A VERY LARGE AND IMPORTANT DOCUMENTARY BRONZE FIGURE OF A DEER
Dated to the tenth year of the Chenghua reign corresponding to 1474 and of the periodDeftly cast in a recumbent posture, the deer rests with its legs neatly folded alongside a powerfully modelled body, the surface delicately incised with spots arranged as five-petalled blossoms, the slender, gracefully arched neck twists sharply backward as the open jaws grasp a sprig of auspicious lingzhi, its alert, almond-shaped eyes, pricked ears, and finely rendered antlers conveying a lively naturalism, while a sprig of ripe peaches rests by the tail, the underside of the front legs bearing inscriptions within cartouches, the right leg reading Liu Dingzhi zhi (made by Liu Dingzhi), and the left inscribed Chenghua shi nian (Tenth year of Chenghua), the bronze of dark brown tone and richly patinated, further enhanced with traces of cinnabar lacquer red and green splashes. 45cm (17 3/4in) long.
明成化十年（1474） 銅銜芝臥鹿 「成化十年」「劉定之製」款Provenance:An American private collection, FloridaSotheby's New York, 18 September 1996, lot 145來源：美國佛羅里達州私人收藏紐約蘇富比，1996年9月18日，拍品編號145Exceptionally rare both in scale and documentation, this finely cast bronze deer bears an eight-character inscription beneath the forelegs, Chenghua shi nian, Liu Dingzhi zhi, dating the sculpture to the tenth year of the Chenghua reign (1466). Few Chinese animal bronzes of the Ming dynasty are known that combine such monumental scale and sophisticated naturalistic modelling with a precise date. The inscription therefore gives the present sculpture an unusual historical significance, providing a rare fixed point for the study of 15th century bronze casting. Its substantial scale, quiet poise and sensitive modelling convey an unusual sense of dignity and restraint, demonstrating the ability of Ming bronze craftsmen to translate a living animal into a monumental sculptural form.The rarity of the present work becomes particularly apparent when considered alongside other dated Chenghua bronzes. Only one other Chenghua-dated representation of a deer appears to be recorded: a Longquan celadon cup supported by a deer from the Jack Chia collection, which was sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 5 November 1996, lot 642, and subsequently at Christie's Hong Kong, 30 November 2011, lot 3021. Its base has the inscription Chenghua nian Longquan zao ('Made at Longquan in the Chenghua period'). Chenghua-dated metalwork is itself exceptionally uncommon. Compare with two bronze incense burners with the Da Ming Chenghua nian Wan jia zao mark ('Made by the Wan family in the Chenghua reign'), one formerly in the Water, Pine and Stone Retreat collection, which was sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 4 April 2012, lot 158, and another in the Musée Cernuschi, Paris, illustrated by S.Jenyns and W.Watson, Chinese Art: The Minor Arts, London, 1963, p.137, pl.60, and M.Maucuer, Bronzes de la Chine Impériale des Song aux Qing, Paris, 2013, no.73. A dated gilt-bronze Buddhist sculpture of the period is the figure of Sakyamuni (32cm high) in the British Museum, London, whose dedicatory inscription dates it to 1467, illustrated by Ulrich von Schroeder, Indo-Tibetan Bronzes, Hong Kong, 1981, p.529, fig.150F.The inscription of the present deer may be read either as 'Made by Liu Dingzhi in the tenth year of the Chenghua period' or 'Made for Liu Dingzhi'. The Mingshi, compiled by Zhang Tingyu, records a scholar-official of this name (1409–1469), renowned for his literary accomplishments, who rose to Assistant Minister of Rites in 1468 and was posthumously elevated to Minister of Rites. Although the identification cannot be established with certainty, the possibility that the inscription refers to this distinguished official adds a further dimension to the sculpture, suggesting that it may have been commissioned in connection with an individual of considerable status.The deer itself possesses an exceptionally long and distinguished history in Chinese art. An early and remarkable example is the lacquered wood figure of a reclining sika deer excavated in 1978 from the tomb of the Marquis Yi of Zeng, dating to the late Spring and Autumn period, illustrated in Zhongguo Wenwu Qinghua Da Cidian: Jinyin yu Shiquan, Shanghai, 1996, p.153, pl.004. The continued appearance of the deer across the following centuries