Purchased lots will become available only after full payment has been

made. The sale will be conducted in Euros. In addition to the hammer

price, the buyer agrees to pay a buyer’s premium along with any applicable

value added tax.

From 1 to 150 000 € the buyer’s premium is 25% + VAT amounting to

30% (all taxes included) and 23% of any amount in excess of 150 001€

over + VAT amounting to 27.6% (all taxes included). Books (25% + VAT

amounting to 26,375%).

In addition to the hammer price and buyer’s premium, live auction buyers

Digital platform.

NB :

+ Auction by order of the court further to a prescription of the court,

buyers fees 14,40% VTA included.

° Lots on which the auction house or its partners have a financial

interest

* Lots which have been temporarily imported and are subject to a

buyer’s fee of 5.5% (20% for jewelry, motorcars, wines and spirits

and multiples – F1 helmet) in addition to the hammer price and

sale fees.

~ This lot contains animal materials. Import restrictions are to be

expected and must be considered.

The legislator imposes strict rules for the commercial use of inert animal

species. The international regulations of March 3, 1973 (CITES) requires

for different annexes a correlation between the specimen and the

documentation proving the origins to be lawful. This regulation transcribed

in European Community law (Annexes A/B/C) in Rule 338/97 of 9/12/1996

permits commercial use of regulated specimens (CITES) upon presentation

of documentation proving lawful origin; these documents for this variation

are as follows :

• For Annex A : C/C provided outlining the specimen’s history (for

specimens of recent date)

• For Annex B : Bird specimens are either banded or equipped with

transponders, and are accompanied by documents of licit origin. The

auction’s sale record must be conserved as it contains the complete

history of every specimen.

All cases concerning specimens of recent date that are protected under

the French Env.ironmental Code and which were born and raised in

captivity are permitted by the derogation clause AM of 14/07/2006. As

such, they can be used commercially provided traceability between the

specimen and the documentation proving licit origins. Other specimen

cases dating prior to clause AM of 21/07/2015 can, due to this fact, be

used commercially. Specimens dating before 1947 included in this auction

sale benefit from clause 2M of the derogatory Rule 228/97 of 9/12/1996,

permitting their use for trade. However, exporting them outside of the

EU them requires a pre-CITES Convention agreement.

For huntable species of the European continent and elsewhere, commercial

use is allowed under certain conditions. Domesticated species (D)

included in this auction sale are free for trade. Old specimens from

before the Convention (i.e. before 1975) comply with the conditions of

the AM of 23/12/2011 and, as such, are free for trade.

The other specimens in this auction sale are not subject to NR regulations

and are free for commercial use and trade. The auction record will

substantiate their licit origin.

To leave the EU, with regards to the Annexes I/A, II/B et III/C, a CITES

re-export document at the expense of the acquirer will be necessary.

GUARANTEES

In accordance with the law, the information given in the catalogue is

the responsibility of SAS Claude AGUTTES and its expert, taking into

account the corrections announced at the time of the presentation of

the item in the sale report.

Attributions were made according to scientific and artistic knowledge

at the time of the auction.

The order of the catalog will be followed.

An exhibition prior to the sale permits buyers to establish the conditions of

the works offered for sale. However in this period of pandemie the photos

are worth exhibition, and no claims will be admitted once the award is

pronounced. The reproductions in the catalog of works are as faithful

as possible, a difference in color or tones is nevertheless possible. The

dimensions are only given as an indication.

The text in French is the official text which will be retained in case of

dispute. The descriptions in other languages and the indications of

dimensions in inches are given only as an indication and cannot be at

the origin of a complaint.

The state of conservation of the works is not specified in the catalog, the

buyers are therefore obliged to ask for additional photos, videos and/

or condition reports. No claim will be accepted concerning possible

restorations or accidents once the auction has been pronounced.

The condition reports requested from SAS Claude Aguttes and the expert

before the sale are given for information only. They do not engage their

responsibilities and cannot be the cause of a legal claim. Under no

circumstances do they replace the personal examination of the work by

the buyer or his representative.

BIDS

The highest and final bidder will be the purchaser.

Should the auctioneer recognize two simultaneous bids on one lot, the

lot will be put up for sale again and all those present in the saleroom

may participate in this second opportunity to bid.

Important : Bidding is typically conducted in the auction house. However,

we may graciously accept telephone bids from potential buyers who

have made the request.

We bear no responsibility whatsoever in the case of uncompleted calls

made too late and/or technical difficulties with the telephone. We also

accept absentee bids submitted prior to the sale. Aguttes won’t be held

responsible in case of errors and omissions with the execution of the

written bids. We reserve the right to accept or deny any requests for

telephone or absentee bidding.

In carrying a bid, bidders assume their personal responsibility to pay

the hammer price as well as all buyer’s fees and taxes chargeable to the

buyer. Unless a written agreement established with Claude AGUTTES

SAS, prerequisite to the sale, mentioning that the bidder acts as a

representative of a third party approved by Claude AGUTTES SAS, the

bidder is deemed to act in his or her own name. We remind our sellers

that bidding on their own items is forbidden.

Important : During the confinement period, sales are made behind closed

doors with live transmission.

TELEPHONE BIDDING : We accept to receive telephone bids from a

potential buyer who has come forward prior to the sale. We cannot be

held liable in particular if the telephone connection is not established,

is established late, or in the event of errors or omissions relating to the

reception of bids by telephone.

ORDERS TO BUY : We accept the bidding orders that have been

transmitted. We are not liable in particular in the event of an error or

omission in the written order.

BIDS THROUGH DROUOT DIGITAL OR OTHER LIVE PLATFORM

Live bidding is allowed during the auction. Bids are made through

drouotonline.com, which is a platform that allows remote electronic bidding.

It is necessary to register beforehand and make sure that the registration

is validated. A bidding ceiling may be announced according to the

sales, it is necessary to deposit a deposit beforehand in order to bid

freely during the sale. The buyer via this platform or any other platform

proposed for live purchases is informed that the fees charged by these

platforms will be at his expense (a commission of 1.80% including tax

(fees 1.5% excluding tax and VAT 0.30%) cf. Auction via Drouot Digital).

Aguttes auction house will not be to blame for any technical difficulties

or malfunctioning of any kind that prevents buyers from bidding online

through live platforms. The break in transmission of a live bidding service

during the auction doesn’t necessarily justify its halt by the auctioneer.

COLLECTION OF PURCHASES

The lots not claimed on the day of the auction can be retrieved by

charge.

the sales department concerned.

The auctioneer is not responsible for the storage of purchased lots. If
