A small collection of Louis Philippe Sevres 'Chateau de Fontainebleau' pattern dinner wares, 19th century comprising a gilt bronze mounted comport, a tea cup and saucer, a coffee can and a sucrier, afer the original design by Jean-Charles Francoise Leloy (active 1816 - 1844) the comport 27 cm diameter, 14 cm high Note: Louis-Philippe was a great patron of the Sèvres factory, and among his many orders were commissions for dinner services for each of his official residences. This soup plate comes from a dinner service ordered for the château at Fontainebleau. The order was initiated by the king in 1836, and the first pieces of the service were delivered to Fontainebleau in 1839. Deliveries continued through the early 1840s, and the service was augmented by additional orders made through 1847. The service was designed with two different, though complementary, border designs, and the design seen here is the more dense and complex of the two. It is comprised of arabesques of foliage with oval reserves containing emblems and diamond-shaped reserves enclosing the royal cipher. Louis-Philippe's initial order for the service had specified that it "would bear a bas-relief in the Renaissance style," a direct reference to the château's Renaissance origins and distinctive character. The service as finally designed did not specifically reflect the king's request, but the leafy borders recall the nearby extensive forest, and the animals entwined in the foliage allude to the hunting for which the château was famous.

1. Background to the Terms used in
these Conditions
The conditions that are listed below contain terms
that are used regularly and may need explanation.
They are as follows:
"the Buyer" means the person with the highest bid
accepted by the Auctioneer
"the Lot" means any item depicted within the sale
for auction and in particular the item or items
described against any lot number in the catalogue.
"the Hammer price" means the amount of the
highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation
to a lot

the hammer price.
"the Reserve" means the lowest amount at which
Gibson's Auctioneers & Valuers has agreed with the
Seller that the lot can be sold.
"Forgery" means an item constituting an imitation
originally conceived and executed as a whole, with
a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship,
origin, age, period, culture or source, where the
correct description as to such matters is not
reflected by the description in the catalogue.
Accordingly no lot shall be capable of being a
forgery by reason of any damage or restoration
work of any kind (Including re-painting).
"the insured value" means the amount that Gibson's
Auctioneers & Valuers in its absolute discretion
from time to time shall consider the value for which
a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or
not insurance is arranged by Gibson's Auctioneers
& Valuers.)
All values expressed in Gibson's Auctioneers &
Valuers Pty Ltd catalogues (in any format) are
in Australian Dollars (AU$). All bids, "hammer
price", "reserves", "Buyers Premium" and other

specified.
2. Gibson's Auctioneers & Valuers
Auctions as Agent
Except as otherwise stated Gibson's Auctioneers &
Valuers Pty Ltd acts as agent for the Seller.
The contract for the sale of the property is
therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.
3. Before the Sale
A) EXAMINATION OF PROPERTY
Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine
in person any property in which they are interested
before the Auction takes place. Neither Gibson's
Auctioneers & Valuers nor the Seller provides any
guarantee in relation to the nature of the property
apart from the Limited warranty in the paragraph
below.
The property is otherwise sold "AS IS"
B) CATALOGUE AND OTHER DESCRIPTIONS
All statements by Gibson's Auctioneers & Valuers
in the catalogue entry for the property or in the
condition report, or made orally or in writing
elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not
to be relied upon as statements of fact. Such
statements do not constitute a representation,
warranty or assumption of liability by Gibson's
Auctioneers & Valuers of any kind. References
in the catalogue entry to the condition report to
damage or restoration are for guidance only and
should be evaluated by personal inspection by
the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The
absence of such a reference does not imply that an
item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a
reference to particular defects imply the absence
of any others. Estimates of the selling price should
not be relied on as a statement that this is the
price at which the item will sell or it's value for any
other purpose. Neither Gibson's Auctioneers &
Valuers nor The Seller is responsible for any errors
or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental
material.
Images are measured height by width (sight size).
Illustrations are provided only as a guide and
should not be relied upon as a true representation
of colour or condition. Images are not shown at a
standard scale. Mention is rarely made of frames
(which may be provided as supplementary images
on the website) which do not form part of the lot as
described in the printed catalogue.
Foreign buyers should note that all transactions
are in Australian dollars (AU$)so there may be a
small exchange rate risk. The costs associated
with acquiring a good certificate will be carried by
the purchaser. If the item turns out to be forged
or otherwise incorrectly described, all reasonable
costs will be borne by the vendor.
C) BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY
All property is sold "as is" without representation
or warranty of any kind by Gibson's Auctioneers
& Valuers or the Seller. Buyers are responsible for

bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the

of a contract for sale between the Seller and the
Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including
frames or glass where relevant) passes immediately
to the Buyer.

concerning any lot, whether written or oral, nor for
any other errors or omissions in description or for
any faults or defects in any lots. Except as stated
in paragraph 7 below, neither the Seller ourselves,
our officers, agents or employees give any
representation warranty or guarantee or assume

relevance. Except as required by local law any
warranty of any kind is excluded by this paragraph.
7. Limited Warranty
Subject to the terms and conditions of this
paragraph, the Seller warrants for the period of
fourteen (14) days from the date of the sale that
any property described in this catalogue (noting
such description may be amended by any saleroom
notice or announcement) which is stated without
qualification to be the work of a named author or
authorship is authentic and not a forgery. The term
"Author" or "authorship" refers to the creator of the
property or to the period, culture, source, or origin
as the case may be, with which the creation of such
property is identified in the catalogue.
The warranty is subject to the following:
i) it does not apply where a) the catalogue
description or saleroom notice
corresponded to the generally accepted
opinion of scholars and experts at
the date of the sale or fairly indicated
that there was a conflict of opinions,
or b) correct identification of a lot can
be demonstrated only by means of a
scientific process not generally accepted
for use until after publication of the
catalogue or a process which at the date
of the publication of the catalogue was
unreasonably expensive or impractical
or likely to have caused damage to the
property.

