€2,000 - 4,000
Mankind has been fascinated with the Serpent sinceAncient Egyptian times.This fascination is reflected
in its widespread use as a symbolic and decorative motif in valuable possessions, especially jewellery. Its
intriguing and enigmatic representation of both good and evil, fertility and rebirth, poison and medicine
has allowed the snake to remain one of the most prevalent mythological symbols to date. Historically, the
serpent has held different meanings in different parts of the world; representing royalty and deity in Egypt
- often featured in jewellery worn by the great Egyptian Pharaoh Cleopatra; sexual passion and desire in
Rabbinical tradition and Hinduism; and everlasting love in theAncient Roman civilisation. Furthermore
Greek, Nordic,African and NativeAmerican people have all honoured and immortalised the serpent in gold
and other precious metals.
In the early 19th Century in Britain, serpent jewellery was elevated to new heights when PrinceAlbert
presented QueenVictoria with the first ever engagement ring as a symbol of his eternal love.The Royal
engagement launched the popularity of the serpent as the dominant motif on rings, brooches and necklaces
in the 1840s.

Edmond Johnson was the leading goldsmith and silversmith in Dublin from the late 19th century and into the 20th century. He was based in
premises in the Grafton Street andWicklow Street areas.
In 1879, Edmond was commissioned to restore theArdagh Chalice. He was later given official permission to make replicas of the chalice
and other objects. Edmond’s replicas became so sought after that he received commissions from expositions in Chicago (1893), Paris (1900)
and Glasgow (1901). His own catalogue in that period lists “the principal museums ofAmerica, Great Britain and the Continent” among his
clients.The Celtic Revival in design reached its height in Britain and Ireland in the 1890s. Celtic ornamentation was widely reflected in the
work of goldsmiths and silversmiths and, most notably, by Edmond Johnson. Edmond exhibited his Celtic Revival work at the IrishArts &
Crafts Society’s first exhibition in Dublin in 1896. Modified Celtic designs from this period were seen in Scotland in the work of Charles
Rennie Mackintosh and in London with the Cymric range at the Liberty store.
In 1921, the GaelicAthleticAssociation commissioned Edmond Johnson to create a silver trophy cup to commemorate the memory of Liam
McCarthy, to be awarded annually to the winner of theAll-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship.The cup came to be known informally as
the Liam McCarthy Cup rather than its official name of the McCarthy Perpetual Challenge Cup.

discretion, require a buyer to pay a deposit of 25% of the Total Amount Due at the

from that buyer to the Auctioneer on any account whatever regardless of any direc-
tions of the buyer or his agent in that regard whether express or implied.

The buyer shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges in
respect of any Lot which is not taken away within seven (7) days after the date of the
auction.

time of collection or the expiry of one (1) day from the date of the auction. Neither the
Auctioneer nor its employees, servants or agents shall thereafter be liable for any loss
or damage of any kind howsoever caused while a purchased Lot remains in its custody
or control after such time.

servants or agents. Where this is done it is undertaken solely as a courtesy to buyers
and at the discretion of the Auctioneer. Under no circumstances shall the Auctioneer,

(b) To rescind the sale of that Lot or any other Lots sold to the buyer whether at that
or at any other auction;
(c) To resell the Lot or cause it to be resold whether by public auction or private sale.

sary expenses the difference shall be paid to the Auctioneer by the buyer. Any surplus
arising shall belong to the seller.
(d) To store (whether at the Auctioneer’s premises or elsewhere) and insure thepur-
chased Lot at the expense of the buyer.

