be without any liability whatsoever resulting from the exercise of the discretion referred to herein.

behalf or registered bidders. Neither the consignor nor an agent or representative of the consignor is allowed to bid on their own
property.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
Except for warranty of title, neither we nor the Consignor make any warranties, guarantees or representation, express or implied,
with respect to the Property, including, but not necessarily limited to, any implied warranty of “fitness for purpose” or “merchantability.”
Any and all statements and descriptions in any catalogue or elsewhere by MA, relating to age, attribution, authenticity, size, genuineness, provenance, historical relevance or significance, physical condition, importance, quality, quantity, rarity, period, culture, source or
origin, are presented as statements of qualified opinion only.
MA’s disclaimer of liability covers information contained in catalogues, and all other printed material published by us, including condition reports. Buyers assume the responsibility to inspect the Property and make their own decision as to the nature, quality and
value of the Property.
Neither MA nor the Consignor make any warranty or representation with regard to the existence of or the transfer of intellectual
property rights, except and to such extent as may, from time to time, be explicitly stated.
No employee of MA is authorized to nor shall make any warranty or representation on MA’s behalf, except as stated in the catalog

ESTIMATES OF VALUE
All estimates of value as published in our Catalogues or elsewhere are statements of qualified opinion as to the range of the price a
willing buyer might pay for the Property at auction. The actual price paid at auction or subsequently, may vary substantially from the
estimates. MA shall not be liable for any such differential.
BUYER’S DEFAULT
If a Buyer fails to pay for purchased Property, or otherwise does not comply with these Conditions of Sale, the Buyer shall be in
default. In addition to all remedies available in law, to MA and to the Consignor, the Buyer shall be liable for the entire Purchase
price. Additionally, at our option, we may either cancel the sale and retain all payments made by Buyer as well as retain any and all
Property of Buyer in our possession as security against payment of the sums in default, or we may re-offer the Property for sale, at
auction or privately, without reserve. Buyer shall be liable to us and the Consignor for the additional fees, commissions and costs on
both sales (including handling, storage and court costs and attorney’s fees) resulting from the cancellation or resale of the Property
and in the event of resale, any deficiency which may result.
RESCISSION
The sole and exclusive remedy, available only to the original buyer, is the limited right of rescission set forth herein. MA will cancel
the sale of Property if the original buyer establishes to our satisfaction that there has been a breach of the Consignor’s warranty of
title, or that the identification of Authorship* of the Property as set forth in Bold Type Heading is not substantially correct, based
on a fair reading of the Catalogue (as may be amended by posted or announced changes.) IN ALL INSTANCES, YOU MUST GIVE
WRITTEN NOTICE TO US WITHIN SIX (6) MONTHS OF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY, SETTING FORTH THE BASIS FOR
YOUR CLAIM AND, AT YOUR SOLE EXPENSE AND RISK, RETURN THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION TO MA WITHIN SEVEN (7)
DAYS AFTER NOTICE IS GIVEN AND IN THE SAME CONDITION AS WHEN SOLD. Upon review of the claim and the property,
if we are satisfied with the bases for your claim and the property is in the same condition it was in when sold, MA will rescind the
sale and return to you the Purchase price, unless we have already remitted funds to the Consignor. In that event, and at MA’s sole
discretion, MA shall either pay you as provided above, or shall pay you only that portion of the Purchase price retained by us (the
Seller’s commission, the buyer’s premium and any sales taxes collected) and on your behalf make demand on the Consignor for the
35
balance and upon receipt of the funds remit same to you. Should the Consignor refuse to return the funds to you or to MA, we
shall disclose the Consignor’s identity and assign to you any and all rights MA may have against the Consignor. Any and all liability
MA may have as agent for the Consignor shall thereupon terminate.
BUYER EXPRESSLY UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT MA SHALL HAVE NO OTHER LIABILITY TO THE BUYER EXCEPT
FOR THE RETURN OF THE PURCHASE PRICE AND THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL MA BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR COMPENSATORY DAMAGES OR LOSS OF PROFIT
OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.

