CONDITIONS OF SALE ? BUYING AT CHRISTIE’S
CONDITIONS OF SALE
These Conditions of Sale and the Important Notices
and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice set out
the terms on which we offer the lots listed in this
catalogue for sale. By registering to bid and/or by
bidding at auction you agree to these terms, so you
should read them carefully before doing so. You will
find a glossary at the end explaining the meaning of
the words and expressions coloured in bold.
Unless we own a lot (D symbol), Christie’s acts as
agent for the seller.
A BEFORE THE SALE
1 DESCRIPTION OF LOTS
(a) Certain words used in the catalogue description
have special meanings. You can find details of
these on the page headed “Important Notices
and Explanation of Cataloguing Practice” which
forms part of these terms. You can find a key to the
Symbols found next to certain catalogue entries
under the section of the catalogue called “Symbols
Used in this Catalogue”.
(b) Our description of any lot in the catalogue,
any condition report and any other statement
made by us (whether orally or in writing) about
any lot, including about its nature or condition,
artist, period, materials, approximate dimensions
or provenance are our opinion and not to be relied
upon as a statement of fact. We do not carry out indepth research of the sort carried out by professional
historians and scholars. All dimensions and weights
are approximate only.
2 OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR
DESCRIPTION OF LOTS
We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the
nature of a lot apart from our authenticity warranty
contained in paragraph E2 and to the extent provided
in paragraph I below.
3 CONDITION
(a) The condition of lots sold in our auctions can vary
widely due to factors such as age, previous damage,
restoration, repair and wear and tear. Their nature
means that they will rarely be in perfect condition.
Lots are sold “as is” in the condition they are in at
the time of the sale, without any representation or
warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to
condition by Christie’s or by the seller.
(b) Any reference to condition in a catalogue entry
or in a condition report will not amount to a full
description of condition, and images may not show
a lot clearly. Colours and shades may look different
in print or on screen to how they look on physical
inspection. Condition reports may be available to
help you evaluate the condition of a lot. Condition
reports are provided free of charge as a convenience
to our buyers and are for guidance only. They offer
our opinion but they may not refer to all faults,
inherent defects, restoration, alteration or adaptation
because our staff are not professional restorers
or conservators. For that reason they are not an
alternative to examining a lot in person or taking
your own professional advice. It is your responsibility
to ensure that you have requested, received and
considered any condition report.
4 VIEWING LOTS PRE-AUCTION
(a) If you are planning to bid on a lot, you should
inspect it personally or through a knowledgeable
representative before you make a bid to make sure
that you accept the description and its condition.
We recommend you get your own advice from a
restorer or other professional adviser.
(b) Pre-auction viewings are open to the public free
of charge. Our specialists may be available to answer
questions at pre-auction viewings or by appointment.
5 ESTIMATES
Estimates are based on the condition, rarity, quality
and provenance of the lots and on prices recently
paid at auction for similar property. Estimates can
change. Neither you, nor anyone else, may rely on any
estimates as a prediction or guarantee of the actual
selling price of a lot or its value for any other purpose.
Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or
any applicable taxes. Estimates may be shown in
different currencies from that of the saleroom for
guidance only. The rate of exchange used in our
printed catalogues is fixed at the latest practical date
prior to the printing of the catalogue and may have
changed by the time of our sale.
6 WITHDRAWAL
Christie’s may, at its option, withdraw any lot at any
time prior to or during the sale of the lot. Christie’s
has no liability to you for any decision to withdraw.
7 JEWELLERY
(a) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires
and emeralds) may have been treated to improve
their look, through methods such as heating
and oiling. These methods are accepted by the
international jewellery trade but may make the
gemstone less strong and/or require special care
over time.
(b) All types of gemstones may have been improved
by some method. You may request a gemmological
report for any item which does not have a report if
the request is made to us at least three weeks before
the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the
report.
(c) We do not obtain a gemmological report for
every gemstone sold in our auctions. Where we
do get gemmological reports from internationally
accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports
will be described in the catalogue. Reports from
American gemmological laboratories will describe
any improvement or treatment to the gemstone.
Reports from European gemmological laboratories
will describe any improvement or treatment only
if we request that they do so, but will confirm
when no improvement or treatment has been
made. Because of differences in approach and
technology, laboratories may not agree whether a
particular gemstone has been treated, the amount
of treatment or whether treatment is permanent.
The gemmological laboratories will only report
on the improvements or treatments known to the
laboratories at the date of the report.
(d) For jewellery sales, estimates are based on
the information in any gemmological report or, if no
report is available, assume that the gemstones may
have been treated or enhanced.
8 WATCHES & CLOCKS
(a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired
in their lifetime and may include parts which are
not original. We do not give a warranty that any
individual component part of any watch or clock is
authentic. Watchbands described as “associated”
are not part of the original watch and may not be
authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums,
weights or keys.
(b) As collectors’ watches and clocks often have very
fine and complex mechanisms, a general service,
change of battery or further repair work may be
necessary, for which you are responsible. We do not
give a warranty that any watch or clock is in good
working order. Certificates are not available unless
described in the catalogue.
(c) Most watches have been opened to find out
the type and quality of movement. For that reason,
watches with water resistant cases may not be
waterproof and we recommend you have them
checked by a competent watchmaker before use.
Important information about the sale, transport and
shipping of watches and watchbands can be found
in paragraph H2(f).
B REGISTERING TO BID
1 NEW BIDDERS
(a) If this is your first time bidding at Christie’s
or you are a returning bidder who has not bought
anything from any of our salerooms within the last
two years you must register at least 48 hours before
an auction to give us enough time to process and
approve your registration. We may, at our option,
decline to permit you to register as a bidder. You will
be asked for the following:
(i) for individuals: Photo identification (driving
licence, national identity card or passport) and, if not
shown on the ID document, proof of your current
address (for example, a current utility bill or bank
statement);
(ii) for corporate clients: Your Certificate of
Incorporation or equivalent document(s) showing
your name and registered address, photo ID copy
of the authorized bidder, letter of authorization duly
signed by legal representative and, where applicable,

