Emilio Diena,nella sua opera sui francobolli di Sicilia, descrive questo insieme e nota che “l’effigie èimpressa con grandissima abilità, e mostra una meravigliosa finitura, morbidezza di toccoed espressione vivace. È facile rendersi conto che si tratta dell’opera di un artista dei piùabili”. Illustrata sul catalogo Sassone 2015 a pagine 386, rappresenta una delle più grandirarità di Sicilia. Le prove sono state realizzate da Tommaso Aloisio Juvara; grazie all’operadi questo grande artista, i francobolli di Sicilia sono giustamente considerati tra i più bellidell’ intera iconografia filatelica mondiale. Lo straordinario stato di conservazione, ancheconsiderando qualche lieve e quasi impercettibile punti di ossidazione di nessunaimportanza, avvalora ancora maggiormente l’importanza di questa gemma, cherappresenta un insieme assolutamente unico.

Slit through on opening as usual,and subsequently rejoined, not detracting. An unusual franking paying the singlemaritime rate, being the largest franking and multiple known of this value on cover,of which, to our knowledge, only seven covers are recorded, this possessing the addedattraction of being marginal.

The frankingpaid the special postal rate for a judicial document weighing 48 “oitavas’’ (8 “oitavas’’ pereach 60 réis). As described inside, the total costs of the legal proceedings amounted to3$298 réis, out of which 360 réis were related to postal expenses. Judicial case dossierscould neither be processed nor distributed to the litigants without payment of the mail’spostage. To our knowledge, a unique multiple on document carried through the mails.An impressive exhibition item. RHM 6; Scott 9. Ex Santos. Photo €2,000

225 � 1845, 90 r. black, yellowish paper, intermediate impression, type IIa, a remarkable blockof six (3x2) with predominantly large margins, just touched at top right of upper rightadhesive, together with a block of four, just touched at left, otherwise large margins, incombination with 30 r. black vertical pair, type II, all tied to piece of judicial documentcarried through the post, dated 18 March 1856 by framed ‘Cidade/De/Nictheroy’handstamp in a brilliant orangish red colour. Type IIa (sometimes known as type III)introduces one of the most fascinating mysteries in the “Inclinados” issue: the plating of the90r. value. Until 1973, all multiples, which only exhibited Type IIa characteristics, werebelieved to have originated from a second 90r. plate made up solely of this type that was onlyever printed on the thin paper. However, at the 1973 IBRA exhibition in Munich, a verticalblock of twelve (2x6) was discovered that was composed of Types IIa in the left hand rowcombined with Types II, I, II, I, IIa & IIa in the right hand row. This discovery put intoquestion the previously held belief of a plate composed solely of Type IIa stamps and it also gaverise to a theory that there may, in fact be three different plates. Everaldo N. dos Santos in hisarticle “Inclinados, o Maior Desafio do Filatelia do Brasil” (“Inclinados, the BiggestChallenge of Brazilian Philately”) argues against the three plates scenario and it is hisopinion that the second plate consists of Type IIa stamps together with both Types I and TypeII stamps. Obviously, any Type IIa multiples are very important building blocks in eitherattempting to complete the layout of this plate or in trying to prove the possible existence of athird plate. Positional pieces such as these very rare blocks are even more so. The largestfranking recorded of the fascinating type IIa, including the second and third largestmultiples in existence the 90 r. value type IIa. The blocks being key items inestablishing the curious layout on the plate which includes the type IIa. A mostdesirable, great rarity of Brazilian philately. Cert. Moorhouse. RHM 5, 7D.