demonstrates the enduring appeal of the animal as both a naturalistic subject and an auspicious symbol. Examples occur in Song Cizhou ware; see for example, J.Wirgin, Sung Ceramic Designs, Stockholm, 1970, pl.42; Song silver, see B.Gyllensv?rd, Chinese Gold and Silver in the Carl Kempe Collection, Stockholm, 1953, pl.138, Liao painting, including Deer in an Autumnal Wood in the Palace Museum, Taipei; see L.Sickman and A.Soper, The Art and Architecture of China, 1956, p.239, pl.164, and Yuan blue and white porcelain, such as the jar which was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 30 May 2006, lot 1384, depicting a deer turning towards lingzhi growing among rocks.The deer carried particularly auspicious associations in Chinese culture. The word lu (鹿), 'deer', is a homophone for lu (祿), meaning emolument or official salary, making the animal an established visual pun for rank, prosperity and advancement. Its association with longevity is equally important, reinforced by its traditional connection with the lingzhi fungus, the miraculous herb of immortality, which the present deer holds gently in its mouth. By the Ming and Qing periods, the deer was increasingly incorporated into imagery of longevity, most notably in representations of Shoulao, the Daoist deity of longevity, where the animal commonly accompanies the deity as an auspicious attendant. Related late Ming bronzes depicting Shoulao with a deer, including incense burners in which the deity and deer are incorporated into the vessel design, demonstrate how the animal could function simultaneously as a naturalistic motif and as a bearer of wishes for longevity, prosperity and high rank.The present deer thus stands at the intersection of two enduring traditions: the representation of the animal as a highly refined naturalistic subject and its increasingly elaborate auspicious symbolism. From the lacquered deer of the Marquis Yi of Zeng through Song, Liao and Yuan representations, and ultimately the longevity imagery of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the deer remained one of the most resonant animal motifs in Chinese art. Against this exceptionally long tradition, the present sculpture is distinguished by its monumental scale, remarkable naturalism and, above all, the rare survival of a precise contemporary date. Its combination of documentary importance, technical accomplishment and auspicious meaning makes it an exceptional example of mid-Ming bronze sculpture.Compare with a naturalistically cast gilt-bronze 'duck' incense burner and cover, Xuande six-character mark and of the period, which was sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 8 April 2014, lot 85.此銅鹿體量碩大，鑄造精良，且前腿下帶「成化十年」、「劉定之製」款，明確斷代於成化十年（1474年），在傳世與文獻記載中極罕。明代大型銅雕動物之中，兼具寫實風格與確切紀年者屈指可數，使本品在十五世紀銅雕藝術研究中成為珍貴之定年標尺。其體量宏偉、姿態靜穆、造型細膩，展現明代銅匠將寫實動物轉化為具紀念性雕塑之功力。本品之珍稀，可由其他成化朝署年款銅器相較而益顯。成化署年款鹿形器似僅見另一例：Jack Chia舊藏一件龍泉青釉爵祿封侯盃，其底部刻「成化年龍泉造」楷書款，售於香港蘇富比，1996年11月5日，拍品編號642，後再售於香港佳士得，2011年11月30日，拍品編號3021。成化署年款金屬器本身已屬極罕，可比對兩件「大明成化年萬家造」款銅香爐，一為水松石山房舊藏，售於香港蘇富比，2012年4月4日，拍品編號158；另一件藏於巴黎賽努奇博物館，見S.Jenyns與W.Watson著《Chinese Art: The Minor Arts》，倫敦，1963年，頁137，圖版60，及M.Maucuer著《Bronzes de la Chine Impériale des Song aux Qing》，巴黎，2013年，編號73。至於成化朝紀年之銅鎏金佛像，參考倫敦大英博物館藏一件1467年款之釋迦牟尼像（高32厘米），見施羅德，《Indo-Tibetan Bronzes》，香港，1981年，頁529，圖150F。至於劉定之，據張廷玉編《明史》，當中載有同名文臣，生卒年1409–1469，以文學才華著稱，於1468年擢升禮部侍郎，身後追贈禮部尚書。雖無法確證所指即為此人，然若屬實，則此鹿或與一位地位顯赫之人物相關，增添歷史深度。鹿之形象在中國藝術中源遠流長，早見於1978年湖北隨州曾侯乙墓出土之戰國晚期漆木臥鹿，見《中國文物精華大辭典：金銀玉石卷》，上海，1996年，頁153，圖版004。此後歷代不衰，可見鹿既是寫實的描繪對象，也是吉祥的象徵，千百年來始終受人喜愛。其他門類包括宋代磁州窯（見J.Wirgin，《Sung Ceramic Designs》，斯德哥爾摩，1970年，圖版42）、宋代銀器（見B.Gyllensv?rd，《Chinese Gold and Silver in the Carl Kempe Collection》，斯德哥爾摩，1953年，圖版138）、遼代繪畫（包括台北故宮藏《秋林群鹿圖》，見L.Sickman與A.Soper，《The Art and Architecture of China》，1956年，頁239，圖版164），以及元代青花瓷（如香港佳士得2006年5月30日售出之青花鹿銜靈芝紋罐，拍品編號1384，繪一鹿回首望向石間靈芝），皆可見鹿之形象。鹿在中國文化中承載著尤為深厚的祥瑞意涵。「鹿」與「祿」諧音，而「祿」意指官職俸祿，故鹿很自然地成為官運、財富與仕途晉升之雙關。本鹿口銜靈芝，又寓意長壽。至明清時期，鹿常出現在長壽題材裏，尤其與壽老結伴出現。明代晚期相關銅器，如將壽老與鹿融入器形設計之香爐，正可說明鹿如何兼具寫實題材與長壽、富貴、高官等祝願之雙重功能。本品正處於兩大悠久傳統之交匯點：一是將鹿作為寫實對象，二是其日益豐富之吉祥象徵意涵。從曾侯乙墓之漆鹿，歷經宋、遼、元各代之詮釋，至明清長壽題材，鹿始終是中國藝術中最具感染力之動物母題之一。本品體量宏偉，生動寫實，以及尤為難得之確切紀年，堪稱明代中期銅雕藝術之傑出典範。比較一件銅鎏金鴨形蓋爐，帶宣德六字款，售於香港蘇富比，2014年4月8日，拍品編號85。

