Under UK Law, a licence may also be required for intra-eu trade. Licenses are issued by Arts Council England and it is the Buyer s duty to obtain them. Some countries restrict the import of specific cultural goods.

Warranties Chiswick Auctions Ltd does not provide the Buyer with warranties relating to any Lot, unless required by Law. Authenticity warranty In the event of a Lot being sold as authentic under the catalogue description and the Buyer provides evidence that the said Lot is not, Chiswick Auctions Ltd will refund the purchase price.

ANTIQUITIES AND TRIBAL ART Import and export restrictions and regulations Archaeological goods over 100 years of age, unless covered by exemption of limited scientific interest, will require an EU Licence for export to a third country, regardless of their value. It is recommended that the Buyer contact the Export Licensing Unit at Arts Council England in order to be assured the goods are or not of limited archaeological or scientific interest. Archaeological goods found on United-Kingdom soil or in UK territorial waters over 50 years of age shall require a UK Licence regardless of their value and regardless of the export destination. Other archaeological objects regardless of their origin will require an Individual Licence or OGEL depending on their value. Both European-Union and UK Licences may be required simultaneously for some items. It is the Buyer s duty to undertake the necessary steps. Chiswick Auctions Ltd cannot be held responsible and the sale cannot be cancelled in the event of failure to obtain the relevant licences.

Treatments under the present section may be but not limited to: Heat treatment to enhance sapphires and rubies clarity and colour Oil and resin treatments for emeralds applied in different ways, to enhance clarity of the stone Staining Irradiation Coating Estimates provided by Chiswick Auctions Ltd are deemed to be based on the fact that the gemstone may have been subject to any type of treatment in the past.

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.