owners;
(iii) for trusts, partnerships, offshore companies
and other business structures, please contact us in
advance to discuss our requirements.
(b) We may also ask you to give us a financial
reference and/or a deposit as a condition of allowing
you to bid. For help, please contact our Client
Services Department on +852 2760 1766.
2 RETURNING BIDDERS
We may at our option ask you for current
identification as described in paragraph B1(a) above,
a financial reference or a deposit as a condition of
allowing you to bid. If you have not bought anything
from any of our salerooms in the last two years or if
you want to spend more than on previous occasions,
please contact our Bids Department on +852 2978
9910 or email to bidsasia@christies.com.
3 IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE THE RIGHT
DOCUMENTS
If in our opinion you do not satisfy our bidder
identification and registration procedures including,
but not limited to completing any anti-money
laundering and/or anti-terrorism financing checks
we may require to our satisfaction, we may refuse
to register you to bid, and if you make a successful
bid, we may cancel the contract for sale between you
and the seller. Christie’s may, at its option, specify
the type of photo identification it will accept, for the
purposes of bidder identification and registration
procedures.
4 BIDDING ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER
PERSON
(a) As authorised bidder: If you are bidding on
behalf of another person, that person will need to
complete the registration requirements above before
you can bid, and supply a signed letter authorising
you to bid for him/her.
(b) As agent for an undisclosed principal: If you
are bidding as an agent for an undisclosed principal
(the ultimate buyer(s)), you accept personal liability
to pay the purchase price and all other sums due.
Further, you warrant that:
(i) you have conducted appropriate customer due
diligence on the ultimate buyer(s) of the lot(s) in
accordance with any and all applicable anti-money
laundering and sanctions laws, consent to us relying
on this due diligence, and you will retain for a period
of not less than 5 years the documentation and
records evidencing the due diligence;
(ii) you will make such documentation and records
evidencing your due diligence promptly available
for immediate inspection by an independent thirdparty auditor upon our written request to do so. We
will not disclose such documentation and records to
any third-parties unless (1) it is already in the public
domain, (2) it is required to be disclosed by law, or (3)
it is in accordance with anti-money laundering laws;
(iii) the arrangements between you and the ultimate
buyer(s) are not designed to facilitate tax crimes;
(iv) you do not know, and have no reason to suspect,
that the funds used for settlement are connected
with, the proceeds of any criminal activity or that the
ultimate buyer(s) are under investigation, charged
with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist
activities or other money laundering predicate
crimes.
A bidder accepts personal liability to pay the
purchase price and all other sums due unless it
has been agreed in writing with Christie’s before
commencement of the auction that the bidder is
acting as an agent on behalf of a named third party
acceptable to Christie’s and that Christie’s will only
seek payment from the named third party.
5 BIDDING IN PERSON
If you wish to bid in the saleroom you must register
for a numbered bidding paddle at least 30 minutes
before the auction. For help, please contact the Client
Services Department on +852 2760 1766.
6 BIDDING SERVICES
The bidding services described below are a free
service offered as a convenience to our clients and
Christie’s is not responsible for any error (human or
otherwise), omission or breakdown in providing these
services.
214
(A) PHONE BIDS
Your request for this service must be made no later
than 24 hours prior to the auction and may also be
made on the Christie's WeChat Mini Program. We
will accept bids by telephone for lots only if our staff
are available to take the bids. Telephone bids cannot
be accepted for lots estimated below HK$30,000. If
you need to bid in a language other than in English,
you must arrange this well before the auction.
We may record telephone bids. By bidding on the
telephone, you are agreeing to us recording your
conversations. You also agree that your telephone
bids are governed by these Conditions of Sale.
(B) INTERNET BIDS ON CHRISTIE’S LIVE?
For certain auctions we will accept bids over the
Internet. To learn more, please visit https://www.
christies.com/auctions/christies-live-on-mobile.
You should register at least 24 hours in advance of
the sale in order to bid online with Christie’s LIVE?.
As well as these Conditions of Sale, internet bids
are governed by the Christie’s LIVE? terms of use
which are available on https://www.christies.com/
LiveBidding/OnlineTermsOfUse.aspx.
(C) WRITTEN BIDS
You can find a Written Bid Form at the back of our
catalogues, at any Christie’s office or by choosing
the sale and viewing the lots online at www.
christies.com or on the Christie's WeChat Mini
Program. We must receive your completed Written
Bid Form at least 24 hours before the auction. Bids
must be placed in the currency of the saleroom.
The auctioneer will take reasonable steps to carry
out written bids at the lowest possible price, taking
into account the reserve. If you make a written bid
on a lot which does not have a reserve and there is
no higher bid than yours, we will bid on your behalf
at around 50% of the low estimate or, if lower, the
amount of your bid. If we receive written bids on a lot
for identical amounts, and at the auction these are
the highest bids on the lot, we will sell the lot to the
bidder whose written bid we received first.
C CONDUCTING THE SALE
1 WHO CAN ENTER THE AUCTION
We may, at our option, refuse admission to our
premises or decline to permit participation in any
auction or to reject any bid.
2 RESERVES
Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are subject to a
reserve. We identify lots that are offered without
reserve with the symbol ? next to the lot number.
The reserve cannot be more than the lot’s low
estimate.
3 AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION
The auctioneer can at his sole option:
(a) refuse any bid;
(b) move the bidding backwards or forwards in any way
he or she may decide, or change the order of the lots;
(c) withdraw any lot;
(d) divide any lot or combine any two or more lots;
(e) reopen or continue the bidding even after the
hammer has fallen; and
(f) in the case of error or dispute related to bidding
and whether during or after the auction, continue
the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel
the sale of the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot. If
you believe that the auctioneer has accepted the
successful bid in error, you must provide a written
notice detailing your claim within 3 business days of
the date of the auction. The auctioneer will consider
such claim in good faith. If the auctioneer, in the
exercise of his or her discretion under this paragraph,
decides after the auction is complete, to cancel the
sale of a lot, or reoffer and resell a lot, he or she will
notify the successful bidder no later than by the
end of the 7th calendar day following the date of
the auction. The auctioneer’s decision in exercise
of this discretion is final. This paragraph does not
in any way prejudice Christie’s ability to cancel the
sale of a lot under any other applicable provision
of these Conditions of Sale, including the rights of
cancellation set forth in sections B(3), E(2)(i), F(4) and
J(1).
4 BIDDING
The auctioneer accepts bids from:
(a) bidders in the saleroom;
(b) telephone bidders, and internet bidders through
‘Christie’s LIVE? (as shown above in Section B6);
and
(c) written bids (also known as absentee bids or
commission bids) left with us by a bidder before the
auction.
5 BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER
The auctioneer may, at his or her sole option, bid
on behalf of the seller up to but not including the
amount of the reserve either by making consecutive
bids or by making bids in response to other bidders.
The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made
on behalf of the seller and will not make any bid on
behalf of the seller at or above the reserve. If lots
are offered without reserve, the auctioneer will
generally decide to open the bidding at 50% of the
low estimate for the lot. If no bid is made at that
level, the auctioneer may decide to go backwards
at his or her sole option until a bid is made, and then
continue up from that amount. In the event that there
are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem such
lot unsold.
6 BID INCREMENTS
Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and
increases in steps (bid increments). The auctioneer
will decide at his or her sole option where the bidding
should start and the bid increments. The usual bid
increments are shown for guidance only on the
Written Bid Form at the back of this catalogue.
7 CURRENCY CONVERTER
The saleroom video screens, Christie’s LIVE? and
Christie’s website may show bids in some other
major currencies from that of the saleroom. Any
conversion is for guidance only and we cannot be
bound by any rate of exchange used by Christie’s.
Christie’s is not responsible for any error (human or
otherwise), omission or breakdown in providing these
services.
8 SUCCESSFUL BIDS
Unless the auctioneer decides to use his or her
discretion as set out in paragraph C3 above, when
the auctioneer’s hammer strikes, we have accepted
the last bid. This means a contract for sale has been
formed between the seller and the successful bidder.
