261. A fine Meissen octagonal plate from the Christie-Miller service, c.1740, thewell finely painted with a scene of figures standing at the quayside before an Italianpalace, a ship being loaded behind, the cavetto with four shaped panels of figures inlandscapes in purpurmalerei reserved on a gilt diaper band, the wide rim with similarscenes in polychrome enamels reserved in quatrefoil panels on a wide scrolling foliategilt and black border, blue crossed swords mark, 24cm. £15,000-20,000

The scenes depicted on this service are derived from etchings by Melchior Küsel afterJohann Wilhelm Baur. The figures on this plate bear close relation to those from TheView of the Palace at Muran of the Count Widman of Ständig (bottom left), while thestatues on top of the quayside buildings are more akin to those in another print ofVenetian palaces (bottom right); both prints dating from 1681.

Although it is still not known for whom this service was originally made, there has beensome suggestion that it was a gift from Augustus III to the French Court, based on thequality of the decoration executed by the factory's leading painters including ChristianFriedrich Herold and Georg Heintze, and lent weight by the marriage of the Dauphin toAugustus's daughter in 1747.

The service appears to have entered the Christie-Miller family in 1840 when SamuelChristy, an English businessman and politician, is said to have purchased some 72pieces from a member of the Orleans family. Samuel adopted the name Christie-Millerin 1862 following his inheritance of Britwell Library in Buckinghamshire from his distantrelative, William Henry Miller. On Samuel's death in 1889 the service passed toWakefield Christie-Miller, whose descendants lived for many years at Clarendon Parknear Salisbury. The service remained in the family until 1970 when it was sold atSotheby's in London. Until that time a plate from the same service, which remains in thecollection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, accession no. 1976-1855, and waspreviously in the Bernal Collection, had been the only other documented plate of this type.

4. The purchase price. The Buyer shall pay the hammer price together witha premium thereon of 22% on the first £500,000 and 12% thereafter +VAT at the appropriate rate.

5. VAT. (*) indicates that VAT at the current standard rate is payable by thepurchaser on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer’spremium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registeredfor VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers MarginScheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. The doublesymbol (**) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the EuropeanUnion and the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate ofVAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer’spremium). Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicatethat no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are soldusing the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VATincluded within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax.

6. We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on informationprovided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably intaking a general view about them we are normally unable to carry out adetailed or any examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in theway in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ampleopportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility forinspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Pleasenote carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained inthe Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, acceptany responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of anyage are not guaranteed to be in working order. However, in so far as we haveexamined the goods and make a representation about their condition, weshall be liable for any defect which that examination ought to have revealedto the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer hadthe buyer examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstances lotsmisdescribed because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned andrepayment made. There is a 3 week time limit. (The expression ‘deliberateforgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale).

7. Electrical goods. These are sold as ‘antiques’ only and if bought for usemust be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by aqualified electrician first.

8. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whetheran export licence is required for the goods to leave the U.K. and (b) whetherthere is any specific prohibition on importing the goods in question into thedestination country because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such asivory. Charges may be applicable for export licences. Ask us if you need help.

The denial of any permit or licence shall not justify cancellation or rescission ofthe sale contract or any delay in payment.

9. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register before the sale commencesand lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form.Some form of identification will be required if you are unknown to us.Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding.

10. Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneersindicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers’ premium. Theywill be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any)and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids theauctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance aboutour arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or fax.

11. Methods of Payment. As a general rule any cheques tendered will needto be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted. Please discusswith our Office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment areenvisaged (except cash).

12. Collection and storage. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state aboutcollection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collectedpromptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying storage charges.

TERMS OF CONSIGNMENT FOR SELLERS 1. Interpretation. In these Terms the words ‘you’, ‘yours’, etc. refer to theSeller and if the consignment of goods to us is made by an agent weassume that the Seller has authorised the consignment and that theconsignor has the Seller’s authority to contract. Similarly the words ‘we’,‘us’, etc. refer to the Auctioneers.

2. Commission is charged to sellers at the following rates: 15% + VAT oneach lot sold for up to £999, 10% + VAT on each lot realising £1,000 andabove.

3. Removal costs. Items for sale must be consigned to the sale room by anystated deadline and at your expense. We may be able to assist you withthis process but any liability incurred to a carrier for haulage charges issolely your responsibility.

4. Loss and damage waiver. We are not regulated by the FSA for theprovision of insurance to clients. However, we for our own protectionassume liability for property consigned to us at lower pre-sale estimate.To justify accepting liability, we make a charge of 1.5% of the hammerprice plus VAT or, if unsold, our mid estimate of the hammer price. If theowner of goods consigned instructs us in writing not to take such action,they then remain at owner’s risk unless and until the property in thempasses to the Buyer or they are collected by or on behalf of the owner,and clause 4 is inapplicable.

5. Illustrations. The cost of any illustrations is borne by you. If we considerthat the lot should be illustrated your permission will usually be asked first.The copyright in respect of such illustrations shall be the property of us,the auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue.

6. Minimum bids and our discretion. Goods may be offered subject to areserve agreed between us before the sale in accordance with clause 7.

7. We may sell lots below the reserve provided we account to you for thesame sale proceeds as you would have received had the reserve been thehammer price. If you specifically give us ‘discretion’ we may accept a bidof up to 10% below the formal reserve. .

Reserves.

(a) You are entitled to place prior to the auction a reserve on any lotconsigned, being the minimum hammer price at which that lot may besold.

(b) A reserve once set cannot be changed except with our consent.

(c) Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf and onlyup to the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances bid personally.

Goods found to infringe safetyregulations will not be offered and must be removed at your expense. Wereserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense.The rights of disposal referred to in clause 8 and 9 are subject to theprovisions of The Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, Schedule 1, acopy of which is available for inspection on request.

10. Descriptions. Please assist us with accurate information as to theprovenance etc. of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liabilityfor the accuracy of descriptions under modern consumer legislation andin some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuraciesoccur. We will assume that you have approved the catalogue descriptionof your lots unless informed to the contrary. Where we are obliged toreturn the price to the buyer when the lot is a deliberate forgery underCondition 15 of the Conditions of Sale and we have accounted to youfor the proceeds of sale you agree to reimburse us the sale proceeds.The liability to reimburse the sale proceeds shall not arise where you areacting reasonably and honestly and are unaware of the forgery but weare or ought to have been aware of it.

Page 107: Woolley & Wallis

13. Conditions of Sale. You agree that all goods will be sold on our Conditionsof Sale. In particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goodseither as owner or agent for the owner. You undertake to compensate usand any buyer or third party for all losses liabilities and expenses incurredin respect of and as a result of any breach of this undertaking.

14. Authority to deduct commission and expenses and retain premium and interest.

15. Warehousing. We disclaim all liability for goods delivered to our saleroomwithout sufficient sale instructions and reserve the right to make minimumwarehousing charge of £2 per lot per day. Unsold lots are subject to thesame charges if you do not remove them within a reasonable time ofnotification. If not removed within three weeks we reserve the right to sellthem and defray charges from any net proceeds of sale or at your expenseto consign them to the local authority for disposal.