HK/ONLINE/TERMS&CONDITIONS/V1/8.2026 IMPORTANT These terms and conditions apply to all online bidding at online-only auction Sales conducted by or in conjunction with Bonhams (“Online Sales” and “Online Bidding”). Information applicable to the Sale may also be set out in the Online Sales Catalogue and/or in Special Notices on our website, and it is your responsibility to review that information. BY REGISTERING TO PARTICIPATE IN A BONHAMS ONLINE SALE, AND/OR BY BIDDING IN SUCH SALE, YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE TO: • THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS INCLUDING THE LIMITATIONS OF OUR AND THE SELLER’S LIABILITY CONTAINED THEREIN; • THE SELLER’S CONTRACT FOR SALE, SET OUT AT APPENDIX 1 BELOW; • THE BUYER’S AGREEMENT WITH BONHAMS. SET OUT AT APPENDIX 2 BELOW; • THE NOTICE TO BIDDERS IN ONLINE SALES; • SUCH INFORMATION AS IS MADE AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE FOR THE ONLINE SALE; AND • THE BONHAMS CONDITIONS OF WEBSITE USE. References in this document to “Bonhams”, “we” or “us” mean Bonhams 1793 Limited, Bonhams & Butterfields Auctioneers Corporation, or (if different) the other Bonhams Group company that is conducting the relevant Sale and any successors and assigns thereto. References herein to “you” and “your” mean the person or entity registering to bid, bidding or buying in an Online Sale. Where words and phrases are used which are in the List of Definitions at the end of these Terms and Conditions, they are printed in italics. A. OUR ROLE A1. In its role as Auctioneer of Lots, Bonhams acts solely for and in the interests of the Seller. Bonhams’ role is to sell the Lot at the highest price obtainable at the Sale to a Bidder. Bonhams does not act for or give advice to Buyers or Bidders in this role. The Contract for Sale for a Lot is with the Seller and not with Bonhams; Bonhams acts as the Seller’s agent only (unless Bonhams sells the Lot as principal). Bonhams undertakes no obligation to Bidders or the Buyer to examine, investigate or carry out any tests, either in sufficient depth or at all, on each Lot to establish the accuracy or otherwise of any Descriptions or opinions given by Bonhams, or by any person on Bonhams’ behalf, whether in the Catalogue or elsewhere. Bidders and the Buyer should not suppose that such examinations, investigations or tests have occurred. Bonhams does not make or agree to make any representation of fact, and undertakes no obligation or duty (whether in contract or tort) in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any statement or representation made by Bonhams or on Bonhams’ behalf which is in any way descriptive of any Lot or as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot. No statement or representation by Bonhams or on its behalf in any way descriptive of any Lot or any Estimate is incorporated into our Buyer’s Agreement. A2. The Seller has authorised Bonhams to sell the Lot as its agent on its behalf and, save where expressly made clear to the contrary, Bonhams acts only as agent for the Seller. If a Bidder successfully bids for a Lot and buys it, at that stage Bonhams enters into an agreement with the Buyer on the terms set out in our Buyer’s Agreement, at Appendix 2. Other than as set out in our Buyer’s Agreement, Bonhams does not owe or undertake or agree to any duty or responsibility to the Buyer in contract or tort (whether direct, collateral, express, implied or otherwise). A3. The Seller does not make or agree to make any representation of fact or contractual promise, guarantee or warranty and undertakes no obligation or duty, whether in contract or in tort (other than to the eventual Buyer concerning the Catalogue Description), in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any statement or representation made by him or on his behalf, which is in any way descriptive of any Lot or as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot. Other than as above, no statement or representation in any way descriptive of a Lot or any Estimate is incorporated into any Contract for Sale between a Seller and a Buyer. B. LOTS B1. Subject to the Contractual Description printed in bold or upper case letters in the Entry about the Lot in the Online Sales Catalogue (see Section C below), Lots are likely to be second-hand, of varying condition, offered for the purpose of display or appreciation as objects only and are sold to the Buyer on an “as is” basis, with all faults and imperfections. Illustrations and photographs of any Lots are for identification purposes only. A