Capt. Exham Vincent (1782-1863) was a member of an ancient
English landed family, whose ancestor settled in Limerick in the late
17th century. His father was Limerick Alderman Exham Vincent and he
was born there in 1782, joined the army as an ensign 54th Regt. in
1799, and served in Egypt under General Sir Ralph Abercromby. He
later was commissioned, fighting in the Peninsula under Wellington
before being discharged in 1815. The medal in the picture may be
that issued to British Troops by the Khedive of Egypt. In later life he
owned a small estate at Cloonagaheen, Killokennedy, Co. Clare and
died, apparently unmarried at Reading in 1863. He wrote a journal of
his military experiences (Typescript copy in National Army Museum
7611-24).

NICHOLAS MELLORS AUCTIONEERS
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS
These Conditions of Sale and Business
constitute the contract between Nicholas
Mellors Auctioneers Limited and the seller,
on the one hand, and the buyer on the
other. By bidding at the auction, and/or
consigning to Nicholas Mellors Auctioneers
Limited, you agree to be bound by the
following terms.
Conditions of Sale
1. Definition
In these terms of business:
Nicholas Mellors Auctioneers Ltd is referred
to as ‘NMA’.
The NMA representative conducting the
auction is referred to as the ‘auctioneer’.
2. Agency
The auctioneer normally acts as agent only
and disclaims any responsibility for default
by sellers or buyers.
3. Terms of Sale
The seller acknowledges that lots are sold
subject to the stipulations of these
Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms
of Consignment.
4. Descriptions and Condition of Lots
Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy
of statements relating to authorship,
descriptions, origin, date, age, provenance
and condition of lots. Statements made
orally or in the catalogue are opinions given
after careful consideration and research.
Prospective buyers are given ample
opportunity to view lots before any sale.
When bidding, buyers acknowledge that
they are fully satisfied as to the description
and condition of the lot.
5. Attribution of Pictures
(a) If the forename(s) (or asterisks where
not known) and surname of the artist are
given, this indicates that in the opinion of
NMA the picture is a work by the named
artist.
(b) If the initials of the forename(s) and the
surname of the artist are given, this
indicates that in the opinion of NMA the
picture is a work of the period of the named
artist and may be wholly or in part his work.
(c) If the surname of the artist is given, this
indicates that in the opinion of NMA the
picture is a work of the same school of the
named artist, or by one of his followers, or
in his style and of uncertain date.
(d) The term ‘Bears signature’ indicates that
in the opinion of NMA this is not the
signature of the artist.
(e) All other terms are self-explanatory.
6. Forgeries
Notwithstanding Condition 4, any lot which
proves to be a deliberate forgery may be
returned to us by you within 21 days of the
auction provided it is in the same condition
as when bought, and is accompanied by
particulars identifying it from the relevant
catalogue description and a written
statement of defects. If we are satisfied
from the evidence provided that the lot is a
deliberate forgery we shall refund the
money paid by you for the lot including any
buyer’s premium.
7. Third Party Liability
Every person on NMA premises before,
during or after a sale shall be deemed to be
there at their own risk and shall have no
claim against NMA in respect of any injury
they may sustain or any accident which may
occur
8. Disputes
Any dispute not covered in these terms of
business will be settled at the sole
discretion of NMA.
9. General
We shall have the right at our discretion, to
refuse admission to our premises or
attendance at our auctions by any person.
a) Any right to compensation for losses
liabilities and expenses incurred in respect
of and as a result of any breach of the
Conditions and any exclusions provided by
them shall be available to the seller and/or
the auctioneer as appropriate.
b) Such rights and exclusions shall extend
to and be deemed to be for the benefit of
employees and agents of the seller and/or
the auctioneer who may themselves enforce
them.
Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or
viewer may be given by first class mail or
email in which case it shall be deemed to
have been received by the addressee 48
hours after posting.
Special terms may be used in catalogue
descriptions of particular classes of terms in
which case the descriptions must be
interpreted in accordance with any glossary
appearing at the commencement of the
catalogue.
Any indulgence extended to bidders, buyers
or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict
terms of the Conditions or of the Terms of
Consignment shall affect the position at the
relevant time only and in respect of that
particular concession only; in all other
respects these Conditions shall be
construed as having full force and effect.
English law applies to the interpretation of
these Conditions.
3. Commission
Commission is charged to sellers at a flat
rate of 10% plus VAT.
4. Removal Costs
Items for sale must be consigned to the
saleroom by the stated deadline and at your
expense. We may be able to assist you with
this process but any liability incurred to a
carrier for haulage charges is solely your
responsibility.
5. Loss and Damage of Goods
a) Loss and Damage Warranty – NMA is not
authorised by the FSA to provide insurance
to its clients and does not do so. However,
NMA for its own protection, assumes liability
for property consigned to it at the lower presale estimate until the hammer falls. To
justify accepting liability, NMA makes a
charge of 1% of the hammer price plus VAT.
