• The highest and last bidder will be the purchaser.

Before the Sale
Condition of the work presented
• The works are sold as is, without warranty or commitment as to its condition from Christophe JORON-DEREM auctionhouse or the sellers.
• Description of lots leading to catalogues, reports, labels and verbal indications or announcements are only the evaluation of Joron-Derem’s perception of lots and will in no way constitute proof of the fact.
• Condition notes in the catalogue or in a condition report are not exhaustive.
• Complimentary condition reports may be provided on request, for information purposes only. This statement has been drafted in good faith, but we would like to remind you that we are not professional restorers and that this statement, written in accordance with the terms and conditions of sale printed in our sales catalogs, does not replace or modify the description provided in the catalog. In no way does this service engage the liability of our auction house.
Colours may differ between screen/paper and physical inspection.
The size and weight are only given as an indication. Repairs carried out for general upkeep are not indicated. No claim is accepted concerning the condition of the item under its gilt, paint, lacquer or varnish. Relining, inlay work and varnishing are considered a means of conservation.
The same applies to keys, locks, bronze and iron works that may have been replaced at some undetermined period and are not guaranteed.
The indications given by Christophe JORON-DEREM auctionhouse about the existence of reparation work, of an accident or incident affecting the lot are to facilitate the inspection by the potential buyer but the buyer’s appreciation of the lot remains his own or that of his specialist. Absence of any indication of the existence of reparation work, of an accident or incident affecting the lot in the catalogue, the reports, on labels or indicated verbally, does not exempt that lot from having a current, past or repaired defect. Equally, the mention of one defect does not eliminate the existence of other possible defects.
Pre-sale exhibition
• Prior to bidding, the bidder shall have examined the work personally or through a qualified representative. Advice from a restorer and/or professional is recommended.
• The exhibition is free of charge and open to all.
An exhibition prior to the sale permits buyers to establish the condition of the items for sale and thus, no claims will be accepted after the hammer has fallen.
• Experts and the Christophe JORON-DEREM auctionhouse team are available to answer questions during the exhibition or by appointment.
• By appointment with our experts, some works may be presented to bidders prior to the official exhibition dates at Drouot, if conditions permit.

• Provided upon request, estimates are based on the condition, rarity, quality, provenance, and recent results for comparable works.
• Estimates may vary and are neither a forecast nor a guarantee of the final price or value.
• Estimates are given exclusive of fees and taxes.
