MIRABAUD MERCIER is a company of voluntary auction sales regulated by the law of July 10th 2000. In such capacity it acts as the agent of the seller who contracts with the buyer. The relationships between MIRABAUD MERCIER and the buyer are subject to the present Sale Conditions which can be modified by saleroom notices or oral indications given at the time of the sale, which will be recorded in the official sale record. Purchased lots will have to be paid immediately after the sale.

Any buyer bidding online through DROUOTLIVE or any other platform hereby agrees that he/she is fully aware of the possible changes the auctioneer may have orally announced during the sale and consigned in the ‘Proces Verbal’; such buyer cannot oppose having turned off the sound of the computer or not heard such modification.

The sale will be conducted in Euros. Purchasers will pay in addition to the hammer price, a buyer’s premium of 24,5%+VAT i.e. 29,4%.

GOODS FOR AUCTIONS / GUARANTEES

The auctioneer is bound by the indications in the catalogue, modified only by announcements made at the time of the sale noted in the legal records thereof. The order of the catalog can be modified. An exhibition prior to the sale permits buyers to establish the conditions of the lots offered for sale and no claims will be accepted after the hammer has fallen. Some differences may appear between the original work and its illustration, there will be no claims in such matter. The measurements are given only as an indication. The statements about any restoration, misshape or harm arisen concerning the lot are only made to facilitate the inspection thereof by the prospective buyer and remain subject to his/her own or to his/her expert’s appreciation. The absence of statements relating to a restoration, mishap or harm, whether made in the catalogue, condition reports, on labels or orally, does not imply that the item is exempt from any current, past or repaired defect. The indication of any defect whatsoever does not imply the absence of any other defects, being specified that basic restorations and relining do not decrease the value of the good since they are considered as conservatory measures. Dimensions are given for guidance only. The state of the frames is not guaranteed. Any changes to the conditions of sale or to the descriptions in the catalogue shall be announced verbally during the sale, and appended to the official sale record (procès-verbal). An estimate in euros of the likely sale price is mentioned in the catalogue, or on a separate sheet, for each lot. This is provided for indication only. The hammer price may of course be above or below this estimate. Pursuant to legal rules, MIRABAUD MERCIER is liable for 5 years, starting from the date of the auction sale.

BIDS

The highest and final bidder is deemed to be the purchaser, and must provide his/her name and address. Payment must be made immediately after the sale. No lot will be transferred to the purchaser before it has been paid for in full. In the event of payment by cheque or bank transfer, property may be withheld until payment has been cleared. Any storage costs that may result are to be paid by the purchaser. In case of dispute after the word « adjugé » has been pronounced, i.e. if two or more bidders simultaneously make the same bid, either vocally or by sign, and claim title to the lot after the word « adjugé » has been pronounced, the said lot can be immediately reoffered for sale by the auctioneer, and all those present may take part in the bidding.
