REGULATED SPECIES MATERIALS AND CITES PERMITSThe export of a lot from the United States or import into certain countries may be subject to export or import regulations, licensure and/or other restrictions; in particular, lots containing plant or animal materials such as ivory, rhinoceros horn, tortoiseshell, coral, whalebone or certain types of woods, irrespective of age or value, may require the granting of one or more export or import licenses or certificates, or may be banned from import altogether by some countries. Moreover, the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not insure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country. Lots that contain such regulated species materials may also not be eligible for exportation or for re-importation into the United States if they are not at least 100 years of age, and, under current law, lots containing African Elephant Ivory may no longer be re-imported into the United States regardless of age. In addition, resales of lots containing certain regulated species materials may be subject to restrictions in some jurisdictions. Lots noted in the catalog with a Y next to the lot number contain one or more such regulated plant or animal materials. It is the buyer’s responsibility to investigate any such restrictions and to obtain any relevant export or import licenses. Please note that this process is governed by local authorities and may take considerable time. Regardless of any delay in the obtaining of an export or import license or certificate or denial of a license’s or certificate’s issuance, purchased lots shall be paid for in accordance with the Conditions of Sale, and any such delay or denial shall not serve as the basis for cancellation of any sale. Prospective buyers are advised to obtain information from the relevant regulatory authorities regarding export and import restrictions, requirements, and costs prior to bidding.

Prospective buyers should also check with their local (e.g. state) regulatory authorities regarding any local restrictions and/or permit requirements that may apply with respect to purchases of regulated species materials, including without limitation purchases of items containing elephant ivory or rhino horn. For example, we are advised that New York buyers of any lot containing elephant or mammoth ivory or rhino horn will be responsible for obtaining a New York State permit before taking possession of the lot within New York State, and that the State of New Jersey has banned the import of items containing elephant or marine mammal ivory or rhino horn into that state.

Upon request, Bonhams can refer the purchaser to a third party agent to assist the purchaser in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates. However, there is no assurance that any necessary licenses or certificates can be obtained. Please contact the Specialist Department for a suggested list of shipping agents prior to placing a bid if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to export/import license or certificate requirements or related restrictions.

Jay C. Leff (1925-2000)Polymath Jay C. Leff was a banker by profession (at age 29, he became the youngest bank president in the country), and a collector by passion.

He began collecting stamps, coins, and magic tricks as a boy, and progressed from there to chess sets, what were then called Oriental Decorative Arts, and books (at one time, he owned what was probably the finest collection of H. P. Lovecraft first editions and ephemera in existence). But, it was when he discovered so-called “primitive art” that he found his true calling.

The Leff Collection of Tribal and Ethnographic Art (although he preferred the term Exotic Art) was begun in the 1950s at a time when this field of art collecting was still nascent. Leff quickly determined that the Eurocentric esthetic was a great esthetic, but far from the only esthetic. To Leff, primitive peoples, tribal groups, and exotic cultures all expressed their own esthetic of value and produced both artistic masterpieces and master artists.

Esthetics were what drove Leff as he curated his world-renowned collection that ultimately numbered some 4,000 pieces. While his first love was Pre-Columbian art -- particularly Olmec, and his second was African, these were followed closely and increasingly by his affinity for Native American works. But the collection did not stop there and included important examples from Oceania, Eastern and Central Asia, and Ancient Europe, as well.

Leff was both a pioneer and a taste-maker in this now highly respected area of art and scholarship. His legacy lives on today in countless museums and private collections that are fortunate enough to claim ownership of beautiful and important objects that carry the Leff provenance.

Robert G. Boucher (1924-1996)Robert G. Boucher was born in Connecticut in 1924, and after serving in the US Army during the tail end of WWII, earned his bachelor’s degree in Economics from Middlebury College in Vermont. After graduation, Boucher visited Denver, Colorado, and immediately fell in love with the West.

