Louis van Boeckel (1857-1944)
The artist was born in 1857 in Lier and absolved an apprenticeship as blacksmith in the factory of Verwilt. After his military service, van Boeckel, who is also known as Lodewijk or Lode van Boeckel, restored the latticework of Lier’s town hall and then started working independently. He quickly gained general recognition with his original artworks. He particularly showed off his imaginative designs and technical mastery in representation of animals. In addition to this, van Boeckel created garlands, banisters and grids (even for the White House in Washington). Over time, he reduced his highly ornamental designs in favor of figurative representations. Van Boeckel’s works can be admired today at the Museum Timmermans-Opsomer in Lier. (nlu)

Buyer's Premium

The purchase price stated in the auction catalogue ("Starting price") does not include the buyer`s premium inclusive VAT. This is also the case with the hammer price. Thus Auctionata charges the Buyer's Premium additionally.

The amount of the buyer`s premium is calculated as follows:

at a hammer price up to 1.000.000,00 Euro the buyer´s premium is 29.75 % (including VAT); the buyer's premium amounts to 23.8 % (including VAT) of the winning bid for classic cars.

at a hammer price between 1.000.000,01 Euro and 2.000.000,00 Euro the buyer´s premium is 23,80 % (including VAT) for the (partial) amount of 1.000.000,00 Euro and 17,85% (including VAT) for the (partial) amount between 1.000.000,01 Euro and 2.000.000,00 Euro

at a hammer price more than 2.000.000,01 Euro the buyer´s premium is 17.85 % (including VAT) for the (partial) amount of 1.000.000,00 Euro, 17,85% (including VAT) for the (partial) amount between 1.000.000,01 Euro and 2.000.000,00 Euro and 14,28% (including VAT) for the (partial) amount beginning with 2.000.000,01 Euro.