We will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder
who made the successful bid. While we send out
invoices by post and/or email after the auction, we
do not accept responsibility for telling you whether
or not your bid was successful. If you have bid by
written bid, you should contact us by telephone or in
person as soon as possible after the auction to get
details of the outcome of your bid to avoid having to
pay unnecessary storage charges.
9 LOCAL BIDDING LAWS
You agree that when bidding in any of our sales
that you will strictly comply with all local laws and
regulations in force at the time of the sale for the
relevant sale site.
D THE BUYER’S PREMIUM, TAXES
1 THE BUYER’S PREMIUM
In addition to the hammer price, the successful
bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on
the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots
we charge 26% of the hammer price up to and
including HK$7,500,000, 20% on that part of the
hammer price over HK$7,500,000 and up to and
including HK$50,000,000, and 14.5% of that part of
the hammer price above HK$50,000,000.
2 TAXES
The successful bidder is responsible for any
applicable tax including any VAT, sales or
compensating use tax or equivalent tax wherever
such taxes may arise on the hammer price and the
buyer’s premium.
It is the buyer’s responsibility to ascertain and pay all
taxes due. In all circumstances Hong Kong law takes
precedence. Christie’s recommends you obtain your
own independent tax advice.
For lots Christie’s ships to the United States, a state
sales or use tax may be due on the hammer price,
buyer’s premium and/or any other charges related
to the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of
the purchaser. Christie’s will collect sales tax where
legally required. The applicable sales tax rate will be
determined based upon the state, county, or locale
to which the lot will be shipped. Successful bidders
claiming an exemption from sales tax must provide
appropriate documentation to Christie’s prior to the
release of the lot. For shipments to those states
for which Christie’s is not required to collect sales
tax, a successful bidder may be required to remit
use tax to that state’s taxing authorities. Christie’s
recommends you obtain your own independent tax
advice with further questions.
E WARRANTIES
1 SELLER’S WARRANTIES
For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the seller:
(a) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of the lot
acting with the permission of the other co-owners or,
if the seller is not the owner or a joint owner of the
lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the lot, or
the right to do so in law; and
(b) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot
to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by
anyone else.
If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the
seller shall not have to pay more than the purchase
price (as defined in paragraph F1(a) below) paid
by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to
you for any reason for loss of profits or business,
expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest,
costs, damages, other damages or expenses. The
seller gives no warranty in relation to any lot other
than as set out above and, as far as the seller is
allowed by law, all warranties from the seller to you,
and all other obligations upon the seller which may
be added to this agreement by law, are excluded.
2 OUR AUTHENTICITY WARRANTY
We warrant, subject to the terms below, that the
lots in our sales are authentic (our “authenticity
warranty”). If, within 5 years of the date of the
auction, you give notice to us that your lot is not
authentic, subject to the terms below, we will refund
the purchase price paid by you. The meaning
of authentic can be found in the glossary at the
end of these Conditions of Sale. The terms of the
authenticity warranty are as follows:
(a) It will be honoured for claims notified within a
period of 5 years from the date of the auction. After
such time, we will not be obligated to honour the
authenticity warranty.
(b) It is given only for information shown in
UPPERCASE type in the first line of the catalogue
description (the “Heading”). It does not apply to any
information other than in the Heading, even if shown
in UPPERCASE type.
(c) The authenticity warranty does not apply to
any Heading or part of a Heading which is qualified.
Qualified means limited by a clarification in a lot’s
catalogue description or by the use in a Heading of
one of the terms listed in the section titled Qualified
Headings on the page of the catalogue headed
“Important Notices and Explanation of Cataloguing
Practice”. For example, use of the term “ATTRIBUTED
TO…..” in a Heading means that the lot is in Christie’s
opinion probably a work by the named artist but no
warranty is provided that the lot is the work of the
named artist. Please read the full list of Qualified
Headings and a lot’s full catalogue description
before bidding.
(d) The authenticity warranty applies to the
Heading as amended by any Saleroom Notice.
(e) The authenticity warranty does not apply where
scholarship has developed since the auction leading
to a change in generally accepted opinion. Further
it does not apply if the Heading either matched the
generally accepted opinion of experts at the date of
the sale or drew attention to any conflict of opinion.
(f) The authenticity warranty does not apply if
the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by a
scientific process which, on the date we published
the catalogue, was not available or generally
accepted for use, or which was unreasonably
expensive or impractical, or which was likely to have
damaged the lot.
(g) The benefit of the authenticity warranty is only
available to the original buyer shown on the invoice
for the lot issued at the time of the sale and only if,
on the date of the notice of claim, the original buyer
is the full owner of the lot and the lot is free from
any claim, interest or restriction by anyone else. The
benefit of this authenticity warranty may not be
transferred to anyone else.
(h) In order to claim under the authenticity
warranty you must:
(i) give us written notice of your claim within 5
years of the date of the auction. We may require full
details and supporting evidence of any such claim;
(ii) at Christie’s option, we may require you to
provide the written opinions of two recognized
experts in the field of the lot mutually agreed by
you and us in advance confirming that the lot is not
authentic. If we have any doubts, we reserve the
right to obtain additional opinions at our expense;
and
(iii) return the lot at your expense to the saleroom
from which you bought it in the condition it was in
at the time of sale.
(i) Your only right under this authenticity warranty
is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the
purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, in any
circumstances, be required to pay you more than
the purchase price nor will we be liable for any loss
of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value,
expected savings or interest, costs, damages, other
damages or expenses.
215
(j) Books. Where the lot is a book, we give an
additional warranty for 14 days from the date of the
sale that if on collation any lot is defective in text
or illustration, we will refund your purchase price,
subject to the following terms:
(a) This additional warranty does not apply to:
(i) the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards
or advertisements, damage in respect of bindings,
stains, spotting, marginal tears or other defects not
affecting completeness of the text or illustration;
(ii) drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts,
signed photographs, music, atlases, maps or
periodicals;
(iii) books not identified by title;
(iv) lots sold without a printed estimate;
(v) books which are described in the catalogue as
sold not subject to return; or
(vi) defects stated in any condition report or
announced at the time of sale.
(b) To make a claim under this paragraph you must
give written details of the defect and return the lot
to the sale room at which you bought it in the same
condition as at the time of sale, within 14 days of the
date of the sale.
(k) South East Asian Modern and Contemporary
Art and Chinese Calligraphy and Painting.
In these categories, the authenticity warranty
does not apply because current scholarship does
not permit the making of definitive statements.
Christie’s does, however, agree to cancel a sale
in either of these two categories of art where it
has been proven the lot is a forgery. Christie’s will
refund to the original buyer the purchase price in
accordance with the terms of Christie’s authenticity
warranty, provided that the original buyer gives us
written notice of the claim within twelve (12) months
of the date of the auction. We may require full details
and supporting evidence of any such claim. Such
evidence must be satisfactory to us that the lot is a
forgery in accordance with paragraph E2(h)(ii) above
and the lot must be returned to us in accordance
with E2h(iii) above. Paragraphs E2(b), (c), (d), (e),
(f) and (g) and (i) also apply to a claim under these
categories.
(l) Chinese, Japanese and Korean artefacts (excluding
Chinese, Japanese and Korean calligraphy, paintings,
prints, drawings and jewellery).
In these categories, paragraph E2 (b) – (e) above
shall be amended so that where no maker or artist is
identified, the authenticity warranty is given not only
for the Heading but also for information regarding date
or period shown in UPPERCASE type in the second
line of the catalogue description (the “Subheading”).
Accordingly, all references to the Heading in paragraph
E2 (b) – (e) above shall be read as references to both
the Heading and the Subheading.

