Lot 156: Old Masters

Buyers may only arrange for delivery of the goods they have bought if they pay Gregory's a delivery charge and any other related commission, cost or reimbursement.

10) For items subject to state notification, pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 42 of 22.01.2004 (The Cultural Heritage Code) as amended, buyers are required to comply with all current legislation on that matter. If the government decides to exercise the right of pre-emption, the buyer may not claim any reimbursement, from Gregory's or from the seller, of any interest on the price and buyer's premium already paid. The export of items by buyers resident or non-resident in Italy is regulated by the aforementioned Legislative Decree and also by current customs, monetary and tax regulations. Therefore, for the export of any objects dated as being over 50 years old, a free movement of goods licence issued by the competent authority is always required. Gregory's assumes no responsibility to the buyer for any export restrictions that may apply to the lots sold, nor for any licences or certificates that have to be obtained under Italian law.

11) All lots containing material belonging to protected species, such as, for example, coral, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, etc., require a CITES export licence issued by the Ministry of the Environment and Land Protection. We would ask all potential buyers inform themselves about any legislation in the destination country that regulates such imports.
