GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SALE AT PUBLIC AUCTION

BARBAROSSA MAISON DE VENTES acts as an operator of voluntary sales of furniture by public auction governed by articles L 312-4 et seq. of the Commercial Code and the Ministerial Order of 21 February 2012 defining the ethical obligations of operators of voluntary sales.

BARBAROSSA MAISON DE VENTES is the seller's agent. The relationship between BARBAROSSA MAISON DE VENTES and the buyer is subject to the present general terms and conditions of purchase, which may be amended by written or oral notices before the sale and which will be mentioned in the sales report. Participation in the auction, by telephone or by internet, implies the unconditional acceptance of these conditions.

1. - Properties offered for sale

Potential buyers are invited to examine the items that may interest them prior to the auction, particularly during the exhibitions. BARBAROSSA Auction House is available to provide condition reports to potential buyers.

The information in the catalogue is established by the auction house and the expert who assists it and is subject to the notifications and rectifications announced at the time of the presentation of the lot and recorded in the sale report. The information concerning the property is based on the state of knowledge at the date of the sale. Information concerning the provenance and/or origin of the item is provided on the basis of the seller's indication and BARBAROSSA MAISON DE VENTES cannot be held responsible.

The colours of the works in the catalogue may differ due to the printing process.

The absence of any mention in the catalogue, reports, labels, or verbal announcements of a restoration, accident or incident does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or free of restoration, wear, cracks, lining or other imperfections. Furthermore, re-canvassing, parquetry or lining, or any other conservation measure, is not systematically reported.

The goods are sold in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and no claims will be accepted after the auction.

Estimates are provided by the Auction House and the Expert for information purposes only and do not confer any guarantee. They cannot be considered as implying the certainty that the property will be sold at the estimated price or even within the estimate range.

1. - Auctions

Potential buyers are invited to make themselves known to BARBAROSSA MAISON DE VENTES, before the sale, so that their personal data can be registered.

BARBAROSSA Auction House reserves the right to ask any potential buyer to provide proof of identity and bank details. All bidders are deemed to be acting on their own behalf unless they have previously declared their capacity as agent on behalf of a third party, accepted by BARBAROSSA Auction House.

The usual way to bid is to be present in the auction room. BARBAROSSA Auction House reserves the right to deny access to the auction room to any potential buyer for just cause.

If you are the successful bidder on one or more lots, you authorise BARBAROSSA Maison de ventes, in the event of late payment or cancellation of the sale, to cash the cheque submitted or to use your bank details to proceed with the payment, in part or in full, of your purchases, including the costs to be borne by the buyer, possibly increased by the delivery costs and late payment interest as specified below ("Default of payment").

The highest and last bidder will be declared the winner by the "blow of the hammer" followed by the verbal indication "adjudicated". As soon as the auction is pronounced, the sale is perfect and irrevocable and the lots are under the full responsibility of the successful bidder. In application of article L 121-21-8 of the French Commercial Code, the withdrawal period is not applicable to public auctions.

BARBAROSSA Auction House will be authorised to reproduce on the sale report and on the adjudication form the information provided by the successful bidder before the sale. Any false information will engage the responsibility of the successful bidder.

In the event of a double bid recognized by the auctioneer, the lot will be immediately put up for sale again, and any interested person may bid for the second auction.

In the event that a reserve price has been stipulated by the seller, BARBAROSSA Auction House reserves the right to bid on behalf of the seller until the reserve price is reached. The reserve price may not exceed the low estimate given in the catalogue or modified publicly before the sale.