and we choose to accept such payment we may

circumstances paragraph G(d)(iv) shall apply.
5 KEEPING YOUR PROPERTY
If you owe money to us or to another Christie’s
Group company, as well as the rights set out in F4
above, we can use or deal with any of your property
we hold or which is held by another Christie’s Group
company in any way we are allowed to by law. We
will only release your property to you after you pay us
or the relevant Christie’s Group company in full for
what you owe. However, if we choose, we can also
sell your property in any way we think appropriate.
We will use the proceeds of the sale against any
amounts you owe us and we will pay any amount left
from that sale to you. If there is a shortfall, you must
pay us any difference between the amount we have
received from the sale and the amount you owe us.
G COLLECTION AND STORAGE
(a) We ask that you collect purchased lots promptly
following the auction (but note that you may not
collect any lot until you have made full and clear
payment of all amounts due to us).
(b) For information on collecting lots, Please contact
Christie’s Post-Sale Services Department on +852
2760 1766 / Email: postsaleasia@christies.com
(c) If you do not collect any lot promptly following
the auction we can, at our option, remove the lot to
another Christie’s location or an affiliate or third party

an affiliate or third party warehouse and charge you
transport costs and administrative fees for doing so.

way we think appropriate.
(iv) the storage terms which can be found at www.
christies.com/storage shall apply.
(v) nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit our
rights under paragraph F4.
H TRANSPORT AND SHIPPING
1 TRANSPORT AND SHIPPING
We will enclose a transport and shipping form
with each invoice sent to you. You must make all
transport and shipping arrangements. However,
we can arrange to pack, transport and ship your
property if you ask us to and pay the costs of doing
so. We recommend that you ask us for an estimate,
especially for any large items or items of high
value that need professional packing before you
bid. We may also suggest other handlers, packers,
transporters or experts if you ask us to do so. For
more information, please contact Christie’s PostSale Services Department by phone on +852 2760
1766 or email to postsaleasia@christies.com. We
will take reasonable care when we are handling,
packing, transporting and shipping a lot. However,
if we recommend another company for any of these
purposes, we are not responsible for their acts, failure
to act or neglect.
2 EXPORT AND IMPORT
Any lot sold at auction may be affected by laws on
exports from the country in which it is sold and the
import restrictions of other countries. Many countries
require a declaration of export for property leaving
the country and/or an import declaration on entry
of property into the country. Local laws may prevent
you from importing a lot or may prevent you selling a
lot in the country you import it into.
We will not be obliged to cancel your purchase and
refund the purchase price if your lot may not be
exported, imported or it is seized for any reason
by a government authority. It is your responsibility
to determine and satisfy the requirements of any
applicable laws or regulations relating to the export
or import of any lot you purchase.
(a) You alone are responsible for getting advice
about and meeting the requirements of any laws or
regulations which apply to exporting or importing any
lot prior to bidding. If you are refused a licence or there
is a delay in getting one, you must still pay us in full
for the lot. We may be able to help you apply for the
appropriate licences if you ask us to and pay our fee for
doing so. However, we cannot guarantee that you will
get one. For more information, please contact Christie’s
Post-Sale Services Department by phone on +852
2760 1766 or email to postsaleasia@christies.com.
(b) You alone are responsible for any applicable
taxes, tariffs or other government-imposed charges
relating to the export or import of the lot. If Christie’s
216
exports or imports the lot on your behalf, and if
Christie’s pays these applicable taxes, tariffs or other
government-imposed charges, you agree to refund
that amount to Christie’s.
(c) Lots made of protected species
Lots made of or including (regardless of the
percentage) endangered and other protected species
of wildlife are marked with the symbol ~ in the
catalogue. This material includes, among other things,
ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn,
whalebone certain species of coral, and rosewood.
You should check the relevant customs laws and
regulations before bidding on any lot containing
wildlife material if you plan to import the lot into
another country. Several countries refuse to allow
you to import property containing these materials,
and some other countries require a licence from
the relevant regulatory agencies in the countries of
exportation as well as importation. In some cases, the
lot can only be shipped with an independent scientific
confirmation of species and/or age and you will need to
obtain these at your own cost. If a lot contains elephant
ivory, or any other wildlife material that could be
confused with elephant ivory, (for example, mammoth
ivory, walrus ivory, helmeted hornbill ivory) please see
further important information in paragraph (c) if you
are proposing to import the lot into the USA. We will
not be obliged to cancel your purchase and refund
the purchase price if your lot may not be exported,
imported or it is seized for any reason by a government
authority. It is your responsibility to determine and
satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or
regulations relating to the export or import of property
containing such protected or regulated material.
(d) US import ban on African elephant ivory
The USA prohibits the import of ivory from the
African elephant. Any lot containing elephant ivory or
other wildlife material that could be easily confused
with elephant ivory (for example, mammoth ivory,