to claims brought by the Buyer directly against the Consignor, including, but not limited to any action brought pursuant to the
rescission provisions noted above
OPTIONAL SHIPPING PROVISIONS
Shipping, insurance packaging and handling of purchased lots is at the risk and expense of the purchaser. As a service to the purchaser, MA may ship appropriate items solely via United Parcel Service, (UPS) Ground. MA will not ship by any other method including
USPS, and property requiring freight shipment. MA will, in no event insure the property whether or not packaged and shipped by
MA. MA shall not, under any circumstances, be liable for the loss, theft or damage to property, including, but not limited to selection
of shipper, the acts or omissions of any shipper or the acts or omissions occurring in packing for shipment. It is the purchaser’s
responsibility to obtain a shipping quote for any lot being offered, from an outside shipper, prior to the auction date. (As a courtesy,
MA may provide quotes for items to be shipped via UPS). Post sale determination of shipping costs does not constitute grounds for
cancellation of any purchase made at auction. Purchasers are advised that large and fragile items can be expensive and that MA will
ship no property without first obtaining consent from the purchaser and only after packing and shipping costs have been disclosed
by MA. When MA is to pack and ship, MA will provide to the bidder with a quote for cost of packing and handling and the UPS fee.
The Purchaser is responsible for any insurance of the shipment. Shipment will not be made until both all sums due MA including the
shipping and handling fees as quoted, and written confirmation is received that insurance has been waived or has been obtained by
purchaser. Shipment may take up to 21 days after payment is received.

If the parties agree, a mediator acceptable to the parties shall be selected. The mediator shall be an attorney, trained in mediation techniques and familiar with commercial law and the California Uniform Commercial
Code (UCC). The mediator’s fees shall be shared equally and paid by all parties. At the mediation, all parties shall have actual

arbitration shall occur within 60 days of the selection of the arbitrator, in either Oakland or San Francisco, California, unless the
parties agree to another location. Discovery and the procedure for the Arbitration shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties,
36

Definitions of Authorship:
This is to qualify the relationship between the object and the named person in the catalogue. The following conventions for attribution are used by Michaan’s Auctions:
Giovanni Bellini: 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 artists named.
Attributed to Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion probably a work by the artist but less certainty as to authorship is expressed
than in the preceding category.
Studio of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by an unknown hand in the studio of the artist, which may or may not have
been executed under the artist’s direction.
Circle of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by an as yet unidentified by distinct hand, closely associated with the named
artist but not necessarily his pupil.
Style of ......; follower of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work by a painter working in the artist’s style, contemporary or
near contemporary, but not necessarily his pupil.
Manner of Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date.
after Giovanni Bellini: In our opinion a copy of a known work of the artist.
The term signed and/or dated and/or inscribed means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription are from
the hand of the artist.
The term bears a signature and/or date and/or inscription means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription have been added by another hand.
“bearing signature...”/”bearing date...”/”bearing inscription...” In our opinion the signature/date/inscription is by a hand
other than that of the artist.

FURNITURE
George III Mahogany Chest of Drawers
Third Quarter 18th Century
This heading, with date included, means that the piece is, in our opinion, of the period indicated with no major alterations
or restorations.
George III Mahogany Chest of Drawers
This heading, without the inclusion of the date, indicates that, in our opinion, the piece, while basically of the period, has
undergone significant restoration and alteration.
George III Style Mahogany Chest of Drawers
The inclusion of the word “style” in the heading indicates that, in our opinion, the piece was made as an intentional reproduction of an earlier style.
BRONZES
Antoine-Louis Barye
This heading indicates that the casting and patination were done by the artist or with his direct authorization or supervision.
Cast After a Model by Antoine-Louis Barye
This heading indicates that the casting and patination of a known Barye model were done by another,
i.e., artisans at the F. Barbedienne or other foundry.
CERAMICS
Meissen Porcelain Cup and Saucer
Late 19th Century
This states that the cup and saucer were made at the Meissen factory in the last quarter of the 19th Century.
Meissen Porcelain Cup and a Saucer
Late 19th Century
Again, this states that the cup and saucer were made at the Meissen factory in the last quarter of the 19th Century, but it
also indicates that the cup and saucer may not have been “born” together.
Circa 1900
This states that the cup and saucer are of Meissen style, and although of the date specified, not necessarily made at the
Meissen factory.
‘Meissen’ Porcelain Cup and a Saucer
19th Century
This states that the cup and saucer are of Meissen style, and although of the date specified, not necessarily made at the
Meissen factory.
The title without a specific date simply states that the pieces were made at the Meissen factory but does not specify when,
implying that their age is questionable.
