TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

1. Historia Auktionshaus (hereafter referred to as Historia) based in Berlin/Germany conducts auctions as agent on account of its clients (=consignors) who remain anonymous.
2. The items which are up for auction are used and in a condition and state of repair that is consistent with their age and provenance. The property is offered and sold in the condition "as is". The items are to be inspected personally by the potential buyer during the viewing times prior to the auction.
3. Condition reports are available upon request prior to the sale. Traces of use, handling, and age, defects, restored parts or areas, and supplementations shall be considered as normal for used items and are mentioned at the expert's discretion in the catalogue entries resp. condition reports. The absence of such information shall not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor shall an information of particular defects imply the absence of any others. Any information stated in the catalogue as well as in written or oral condition reports are provided to the best of knowledge and belief. The same applies to general information of any kind, may be it orally or in writing, prior or during the auction. The information shall serve as non-binding information only and shall not constitute any warranty or quality agreement.
4. Signatures, monograms, dates, and inscriptions on works of art are carefully examined and included in the catalogue entries. Artist indications, dates of creation, as well as indications of medium and processed material are statements of opinion and are not to be relied on as statements of fact and do not constitute a representation, warranty, or assumption of liability by Historia of any kind. These information given in the catalogue may be objected to. In this case Historia requires the buyer to obtain the written opinion by an internationally recognized expert of the field. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally the items they are interested to bid for during the viewing times prior to the auction, if possible attended by such an expert resp. a person with specialist knowledge. Regarding bronzes and sculptures, the artist indication refers to the conception of the model whereas the execution may also have been made after the artist's death. Provenance indications on the property stated in the catalogue are based on information given by the consignor.
5. Historia assumes no liability or warranties for frames, mounts, picture glass, and pedestals unless they are decisive parts of the works of art. The same applies to defects, including any hidden defects of any nature, known or unknown, as well as the worsening of existing defects, known or unknown, due to age, handling, condition, condition of material, especially concerning furniture, carpets, frames, pedestals, or picture glass.
6. Regarding technical, mechanical, and electric objects Historia excludes liability for functionality, completeness, and mobility. Winding keys for clocks as well as keys for pieces of furniture are only enclosed if expressively stated.

8. Historia does not accept any liability neither for misprints nor any errata also concerning images in the printed resp. the online catalogue.