walrus ivory, helmeted hornbill ivory) can only be
imported into the US with results of a rigorous
scientific test acceptable to Fish & Wildlife, which
confirms that the material is not African elephant
ivory. Where we have conducted such rigorous
scientific testing on a lot prior to sale, we will make
this clear in the lot description. In all other cases,
we cannot confirm whether a lot contains African
elephant ivory, and you will buy that lot at your own
risk and be responsible for any scientific test or other
reports required for import into the USA at your
own cost. If such scientific test is inconclusive or
confirms the material is from the African elephant,
we will not be obliged to cancel your purchase and
refund the purchase price.
(e) Lots of Iranian origin
Some countries prohibit or restrict the purchase and/
or import of Iranian-origin “works of conventional
craftsmanship” (works that are not by a recognized
artist and/or that have a function, for example:
carpets, bowls, ewers, tiles, ornamental boxes).
For example, the USA prohibits the import of this
type of property and its purchase by US persons
(wherever located). Other countries, such as Canada,
only permit the import of this property in certain
circumstances. As a convenience to buyers, Christie’s
indicates under the title of a lot if the lot originates
from Iran (Persia). It is your responsibility to ensure
you do not bid on or import a lot in contravention of
the sanctions or trade embargoes that apply to you.
(f) Gold
Gold of less than 18ct does not qualify in all countries
as ‘gold’ and may be refused import into those
countries as ‘gold’.
(g) Watches
Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue
are pictured with straps made of endangered or
protected animal materials such as alligator or
crocodile. These lots are marked with the symbol Ψ
in the catalogue. These endangered species straps
are shown for display purposes only and are not for
sale. Christie’s will remove and retain the strap prior
to shipment from the sale site. At some sale sites,
Christie’s may, at its discretion, make the displayed
endangered species strap available to the buyer of
the lot free of charge if collected in person from the
sale site within 1 year of the date of the sale. Please
check with the department for details on a particular
lot.
For all symbols and other markings referred to in
paragraph H2, please note that lots are marked as a
convenience to you, but we do not accept liability for
errors or for failing to mark lots.
I OUR LIABILITY TO YOU
(a) We give no warranty in relation to any
statement made, or information given, by us or our
representatives or employees, about any lot other
than as set out in the authenticity warranty and, as
far as we are allowed by law, all warranties and other
terms which may be added to this agreement by law
are excluded. The seller’s warranties contained in
paragraph E1 are their own and we do not have any
liability to you in relation to those warranties.
(b) (i) We are not responsible to you for any reason
(whether for breaking this agreement or any other
matter relating to your purchase of, or bid for, any
lot) other than in the event of fraud or fraudulent
misrepresentation by us or other than as expressly
set out in these conditions of sale; and
(ii) We do not give any representation, warranty or
guarantee or assume any liability of any kind in respect
of any lot with regard to merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, description, size, quality, condition,
attribution, authenticity, rarity, importance, medium,
provenance, exhibition history, literature, or historical
relevance. Except as required by local law, any
warranty of any kind is excluded by this paragraph.
(c) In particular, please be aware that our written
and telephone bidding services, Christie’s LIVE?,
condition reports, currency converter and saleroom
video screens are free services and we are not
responsible to you for any error (human or otherwise),
omission, breakdown, or delay, unavailability,
suspension or termination of any of these services.
(d) We have no responsibility to any person other
than a buyer in connection with the purchase of any
lot.
(e) If, in spite of the terms in paragraphs (a) to (d)
or E2(i) above, we are found to be liable to you for
any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the
purchase price paid by you to us. We will not be
responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits
or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected
savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses.
J OTHER TERMS
1 OUR ABILITY TO CANCEL
In addition to the other rights of cancellation
contained in this agreement, we can cancel a sale
of a lot if we reasonably believe that completing the
transaction is, or may be, unlawful or that the sale
places us or the seller under any liability to anyone
else or may damage our reputation.
2 RECORDINGS
We may videotape and record proceedings at any
auction. We will keep any personal information
confidential, except to the extent disclosure is
required by law. However, we may, through this
process, use or share these recordings with another
Christie’s Group company and marketing partners
to analyse our customers and to help us to tailor
our services for buyers. If you do not want to be
videotaped, you may make arrangements to make a
telephone or written bid or bid on Christie’s LIVE?
instead. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you
may not videotape or record proceedings at any
auction.

or other reproduction rights to the lot.

our California Consumer Privacy Act statement at
https://www.christies.com/about-us/contact/ccpa.

No failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy
provided under these Conditions of Sale shall
constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy,
nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of
that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial
exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict
the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
9 LAW AND DISPUTES