Settling in Denver permanently, Boucher swiftly became taken with Western art as well as Native American art and objects, spurring on a deep dive into collecting which spanned 20 years of his lifetime. His appreciation for the art and objects themselves was bolstered by his love of the hunt (satisfied by numerous collecting trips across the Southwest throughout his lifetime), as well as his passion for meeting the artists who crafted the art and objects he purchased whenever possible.

The selection of textiles that are offered in this auction (lots 165-178) are only a small glimpse into Boucher’s years of careful acquisition, but illustrate his curatorial eye for fine Navajo weavings across a broad spectrum of styles and ages.

Arctic/Subarctic/Northwest Coast PROPERTY FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION

141 Y

AN EXCEPTIONAL OLD BERING SEA MATERNITY FIGUREThule Culture or earlier, very finely carved from walrus ivory to depict a female with child balanced on her shoulders, an infant resting across her belly, a deep honey-amber patina throughout. height 1 7/8in, width 5/8in

$10,000 - 15,000

Provenance James Economos, Santa Fe, NM Jay C. Leff, Uniontown, PA, acquired from the above in 1980 A Private Collection, acquired from the above A figural grouping very similar to the present lot can be seen in the collection of the Princeton University Art Museum (object number 1997-159), depicting a child seated on the shoulders of a masculine figure and with another child positioned in front: https://artmuseum.princeton.edu/collections/objects/37748

Identified as Thule and dated from between 1200 to 1850 C.E., it is said to have been excavated on St. Lawrence Island. See Fitzhugh, William W., Hollowell, Julie and Crowell, Aron L., editors, Gifts from the Ancestors: Ancient Ivories of the Bering Strait, 2009, Yale University Press, New Haven, CT, p.238, fig. 14, for the same family group, where it is observed: “It is extremely rare to see three people grouped in a single carving, much less such an obvious family group. Despite the Okvik-like rectangular torsos, these small pieces, made to stand alone, are probably Thule.” Also shown in: Maurer, Evan M., The Native American Heritage: A Survey of North American Indian Art, 1977, The Chicago Institute of Art, Chicago, IL, cat. no. 523. For another miniature depiction of a child on the shoulders of an adult, see Hopps, Walter and Mock, Jean-Yves, eds., La rime et la raison, les collections Ménil (Houston - New York), 1984, Editions de la Réunion des musées nationaux, Paris, p. 355, no. 291, “Personnage portant un enfant sur les épaules, Époque Eskimo archaïque, mer de Béring, Alaska.”

142 Y

AN ANCIENT ESKIMO OLD BERING SEA EFFIGY FIGUREOkvik period, of flattened form, the head finely carved with overhanging brows, long thin boldly-defined nose and finely incised eyes and mouth, tattoo marks across the cheeks, parallel lines at back evocative of hair, the torso roughly defined, the patina transitioning from darker mocha to lighter cream tones. length 2 1/8in, width 9/16in

$2,000 - 4,000

See Wardwell, Allen, Ancient Eskimo Ivories of the Bering Strait, 1986, Hudson Hills Press, New York, NY, p.36 for an overview of Old Bering Sea I or Okvik figures: “The significance of these carvings is not known for certain. If they were dolls, then it is likely that they were used as the historic Bering Sea Eskimo used them; that is, while ivory or wood dolls were made as toys for girls, they were also sometimes created to help a childless couple have children.”

AN OLD BERING SEA POLAR BEAR EFFIGYLikely Thule Culture, carved from walrus ivory, rendered in minimalist detail with tapering torso, elongated neck and head of the period, on block legs, pierced at the back for suspension. length 3 7/8in, height 1in

149A NUU-CHAH-NULTH BIRD RATTLEFashioned from two pieces of wood, carved to depict a short-beaked bird, possibly a grouse, the upper half with open arced wings and wedge tail suggestive of flight, painted details across the body and up to the openwork neck, the eyes set with brass tacks, with rounded underside, the two halves attached with hide lashings. length 14 1/2in

$15,000 - 20,000

Stylized globular bird-form rattles are amongst the earliest types of objects collected by European voyagers to the Pacific Northwest Coast in the latter part of the 18th century. See Brown, Steven C., editor, Spirits of the Water, 2000, University of Washington Press, Seattle, WA, p.66, fig 16 and p.86, fig.40 for several examples that are stylistic precursors to 19th century rattles such as the present lot.


