CONDITIONS OF SALE
I. REJECTION OF BIDS: Any bid which is not commensurate with
the value of the article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional
advance, may be rejected by the auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would
be likely to affect the sale injuriously.
II. THE BUYER: The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any
dispute arises between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide
the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute.
III. IDENTIFICATION AND DEPOSIT BY BUYER: The name of the
buyer of each lot shall be given immediately on the sale thereof, and when so
required, each buyer shall sign a card giving the lot number, amount for
which sold, and his or her name and address.
A deposit at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part
of the purchase prices as may be required.
If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so
purchased may at the option of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold.
IV. RISK AFTER PURCHASE: ‘Title passes upon the fall of the
auctioneer’s hammer, and thereafter the property is at the purchaser’s risk,
and neither the consignor nor the Association is responsible for the loss of,
or any damage to any article by theft, fire, breakage, however occasioned, or
any other cause whatsoever.
V. DELIVERY OF PURCHASES: Delivery of any purchases will be
made only upon payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale.
VI. RECEIPTED BILLS: Goods will only be delivered on presentation
of a receipted bill. A receipted bill presented by any person will be recog-
nized and honored as an order by the buyer, directing the delivery to the
bearer of the goods described thereon. If a receipted bill is lost before
delivery of the property has been taken, the buyer should immediately notify
the Association of such loss.
VIl. STORAGE IN DEFAULT OF PROMPT PAYMENT AND
CALLING FOR GOODS: Articles not paid for in full and not called for by
the purchaser or agent by noon of the day following that of the sale may
be turned over by the Association to some carter to be carried to and stored
in some warehouse until the time of the delivery therefrom to the pur-
chaser, and the cost of such cartage and storage and any other charges will
be charged against the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned
by such removal or storage will be upon the purchaser.
In any instance where the purchase bill has not been paid in full by
noon of the day following that of the sale, the Association and the auctioneer
reserve the right, any other stipulation in these conditions of sale notwith-
standing, in respect to any or all lots included in the purchase bill, at its or
his option, either to cancel the sale thereof or to re-sell the same at public
or private sale without further notice for the account of the buyer and to
hold the buyer responsible for any deficiency and all losses and expenses sus-
tained in so doing.
VIII. SHIPPING: Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a busi-
ness in which the Association is in no wise engaged, but the Association will,
however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and
reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, without any assump-
tion of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged
for such service.
IX. GUARANTY: The Association exercises great care to catalogue
every lot correctly and endeavors therein and also at the actual time of sale
to point out any error, defect or imperfection, but guaranty 1s not made either
by the owner or the Association of the correctness of the description, genu-
ineness, authenticity or condition of any lot and no sale will be set aside on
account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing or imperfection not noted
or pointed out. Every lot is sold “as is” and without recourse. _
Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and
the Association will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert
to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its judg-
ment may thereafter sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion
of such expert, who thereby will become responsible for such damage as might
result were his opinion without foundation.
X. RECORDS: The records of the auctioneer and the Association are
in all cases to be considered final and the highest bid shall in all cases be
accepted by both buyer and seller as the value against which all claims for
losses or damage shall lie.
XI. BUYING ON ORDER: Buying or bidding by the Association for
responsible parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph, or tele-
phone, if conditions permit, will be faithfully attended to without charge or
commission. Any purchases so made will be subject to the foregoing condi-
tions of sale, except that, in the event of a purchase of a lot of one or more
books by or for a purchaser who has not through himself or-his agent been
present at the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be
returned within ten days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will
be refunded, if the lot differs from its catalogue description.
Orders for execution by the Association should be given with such clear-
ness as to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot num-
ber be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for
the lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects
of art, the bid per volume or piece should also be stated. If the one trans-
mitting the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit must be sent or
reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given.
PRICED CATALOGUES: Priced copies of the catalogue, or any session
thereof, will be furnished by the Association at charges commensurate with
the duties involved in copying the necessary information from the records of
the Association.
These conditions of sale cannot be altered except by the auctioneer or
by an officer of the Association.

FOREWORD
HE Chiesa Collection, Part III, now to be offered at
public sale by the American Art Association, Inc., com-
prises an important offering of some one hundred
majolicas from the principal Italian craft centres of the
XV and XVI centuries; exquisite French and Italian
carved ivories of the XIV and XV centuries; a small
group of Limoges and Italian enamels of the XVI century, early
Pisan wood carvings; two hundred superb velvets, brocades and
other fabrics from the Gothic period to the culmination of the
Venetian Renaissance; a small group of Milanese and Venetian laces
and a collection of Italian furniture of the XV and XVI centuries.
It forms an appropriate setting for and complement to Part II of
the Collection, composed of Italian primitives and Renaissance
paintings.
The majolicas are of great beauty, with many important speci-
mens of the Deruta, Gubbio, Castel Durante, Caffaggiolo and Ur-
bino wares, while in Hispano-Moresque fabric there are two rare
alberelli dating from the first half of the XV century. Two ex-
amples, one by Luca and the other by Giovanni della Robbia, are
exceedingly fine, the figure of St. John by the latter artist being a
truly beautiful expression of sentiment.
Among the Gothic and Renaissance carved ivories are fine dip-
tychs, plaquettes and small coffers of Embriachi art and a very rare
Italo-Byzantine cassetta of the XI-XII century, resembling the one
in the Carrand Collection in the Bargello at Florence and a very in-
teresting plaque of Carolingian workmanship of the IX century.
Two Gothic velvet chasubles with appliqué embroidery,
Broussa and other Gothic cut velvet hangings are features of the col-
lection of textiles, all of which it may be said are of superb quality.
The furniture is replete with fine examples, including a small
ByzantiMescircular table of the greatest rarity, three carved and
gilded walnut cassoni and a stipo a bambocci which is a perfect
specimen of its type. Among the sculptures is an exquisite figure
of the Madonna and Child, undoubtedly of the XIV century.
One of the most important objects in the collection is the ex-
tremely rare XVI century Persian manuscript, magnificently
illuminated; it is indeed a work of great beauty and artistic value.