款。
通過登記競投和 / 或在拍賣會中競投即表示
您同意接受這些條款，因此，您須在競投之
前仔細閱讀這些條款。下述粗體字體詞語的
解釋在尾部詞匯表列明。

佳士得為賣方的代理人。
A. 拍賣之前
1. 拍賣品描述
(a) 目錄描述部分使用的某些詞匯有特殊意
義。詳情請見構成條款部分的重要通知
及目錄編列方法之說明。對目錄內的標
識的解釋，請見本目錄內“本目錄中使
用的各類標識”。
(b) 本公司在本目錄中對任何拍賣品的描
述，拍賣品狀况報告及其它陳述（不管
是口頭還是書面），包括拍賣品性質或
狀况、藝術家、時期、材料、概略尺寸
或來源均屬我們意見之表述，而不應被
作為事實之陳述。我們不像專業的歷史
學家及學者那樣進行深入的研究。所有
的尺寸及重量僅為粗略估計。
2. 對於拍賣品描述佳士得所負的責任
我們不對拍賣品的性質提供任何保證，除了
下述第 E2 段的真品保證以及第 I 段另有約
定。
3. 狀况
(a) 在我們拍賣會上拍賣的拍賣品狀况可因
年代、先前損壞、修復、修理及損耗等
因素而差異甚大。其性質即意味著幾乎
不可能處於完美的狀况。拍賣品是按照
其在拍賣之時的情况以“現狀”出售，
而且不包括佳士得或賣方的任何陳述或
保證或對於狀况的任何形式的責任承
擔。
(b) 在本目錄條目或狀况報告中提及狀况不
等同於對狀况的完整描述，圖片可能不
會清晰展示出拍賣品。拍賣品的色彩和
明暗度在印刷品或屏幕上看起來可能會
與實體檢查時的情况不同。狀况報告可
協助您評估拍賣品的狀况。為方便買
方，狀况報告為免費提供，僅作為指引。
狀况報告提供了我們的意見，但是可能
未指出所有的缺陷、內在瑕疵、修復、
更改及改造，因為我們的僱員不是專業
修復或維護人員。出於這個原因，他們
不能替代您親自檢查拍賣品或您自己尋
求的專業意見。買方有責任確保自己已
經要求提供、收悉及考慮了任何狀况報
告。
4. 拍賣之前檢查拍賣品
(a) 如果您計劃競投一件拍賣品，應親自或
通過具有專業知識之代表檢視，以確保
您接受拍賣品描述及狀况。我們建議您
從專業修復人員或其它專業顧問那裏索
取意見。
(b) 拍賣之前的檢視免費向公衆開放。在拍
賣之前的檢視或通過預約，我們的專家
可在場回答問題。
5. 估價
估價是基於拍賣品的狀况、稀有程度、質
量、來源及類似物品的近期拍價決定。估價
可能會改變。您或任何其他人在任何情况下
都不可能依賴估價，將其作為拍賣品的實際
售價的預測或保證。估價不包括買方酬金或
任何適用的稅費。估價可能以拍賣場當地貨
幣以外的貨幣顯示並僅作指引。本目錄使用
的貨幣兌換率是根據最貼近目錄付印時的兌
換率設定，所以可能與拍賣當日兌換率有差
別。
6. 撤回
佳士得有權單方面决定在拍賣品拍賣過程中
或拍賣之前的任何時間將拍賣品撤回。佳士
得無須就任何撤回决定向您承擔責任。
7. 珠寶
(a) 有色寶石（如紅寶石、藍寶石及綠寶石）
可能經過處理以改良外觀，包括加熱及
上油等方法。這些方法都被國際珠寶行
業認可，但是經處理的寶石的硬度可能
會降低及 / 或在日後需要特殊的保養。
(b) 所有類型的寶石均可能經過某些改良處
理。如果某件拍賣品沒有報告，您可以
在拍賣日之前至少提前三周向我們要求
寶石鑒定報告，報告的費用由您支付。
(c) 我們不會為每件拍賣的寶石拿取鑒定報
告。若我們有從國際認可的寶石鑒定實
驗室取得鑒定報告，我們會在目錄中提
及。從美國寶石鑒定實驗室發出的鑒定
報告會描述對寶石的改良或處理。歐洲
寶石鑒定實驗室的報告僅在我們要求的
時候，才會提及對寶石的改良及處理，
但是該報告會確認該寶石沒有被改良或
處理。因各實驗室使用方法和技術的差
異，對某寶石是否處理過、處理的程度
或處理是否為永久性，都可能持不同意
見。寶石鑒定實驗室僅對報告作出日之
前實驗室所知悉的改進及處理進行報
告。
(d) 對於珠寶銷售來說，估價是以寶石鑒定報
告中的信息為基礎，如果沒有報告，就會
認為寶石可能已經被處理或提升過。
8. 鐘錶
(a) 幾乎所有的鐘錶在使用期內都被修理
過，可能都含有非原裝零部件。我們
不能保證任何鐘錶的任何個別零部件
都是原裝。被陳述為“關聯”字樣的
錶帶不是原裝錶的部分，可能不是真
品。拍賣的鐘可能跟隨沒有鐘擺、鐘
錘或鑰匙出售。
(b) 收藏家等級的鐘錶經常有非常精細複雜
的機械構造，可能需要一般保養服務、
更換電池或進一步的修理工作，而這些
都由買方負責。我們不保證每一隻鐘錶
都是在良好運作狀態。除非目錄中有提
及，我們不提供證書。
(c) 大多數的錶都被打開過查看機芯的型號
及質量。因為這個原因，帶有防水錶殼
的錶可能不能防水，在使用之前我們建
議您讓專業鐘錶師事先檢驗。
手錶及錶帶的拍賣及運送方面的重要信息，
請見第 H2(f) 段。

(B) 在 Christie’s LIVE? 網絡競投
在某些拍賣會，我們會接受網絡競投。請
登 入 https://www.christies.com/auctions/
christies-live-on-mobile。如需網路競投，您
必須在拍賣開始前至少 24 小時辨理申請。網
絡競投受業務規定及 Christie’s Live? 使用條