150A RARE HAIDA ARGILLITE WHISTLE PIPECarved to depict a pipe-smoking Euro-American kneeling with outstretched arms, a large-winged bird with its beak against his back, a second bird head protruding from the front of the pipe bowl, with pewter cap mouthpiece at either end. length 10 1/2in

$4,000 - 6,000

Unlike similarly scarce argillite recorders or flutes, which lack the functional elements associated with smoking pipes, whistle-pipes were carved with a stem and pipe bowl separate from the whistle. See Drew, Leslie, and Wilson, Douglas, “Argillite: Art of the Haida”, 1980, Hancock House Publishers, Vancouver B.C, p.162, for two examples in the collection of the British Museum structurally similar to the present lot.

189A GREAT LAKES OR EASTERN PLAINS CALUMET PIPEThe catlinite bowl carved to depict the head of an apparently Euro-American man, his close-set eyes gazing down the polished shank towards the smoker, a bushy mustache delineated beneath the nose, the tightly-cropped hairstyle framed by the brim of a hat, both ears pierced and suspending trade earrings; the lengthy stem with finely plaited bands of quillwork wrapped about the tapered flat form, extending from the mouthpiece and terminating midway with a long tuft of partly-braided horsehair bound with sinew. bowl length 5in, stem length 42 1/8in

$40,000 - 60,000

See Torrence, Gaylord, editor, The Plains Indians: Artists of Earth and Sky, 2014, Skira Rizzoli, New York, NY, p.118: “Pipe bowls ornamented with images of human or animal figures have a long history in the Eastern Woodlands of North America, and this tradition extended into the Plains. The bowl carved in the shape of a human head, nearly always facing the smoker, first appeared on late prehistoric pipes of the Iroquoian peoples, subsequently spreading westward into the Great Lakes region and beyond. The religious symbolism of the ‘self-directed’ position of such carvings related to the spiritual communication of the smoker with his guardian spirit, cultivated in meditation while contemplating the representation of this spirit.”

Provenance The Pontalba Family Collection, Le château de Mont-l’Évêque, France A Private Collector, acquired from the above The Pontalba family name is closely associated with the history of Louisiana and New Orleans. Jean-Joseph Delfau de Pontalba (1708-1760) arrived in Louisiane, Nouvelle-France in 1732. Over the course of his military career he was stationed at Fort Rosalie in Natchez, served under Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville in the 1736 campaign against the Chickasaw, and was the commander at Point Coupee from 1744 to 1753. His son, Joseph-Xavier Delfau de Pontalba (1754-1834), fought alongside American colonial troops against the British Army during the Siege of Savannah in 1779. Returning to his native Louisiana, by then under Spanish dominion, he joined the Spanish army and found himself captain of the Louisiana regiment in 1790, and lieutenant-colonel the following year. In 1811 his son, Joseph-Xavier Célestin Delfau de Pontalba, wed Micaëlla Leonarda Antonia de Almonester Rojas y de la Ronde. Her mother, Louise Denys de la Ronde, was the daughter of Pierre Denys de la Ronde, a French-Canadian naval officer who had married into a New Orleans family. It may be that the present lot was an heirloom or memento passed down through the Québécois side of the family.

Provenance Paul Coze, Phoenix, AZ Maurice Dérumaux, Paris Paul Jean Coze-Dabija (1903-1974) was a French-American anthropologist, artist, and collector of Native American art. His early years were spent in Beirut and later Paris, where as a teenager he was a cofounder of Scouts de France, the first French Scout program. As evidence of his life-long fascination with the American West and its native peoples he co-authored in 1928 Moeurs et histoire des Peaux-Rouges (Customs and History of the Redskins). Many pieces from his collection were acquired by the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton, Canada. Others found their way into the hands of collectors like Dérumaux both in the United States and back in France.

