representation or 

warranty of any kind by Gibson's or the Seller. Buyers 

are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning 

the condition of the property and the matters referred 

to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report. 

4. At the Sale 

A) REFUSAL OF ADMISSION 

Gibson's reserves the right at our complete discretion 

to refuse admission to the Auction premises or 

participation in any Auction and to reject any Bid. 

B) REGISTRATION BEFORE BIDDING 

Any new Prospective Buyer must complete and 

sign a registration form and provide photographic 

identification before Bidding. Gibson's may 

request bank, trade or other financial references to 

substantiate this registration. 

C) BIDDING AS A PRINCIPAL 

When making a Bid, a Bidder is accepting personal 

liability to pay the purchase price including the 

Buyer's Premium and all applicable taxes, plus 

all other applicable charges, unless it has been 

explicitly agreed in writing with Gibson's before 

the commencement of the Sale that the Bidder is 

acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party 

acceptable to Gibson's and that Gibson's will only 

look to the principal for payment. 

D) INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATIONS 

All international clients not known to Gibson's will 

be required to scan or fax through an accredited 

form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our 

discretion in cleared funds into Gibson's account 

at least 48 hours before the commencement of 

the Auction. Bids will not be accepted without 

this deposit. Gibson's also reserves the right to 

request any additional forms of identification prior 

to registering an overseas Bid. This deposit can be 

made using a credit card, however the balance of 

any purchase price in excess of $5,000 cannot be 

charged to this card without prior arrangement. This 

deposit is redeemable against any Auction purchase. 

E) ABSENTEE BIDS 

Gibson's will use reasonable efforts to execute written 

Bids delivered to us at least 24 hours prior to the 

Sale for the convenience of those clients who are 

unable to attend the Auction in person. If Gibson's 

receives identical written Bids on a particular Lot, and 

at the Auction these are the highest Bids on that Lot, 

then the Lot will be sold to the person whose written 

Bid was received and accepted first. Execution of 

written Bids is a free service undertaken subject to 

other commitments at the time of the Sale and we 

do not accept liability for failing to execute a written 

Bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is 

the Bidder’s responsibility to check with Gibson's 

after the Auction if they were successful. Unlimited 

or “Buy” Bids will not be accepted. Please refer to our 

indicative Bidding increments below for appropriate 

absentee Bid amounts (Section K). 

F) TELEPHONE BIDS 

Priority will be given to overseas and interstate 

Bidders. Arrangements for this service must be 

confirmed at least 24 hours prior to the Auction 

commencing. Gibson's accepts no responsibility 

whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute Bids. 

In telephone Bidding the Buyer agrees to be bound 

by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts 

that Gibson's cannot be held responsible for any 

miscommunications in the process. The success 

of telephone Bidding cannot be guaranteed due to 

circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should 

be aware of the risk and accept the consequences 

should contact be unsuccessful at the time of 

Auction. You must advise Gibson's of the Lots in 

question and recommend a ‘Cover Bid’ amount 

should there be any issues with technology or 

communication via the telephone number provided. 

Gibson's will advise Telephone Bidders who have 

registered at least 24 hours before the Auction of any 

relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals or any 

other Sale room notices. 

G) ONLINE BIDDING 

Gibson's accepts no responsibility for any 

errors, failure to execute Bids or any other 

miscommunications regarding this process. It is the 

online Bidder’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy 

of the relevant information regarding Bids, Lot 

numbers and contact details.

127 

H) RESERVES 

Unless otherwise indicated, all Lots are offered 

subject to a Reserve, which is the confidential 

minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold. 

The Reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed 

in the catalogue. The Auctioneer may open the 

Bidding on any Lot below the Reserve by placing 

a Bid on behalf of the Seller. The Auctioneer may 

continue to Bid on behalf of Seller up to the amount 

of the Reserve, either by placing consecutive Bids or 

by placing Bids in response to other Bidders. 