equivalent thereto as determined by the Auctioneer in its absolute discretion from the
date on which payment is due hereunder to the date of actual payment.
(f) To retain that Lot or any other Lot purchased by the buyer whether at the same or
any other auction and release same to the buyer only after payment to the Auctioneer
of the Total Amount Due.
(g) To apply any sums which the Auctioneer received in respect of Lots being sold by
the buyer towards settlement of the Total Amount Due.
(h) To exercise a lien on any property of the buyer in the possession of the Auctioneer
or whatever reason.
Liability of Auctioneer and Seller
19. Prior to auction ample opportunity is given for the inspection of the Lots on sale
and each buyer by making a bid acknowledges that he has, by exercising and relying
on his own judgment, satisfied himself as to the physical condition, age and Catalogue
description of each Lot (including but not restricted to whether the Lot is damaged or
has been repaired or restored). All Lots are sold with all faults and imperfections and
errors of description. None of the seller, the Auctioneer nor any of their employees,
servants or agents shall be responsible for any error of description or for the condition
or authenticity of any Lot. No warranty whatsoever is given by the seller or Auctioneer
or by any of their employees, servants or agents in respect of any Lot and any con-
dition or warranty express or implied by statute or otherwise is hereby specifically
excluded.
Forgeries
20. Any amount paid by a buyer in respect of a Lot which, if it is proved within three
(3) years of the date of the auction at which it was purchased, to have been a Forgery
shall be refunded to the seller subject to the provisions hereof, provided that:
(a) The Lot has been returned by the buyer to the Auctioneer within three (3) years of
the date of the auction in the same condition in which it was at the time of the auction
together with evidence proving that it is a Forgery, the number of the Lot and the date
of the auction at which it was purchased;
(b) The Auctioneer is satisfied that the Lot is a Forgery and that the buyer has and
is able to transfer good and marketable title to the Lot free from any third party claims;
FURTHER PROVIDED THAT the buyer shall have no rights hereunder if:
(i) The description of the Lot in the Catalogue at the time of the auction was in accor-
dance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars or experts or fairly indicat-
ed that there was a conflict of such opinion;
(ii) The only method of establishing at the time of the auction in question that the Lot
was a Forgery would have been by means of scientific processes which were not gen-
erally accepted for use until after the date of the auction or which were unreasonably
expensive or impractical.
The buyer’s sole entitlement under this condition is to a refund of the actual amount
paid by him in respect of the Lot. Under no circumstances shall the Auctioneer be
liable for any damage, loss (including consequential, indirect or economic loss) or
expense suffered or incurred by the buyer by reason of the Lot being a Forgery.
The benefit of this condition shall be solely and exclusively for the buyer and shall not
be assignable. The buyer shall for the purpose of this condition be the person to whom
the original invoice in respect of the sale of the Lot is made.
Photographs
21. The buyer authorises the Auctioneer at any time to make use of any photographs
or illustrations of the Lot purchased by the buyer for such purposes as the Auctioneer
may require.
CONDITIONS WHICH MAINLY CONCERN THE SELLER
Auctioneer’s Discretion
22. With regard to the sale of any Lot the Auctioneer shall have the following powers
exercisable solely in the discretion of the Auctioneer:
(i) To decide whether to offer any Lot for sale or not;
(ii) To decide whether a particular Lot is suitable for sale by the Auctioneer and, if so,
to determine which auction, the place and date of sale, the conditions of sale and the
manner in which such sale should be conducted;
(iii) To determine the description of any Lot in a Catalogue.
(iv) To decide whether the views of any expert shall be obtained and to submit Lots for
examination by any such experts.
(v) To determine what illustration of a Lot (if any) is to be included in the Catalogue.
Seller’s Warranty and Indemnity
23. The seller warrants to the Auctioneer and to the buyer that he is the true owner
of the Lot or is legally authorised to sell the Lot on behalf of the true owner and can
transfer good and marketable title to the Lot free from any third party claims. As
regards Lots not held by the Auctioneer on its premises or under its control the seller
