  • A fine late classical greek agate intaglio. Bull.
    Lot 13

    A fine late classical greek agate intaglio. Bull.

    Late 5th - early 4th century B.C.
    13x17x4 mm

    The powerful animal is facing right, charging. This iconography is typical from the classical greek period coinage. The bull, symbol of strength and power, is engraved with great skill and shows a well-marked musculature. In addition to the anatomical rendering, the pose and some details such as the tail are also well rendered in the typical late classical style. The shape of the bezel probably derives from a scaraboid seal subsequently cut out, again in antiquity and perhaps in Roman times, given the marked signs of ancient wear on the entire stone. The choice of stone reflects the artist's engraving artistic sensitivity, in which the white band follows the base line of the ground where the powerful paws of the animal rest. War marks. Rare.

According to the myth, the young Leandro crossed the dangerous strait of the Dardanelles every night to reach his beloved Hero, who was waiting for him on a tower with a lighted torch; but one night, due to the strong wind and the rough sea, it happened that the light of the torch went out, and Leandro, losing the reference, drowned, becoming the symbol of a courageous, eternal and always ardent love. The engraving is performed with great technical and artistic mastery, on a very thin stone with very delicate edges. The carving is higly polished and shows signs of wear with small lacks on the edge. Rare subject.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This notice is addressed by Bertolami Fine Arts LTD to any person who may be interested in a Lot. Any

additional information applicable to the Sale may be set out in the Catalogue for the Sale, in an insert in the

Catalogue and/or in a notice displayed at the Sale venue and you should read them as well.

The terms and conditions of sales applied to both floor and online Bertolami Fine Arts LTD sales are the

ones on the bertolamifinearts.com site and not those published in the printed catalogs.


1. OUR ROLE

In its role as Auctioneer of Lots, Bertolami Fine Arts LTD acts solely for and in the interests of the Seller.

Our experts are available to prospective buyers to provide information about lots for sale.

The Seller has authorized Bertolami Fine Arts LTD to sell the Lot as its agent on its behalf and, save where

we explicitly make it clear to the contrary, Bertolami Fine Arts LTD acts only as agent for the Seller. Any

statement or representation we make in respect of a Lot is made on the Seller’s behalf.

Bertolami Fine Arts LTD does not owe or undertake or agree to any duty or responsibility to you in contract

or tort (whether direct, collateral, express, implied or otherwise). If you successfully bid for a Lot and buy it,

at that stage Bertolami Fine Arts LTD does enter into an agreement with the Buyer. The terms of that

contract are set out in our Buyer’s Agreement, which you will find beneath.


2. LOTS

Subject to the Contractual Description printed in bold letters in the Entry about the Lot in the Catalogue,

Lots are sold to the Buyer on an “as is” basis, with all faults and imperfections. Illustrations and photographs

contained in the Catalogue (other than photographs forming part of the Contractual Description) or

elsewhere of any Lots are for identification purposes only. They may not reveal the true condition of the Lot.

A photograph or illustration may not reflect an accurate reproduction of the color(s) of the Lot. Lots are

available for inspection prior to the Sale and it is for you to satisfy yourself as to each and every aspect of a

Lot, including its authorship, attribution, condition, provenance, history, background, authenticity, style,

period, age, suitability, quality, roadworthiness (if relevant), origin, value and estimated selling price. It is

your responsibility to examine any Lot in which you are interested. It should be remembered that the actual

condition of a Lot may not be as good as that indicated by its outward appearance. We can assist in arranging

facilities for you to carry out or have carried out more detailed inspections and tests. Please ask our staff for

details. Any person who damages a Lot will be held liable for the loss caused.

absentee bid below the reserve price received. The decision of the seller will be communicated to the bidder

4. CONDUCT OF THE SALE

Our Sales are public auctions which persons may attend and you should take the opportunity to do so. We do

reserve the right at our sole discretion to refuse admission to our premises or to any Sale without stating a

reason. We have complete discretion as to whether the Sale proceeds, whether any Lot is included in the

Sale, the manner in which the Sale is conducted and we may offer Lots for Sale in any order we choose

notwithstanding the numbers given to Lots in the Catalogue. You should therefore check the date and

starting time of the Sale, whether there have been any withdrawals or late entries. Remember that

withdrawals and late entries may affect the time at which a Lot you are interested in is put up for Sale. We

have complete discretion to refuse any bid, to nominate any bidding increment we consider appropriate, to

divide any Lot, to combine two or more Lots, to withdraw any Lot from a Sale and, before the Sale has been

closed, to put up any Lot for auction again.