photograph or illustration may not reflect an accurate reproduction of the colour(s) or true condition of the Lot. It is for you to satisfy yourself as to each and every aspect of a Lot, including its authorship, attribution, condition, provenance, history, background, authenticity, style, period, age, suitability, quality, roadworthiness (if relevant), origin, value and Estimated selling price (including the Hammer Price). Further information about our Lot Descriptions and limitations of Bonhams’ liability is set out in Section L.2 below. B2. It is your responsibility to take independent advice about a Lot in which you are interested. It should be remembered that the actual condition of a Lot may not be as good as that indicated by its outward appearance. In particular, parts may have been replaced or renewed and Lots may not be of satisfactory quality; the inside of a Lot may not be visible and may not be original or may be damaged, as for example where it is covered by upholstery or material. Given the age of many Lots, they may have been damaged and/ or repaired and you should not assume that a Lot is in good condition. B3. Electronic or mechanical items or parts are sold for their artistic, historic or cultural interest and may not operate or may not comply with current statutory requirements. You should not, and must not, assume that electrical items designed to operate on mains electricity will be suitable for connection to the mains electricity supply and you should obtain a report from a qualified electrician on their status before doing so. Such items which are unsuitable for connection are sold as items of interest for display purposes only. B4. If you yourself do not have expertise regarding a Lot, you should consult someone who does to advise you. C. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS AND ESTIMATES C1. Contractual Description of a Lot. The Online Sales Catalogue contains an Entry about each Lot. Each Lot is sold by its respective Seller to the Buyer of the Lot as corresponding only with that part of the Entry which is printed in bold or upper case letters (except for the colour, which may be inaccurately reproduced) in the Online Sales Catalogue. The remainder of the Entry, which is not printed in bold or upper case letters, represents Bonhams’ opinion (given on behalf of the Seller) about the Lot only and is not part of the Contractual Description in accordance with which the Lot is sold by the Seller. C2. In most cases, an Estimate is printed beside the Entry. Estimates are only an expression of Bonhams’ opinion made on behalf of the Seller of the range where Bonhams thinks the Hammer Price for the Lot is likely to fall; it is not an estimate of value. It does not take into account any VAT or Buyer’s Premium payable or any other fees payable by the Buyer, which are detailed in paragraph 7 of the Notice to Bidders in Online Sales. Prices depend upon bidding and Lots can sell for Hammer Prices below and above the Estimates, so Estimates should not be relied on as an indication of the actual selling price or value of a Lot. Estimates are in the currency of the Sale. C3. Lots in the Online Sale can be of varying ages and with diverse histories of use and storage; their condition can therefore vary considerably. You may ask Bonhams for a Condition Report on the Lot’s general physical condition. If you do so, this will be provided by Bonhams on behalf of the Seller free of charge. As this is offered additionally and without charge, Bonhams is not entering into a contract with you in respect of the Condition Report and accordingly does not assume responsibility to you in respect of it, and you should refer to Section L below for Bonhams’ exclusions of liability concerning Lot Descriptions, online images and Condition Reports. C4. The Condition Report represents Bonhams’ reasonable opinion as to the Lot’s general condition in the terms stated in the particular report, and Bonhams does not represent or guarantee that a Condition Report includes all aspects of the internal or external condition of the Lot. Neither does the Seller owe or agree to owe you as a Bidder or Buyer any obligation or duty in respect of this free report about a Lot. D. Registration D1. In order to bid in an Online Sale, you must be 18 or over and you must register to bid via the Bonhams App or www.bonhams.com.

