Special notice
VAT rate of 5% is payable on hammer price plus buyer's premium.
On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in lots consigned for sale which may include guaranteeing a minimum price or making an advance to the consignor that is secured solely by consigned property. This is such a lot. This indicates both in cases where Christie's holds the financial interest on its own, and in cases where Christie's has financed all or a part of such interest through a third party. Such third parties generally benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful.
Sale room notice
The pierced cresting which serves as suspension device is now detached. The attachment brackets have broken. Christie's will restore the break for the purchaser after the sale.