warrants and undertakes to the Auctioneer and the buyer that the Lot will be available
and in a deliverable state on demand by the Auctioneer or buyer. The seller shall
indemnify the Auctioneer and the buyer or any of their respective employees, servants
or agents against any loss or damage suffered by any of them in consequence of any
breach of the above warranties or undertakings by the seller.
Reserves
24. Subject to the Auctioneer’s discretion, the seller shall be entitled prior to the
auction to place a reserve on any Lot. All reserves must be agreed in advance by the
Auctioneer and entered on the Sale Order Form or subsequently be confirmed in
writing to the Auctioneer prior to auction. This also applies to changes in reserves. A
reserve may not be placed upon any Lots under IR£100 in value. The reserve shall be
the minimum Hammer Price at which the Lot may be sold by the Auctioneer. A reserve
once in place may only be changed with the consent of the Auctioneer. A commission
shall be charged on the ‘knock-down’ bid for Lots which fail to reach the reserve price.
Such commission shall be 5% of the ‘knock-down’ bid. This commission and any VAT
payable thereon must be paid before removal of the Lot after the auction. The mini-
mum commission hereunder shall be IR £25. The Auctioneer may in its sole discretion
sell a Lot at a Hammer Price below the reserve therefore but in such case the Proceeds
of Sale to which the seller shall be entitled shall be the same as they would have been
had the sale been at the reverse.
Unless a reserve has been placed on a Lot in accordance with the provisions set out
above such Lot shall be put up for sale without reserve.
In the event that any reserve price is not reached at auction then for so long as the Lot
remains with the Auctioneer and to the extent that the Lot has not been re-entered in
another auction pursuant to condition 31 the seller authorises the Auctioneer to sell
the Lot by private treaty at not less than the reserve price. The Auctioneer shall ensure
that in such a case those conditions herein which concern mainly the buyer shall, with
any necessary modification, apply to such sale.
98. 98
Tuesday 28th June
Commission
25. The seller shall pay the Auctioneer commission at the rate of 10% on the Hammer
Price of all Lots sold on behalf of the seller at Irish Art Sales and 17.5% on the Hammer
Price of all Lots sold on behalf of the seller at Fine Art, Wine and Militaria Sales togeth-
er with V.A.T. thereon at the applicable rate. The seller authorises the Auctioneer to
deduct from the Hammer Price paid by the buyer the Auctioneer’s Commission under
this condition; VAT payable at the applicable rates and any other amounts due by the
seller to the Auctioneer in whatever capacity howsoever arising. The seller agrees that
the Auctioneer may also receive commission from the buyer pursuant to condition 13.
Insurance
26. Unless otherwise instructed by the seller, all Lots (with the exception of motor vehi-
cles) deposited with the Auctioneer or put under its control for sale shall automatically
be insured by the Auctioneer under the Auctioneer’s own fine arts policy for such sum
as the Auctioneer shall from time to time in its absolute discretion determine. The
seller shall pay the Auctioneer a contribution towards such insurance at the rate of 1%
of the Hammer Price plus VAT. If the seller instructs the Auctioneer not to insure a Lot
then the Lot shall at all times remain at the risk of the seller who undertakes to indem-
nify the Auctioneer and hold the Auctioneer harmless against any and all claims made
or proceedings brought against the Auctioneer of whatever nature and howsoever
and wheresoever occurring for loss or damage to the Lot. The sum for which a Lot is
covered for insurance under this condition shall not constitute and shall not be relied
upon by the seller as a representation, warranty or guarantee as to the value of the Lot
or that the Lot will, if sold by the Auctioneer, be sold for such amount. Such insurance
shall subsist until such time as the Lot is paid for and collected by the buyer or, in
the case of Lots sold which are not paid for or collected by the buyer by the due date
hereunder for payment or collection such due date or, in the case of Lots which are not
sold, on the expiry of seven (7) days from the date on which the Auctioneer has notified
the seller to collect the Lots.
Recision of Sale
27. If before the Auctioneer has paid the Proceeds of Sale to the seller the buyer proves
to the satisfaction of the Auctioneer that the Lot sold is a Forgery and the requirements
of condition 20 are satisfied the Auctioneer shall rescind the sale and refund to the
buyer any amount paid to the Auctioneer by the buyer in respect of the Lot.
Payment of Proceeds of Sale