The liability assumed by NMA shall be
limited to the lower pre-sale estimate or the
hammer price if the lot is sold.
b) If the owner of the goods consigned
instructs us in writing not to take such
action, the goods then remain entirely at the
owners risk unless and until the property in
them passes to the Buyer or they are
collected by or on behalf of the owner, and
clause 5(a) is inapplicable.
6. Illustrations
The cost of any illustrations (online and in
the catalogue) is borne by you. If we
consider that the lot should be illustrated
your permission will be asked first. The
copyright in respect of such illustrations
shall be the property of us, the auctioneers,
as is the text of the catalogue.
Terms of Consignment for
Sellers
7. Minimum Bids and Our Discretion
Goods will normally be offered subject to a
reserve agreed between us before the sale
in accordance with clause 8. We may sell
lots below the reserve provided we can
account to you for the same sale proceeds
as you would have received had the reserve
been the hammer price. If you specifically
give us a “discretion” we may accept a bid
of up to 10% below the formal reserve. Lots
with no reserves will be sold for the best
price possible on the day of the sale.
1. Interpretation
In these Terms the words ‘you’, ‘yours’, etc.
refer to the Seller and if the consignment of
goods to us is made by an agent we
assume that the Seller has authorised the
consignment and that the consignor has the
Seller’s authority to contract. Similarly the
words ‘we’, ‘us’ etc. refer to Nicholas
Mellors Auctioneers Ltd.
2. Warranty
The Seller warrants that possession in the
lots can be transferred to the Buyer with
good and marketable title, free from any
third party right and encumbrances, claims
or potential claims. The Seller has provided
all information concerning the items
ownership, condition and provenance,
attribution, authenticity, import or export
history and of any concerns expressed by
third parties concerning the same.
8. Reserves
a) You are entitled to place prior to the
auction a reserve on any lot consigned,
being the minimum hammer price at which
that lot may be sold. Reserves must be
reasonable and we may decline to offer
goods which in our opinion would be
subject to unreasonably high reserves {in
which case goods carry the storage
(Condition 17) and loss damage warranty
(Condition 5(a) charges as stipulated in
these Terms of Consignment}.
b) A reserve once set cannot be changed
except with our consent.
c) Where a reserve has been placed only
we may bid on your behalf and only up to
the reserve (if any) and you may in no
circumstances bid personally.
d) Reserves are not usually accepted for
lots expected to realise below £100.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS
9. Electrical Items
These are subject to detailed statutory
safety controls. Where such items are
accepted for sale you accept responsibility
for the cost of testing by external
contractors. Goods not certified as safe by
an electrician (unless antiques) will not be
accepted for sale. They must be removed at
your expense on your being notified. We
reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods
as refuse, at your expense.
10. Soft Furnishings
The sale of soft furnishings is strictly
regulated by statute law in the interests of
fire safety. Goods found to infringe safety
regulations will not be offered and must be
removed at your expense. We reserve the
right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse,
at your expense.
The rights of disposal referred to in clauses
9 and 10 are subject to the provisions of
The Torts (Interference with Goods) Act
1977, Schedule 1, a copy of which is
available for inspection upon request.
11. Descriptions
Please assist us with accurate information
as to the provenance etc. of goods where
this is relevant. There is strict liability for the
accuracy of descriptions under modern
consumer legislation and in some
circumstances responsibility lies with sellers
if inaccuracies occur. We will assume that
you have approved the catalogue
description of your lots unless informed to
the contrary. Where we are obliged to return
the price to the buyer when the lot is a
deliberate forgery under Condition 4 of the
Conditions of Sale and we have accounted
to you for the proceeds of sale you agree to
reimburse us the sale proceeds.
12. Unsold Items
If an item is unsold it may at our discretion
be re-offered at a future sale. Where in our
opinion an item is unsaleable you must
collect such items from the saleroom
promptly on being so informed. Otherwise,
storage charges may be incurred.
13. Withdrawn and Bought In Items
These are liable to incur charges on being
bought in or withdrawn after being
catalogued.
14. Conditions of Sale
You agree that all goods will be sold subject
to our Conditions of Sale. In particular you
undertake that you have the right to sell the
goods either as owner or agent for the
owner. You undertake to compensate us
and any buyer or third party for all losses,
liabilities and expenses incurred in respect
of and as a result of any breach of this
undertaking.
15. Authority to Deduct Commission and
Expenses and retain Premium and
Interest
You authorise us to deduct commission at
the stated rate and all expenses incurred
from your account from the hammer price
and consent to our right to retain
beneficially the premium paid by the buyer
in accordance with our Conditions of Sale
and any interest earned on the sale
proceeds until the date of settlement.