Some lots may carry a reserve. The auctioneer reserves the right not to sell an item below the confidential

price, or will repurchase the item on behalf of the consignor or of BFA. If a reserve exists the auctioneer

reserves the right to bid on any lot on behalf of the consignor up to the amount of the reserve against any

floor or mail bidders. The auctioneer also reserves the right to bid on any lot on behalf of BFA. The Buyer

will be the Bidder who makes the highest bid acceptable to the Auctioneer for any Lot (subject to any

applicable Reserve) to whom the Lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer at the fall of the Auctioneer’s

hammer.

Any dispute as to the highest acceptable bid will be settled by the Auctioneer at his or her absolute

discretion. All bids tendered will relate to the actual Lot number announced by the Auctioneer. An electronic

currency converter may be used at the Sale. This equipment is provided as a general guide as to the

equivalent amount in certain currencies of a given bid. All estimates are in POUNDS STERLING. We do

not accept any responsibility for any errors which may occur in the use of the currency converter. We may

use video cameras to record the Sale.


5. BIDDING

We do not accept bids from any person who has not completed and delivered to us one of our Bidding

Forms, either our Bidder Registration Form, Absentee Bidding Form or Telephone Bidding Form. You will

be asked for proof of identity, residence and references, which, when asked for, you must supply if your bids

are to be accepted by us. Please bring your passport, driving license (or similar photographic proof of

identity) and proof of address. We may request a deposit from you before allowing you to bid. We may

refuse entry to a Sale to any person even if that person has completed a Bidding Form.

Bidding in person

You should come to our Bidder registration desk at the Sale venue and fill out a Bidder Registration Form on

(or, if possible, before) the day of the Sale. The bidding number system is sometimes referred to as “paddle

bidding”. You will be issued with a large card (a “paddle”) with a printed number on it. This will be

attributed to you for the purposes of the Sale. Should you be a successful Bidder you will need to ensure that

your number can be clearly seen by the Auctioneer and that it is your number which is identified as the

Buyer’s. You should not let anyone else use your paddle as all Lots will be invoiced to the name and address

given on your Bidder Registration Form. Once an invoice is issued it will not be changed. If there is any

doubt as to the Hammer Price of, or whether you are the successful Bidder of, a particular Lot, you must

draw this to the attention of the Auctioneer before the next Lot is offered for Sale. At the end of the Sale, or

when you have finished bidding please return your paddle to the Bidder registration desk.

Bidding by telephone (only available on lots with a low estimate greater than £500)

If you wish to bid at the Sale by telephone, please complete a Telephone Bidding Form, which is available

from our offices or in the Catalogue. Please then return it to the office responsible

for the Sale at least 24 hours in advance of the Sale. It is your responsibility to check with our Bids Office

that your bid has been received. Telephone calls will be recorded. The telephone bidding facility is a

discretionary service and may not be available in relation to all Lots. We will not be responsible for bidding

on your behalf if you are unavailable at the time of the Sale or if the telephone connection is interrupted

during bidding. Our staff will be available for phone calls in foreign languages as long as previously agreed

upon.

Bidding by post or fax

Absentee Bidding Forms can be found in the back of this Catalogue and should be completed and sent to the

office responsible for the Sale. It is in your interest to return your form as soon as possible, as if two or more

Bidders submit identical bids for a Lot, the first bid received takes preference. In any event, all bids should

be received at least 24 hours before the start of the Sale. Please check your Absentee Bidding Form carefully

before returning it to us, fully completed and signed by you. It is your responsibility to check with our Bids

Office that your bid has been received. This additional service is complimentary and confidential. Such bids

are made at your own risk and we cannot accept liability for our failure to receive and/or place any such bids.

All bids made on your behalf will be made at the lowest level possible subject to Reserves and other bids

made for the Lot. Where appropriate your bids will be rounded down to the nearest amount consistent with

the Auctioneer’s bidding increments. New Bidders must also provide proof of identity and address when

submitting bids. Failure to do this will result in your bid not being placed.

Bidding via the internet

Please visit our Website at www.bertolamifinearts.com for details of how to bid via the internet.

Bidding through an agent

Bids will be accepted as placed on behalf of the person named as the principal on the Bidding Form although

we may refuse to accept bids from an agent on behalf of a principal and will require written confirmation

from the principal confirming the agent’s authority to bid. For further details, please contact Customer

Services of Bertolami Fine Arts LTD.