E5. You authorise us to carry out such processes and tests on the Lot as we in our absolute discretion consider necessary to satisfy ourselves that the Lot is or is not a Forgery. E6.

P. EU CONSUMER CANCELLATION RIGHTS P1. Right to Cancel the Purchase. If you are a Consumer in accordance with the EU Consumer Rights Directive and habitually reside in the European Union, and the Seller is not a Consumer (as identified in the Online Sales Catalogue), you have the right to cancel the contract for the purchase of a Lot, without giving any reason. Sellers who are Consumers will be identified as private individuals in the entry for the Lot. P2. The cancellation period will expire 14 calendar days from the day after the date on which you, or a third party (other than the carrier and indicated by you) acquires, physical possession of the Lot. HK/ONLINE/TERMS&CONDITIONS/V1/8.2026 P3. To exercise the right to cancel you must inform Bonhams, who are offering to sell the Lot either as agent for the Seller or as the owner of the Lot, of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. by post or e-mail). You may use the model cancellation forms set out in paragraph P6 below, but this is not obligatory. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired. P4. Effects of cancellation (i) If you cancel the contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery but not any extra costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us; or any import duties we incur as a result of you returning the Lot to us. (ii) We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Lots supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. (iii) We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than: 14 calendar days after the day we receive back from you any Lot supplied; or (if earlier) 14 calendar days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the Lot. (iv) We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise (but reimbursement will always be to an account solely in your name); in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the Lot back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the Lot, whichever is earliest. (v) You shall send back the Lot or return it over to us at such address as we may specify for the purpose, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 calendar days from the day after on which you communicate your cancellation from these Conditions of Sale to us. (vi) The deadline is met if you send back the Lot before the period of 14 calendar days has expired. (vii) You will have to bear the direct costs of returning the Lot. If we arranged for the Lot to be delivered we Estimate that the cost returning the Lot by the same means is likely to be similar to the cost of delivery, but it is not possible for us to be more accurate as to this cost due to the many variables involved in our worldwide business model and the means by which a return might be made. (viii) You are only liable for any diminished value of the Lot resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Lot. P5. Right to cancel the contract for services. If you are a Consumer in accordance with the EU Consumer Rights Directive and habitually live in the European Union, and we have notified you that you are purchasing the Lot from a Consumer, you have the right to cancel the contract for services Bonhams provides to you in connection with your purchase of a Lot, but not to cancel the contract for the purchase of the Lot itself. Bonhams’ services consist of: the opportunity to participate in the Online Sale, to be introduced to Lots for Sale which may be of interest, to view images and other information about such Lots, and any delivery service for any Lot which you purchase and which is to be delivered pursuant to an agreement with Bonhams). (i) You have the right to cancel the contract for this service within 14 calendar days from the day of conclusion of the contract, without giving any reason. (ii) The cancellation period will expire after 14 calendar days from the day of the conclusion of the contract. (iii) To exercise the right to cancel you must inform the Bonhams company which offers to sell the Lot either as agent for the Seller or as the owner of the Lot, of your decision to cancel this service by a clear statement (e.g. by post or e-mail). You may use the model cancellation form set out in paragraph P7 below, but it is not obligatory. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired. (iv) You request Bonhams immediately to begin the performance of its services (including any agreed arrangements for delivery) during the cancellation period described above. If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you any payments received from you in respect of the service. However, since you have requested us to begin the performance of services during the cancellation period, you shall pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been performed until you have communicated us your cancellation from this contract, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.