You authorise us at our discretion to
negotiate a sale by private treaty not later
than the close of business 48 hours after
the day of sale in the case of lots unsold at
auction, in which case the same charges
will be payable as if such lots had been sold
at auction and so far as appropriate these
Terms apply.
16. Storage
We disclaim all liability for goods delivered
to our saleroom without sufficient sale
instructions and reserve the right to make
storage charges.
17. Settlement
Subject to funds having cleared in our
account we aim to pay you no later than 14
working days following the sale. If the buyer
has not paid for the goods no settlement
will be made but we will take your
instructions in the light of our Conditions of
Sale. You authorise any sums owed by you
to us on other transactions to be deducted
from the sale proceeds. Please note the
liability to reimburse the proceeds of sale to
us as under the circumstances provided for
in Condition 11 above and you should
therefore bear this in mind before parting
with the proceeds of sale.
Information for Buyers
1. Introduction
The following notes are intended to assist
buyers particularly those who may be
inexperienced or new to our saleroom. All
sales are conducted in accordance with our
Conditions of Sale. Our staff will be happy
to help you with anything you do not fully
understand.
2. Agency
As auctioneers we usually contract as
agents for the seller whose identity, for
reasons of confidentiality, is not normally
disclosed. Accordingly, if you buy your
primary contract is with the seller.
3. The Buyer
The highest bidder acknowledged as such
by the auctioneer will be the buyer. If any
dispute arises, the auctioneer has absolute
discretion to settle the matter. The
auctioneer rules the bidding and bids
cannot be retracted. The auctioneer
reserves the right to refuse any bid.
The successful bidder, whether bidding for
himself or for a third party, is entirely
responsible for paying for the lots they have
bought in accordance with NMA’s
Conditions of Sale and Business.
The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on
behalf of the sellers for any lot and to
withdraw, consolidate or divide any lot or
lots.
4. Registration
It is essential that all prospective buyers
register with us, giving their full name,
address, contact telephone number(s) and
email address. First time buyers will be
required to provide proof of identity (i.e.
driving licence/passport), a valid debit or
credit card and a copy of a utility bill
confirming their name and address. Upon
receipt of the above a paddle will be issued,
which is only valid for the current sale. The
paddle may be used to indicate your bids to
the Auctioneer during the sale. If
successful, the bidder must ensure that
their number can be seen by the Auctioneer
and that it is their number that is called out.
Should there be any doubts as to price or
buyer, please draw the Auctioneer’s
attention to it immediately.
5. Buyer’s Premium
Commission Charges
There is a buyer’s premium of 20 per cent
plus VAT on the hammer price of each lot.
6. Value Added Tax
Lots on which the buyer may have to pay
VAT on the ‘hammer price’ are indicated in
the catalogue with the following symbol L.
The buyer must pay this VAT at the rates
that apply on the day of the auction in
addition to the buyer’s premium and VAT
thereon.
7. Auctioneers Margin Scheme
This scheme allows auctioneers to sell
items without VAT on the hammer price. The
buyer then pays an amount equivalent to
VAT. This amount cannot be refunded and is
not shown separately on the invoice.
8. Payment
Buyers must pay in full before items can be
removed from the premises (please see
“payment methods” below).
Invoices will be issued from the day of the
sale. Buyers must pay their invoice in full
within 24 hours and advise when they will
be collecting their item(s).
Any invoices which remain unpaid after
seven days will incur interest at 5 per cent
above the base rate, charged from the date
of the sale.
If buyers are unknown to us, we cannot
hand over purchases unless we have
adequate references or payment is cleared.
Deposit payments received from winning
bidders are non-refundable unless
expressly agreed beforehand.
Payment Methods
We accept payment by:
• Cash – up to £9,000 (subject to money
laundering regulations).
• Cheques – The auctioneers regret that
they are unable to accept cheques in
payment for purchases, except where
arrangements have been made
beforehand well in advance of sale day.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS
9. Live Internet Bidding
Live online auctions are in conjunction with
the-saleroom.com
We ask that you register for the sale a
minimum of 24 hours before the auction.
the-saleroom.com will notify you before the
auction is about to start.
When you have registered, you can watch
the auction in real time; simply click the bid
button to place a bid.
If your bid is successful we will notify you
after the sale for payment. A charge of 3 per
cent of the hammer price (plus VAT) is
made for internet bidding in addition to all
other charges.
10. Transfer of Risk
Each lot is the buyer’s sole responsibility
from the fall of the hammer.
11. Commission Bids
If instructed, NMA will execute bids and
advise prospective buyers. This service is
free.
Buyers who cannot come to a sale may
leave their bid with our staff after/during
viewing, or make their bid in advance
by telephone or email
([email protected]).