28. The Auctioneer shall remit the Proceeds of Sale to the seller not later than thirty
(30) days after the date of the auction, provided however that, if by that date, the
Auctioneer has not received the Total Amount Due from the buyer then the Auctioneer
shall remit the Proceeds of Sale within seven (7) working days after the date on which
the Total Amount Due is received from the buyer. If credit terms have been agreed
between the Auctioneer and the buyer the Auctioneer shall remit to the seller the
Proceeds of Sale not later than thirty (30) days after the date of the auction unless oth-
erwise agreed by the seller.
If before the Total Amount Due is paid by the buyer the Auctioneer pays the seller an
amount equal to the Proceeds of Sale then title to the Lot shall pass to the Auctioneer.
If the buyer fails to pay the Auctioneer the Total Amount Due within fourteen (14) days
after the date of the auction, the Auctioneer shall endeavour to notify the seller and
take the seller’s instructions on the course of action to be taken and, to the extent
that it is in the sole opinion of the Auctioneer feasible, shall endeavour to assist the
seller to recover the Total Amount Due from the buyer provided that nothing herein
shall oblige the Auctioneer to issue proceedings against the buyer in the Auctioneer’s
own name. If circumstances do not permit the Auctioneer to take instructions from
the seller or, if after notifying the seller, it does not receive instructions within seven
(7) days, the Auctioneer reserves the right, and is hereby authorised by the seller at
the seller’s expense, to agree special terms for payments of the Total Amount Due, to
remove, store and insure the Lot sold, to settle claims made by or against the buyer on
such terms as the Auctioneer shall in its absolute discretion think fit, to take such steps
as are necessary to collect monies due by the buyer to the seller and, if necessary, to
rescind the sale and refund money to the buyer.
Payment of Proceeds to Overseas Sellers
29. If the seller resides outside Ireland the Proceeds of Sale shall be paid to such seller
in Irish Punts unless it was agreed with the seller prior to the auction that the Proceeds
of Sale would be paid in a currency (other than Irish Punts) specified by the seller in
which case the Proceeds of Sale shall be paid by the Auctioneer to the seller in such
specified currency (provided that that currency is legally available to the Auctioneer in
the amount required) calculated at the rate of exchange quoted to the Auctioneer by
its bankers on the date of payment.
Charges for Withdrawn Lots
30. Once catalogued, Lots withdrawn from sale before proofing/publication of
Catalogue will be subject to commission of 5% of the Auctioneer’s latest estimate of
the auction price of the Lot withdrawn together with VAT thereon and any expenses
incurred by the Auctioneer in relation to the Lot. If Lots are withdrawn after proof-
ing or publication of Catalogue they will be subject to a commission of 10% of the
Auctioneer’s latest estimate of the auction price of the Lot withdrawn together with VAT
thereon and any expenses incurred by the Auctioneer in relation to the Lot. All commis-
sion hereunder must be paid for before Lots withdrawn may be removed.
Unsold Lots
31. Where any Lot fails to sell at auction the Auctioneer shall notify the seller according-
ly and (in the absence of agreement between the seller and the Auctioneer to the con-
trary) such Lot may, in the absolute discretion of the Auctioneer, be re-entered in the
next suitable auction unless instructions are received from the seller to the contrary,
otherwise such Lots must be collected at the seller’s expense within the period of thirty
(30) days of such notification from the Auctioneer.
Upon the expiry of such period the Auctioneer shall have the right to sell such Lots by
public auction or private sale and on such terms as the Auctioneer in its sole discretion
may think fit. The Auctioneer shall be entitled to deduct from the price received for
such Lots any sums owing to the Auctioneer in respect of such Lots including without
limitation removal, storage and insurance expenses, any commission and expenses
due in respect of the prior auction and commission and expenses in respect of the sub-
sequent auction together with all reasonable expenses before remitting the balance to
the seller. If the seller cannot be traced the balance shall be placed in a bank account
in the name of the Auctioneer for the seller. Any deficit arising shall be due from the
seller to the Auctioneer. Any Lots returned at the seller’s request shall be returned at
the seller’s risk and expense and will not be insured in transit unless the Auctioneer is
so instructed by the seller.