For ease of reference we refer to such persons as “Bidders” or “you”. Our List of Definitions and Glossary is set out at the end of this Notice. Words and phrases printed in italics in this Notice are explained in the List of Definitions. The Glossary explains certain general legal terms with which you might not be familiar. IMPORTANT: The terms and conditions applicable to the Sale and related information are contained in the following documents, available on the Bonhams Website under “Legals”: • This Notice to Online Bidders; • The Online Bidding Terms and Conditions for the Sale; • The Buyer’s Contract for Sale with the Seller, at Appendix 1; • The Buyer’s Agreement with Bonhams, at Appendix 2. Additional information applicable to the Sale may also be set out with each Lot, elsewhere in the Online Sales Catalogue and/or a notice displayed on the Website. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have read all relevant terms and notices before bidding in the Sale. 1. OUR ROLE In its role as Auctioneer of Lots, Bonhams is authorised by the Seller to act solely for and in the interests of the Seller and Bonhams’ role is to sell the Lot at the highest price obtainable at the Sale to a Bidder. Bonhams does not act for Buyers or Bidders in this role and does not give advice to Buyers or Bidders. Please refer to Section A of the Online Bidding Terms and Conditions. 2. LOTS FOR SALE Given the age of many Lots, they may have been damaged and/or repaired and you should not make any assumptions about the condition or any other aspect of a Lot. If you yourself do not have expertise regarding a Lot, you should consult someone who does to advise you. It is your responsibility to take appropriate advice on and satisfy yourself as to the attributes of any Lot in which you are interested. 3. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS AND ESTIMATES Contractual Description of a Lot Each Lot is sold by the respective Seller to the Buyer of the Lot as corresponding only with: (i) the Contractual Description, being that part of the Entry which is printed in bold or upper case letters, and (ii) (except for the colour, which may be inaccurately reproduced) with any photograph of the Lot in the Online Sales Catalogue. The remainder of the Entry, which is not printed in bold or upper case letters, represents Bonhams’ opinion (given on behalf of the Seller) about the Lot only and is not part of the Contractual Description in accordance with which the Lot is sold by the Seller. Paragraphs 15-25 below set out important information about the following categories of Lot: Books, Clocks and Watches, Firearms, Taxidermy and Related Items, Furniture, Jewellery, Photographs, Pictures, Porcelain and Glass, Vehicles and Wine. Please refer to Section B of the Online Bidding Terms and Conditions for important legal provisions underpinning Lot descriptions, cataloguing practices and issues such as condition of old, used, repaired and restored items, and for Bonhams’ obligations and limitations of liability in respect of lot descriptions and cataloguing practice. Forgeries Guarantee Bonhams offers a guarantee to cover Forgeries on the terms set out in Section E of the Online Bidding terms and Conditions. Otherwise, Lots are sold to the Buyer on an “as is” basis, with all faults and imperfections. Estimates Where Estimates are provided, they are only an expression of Bonhams’ opinion made on behalf of the Seller of the range where Bonhams thinks the Hammer Price for the Lot is likely to fall; they are not an estimate of value. Estimates do not take into account any VAT or Buyer’s Premium or any other fees payable by the Buyer, which are detailed in paragraph 7 of this Notice. Prices depend upon bidding and lots can sell for Hammer Prices below and above the Estimates, so Estimates should not be relied on as an indication of the actual selling price or value of a Lot. Estimates are in the currency of the Sale. Condition Reports In respect of most Lots, you may request a Condition Report representing Bonhams’ reasonable opinion as to the Lot’s general condition (without disassembly or any form of testing) in the terms stated in the particular report. This is offered on behalf of the Seller to you additionally without charge and Bonhams is not entering into a contract with you in respect of the Condition Report; Bonhams accepts no responsibility to you for it and does not represent or guarantee that a Condition Report includes all aspects of the internal or external condition of the Lot. Neither does the Seller owe or agree to owe you as a Bidder or Buyer any obligation or duty in respect of this free report. Alterations Descriptions and Estimates may be amended at Bonhams’ discretion from time to time by notice amending the Online Sales Catalogue or on the Website before or during a Sale, up until Lot Closing for the relevant Lot. You are advised to monitor Lots in which you are interested throughout the Sale. 4.

BIDDING So long as you have pre-registered to bid and your account is in order, you will be able to place bids on Lots during the bidding period indicated for each Lot, either by placing your next bid using the increments indicated or by placing a maximum bid to indicate the most you would be prepared to bid (excluding Buyer’s Premium and applicable taxes which would be in addition to your bid). If you leave a maximum bid, the system will automatically place incremental bids on your behalf in response to other bids, until either there are no other bids or your maximum bid has been reached. If you attempt to place a bid which is lower than another bid already placed for that Lot, then your bid will be rejected and you will be offered the opportunity to place a higher bid. We will endeavour to email you in the event you are outbid, but you are advised to monitor your bids throughout the Sale.

No bids will be accepted after Lot Closing for the Lot concerned; however, in the event a bid has been placed within 5 minutes of the predicted Lot Closing, then the period for bidding on that Lot will be extended by five minutes. Section F of the Online Bidding Terms and Conditions contains information, procedures, rules and obligations connected with placing online bids in the Sale. You should also refer to Section G of the Online Bidding Terms and Conditions for the warranties you give as a Bidder and Buyer. We reserve the rights to postpone completion of the Sale of any Lot at our discretion while we complete our registration and identification enquiries, and to cancel the Sale of any Lot if you are in breach of your warranties as Buyer, or if we consider that such Sale would be unlawful or otherwise cause liabilities for the Seller or Bonhams or be detrimental to Bonhams’ reputation. In the event you are the successful bidder on a Lot or Lots, we will send you an invoice confirming your purchase and providing you with instructions as to payment. Bidding through an agent Bids will be treated as placed exclusively by and on behalf of the person registered to bid unless otherwise agreed by us in writing in advance of the Sale.