網站。
(C) 書面競投
您可於本目錄，任何佳士得辦公室或通過
www.christies.com 或佳士得微信小程序選
擇拍賣並查看拍賣品取得書面競投表格。您
必須在拍賣開始前至少 24 小時提交已經填
妥的書面競投表格。投標必須是以拍賣會當
地的貨幣為單位。拍賣官將在參考底價後，
合理地履行書面競投務求以可能的最低價行
使書面標。如果您以書面競投一件沒有底價
的拍賣品，而且沒有其他更高叫價，我們會
為您以低端估價的 50% 進行競投；或如果
您的書面標比上述更低，則以您的書面標的
價格進行競投。如佳士得收到多個競投價相
等的書面競投，而在拍賣時此等競投價乃該
拍賣品之最高出價，則該拍賣品售給最先送
達其書面競投書給本公司之競投人。
C. 舉行拍賣
1. 進入拍賣現場
我們有權不允許任何人士進入拍賣場地，參
與拍賣，亦可拒絕接受任何競投。
2. 底價
除非另外列明，所有拍賣品均有底價。不定
有底價的拍賣品，在拍賣品號碼旁邊用?
標記。底價不會高於拍賣品的低端估價。
3. 拍賣官之酌情權
拍賣官可以酌情選擇：
(a) 拒絕接受任何競投；
(b) 以其决定方式將競投提前或拖後，或改
變拍賣品的順序；
(c) 撤回任何拍賣品；
(d) 將任何拍賣品分開拍賣或將兩件或多件
拍賣品合併拍賣；
(e) 重開或繼續競投，即便已經下槌；
(f) 如果有關於競投的錯誤或者爭議，無論
是在拍賣時或拍賣後，選擇繼續拍賣、
決定誰是成功競投人、取消拍賣品的拍
賣，或是將拍賣品重新拍賣或出售。如
果您相信拍賣官在接受成功投標時存在
錯誤，您必須在拍賣日後 3 個工作天
內提供一份詳細記述您訴求的書面通
知。拍賣官將本著真誠考慮該訴求。如
果拍賣官在根據本段行使酌情權，在拍
賣完成後決定取消出售一件拍賣品，或
是將拍賣品重新拍賣或出售，拍賣官最
遲將在拍賣日後第 7 個日曆日結束前通
知成功競投人。拍賣官有最終決定權。
本段不在任何情況下影響佳士得依據本
業務規定中任何其他適用規定，包括
第 B(3)，E(2)(i)，F(4) 及 J(1) 段中所
列的取消權，取消出售一件拍賣品的權
利。
4. 競投
拍賣官接受以下競投：
(a) 拍賣會場參與競投的競投人；
(b) 從電話競投人，通過Christie’s Live?（如
第 B6 部分所示）透過網絡競投的競投
人；
(c) 拍賣之前提交佳士得的書面競投（也稱
為不在場競投或委托競投）。
5. 代表賣方競投
拍賣官可選擇代賣方競投的方式連續競投或
以回應其他競投者的投標而競投的方式，直
至達到底價以下。拍賣官不會特別指明此乃
代表賣方的競投。拍賣官不會代表賣方作出
相等於或高於底價之出價。就不設底價的
拍賣品，拍賣官通常會以低端估價的 50%
開始拍賣。如果在此價位沒有人競投，拍
賣官可以自行斟酌將價格下降繼續拍賣，
直至有人競投，然後從該價位向上拍賣。
如果無人競投該拍賣品，拍賣官可視該拍賣
品為流拍拍賣品。
6. 競投價遞增幅度
競投通常從低於低端估計開始，然後逐步增
加（競投價遞增幅度）。拍賣官會自行决定
競投開始價位及遞增幅度。本目錄內的書面
競投表格上顯示的是一般遞增幅度，僅供閣
下參考。
7. 貨幣兌換
拍賣會的顯示板，Christie’s Live? 和佳士得
網站可能會以拍賣場當地貨幣外的主要貨幣
來展示競投。任何佳士得使用的兌換率僅作
指引，佳士得並不受其約束。對於在提供該
服務出現的任何錯誤（人為或其它），遺漏
或故障，佳士得並不負責。
8. 成功競投
除非拍賣官决定使用以上 C3 段中的酌情
權，拍賣官下槌即表示對最終競投價之接
受。這代表賣方和成功競投人之間的買賣合
約之訂立。我們僅向已登記的成功競投人開
具發票。拍賣後我們會以郵寄及 / 或電子郵
件方式發送發票，但我們並不負責通知閣下
競投是否成功。如果您以書面競投，拍賣後
您應儘快以電話聯繫我們或親臨本公司查詢
競投結果，以避免產生不必要的倉儲費用。
9. 競投地法律
當您在我們的拍賣中競投時，您同意您會嚴
格遵守所有在拍賣時生效並適用於相關拍賣
場所的當地法律及法規。
D. 買方酬金及稅款
1. 買方酬金
成功競投人除支付成交價外，亦同意支
付本公司以該拍賣品成交價計算的買方
酬金。酬金費率按每件拍賣品成交價首
港 幣 7,500,000 元 之 26%； 加 逾 港 幣
7,500,000 元以上至港幣 50,000,000 元

國籍或公民身份，均可能須支付基於成交
價，買方酬金和 / 或與拍賣品相關的其他費
用而產生的州銷售稅或使用稅費。佳士得將
根據法律要求收取銷售稅。適用銷售稅率由

要求豁免銷售稅的成功競投人必須在提取拍
賣品之前向佳士得提供適當文件。佳士得不
須收取稅費的州分，成功競投人可能須繳付
稅費予該州分的稅務機構。佳士得建議您徵
詢獨立稅務意見。

E. 保證
1. 賣方保證
對於每件拍賣品，賣方保證其：
(a) 為拍賣品的所有人，或拍賣品的共有人
之一並獲得其他共有人的許可 ; 或者，

品或其在法律上有權這麽做；
(b) 有權利將拍賣品的所有權轉讓給買方，
且該權利不負擔任何限制或任何其他人
之索賠權。
如果以上任何保證不確實，賣方不必支付超
過您已向我們支付的購買款項（詳見以下第
F1(a) 段定義）的金額。賣方不會就閣下利
潤上或經營的損失、預期存款、商機喪失或
利息的損失、成本、賠償金、其他賠償或支
出承擔責任。賣方不就任何拍賣品提供任何
以上列舉之外的保證；只要法律許可，所有
賣方對您做出的保證及法律要求加入本協議
的所有其它賣方責任均被免除。
2. 真品保證
在不抵觸以下條款的情況下，本公司保證我
們拍賣的拍賣品都是真品（我們的“真品保
證”）。如果在拍賣日後的五年內，您通知
我們您的拍賣品不是真品，在符合以下條款
規定之下，我們將把您支付的購買款項退還
給您。業務規定的詞匯表裏有對“真品”一

(c) 真品保證不適用有保留標題或任何有保
留的部分標題。有保留是指受限於拍賣
品目錄描述內的解釋，或者標題中有
“重要通告及目錄編列方法之說明”內
有保留標題的某些字眼。例如：標題中
對“認為是…之作品”的使用指佳士得

但是佳士得不保證該作品一定是該藝術
家的作品。在競投前，請閱畢“有保留
標題”列表及拍賣品的目錄描述。
(d) 真品保證適用於被拍賣會通告修訂後的
標題。
(e) 真品保證不適用於在拍賣之後，學術發
展導致被普遍接受的學者或專家意見有

(f) 如果拍賣品只有通過科學鑒定方法才能
鑒定出不是真品，而在我們出版目錄之
日，該科學方法還未存在或未被普遍接
納，或價格太昂貴或不實際，或者可能
損壞拍賣品，則真品保證不適用。
(g) 真品保證僅適用於拍賣品在拍賣時由佳
士得發出之發票之原本買方，且僅在申
索通知做出之日原本買方是拍賣品的唯
一所有人，且拍賣品不受其他申索權、
權利主張或任何其他制約的限制。此真
品保證中的利益不可以轉讓。
(h) 要申索真品保證下的權利，您必須：
(i) 在拍賣日後 5 年內，向我們提供書
面的申索通知。我們可以要求您提
供上述申索完整的細節及佐證證據；
(ii) 佳士得有權要求您提供為佳士得及
您均事先同意的在此拍賣品領域被
認可的兩位專家的書面意見，確認
該拍賣品不是真品。如果我們有任
何疑問，我們保留自己支付費用獲
取更多意見的權利；及
(iii) 自費交回與拍賣時狀況相同的拍賣
品給佳士得拍賣場。
(i) 您在本真品保證下唯一的權利就是取消
該項拍賣及取回已付的購買款項。在任
何情况下我們不須支付您超過您已向我
們支付的購買款項的金額，同時我們也
無須對任何利潤或經營損失、商機或價