I) AUCTIONEER'S DISCRETION 

The Auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole 

discretion to refuse any Bid, to advance the Bidding 

in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or 

divide any Lot, to combine any two or more Lots and, 

in the case or error or dispute and whether during or 

after the Sale, to determine the successful Bidder, to 

continue the Bidding, to cancel the Sale or to re-offer 

and resell the item in dispute. In the event of a dispute, 

or the Auctioneer or the Company is of the opinion 

that there has been a misunderstanding or mistake 

regarding a Sale or a Lot the subject of a Sale, the 

Auctioneer may rescind the Sale and put any Lot 

up for a Second Auction. If a Sale is rescinded, the 

Company may put the Lot up at a second Auction, 

offer the Lot for sale by private treaty or withdraw the 

Lot from sale entirely. 

J) SUCCESSFUL BID AND PASSING OF RISK 

Subject to the Auctioneer’s discretion, on the 

acceptance of a Bid by the fall of the Auctioneer's 

hammer, a contract of sale is made between the 

Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the 

Lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes 

immediately to the Buyer. Gibson's shall not be liable 

for any breach of contract by either the Seller or 

the Buyer. 

K) INDICATIVE BIDDING STEPS, ETC.

withdraw any Lot from Sale, to place a Reserve on 

any Lot and to advance the Bidding according to

shipped at the Buyer’s expense. All packing, shipping, 

insurance, postage & associated charges will be 

borne by the purchaser. Gibson's can assist with 

removal companies that the Buyer can use but takes 

no responsibility whatsoever for the actions of any 

recommended third party. 

F) CULTURAL HERITAGE EXPORT LICENCES 

Unless otherwise agreed by Gibson's in writing, the 

fact that the Buyer wishes to apply for an export 

licence does not affect their obligation to make full 

payment immediately, nor Gibson's right to charge 

interest or storage charges on late payment. It is 

the responsibility of the Buyer to check Australia’s 

Protection of Moveable Cultural Heritage Act 1986 

prior to purchase. Export/import licences applications 

are the responsibility of the Buyer and/or the Buyer's 

nominated shipper. Gibson's shall not be obliged to 

rescind a Sale nor to refund any expenses incurred by 

the Buyer in circumstances where an export licence 

is not granted. 

G) REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT 

If the Buyer fails to make full payment immediately, 

Gibson's is entitled to exercise one or more of the 

following rights or remedies (in addition to asserting 

any other rights or remedies available under the law) 

i) to charge interest at the ANZ visa credit card 

rate as published weekly in the Australian 

Financial Review; 

ii) 

iii) 

iv) 

to hold the defaulting Buyer liable for the 

total amount due and to commence legal 

proceedings for its recovery along with interest, 

legal fees and costs to the fullest extent 

permitted under applicable law; 

to cancel the Sale; 

to resell the property publicly or privately on 

such terms as the Company sees fit; 

v) to pay the Seller an amount up to the net 

proceeds payable in respect of the amount Bid 

by the defaulting Buyer. In these circumstances 

the defaulting Buyer can have no claim upon 

Gibson's in the event that the Lot(s) are sold for 

an amount greater than the original invoiced 

amount; 

vi) 

to offset against any amounts which Gibson's 

may owe the Buyer across any other 

transactions; 

viii) to reject at any future Auction any Bids made by 

or on behalf of the Buyer or to obtain a deposit 

from the Buyer prior to accepting any Bids; 

ix) 

to exercise all the rights and remedies of a 

person holding security over any property in 

our possession owned by the Buyer whether by 

way of pledge, security interest or in any other 

way, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of 

the place where such property is located. The 

Buyer will be deemed to have been granted such 

security to us and we may retain such property 

as collateral security for such Buyer’s obligations 

to the Company; 

x) to take such other action as the Company 

deems necessary or appropriate. 

H) FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES 

Where purchases are not collected within three (3) 

days from the Sale date, whether or not payment has 

been made, the Company shall be permitted to: 

i) remove, store and further insure the Lot at the 

expense of the Buyer, releasing only after full 

payment has been received from the Buyer for 

incurred costs; 

ii) 

iii) 

re-sell the Lot without Reserve by Auction, 

private treaty or any other means whereby the 

Buyer agrees not to challenge the resale price 

achieved. 

rescind the Sale of that Lot or any other Lot sold 

by the Seller to the Buyer at the same or any 

other Auction. 

If Gibson's do re-sell the property under clauses H 

and G, the defaulting Buyer agrees to be liable for 

all payments of any deficiency between the total 

amount originally due and the price obtained, as well 

as the legal as all costs, expenses, damages, legal 

fees, commissions and premiums of whatever kinds 

associated with both Sales or otherwise arising from 

the default. 