EXPORT/TRADE RESTRICTIONS It is your sole responsibility to comply with all Hong Kong export and oversears mport regulations relating to your purchases and also to obtain any relevant export and/or import licence(s). The need for export and import licences varies from country to country and you should acquaint yourself with all relevant local requirements and provisions. The refusal of any import or export licence(s) or any delay in obtaining such licence(s) shall not permit the rescission of any Sale nor allow any delay in making full payment for the Lot. From 28 June 2025, the import into the EU of nonEU origin property of a certain age (and in some categories above a certain value) into the EU is subject to additional requirements. Under the relevant EU Regulation, it is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to assess whether any Lot meets the criteria for import into the EU. The refusal of any required Importer Licence or Importer Statement, or any delay in obtaining such Licence or Statement shall not give rise to the rescission or cancellation of any Sale, nor allow any delay in making full payment for the Lot. 13. CITES REGULATIONS Buyers are advised to check the regulations applicable to Hong Kong exportation and overseas importation when exporting any goods from Hong Kong to the place of importation. Buyers should also be aware that the export from Hong Kong of any items made of or incorporating ivory, whalebone, tortoiseshell, rhinoceros horn, coral and other restricted materials is prohibited unless a CITES export licence is obtained from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department for Hong Kong, A period of 8 weeks may be required for the purposes of obtaining such export licence. Please be aware that all Lots marked with the symbol Y contain one or more of the aforesaid restricted materials. However, the omission of such letter Y does not automatically mean that the Lot is not subject to CITES regulations. Buyers are advised to obtain information from the relevant regulatory authorities regarding export and import restrictions, requirements and costs prior to bidding. The refusal of any CITES licence or permit and any delay in obtaining such licences or permits shall not give rise to the rescission or cancellation of any Sale, nor allow any delay in making full payment for the Lot. 14. THE SELLERS AND/OR BONHAMS’ LIABILITY Exclusions and limitations of the Seller’s and Bonhams’ liability are set out in Section L of the Online Bidding Terms and Conditions. Additionally, exclusions and limitations of the Seller’s liability are set out at Clause 9 of the Contract of Sale and of Bonhams’ Liability at Clause 10 of the Buyer’s Contract. 15. BOOKS As stated above, all Lots are sold on an “as is” basis, subject to all faults, imperfections and errors of Description save as set out below. However, you will be entitled to reject a Book in the circumstances concerning “non-conforming Lots” set out in paragraph 11 of the Buyers Agreement. 16. CLOCKS AND WATCHES All Lots are sold “as is”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply that the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches have been repaired in the course of their normal lifetime and may now incorporate parts not original to them. Furthermore, Bonhams makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. 17. FURNITURE Upholstered Furniture Whilst we take every care in cataloguing furniture which has been upholstered, we offer no Guarantee as to the originality of the wood covered by fabric or upholstery. 18. JEWELLERY Gemstones Historically many gemstones have been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance. Sapphires and rubies are routinely heat treated to improve their colour and clarity, similarly emeralds are frequently treated with oils or resin for the same purpose. Other treatments such as staining, irradiation or coating may have been used on other gemstones. These treatments may be permanent, whilst others may need special care or re-treatment over the years to retain their appearance. Bidders should be aware that Estimates assume that gemstones may have been subjected to such treatments. A number of laboratories issue certificates that give more detailed Descriptions of gemstones. However, there may not be consensus between different laboratories on the degrees, or types of treatment for any particular gemstone. In the event that Bonhams has been given or has obtained certificates for any Lot in the Sale these certificates will be disclosed in the Catalogue. Although, as a matter of policy, Bonhams endeavours to provide certificates from recognised laboratories for certain gemstones, it is not feasible to obtain certificates for each Lot. In the event that no certificate is published in the Catalogue, Bidders should assume that the gemstones may have been treated. Neither Bonhams nor the Seller accepts any liability for contradictions or differing certificates obtained by Buyers on any Lots subsequent to the Sale. Estimated Weights If a stone(s) weight appears within the body of the Description in capital letters, the stone(s) has been unmounted and weighed by Bonhams. If the weight of the stone(s) is stated to be approximate and does not appear in capital letters, the stone(s) has been assessed by us within its/their settings, and the stated weight is a statement of our opinion only. This information is given as a guide and Bidders should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy. Signatures • A diamond brooch, by Kutchinsky When the maker’s name appears in the title, in Bonhams’ opinion the piece is by that maker. • A diamond brooch, signed Kutchinsky Has a signature that, in Bonhams’ opinion, is authentic but may contain gemstones that are not original, or the piece may have been altered. • A diamond brooch, mounted by Kutchinsky Has been created by the jeweller, in Bonhams’ opinion, but using stones or designs supplied by the client. 