Printed Catalogue and Condition Reports
All lots carry a description and pre-sale estimate of price. Estimates suggest the price that the lot may reach. Vendor's (or Seller's) reserves may be set, they are confidential. Estimates do not carry buyer's premium. Lots may carry abbreviations such as a/f (as found - considerable damage). We make every effort to note damage and restoration however the absence of such a note does not imply that the lot is without defect. All clients should satisfy themselves of both condition and descriptions. Any measurements and weights may be approximate.
Any changes to the catalogue after production will be displayed in the Saleroom in a Saleroom notice and will be announced prior to the lot being sold.
Requests for condition reports are accepted by telephone or e-mail and must be received at the latest 24 hours before the sale otherwise we cannot guarantee we will be able to respond in time. All lots are illustrated where possible for our specialist sales on-line at www.boldonauctions.co.uk.