During this trip, Dr. Losee made a number of stops including to Kansas, Nebraska and two trips to view portions of Yellowstone Park (founded only 18 years earlier in 1872) including Pompeys Pillar monument outside of Billings, Montana as well as a stop in Gardiner, Montana, which served as the primary entrance to the park.

For a discussion of Cheyenne parfleche and a related example, cf. Torrence, 1994, The American Indian Parfleche, p. 110, no. 24: “The exceptional quality of Cheyenne artistic traditions is widely recognized and is clearly visible in the technical excellence and unsurpassed elegance of their parfleches. Among the Cheyenne, artistic expression was a manifestation of religious belief, and the creation of various art forms was directed and strictly maintained by guilds comprised of elected women recognized for their skill, character, and spiritual knowledge...The distinctive character of Cheyenne parfleches emerges from the power of the drawing. The images possess a sense of tension and a precise linear structure deriving from the artists’ emphasis on fine, brown-black outlining, which the primary activating elements of the paintings. The effect of line is frequently enhanced by the placement of small black units throughout the design; these units...establish shifting focal points and rhythmic directional movements. They also dramatically extend the complexity and scale of elements comprising the image. These units are integrated within the order of larger colored forms through the linear framework established by the outlining, which also separates painted and unpainted areas and borders all colored shapes.”

In order to bid at the sale, prospective bidders must submit to Bonhams a completed bidder registration form (appearing at the end of this catalog) and any other requested information or references. New bidders and bidders who have not recently updated their registration information must pre-register to bid at least two business days before the sale. Individuals will be required to provide government-issued proof of identity and proof of address. Entity clients will be required to provide documentation including confirmation of entity registration showing the registered name, confirmation of registered address, documentary proof of officers and beneficial owners, proof of authority to transact on behalf of the entity and government-issued proof of identity for the individual who is transacting on the entity’s behalf.

We may also request a financial reference and /or deposit from bidders before approving the bidder registration. In the event a deposit is submitted and you are not the successful bidder, your deposit will be returned to you. If you are the successful bidder, any such deposit will be credited to offset the appropriate portion of the purchase price.

We reserve the right to request further information, including regarding the source of funds, in order to complete bidder identification and registration procedures (including completing any anti-money laundering and/or anti-terrorism financing checks we may require) to our satisfaction. If our bidder identification and registration procedures are not satisfied, we may, in our sole discretion, decline to register any bidder or reject any bid or cancel any sale to such bidder.

Every bidder shall be deemed to act as a principal unless prior to the commencement of the sale there is a written acceptance by Bonhams of a bidder registration form completed and signed by the principal which clearly states that the authorized bidding agent is acting on behalf of the named principal. Absent such written acceptance by Bonhams, any person placing a bid as agent on behalf of another (whether or not such person has disclosed that fact or the identity of the principal) may be jointly and severally

liable with the principal under any contract resulting from the acceptance of a bid. Every bidder shall be responsible for any use of its assigned paddle or bidding account, regardless of the circumstances.

No lot may be transferred.

Unless otherwise agreed, payment in good, cleared funds is due and payable within five (5) business days following the auction sale. Whenever the buyer pays only a part of the total purchase price for one or more lots purchased, we may apply such payments, in our sole discretion, to the lot or lots we choose. Payment will not be deemed made in full until we have received good, cleared funds for all amounts due. Title in any purchased property will not pass until full and final payment has been received by Bonhams. Accounts must be settled in full before property is released to the buyer. In the event property is released earlier, such release will not affect the passing of title or the buyer’s obligation to timely remit full payment.

We reserve the right to refuse to accept payment from a source other than the registered bidder or buyer of record. Once an invoice is issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice.

Payment for purchases must be made in the currency in which the sale is conducted. Bonhams’ preferred payment method is by wire transfer.

A processing fee will be assessed on any returned checks. (iii) Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover debit

or credit card issued in the name of the purchaser or record. Only one debit or credit card may be used for payment of an account balance. This method of payment may not be available to first time purchasers.