6. Extent of Gibson's Liability 

Gibson's agrees to refund the purchase price in the 

circumstances of the Limited Warranty set out in 

paragraph 7. Apart from that, neither the Seller nor 

the Company, nor any of the Company’s employees 

or agents are responsible for the correctness of 

any statement of whatever kind concerning any Lot, 

whether written or oral, nor for any other errors or 

omissions in description or for any faults or defects 

in any Lots. Except as stated in paragraph 7 below, 

neither the Seller, the Company, its officers, agents 

or employees give any representation warranty

128 

or guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in 

respect of any Lot with regard to merchantability, 

fitness for a particular purpose, description, size, 

quality, condition, attribution, authenticity, rarity, 

importance, medium, provenance, exhibition history, 

literature or historical relevance. Except as required 

by local law any warranty of any kind is excluded by 

this paragraph. 

7. Limited Warranty 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this 

paragraph, the warrants for the period of fourteen 

(14) days from the date of the Sale that any property 

described in this catalogue (noting such description 

may be amended by any Saleroom notice or 

announcement) which is stated without qualification 

to be the work of a named author or authorship is 

authentic and not a forgery. The term “Author” or 

“Authorship” refers to the creator of the property or 

to the period, culture, source, or origin as the case 

may be, with which the creation of such property is 

identified in the catalogue. 

The warranty is subject to the following: 

i) it does not apply where a) the catalogue 

description or Saleroom notice corresponded 

to the generally accepted opinion of scholars 

and experts at the date of the Sale or fairly 

indicated that there was a conflict of opinions, 

or b) correct identification of a Lot can be 

demonstrated only by means of a scientific 

process not generally accepted for use until 

after publication of the catalogue or a process 

which at the date of the publication of the 

catalogue was unreasonably expensive or 

impractical or likely to have caused damage to 

the property. 

ii) 

iii) 

iv) 

the benefits of the warranty are not assignable 

and shall apply only to the original Buyer of the 

Lot as shown on the invoice originally issued by 

Gibson's when the Lot was sold at Auction. 

the original Buyer must have remained the owner 

of the Lot without disposing of any interest in it 

to any third party 

The Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy against 

the Seller in place of any other remedy which 

might be available, is the cancellation of the 

Sale and the refund of the original purchase 

price paid for the Lot less the Buyer's Premium 

which is non-refundable. Neither the Seller nor 

Gibson's will be liable for any special, incidental 

nor consequential damages including, without 

limitation, loss of profits not for interest. 

v) The Buyer must give written notice of claim 

to us within fourteen (14) days of the date of 

the Auction. The Seller shall have the right, to 

require the Buyer to obtain two written opinions 

by recognised experts in the field, mutually 

acceptable to the Buyer and Gibson's to decide 

whether to cancel the Sale under warranty. 

vi) 

the Buyer must return the Lot to Seller in the 

same condition that it was purchased. 

8. Severability 

If any part of these Conditions of Sale is found by any 

court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part 

shall be discounted and the rest of the Conditions 

shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent 

permitted by law. 

9. Copyright 

The copyright of all images, illustrations and written 

material produced by Gibson's relating to a Lot 

including the contents of this catalogue, is and shall 

remain the property at all times of Gibson's and 

shall not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else 

without our prior written consent. Gibson's and the 

Seller make no representation or warranty that the 

Buyer of a property will acquire any copyright or other 

reproduction rights in it. 

10. Law and Jurisdiction 

These terms and conditions and any matters 

concerned with the foregoing fall within the exclusive 

jurisdiction of the courts of the state in which the 

Auction is held. 

11. Pre-Sale Estimates 

Gibson's publishes with each catalogue our opinion 

as to the estimated price range for each Lot. These 

estimates are approximate prices only and are not 

intended to be definitive. They are prepared well in 

advance of the Sale and may be subject to revision. 

Interested parties should contact Gibson's prior to 

Auction for updated pre-Sale estimates and starting 

prices. 

12. Sale results 

After the Sale, Gibson's may publish (both verbally 

and in writing) the results of Sale at our discretion, 

including the prices achieved for specific Lots. 

Unless otherwise discussed with the Buyer, details of 

individual Buyers will remain confidential. 