書面通知，並交回與拍賣時狀況相
同的拍賣品給當時進行拍賣的佳士
得拍賣行。
(k) 東南亞現代及當代藝術以及中國書畫。
真品保證並不適用於此類別拍賣品。目前學
術界不容許對此類別作出確實之說明，但佳
士得同意取消被證實為贗品之東南亞現代及
當代藝術以及中國書畫拍賣品之交易。已付
之購買款項則根據佳士得真品保證的條款退
還予原本買方，但買方必須在拍賣日後 12
個月內，向我們提供書面的申索通知。我們
可以要求您提供上述申索完整的細節及佐證
證據。買方需按以上 E2(h)(ii) 的規定提供
令佳士得滿意的證據，證實該拍賣品為贗
品，及須按照以上 E2(h)(iii) 規定交回拍賣
品給我們。E2(b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g)和 (i)
適用於此類別之申索。
(l) 中國、日本及韓國工藝品（中國、日本
及韓國書畫、版畫、素描及珠寶除外）。
以上 E2(b)–(e) 在此類別拍賣品將作修改
如下。當創作者或藝術家未有列明時，我們
不僅為標題作出真品保證，並會對本目錄描
述第二行以大階字體注明的有關日期或時期
的資料提供真品保證（“副標題”）。以上

2. 出口 / 進口
拍賣售出的任何拍賣品都可能受拍賣品售出
國家的出口法律及其他國家的進口法律限制。
許多國家就拍賣品出境要求出口聲明及 / 或
就拍賣品入境要求進口聲明。進口國當地法
律可能會禁止進口某些拍賣品或禁止拍賣品
在進口國出售。
我們不會因您所購買的拍賣品無法出口，進
口或出於任何原因遭政府機構沒收而有責任
取消您的購買或向您退換購買款項。您應負
責確認並滿足任何法律或法規對出口或進口
您購買的拍賣品的要求。
(a) 在競投前，您應尋求專業意見並負責滿
足任何法律或法規對出口或進口拍賣品
的要求。如果您被拒發許可證，或申請
許可證延誤，您仍須全數支付拍賣品的
價款。如果您提出請求，在我們能力範
圍許可內，我們可以協助您申請所需許
可證，但我們會就此服務向您收取費
用。我們不保證必能獲得許可證。如欲
了解詳情，請聯繫佳士得售後服務部，

(b) 你應負責支付與拍賣品出口或進口有關
的所有適用稅費、關稅或其他政府徵收
的費用。如果佳士得為您出口或進口拍
賣品，且佳士得支付了上述適用的稅
費、關稅或其他政府徵收的費用，您同
意向佳士得退還該筆費用。
(c) 含有受保護動植物料的拍賣品
由瀕臨絕種及其他受保護野生動植物製
造或組成（不論分比率）的拍賣品在本
目錄中註有［~］號。
這些物料包括但不限於象牙、玳瑁殼、
鱷魚皮、犀牛角、鯨骨、某些珊瑚品種
及玫瑰木。若您有意將含有野生動物物
料的任何拍賣品進口至其他國家，您須
於競投該拍賣品之前了解有關海關法例
和規定。有些國家完全禁止含有這類物
料的物品進口，而其他國家則規定須向
出口及入口國家的有關管理機構取得許
可證。在有些情況下，拍賣品必須附有
獨立的物種的科學證明和/或年期證明，
方能裝運，而您須要自行安排上述證明
並負責支付有關的費用。如果一件拍賣
品含有象牙或其他可能和象牙相混淆的
野生動物材料（例如猛獁象牙，海象象
牙和犀鳥象牙）且您計劃將上述拍賣品
進口到美國，請查看 (c) 段中之重要信
息。如果您無法出口，進口該拍賣品或
因任何原因拍賣品被政府部門查收，我
們沒有義務因此取消您的交易並退回您
的購買款項。您應負責確定並滿足有關
含有上述物料拍賣品進出口的法律和規
例要求。
(d) 美國關於非洲象象牙的進口禁令
美國禁止非洲象象牙進口美國。如果一
件拍賣品含有象牙或其他可能和象牙相
混淆的野生材料（例如猛獁象牙，海象
象牙和犀鳥象牙），其必須通過受美國
漁業和野生動物保護局認可的嚴格科學
測試確認該物料非非洲象象牙後方可進
口美國。如果我們在拍賣前對拍賣品已
經進行了該嚴格科學測試，我們會在拍
賣品陳述中清楚表明。我們一般無法確
認相關拍賣品的象牙是否來自非洲象。
您凡購買有關拍賣品並計畫將有關拍賣
品進口美國，必須承擔風險並負責支付
任何科學測試或其他報告的費用。有關
測試並無定論或確定物料乃非洲象象
牙，不被視為取消拍賣和退回購買款項
的依據。
(e) 源自伊朗的拍賣品
一些國家禁止或限制購買和 / 或進口源
自伊朗的“傳統工藝作品”( 身份不明
確的藝術家作品及 / 或功能性作品。例
如：地毯、碗、大口水壺、瓷磚和裝飾
盒）。美國禁止進口以上物品亦禁止美
國民眾 ( 不論所在處 ) 購買以上物品。
有些國家，例如加拿大則允許在某特定
情况下可以進口上述物品。為方便買
方，佳士得在源自伊朗 ( 波期 ) 的拍賣
品下方特別注明。如您受以上制裁或貿
221
易禁運限制，您須確保您不會競投或進
口有關拍賣品，違反有關適用條例。
(f) 黃金
含量低於 18k 的黃金並不是在所有國家
均被視為「黃金」，並可能被拒絕入口。
(g) 鐘錶
本目錄內有些錶帶的照片顯示該手錶配
有瀕危及受保護動物 ( 如短吻鱷或鱷魚 )
的物料所製成的錶帶。這些拍賣品在本
目錄內的拍賣品編號旁以 Ψ 符號顯示。
這些錶帶只用來展示拍賣品並不作銷售
用途。在運送手錶到拍賣地以外的地點