Such bids are placed at the buyer’s own
risk.
Bids must be made at least one hour
before the sale starts, but we advise buyers
to make bids at the earliest possible
opportunity.
When making bids, buyers must provide:
• Their full name
• Address
• Email address
• Contact telephone numbers
• The number of the lot they wish to buy
• Their maximum bid amount – excluding
commission which will be added to the
invoice afterwards.
Buyers must state what their maximum bid
would be. We cannot accept an instruction
to ‘buy’ or unlimited bids.
We will ensure that lots are bought as
cheaply as possible depending on the bids
made and other reserves. If identical bids
are placed, they will be dealt with on a “first
come first served” basis.
12. Telephone Bids
Lines for telephone bidding should be
booked 48 hours before the auction. Lines
are booked on a first come first served
basis and may be subject to a minimum lot
value of £500. Full name, address and
telephone numbers will be required together
with proof of identity and address. Bank and
credit/debit card details are also necessary
to secure the line. Where buyers are not
known to us a refundable deposit payment
of the lower estimate or any other amount at
the discretion of the Auctioneer will be
payable. Refunds will be repaid should you
be unsuccessful.
13. Data Protection
NMA will use information provided by its
clients or obtained by NMA relating to its
clients for the provision of auction services
or as required by law. NMA may need to
record telephone conversations for security
or legal reasons or as necessary to provide
a higher quality of service. Clients agree
that NMA may use sensitive information that
they supply to NMA. Unless permitted by
law, NMA will not otherwise process
sensitive personal data without express
consent. By agreeing to the Conditions of
Sale and Business, clients agree to the
processing of their personal information.
14. Storage and Collection
Please note furniture, carpets, clocks and
larger works of art lots will normally remain
in the salerooms for fourteen working days
following each sale, after which they will be
removed to store and arrangements for
collection and payment of a release fee
must be made in advance. Furniture items
will be charged at £10 per week and smaller
items at £2 per week commencing 2 weeks
after the sale.
15. Electrical Goods and Soft Furnishings
These are sold as ‘antiques’ only and if
bought for use must be checked over for
compliance with safety regulations.
16. Export of Goods
Buyers intending to export goods should
check whether an export licence is required
and whether there is any specific prohibition
on importing goods of that character
because e.g. they may contain prohibited
materials such as ivory. Ask us if you need
help.
17. Packing and Despatch
Since we do not offer these services, buyers
are respectfully asked to make their own
arrangements. We can provide contact
details for local, national and international
carriers upon request.
18. Droit de Suite Royalty Charges
A work of art by a living artist, or those who
have died within the last 70 years, which
costs more than the UK sterling equivalent
of €1,000 will incur a royalty charge. We
pass this payment onto the Design and
Artists Copyright Society (DACS), and do
not charge a handling fee. Buyers can
calculate royalty charges on the DACS
website.
Items marked with the ф symbol in the
catalogue will potentially incur royalty
payments.
We use the euro to UK sterling exchange
rate which applies on the day of the sale. It
is the buyer’s responsibility to check the
relevant exchange rate.
The actual qualifying threshold is calculated
by the Artist’s Resale Right Service Hub
based on the European Central Bank
reference rate published at 2.15pm on the
day of the sale, and can be found on the
DACS website.
The royalty charge for pictures which
achieve a hammer price of more than the
UK sterling equivalent of €1,000, but less
that the UK sterling equivalent of €50,000 is
four per cent. On works of art that achieve a
hammer price of more than the UK sterling
equivalent of €50,000 a sliding scale of
royalty charges applies. For a complete list
of the royalty charges and threshold levels
please download more information from the
DACS website.
The royalty charge is added to invoices,
and must be paid before purchases are
removed. VAT is not paid on royalty
charges.
19. Cites License
Important Notice Relating to Sporting
and Natural History
Clients intending to import/export any item
derived from natural history specimens
into/from a non-European country should
first check for any Import/Export and
possession restrictions prior to
bidding/selling.
Certain species * are also subject to CITES
regulations when exporting/importing these
items out the EU. CITES regulations are
given on www.ukcites.gov.uk or maybe
obtained from Animal Health, Wildlife
Licensing and Registration Service, Zone
1/17, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square,
Bristol BS1 6EB. Those species that are
covered by the US Endangered Species Act
(USESA) or The Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(MBTA): potential US bidders should check
with USF&W (US Fish and Wildlife Services)
for trade/possession restrictions in the US
prior to bidding.
While every effort has been made to
attribute the correct Latin name for each
specimen, the auctioneers will not be held
responsible for any errors that may occur
concerning Latin nomenclature.
For Health and Safety reasons, large heads,
full mounts, and any particularly heavy or
awkward lots cannot be removed whilst the
auction is in progress.
