DESCRIPTIONS Items are described to the best of our knowledge and ability. However, descriptions are not intended to be definitive and should be thought of as opinions on the genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property. No statement made in item leads, descriptions, estimate or during the sale should be considered an assumption of liability or warranty. Lots or items that we deem to be questionable in nature will be described as ?unauthenticated?. Usage of this term does not imply anything other than our opinion. Artworks described as a work by a specific artist fall into our highest tier of authenticity however, no qualified statement about the authorship is strictly implied. Artworks described as ?attributed to...? are most likely, in our opinion, a work by the artist but there is less certainty expressed than in the terminology described above. Artworks whose authorship are described as ?follower of...? an artist are thought to be in the artist?s style and contemporary or nearly contemporary to the artist. Artworks described to have been done ?in the manner of...? describes works done in the style of the artist but at a date that is not contemporary to the artist in question. Works described to be ?after? a specific artist imply that the items are copies of known or unknown works by the artist in question. The term signed by and/or dated by the artist are believed to have been inscribed by the artist?s hand. The term bears signature implies that the signature may have been added by someone other than the artist. Gems and Coins are tested at the gallery for authenticity and are guaranteed to be authentic. Wine is not guaranteed to be drinkable and cannot be returned. Autographs and autographed items are believed to be authentic, unless otherwise state. Lots containing more than one item are intended as ?dealer?s lots? and are sold as is, where is, and the ultimate determination is the responsibility of the bidder. CONDITION, MEASUREMENTS AND ESTIMATES are given as a courtesy to a client, and is only an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact.

Bidders are encouraged to view the item in person or request additional photos or measurements prior to bidding. All graded and/or measured and mounted gemstones are examined in mounts. Due to this, slight variations in the grading and weighing or sizing of the stones may occur due to mounted gemstones being graded only to the extent of which mounting will permit examination.
