Bids must be placed in US dollars.

Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid.

Reserves
some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the high estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of EDEN Fine Antiques Galleries LLC The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller.

In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount.
