Auction
Items are sold to the highest bidder at the auction on dedicated auction days, or previously notified. The
auctioneer may change the order of lots as notified in the catalogue and has discretion to combine and
divide lots. Should complaints emerge regarding the winning of an item, the auctioneer has discretion to
resume the auction from the preceding bid.
Viewing of the lots before auction:
All lots will be on display prior to auction, in the case of traditional auctions, or can be viewed by appointment for online auctions, in order to examine the quality and condition of items; no complaints will be accepted
after the hammer, even if there are errors in the catalogue.We would like to remind that with the purchase at the auction all lots are sold ?As is? and ?Where is?. No statement regarding age, condition, kind, value, or quality of a lot, whether made orally at the auction or at any other time, or in writing in this catalogue or elsewhere, shall be construed to be an express or implied warranty, representation, or assumption of liability. Completed condition reports are posted as an additional image with the lot. Capitolium Art does not give refunds.
Therefore, acting ?in the name and on behalf of? the principal according to the Civil Code, we would also like to remind you that Capitolium Art S.R.L has a role of mere intermediary between the client, for whom we undertake to put on sale the lots as they are given to us with an order to sell, and the purchaser who takes the responsibility to personally examine the state of preservation and the quality of the lots and related documentation during the showing before the auction. All the lots and the relative documentation can be freely and personally consulted at Capitolium Art, or through our website, for 15 days preceding each auction. In addition, as established in the conditions to which the participation in each auction is subordinated, ?no complaints are admitted after the award."