We also retain all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (which shall mean the New York Uniform Commercial Code, except where the Uniform Commercial Code of another state governs the perfection of a security interest in collateral located in that state), and you agree that we may file financing statements without your signature. If the foregoing conditions or any other applicable conditions herein are not complied with, in addition to all other remedies available to us and the consignor by law, we may at our election: (a) hold the buyer liable for the full purchase price and any late charges, collection costs, attorneys’ fees and costs, expenses and incidental damages incurred by us or the consignor arising out of the buyer’s breach; (b) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the buyer; and/or (c) cancel the sale and/or resell the purchased property, at public auction and/or by private sale, and in such event the buyer shall be liable for the payment of all consequential damages, including any deficiencies or monetary losses, and all costs and expenses of such sale or sales, our commissions at our standard rates, all other charges due hereunder, all late charges, collection costs, attorneys’ fees and costs, expenses and incidental damages. In addition, where two or more amounts are owed in respect of different transactions by the buyer to us, to Bonhams 1793 Limited and/or to any of our other affiliates, subsidiaries or parent companies worldwide within the Bonhams Group, we reserve the right to apply any monies paid in respect of a transaction to discharge any amount owed by the buyer. If all fees, commissions, premiums, bid prices and other sums due to us from the buyer are not paid promptly as provided in these Conditions of Sale, we reserve the right to impose a finance charge equal to 1.5% per month (or, if lower, the maximum nonusurious rate of interest permitted by applicable law), on all amounts due to us beginning on the 31st day following the sale until payment is received, in addition to other remedies available to us by law.

5. We reserve the right to withdraw any property and to divide and combine lots at any time before such property’s auction. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalog and no lots shall be divided or combined for sale.

6. We reserve the right to reject a bid from any bidder, to split any bidding increment, and to advance the bidding in any manner the auctioneer may decide. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event the auctioneer doubts the validity of any bid, the auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder, re-open the bidding, or to cancel the sale and re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sales records shall be conclusive in all respects.

We further reserve the right to cancel the sale of any property if (i) you are in breach of your representations and warranties as set forth in paragraph 3 above; (ii) we, in our sole discretion, determine that such transaction might be unlawful or might subject Bonhams or the consignor to any liability to any third party; or (iii) there are any other grounds for cancellation under these Conditions of Sale.

7. If we are prevented by fire, theft or any other reason whatsoever from delivering any property to the buyer or a sale otherwise cannot be completed, our liability shall be limited to the sum actually paid therefor by the buyer and shall in no event include any compensatory, incidental or consequential damages.

SALES AND USE TAX

New York sales tax is charged on the hammer price, buyer’s premium and any other applicable charges on any property collected or delivered in New York State, regardless of the state or country in which the buyer resides or does business. Buyers who make direct arrangements for collection by a shipper who is considered a “private” or “contract” carrier by the New York Department of Taxation and Finance will be charged New York sales tax, regardless of the destination of the property. Property collected for delivery to a destination outside of New York by a shipper who is considered a “common carrier” by the New York Department of Taxation and Finance (e.g. United States Postal Service, United Parcel Service, and FedEx) is not subject to New York sales tax, but if it is delivered into any state in which Bonhams is registered or otherwise conducts business sufficient to establish a nexus, Bonhams may be required by law to collect and remit the appropriate sales tax in effect in such state. Property collected for delivery outside of the United States by a freight-forwarder who is registered with the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) is not subject to New York sales tax.

The mediator shall be a retired judge or an attorney familiar with commercial law and trained in or qualified by experience in handling mediations. Any communications made during the mediation process shall not be admissible in any subsequent mediation, arbitration or judicial proceeding.

Such arbitrator shall make all appropriate disclosures required by law. The arbitrator shall be drawn from a panel of a national or international arbitration service agreed to by the parties,

and shall be selected as follows: (i) If the arbitration service has specific rules or procedures, those rules or procedures shall be followed; (ii) If the arbitration service does not have rules or procedures for the selection of an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be an individual jointly agreed to by the parties.