13. Goods and Service Tax 

In accordance with A New Tax System (Goods and 

Services Tax) Act 1999, Gibson's Auctions will collect 

on behalf of the Australian Tax Office (ATO) a Goods 

and Service Tax (GST) of 10% on all applicable 

transactions. 

GST is applicable on the Hammer Price in the case 

where the Seller is selling property that is owned by 

an entity registered for GST. GST is also applicable 

on the Hammer Price in the case where the Seller is 

not an Australian resident. These Lots are denoted by 

a dagger symbol (†) placed next to the estimate. 

GST is also applicable on the Buyer's Premium. 

Overseas Buyers and non-resident Buyers in Australia 

will not be charged GST on both Hammer Price and 

Premiums under the following conditions: 

1. The items are exported through a Gibson's 

approved freight company including Australia 

Post 

2. The items are exported within 60 days of the 

date of the Sale 

The invoice supplied by Gibson's for purchases will be 

regarded as a Tax invoice for GST purposes. 

14. Resale Royalty Scheme 

Under the legal obligations of the Resale Royalty 

Scheme for Visual Artists Act 2009, Sellers must 

provide the following information to comply with 

the act: 

• was the artwork acquired after 8 June 2010? 

• is the Sale/Reserve price (including GST) $1,000 

or more? 

• is the artist from Australia or a country listed in 

the Regulations to the Act? 

• is the artist alive, or deceased less than 70 years? 

The Seller: 

i) acknowledges that he or she understands his or 

her legal obligations under the Resale Royalty for 

Visual Artists Act 2009 (the Act); 

ii) 

iii) 

iv) 

undertakes to comply with all requirements of 

the Act, including by providing its agent, the 

company, with accurate information sufficient for 

compliance with sections 28 and 29 of the Act; 

undertakes to indemnify the Company for any 

loss incurred by the Company as a result of 

the Vendor’s failure to comply with any of the 

Vendor’s legal obligations under the Act; and 

acknowledges that if he or she fails to comply 

with any of his or her legal obligations under 

the Act, the company may provide the vendor’s 

name and contact details to Copyright Agency 

Limited (CAL). 

Lots subject to payment of the Resale Royalty 

Scheme will be denoted by the symbol §. The 

Australian Resale Royalty is a flat rate of 5% on the 

Hammer Price (including GST). The Australian Resale 

Royalty is payable by the Seller in addition to the 

Buyer's Premium plus any applicable GST. 

15. Jewels & Watches 

GEMSTONES 

Gemstones have historically been subjected to a 

variety of treatments to enhance their appearance. 

Sapphire 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 or dyeing, 

irradiation, filling or coating may have been used 

on other precious and semi-precious gemstones 

and organic material. These treatments may be 

permanent, whilst others may need special care to 

reserve their appearance. Buyers should assume that 

each Lot has been subject to some form of treatment 

and that the estimates reflect this. 

A number of laboratories issue certificates that give 

detailed descriptions of gemstones, and in the event 

that Gibson's has been supplied with or obtained 

certificates for any Lot, this shall be noted in the 

catalogue. However, as there may not be consensus 

between different laboratories on the degree, or 

types of treatment of the gemstones, Gibson's 

supplies these without warranty. 

Buyers should assume that all gemstones sold 

by Gibson's may have been subjected to such 

treatments, and that the catalogue estimates reflect 

this. 

PEARLS 

Pearls, like gemstones, are also subject to various 

treatments. Buyers should assume that any pearls 

sold by Gibson's may have been subjected to such 

treatments, and that the catalogue estimates reflect 

this. 

WATCHES 

Please note: All watches sold by Gibson's are sold on 

an “as is” basis. Gibson's makes no representation 

or warranty that any watch is in working order. Many 

watches have been repaired over their lifetime and 

may contain non-original parts. The absence of any 

reference to the condition of a watch does not imply 

that the Lot is in good condition and without defects, 

repairs or restorations. Buyers should be aware that 

a general service, change of battery or further repair 

work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible for, 

may be necessary. 

ESTIMATED WEIGHTS 

If a stone has a known weight, it has been weighed 

out of the mount. If a stone has an estimated weight, 

it is an approximate weight only and has been 

measured by us in the mount and is a statement of 

opinion only. The information is given as a guide only 

and Buyers should satisfy themselves with regard to 

this information as to its accuracy.