19. PHOTOGRAPHS Explanation of Catalogue Terms • “Bill Brandt”: in our opinion a work by the artist. • “Attributed to Bill Brandt”: in our opinion probably a work by the artist, but less certainty to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category. • “Signed and/or titled and/or dated and/or inscribed”: in our opinion the signature and/ or title and/or date and/or inscription are in the artist’s hand. • “Signed and/or titled and/or dated and/or inscribed in another hand”: in our opinion the signature and/or title and/or date and/or inscription have been added by another hand. The date given is that of the image (negative). Where no further date is given, this indicates that the photographic print is vintage (the term “vintage” may also be included in the Lot Description). A vintage photograph is one which was made within approximately 5-10 years of the negative. Where a second, later date appears, this refers to the date of printing. Where the exact printing date is not known, but understood to be later, “printed later” will appear in the Lot Description. Unless otherwise specified, dimensions given are those of the piece of paper on which the image is printed, including any margins. Some photographs may appear in the Catalogue without margins illustrated. All photographs are sold unframed unless stated in the Lot Description. 20. PICTURES Explanation of Catalogue Terms The following terms used in the Catalogue have the following meanings but are subject to the general provisions relating to Descriptions contained in the Contract for Sale: • “Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work by the artist. When the artist’s forename(s) is not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not, indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named; • “Attributed to Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion probably a work by the artist but less certainty as to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category; • “Studio/Workshop of Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work by an unknown hand in a studio of the artist which may or may not have been executed under the artist’s direction; • “Circle of Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work by a hand closely associated with a named artist but not necessarily his pupil; • “Follower of Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work by a painter working in the artist’s style, contemporary or nearly contemporary, but not necessarily his pupil; • “Manner of Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date; • “After Jacopo Bassano”: in our opinion, a copy of a known work of the artist; • “Signed and/or dated and/or inscribed”: in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription are from the hand of the artist; • “Bears a signature and/or date and/or inscription”: in our opinion the signature and/ or date and/or inscription have been added by another hand. 21. PORCELAIN AND GLASS Damage and Restoration For your guidance, in our Online Sales Catalogues we attempt to detail, as far as practicable, all significant defects, cracks and restoration. Such practicable Descriptions of damage cannot be definitive, and in providing Condition Reports, we cannot guarantee that there are no other defects present which have not been mentioned. Bidders should satisfy themselves by inspection, as to the condition of each Lot. Please see the Contract for Sale. Because of the difficulty in determining whether an item of glass has been repolished, in our Online Sales Catalogues reference is only made to visible chips and cracks. No mention is made of repolishing, severe or otherwise. 22. WINE Lots which are lying under Bond and those liable to VAT may not be available for immediate collection. Examining the wines It is occasionally possible to provide a pre-sale tasting for larger parcels (as defined below). This is generally limited to more recent and everyday drinking wines. Please contact the department for details. It is not our policy to inspect every unopened case. In the case of wines older than 20 years the boxes will usually have been opened and levels and appearance noted in the Online Sales Catalogue where necessary. You should make proper allowance for variations in ullage levels and conditions of corks, capsules and labels. Corks and Ullages Ullage refers to the space between the base of the cork and the wine. Ullage levels for Bordeaux shaped bottles are only normally noted when below the neck and for Burgundy, Alsace, German and Cognac shaped bottles when greater than 4 centimetres (cm). Acceptable ullage levels increase with age; generally acceptable levels are as follows: Under 15 years old – into neck or less than 4cm 15 to 30 years old – top shoulder (ts) or up to 5cm Over 30 years old – high shoulder (hs) or up to 6cm It should be noted that ullages may change between publication of the Online Sales Catalogue and the Sale and that corks may fail as a result of transporting the wine. We will only accept responsibility for Descriptions of condition at the time of publication of the Online Sales Catalogue and cannot accept responsibility for any loss resulting from failure of corks either before or after this point. Options to buy parcels A parcel is a number of Lots of identical size of the same wine, bottle size and Description. The Buyer of any of these Lots has the option to accept some or all of the remaining Lots in the parcel at the same price, although such options will be at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion. Absentee Bidders are, therefore, advised to bid on the first Lot in a parcel.