(“JAMS”) or another national or international alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) provider of Bonhams’ choice, and the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or the rules of the other ADR provider selected by Bonhams.

LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION

If within one (1) year from the date of sale, the original buyer (a) gives written notice to us alleging that the identification of Authorship (as defined below) of such lot as set forth in the UPPERCASE TYPE heading of the catalog description of such lot (as amended by any saleroom notices or verbal announcements during the sale) is not substantially correct based on a fair reading of the catalog (including the terms of any glossary contained therein), and (b) within 10 days after such notice returns the lot to us in the same condition as at the time of sale, and (c) establishes the allegation in the notice to our satisfaction (including by providing one or more written opinions by recognized experts in the field, as we may reasonably require), then the sale of such lot will be rescinded and, unless we have already paid to the consignor monies owed him in connection with the sale, the original purchase price will be refunded.

PROFESSIONAL APPRAISAL SERVICES

Bonhams’ specialists conduct insurance and fair market value appraisals for private collectors, corporations, museums, fiduciaries and government entities on a daily basis.

When we conduct a private appraisal, our specialists will prepare a thorough inventory listing of all your appraised property by category. Valuations, complete descriptions and locations of items are included in the documentation.

Appraisal fees vary according to the nature of the collection, the amount of work involved, the travel distance, and whether the property is subsequently consigned for auction.

Our appraisers are available to help you anywhere and at any time. Please call our Client Services Department to schedule an appraisal.

the consignor and assign to the original buyer our rights against the consignor with respect to the lot the sale of which is sought to be rescinded. Upon such disclosure and assignment, any liability of Bonhams as consignor’s agent with respect to said lot shall automatically terminate.

The foregoing limited right of rescission is available to the original buyer only and may not be assigned to or relied upon by any subsequent transferee of the property sold. The buyer hereby accepts the benefit of the consignor’s warranty of title and other representations and warranties made by the consignor for the buyer’s benefit. Nothing in this section shall be construed as an admission by us of any representation of fact, express or implied, obligation or responsibility with respect to any lot. THE BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BONHAMS FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER IS THE LIMITED RIGHT OF RESCISSION DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION.

“Authorship” means only the identity of the creator, the period, culture and source or origin of the lot, as the case may be, as set forth in the UPPERCASE TYPE heading of the print catalog entry. The right of rescission does not extend to: (a) works of art executed before 1870 (unless these works are determined to be counterfeits created since 1870), as this is a matter of current scholarly opinion which can change; (b) titles, descriptions, or other identification of offered lots, which information normally appears in lower case type below the UPPERCASE TYPE heading identifying the Authorship; (c) Authorship of any lot where it was specifically mentioned that there exists a conflict of specialist or scholarly opinion regarding the Authorship of the lot at the time of sale; (d) Authorship of any lot which as of the date of sale was in accordance with the then generally-accepted opinion of scholars and specialists regarding the same; or (e) the identification of periods or dates of creation in catalog descriptions which may be proven inaccurate by means of scientific processes that are not generally accepted for use until after publication of the catalog in which the property is offered or that were unreasonably expensive or impractical to use at the time of such publication.

Buyer’s guideBUYING AND BIDDING AT AUCTION

Whether you are an experienced bidder or an enthusiastic novice, auctions provide a stimulating atmosphere unlike any other. Bonhams previews and sales are free and open to the public. As you will find in these directions, bidding and buying at auction is easy and exciting. Should you have any further questions, please visit our website at www.bonhams.com or call our Client Services Department at +1 (212) 644 9001.

Catalogs Before each auction we publish illustrated catalogs. Our catalogs provide descriptions and estimated values for each “lot.” A lot may refer to a single item or to a group of items auctioned together. The catalogs also include the dates and the times for the previews and auctions. We offer our catalogs by subscription or by single copy. For information on subscribing to our catalogs, you may refer to the subscription form in this catalog, call our Client Services Department, or visit our website at www.bonhams.com/us.

