Auctions : How to buy ?
1. BEFORE THE SALE
The details shown in the catalogue are drawn up by Osenat with the diligence required for a voluntary sales company selling furniture at public auction, subject to any corrections displayed in the saleroom before the sale starts, or any announced at the start of the sale by the person authorised to conduct it, which are then included in the sale report.
The details indicated are based on information provided by the seller, and on scientific, technical and artistic knowledge or opinions generally recognised by experts and specialists, and which exist at the time these details are indicated.
Condition reports are available on request.
All goods are sold in the condition they are found in at the time of the sale, with all their imperfections and defects. No claims can be accepted for minor restorations or minor damage.
It is the responsibility of prospective bidders to examine each lot before the sale and satisfy themselves that each lot matches its description. Re-lining, frames and finings constituting a protective measure, not a defect, will not be indicated. Measurements are given for information only.
At the presale viewing, all potential buyers will have a chance to inspect each object on offer before the sale, in order to examine their characteristics, size and any repairs or restoration work.
Presale viewings are open to everybody, free of charge.
2. BIDDING
Bids can be made by people in the room, by telephone or by absentee bid. Requests for telephone bidding and absentee bids must be sent to Osenat at least 24 hours before the sale, by fax to +33 1 64 22 38 94, or by email to contact@osenat.com.
As most of the staff at Osenat are multilingual, you can ask to bid in the language of your choice.