assignable and shall apply only to the
original buyer of the lot as shown on
the invoice originally issued by Gibson's

Auctioneers & Valuers will be liable for
any special, incidental nor consequential
damages including, without limitation, loss
of profits not for interest.
v) The Buyer must give written notice of
claim to us within fourteen (14) days of
the date of the Auction. The Seller shall

& Valuers to decide whether or not to
cancel the sale under warranty.
vi) the Buyer must return the lot to Seller in
the same condition that it was purchased.
8. Severability

any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
that part shall be discounted and the rest of the
Conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest
extent permitted by law.
9. Copyright
The copyright of all images, illustrations and written
material produced by Gibson's Auctioneers &
Valuers relating to a lot including the contents of
this catalogue, is and shall remain the property at
all times of Gibson's Auctioneers & Valuers and
shall not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone
else without our prior written consent. Gibson's
Auctioneers & Valuers and the Seller make no
representation or warranty that the Buyer of
a property will acquire any copyright or other
reproduction rights in it.
10. Law and Jurisdiction
These terms and conditions and any matters
concerned with the foregoing fall within the
exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the state in
which the auction is held.
11. Pre-Sale Estimates
Gibson's Auctioneers & Valuers publishes with
each catalogue our opinion as to the estimated
price range for each lot. These estimates are
approximate prices only and are not intended to
be definitive. They are prepared well in advance of
the sale and may be subject to revision. Interested
parties should contact Gibson's Auctioneers
& Valuers prior to auction for updated pre-sale
estimates and starting prices.
12. Sale results
Gibson's Auctioneers & Valuers will provide auction
results, which will be available as soon as possible
after the sale. Results will include buyer's premium
(22% plus GST). These results will be posted at
www.gibsonsauctions.com.au.
13. Goods and Service Tax
In accordance with A New Tax System (Goods
and Services Tax) Act 1999 Gibson's Auctioneers
& Valuers Auctions will collect on behalf of the
Australian tax office (ATO) a Goods and Service Tax
(GST) of 10% on all applicable transactions.
GST is applicable on the hammer price in the case
where the seller is selling property that is owned by
an entity registered for GST. GST is also applicable
on the hammer price in the case where the seller is
not an Australian resident. These lots are denoted
by a dagger symbol † placed next to the estimate.
GST is also applicable on the buyer's premium.
Overseas buyers and buyers non-resident in
Australia will not be charged GST on both hammer
price and premiums under the following conditions:
1. The items are exported through a Gibson's
Auctioneers & Valuers approved freight
company including Australia Post
2. The items are exported within 60 days of the
date of the sale

Scheme will be denoted by the §. The Australian
Resale Royalty is a flat rate of 5% on the hammer
price (including GST). The Australian Resale Royalty
is payable by the seller in addition to the vendor
commission plus any applicable GST.
15. Jewels & Watches
GEMSTONES
Gemstones have historically been subjected to a
variety of treatments to enhance their appearance.
Sapphire and rubies are routinely heat treated to
improve their colour and clarity, similarly emeralds
are frequently treated with oils or resin for the
same purpose. Other treatments such as staining
or dyeing, irradiation, filling or coating may have
been used on other precious and semi-precious
gemstones and organic material. These treatments
may be permanent, whilst others may need special
care to preserve their appearance. Buyers should
assume that each lot has been subject to some
form of treatment and that the estimates reflect
this.
A number of laboratories issue certificates that
give detailed descriptions of gemstones, and in
the event that Gibson's Auctioneers & Valuers has
been supplied with or obtained certificates for any
lot, this shall be noted in the catalogue. However,
as there may not be consensus between different
laboratories on the degree, or types of treatment
of the gemstones, Gibson's Auctioneers & Valuers
supplies these without warranty.
Buyers should assume that all gemstones sold
by Gibson's Auctioneers & Valuers may have
been subjected to such treatments, and that the
catalogue estimates reflect this.
PEARLS
Pearls, like gemstones, are also subject to various
treatments. Buyers should assume that any pearls
sold by Gibson's Auctioneers & Valuers may have
been subjected to such treatments, and that the
catalogue estimates reflect this.
WATCHES
Please note: All watches sold by Gibson's
Auctioneers & Valuers are sold on an "as is"
basis. Gibson's Auctioneers & Valuers makes no
representation or warranty that any watch is in
working order. Many watches have been repaired
over their lifetime and may contain non-original
parts. The absence of any reference to the
condition of a watch does not imply that the lot is
in good condition and without defects, repairs or
restorations. Buyers should be aware that a general
service, change of battery or further repair work,
for which the Buyer is solely responsible for, may
be necessary.
ESTIMATED WEIGHTS
If a stone has a known weight, it has been weighed
out of the mount. If a stone has an estimated
weight, it is an approximate weight only and
has been measured by us in the mount and is
a statement of opinion only. The information is
given as a guide only and Buyers should satisfy
themselves with regard to this information as to
its accuracy

any applicable taxes and GST) not later than three