Previews Auction previews are your chance to inspect each lot prior to the auction. We encourage you to look closely and examine each object on which you may want to bid so that you will know as much as possible about it. Except as expressly set forth in the Conditions of Sale, items are sold “as is” and with all faults; illustrations in our catalogs, website and other materials are provided for identification only. At the previews, our staff is always available to answer your questions and guide you through the auction process. Condition reports may be available upon request.

Estimates Bonhams catalogs include low and high value estimates for each lot, exclusive of the buyer’s premium and tax. The estimates are provided as an approximate guide to current market value based primarily on previous auction results for comparable pieces, and should not be interpreted as a representation or prediction of actual selling prices. They are determined well in advance of a sale and are subject to revision. Please contact us should you have any questions about value estimates.

Reserve All lots in a catalog are subject to a reserve unless otherwise indicated. The reserve is the minimum price that the seller is willing to accept for a lot. This amount is confidential and does not exceed the low estimated value.

Auction House’s Interest in Property Offered at Auction On occasion, Bonhams may offer property in which it has an ownership interest in whole or in part or otherwise has an economic interest. Such property, if any, is identified in the catalog with a symbol next to the lot number(s). Bonhams may also offer property for a consignor that has been guaranteed a minimum price for its property by Bonhams or jointly by Bonhams and a third party. Bonhams and any third parties providing a guarantee may benefit financially if the guaranteed property is sold successfully and may incur a financial loss if its sale is not successful. Such property, if any, is identified in the catalog with a symbol next to the lot number(s).

Bidding at Auction At Bonhams, you can bid in many ways: in person, via absentee bid, over the phone, or via Bonhams’ live online bidding facility. Absentee bids can be submitted in person, online, or via email. Irrespective of previous bidding activity a valid Bonhams client account is required to participate in bidding activity. You will be required to provide government-issued proof of identity and residence, and if you are a company, your certificate of incorporation or equivalent documentation with your name and registered address, government issued proof of your current address, documentary proof of your beneficial owners and directors, and proof of authority to transact. By bidding at auction, whether in person or by agent, by absentee bid, telephone, online or other means, the buyer or bidder agrees to be bound by the Conditions of Sale. Lots are auctioned in consecutive numerical order as they appear in the catalog. Bidding normally begins below the low estimate. The auctioneer will accept bids from interested parties present in the saleroom, from telephone bidders, and from absentee bidders who have left written bids in advance of the sale. The auctioneer may also execute bids on behalf of the consignor up to the amount of the reserve, but never above it. We assume no responsibility for failure to execute bids for any reason whatsoever.

In Person If you are planning to bid at auction for the first time, you will need to register at the reception desk in order to receive a numbered bid card. To place a bid, hold up your card so that the auctioneer can clearly see it. Decide on the maximum auction price that you wish to pay, exclusive of buyer’s premium and tax, and continue bidding until your bid prevails or you reach your limit. If you are the successful bidder on a lot, the auctioneer will acknowledge your paddle number and bid amount.

Absentee Bids As a service to those wishing to place bids, we may at our discretion accept bids without charge in advance of auction online or in writing on bidding forms available from us. “Buy” bids will not be accepted; all bids must state the highest bid price the bidder is willing to pay. Our auction staff will try to bid just as you would, with the goal of obtaining the item at the lowest bid price possible. In the event identical bids are submitted, the earliest bid submitted will take precedence. Absentee bids shall be executed in competition with other absentee bids, any applicable reserve, and bids from other auction participants. A friend or agent may place bids on your behalf, provided that we have received your written authorization prior to the sale. Absentee bid forms are available in our catalogs, online at www.bonhams.com/us, at offsite auction locations and at our Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York galleries.

By Telephone We can arrange for you to bid by telephone. To arrange for a telephone bid, please contact our Client Services Department a minimum of 24 hours prior to the sale.

Online We offer live online bidding for most auctions and accept absentee bids online for all our auctions. Please visit www.bonhams.com/us for details.