1050 Celestino USUELLI (1877-1926). Usuelli fu no dei più importanti aeronauti e progettistidi dirigibili italiani. Effettuò quasi 100 ascensioni in pallone libero, una delle quali siconcluse in tragedia con l’annegamento dei suoi due compagni di volo. Partecipò tre voltealla Coppa Gordon Bennett. Fu il primo ad attraversare le Alpi da est a ovest nel 1906,impresa che gli valse la Coppa Regina Margherita. Collaboratore e socio di Crocco,Ricaldoni e Nobile, fu progettista e fabbricante di dirigibili, tra i quali il T 34 “Roma”, di34.000 metri cubi, il più grande dirigibile semirigido dell’epoca, che fu venduto agli StatiUniti. Contribuì in modo determinante alla formazione della “scuola dirigibilisticaitaliana”, del dirigibile semirigido, in contrapposizione con i rigidi Zeppelin. Usuelli fuanche presidente della sezione di Milano della Società Aeronautica Italiana. Questoimportante lotto comprende circa 250 documenti, foto originali, lettere, verbaliascensioni, progetti, documenti sul palloni pilotati da Usuelli, due libri con la descrizionedi tutte le ascensioni del dirigibile U 3; il libretto originale di carico e scarico del palloneRegina Elena (tragico naufragio di Ancona); un grande album con quasi 100 fotografieoriginali dei primi dirigibili dal 1911 al 1914 e dei Cantieri Usuelli di Villapizzone; librocassa e libro paga dei cantieri; tracciati barografici di ascensioni, tra cui la secondatraversata alpina; relazioni di ascensioni con dirigibili, con tracciati barografici e firmeautografe dei piloti; cartoline relative ad alcuni voli in pallone; foto di famiglia ecorrispondenza autografa con tutti gli aeronauti contemporanei.

1051 Aerostatica Italiana, “antichi” e precursori. L’aerostatica in Italia ebbe lontane origini.Dopo la Francia, l’Italia fu la seconda nazione a fornire un contributo scientifico e sportivofondamentale alla attività del più leggero dell’aria. In questo lotto sono rappresentati nelmodo migliore tutti gli eventi aerostatici che si verificarono a partire dagli ultimi decennidell’Ottocento e fino al 1905. Si tratta di uno dei periodi dei quali, paradossalmente,esistono meno documenti, assai meno di quelli del periodo antico. Questo insiemecomprende circa 100 pezzi di particolare pregio e rarità, di cui molti, sopratutto cartolineillustrate, ricercati dai collezionisti; particolarmente belle e rare le cartoline relativeall’Esposizione di Torino 1898, tra cui un rarissimo esemplare viaggiato. Sono presentianche tessere di ingresso e manifestini lanciati da bordo dei palloni in volo. Pregevolissimii documenti su Cirillo Steffanini, tutti autografi, tra i quali spicca un cartoncino che eglilanciava dalla mongolfiera durante le sue esibizioni al trapezio, un pezzo davvero unico,firmato e datato dall’aeronauta. Completano il lotto: le prime cartoline del lancio delpallone di San Marcello Pistoiese, rare cartoline del pallone Gigante e del Centauro aGenova, degli aeronauti Zambianchi e Quaglia, che come Steffanini si esibivanocompiendo volteggi al trapezio, appesi al pallone privo di controllo, e un biglietto perassistere a un’ascensione di Francesco Orlandi. Interessante un campione di tessuto deldirigibile Leonardo da Vinci di Forlanini. Tutti i pezzi sono ben documentati e spessosono accompagnati da ritagli di giornali dell’epoca con la cronaca dell’evento. Inisieme digrande importanza, straordinario e unico, rappresentante uno dei periodi più affascinantidella conquista dell’aria. Gran parte del materiale proviene dalla collezione Taragni.

1054 1906, ESPOSIZIONE DI MILANO. L’Esposizione Internazionale di Milano del 1906 fuuna grandissima riunione internazionale, istituita per commemorare la inaugurazione deltraforo ferroviario del Sempione, all’epoca la più lunga galleria mondiale; l’esposizione diMilano, pur non raggiungendo il rango di “Universale”, vide la presentazione di tutto ciòche la scienza e la tecnologia dell’epoca considerava all’assoluta avanguardia, soprattutto nelcampo dei trasporti terrestri e dei nascenti trasporti aerei. Gli spettatori furono valutati incirca 10 milioni in totale, una cifra enorme per l’epoca. Durante l’evento furono effettuate16 gare tra aerostati, un cimento sportivo che all’epoca rappresentava un primato mondiale.Prima del 1906 erano state effettuate solo poche gare, la maggior parte delle quali inFrancia. Per ospitare i palloni e i neonati dirigibili fu creato un grande “parco aerostatico”che rappresentava una delle massime attrattive dell’Esposizione. Un pallone vincolatoportava gli spettatori fino a oltre 200 metri di altezza. Questo lotto comprende circa 200documenti, tra cui il noleggio dei palloni della SAI, i verbali pre-esposizione, libri dibordo, cronache e resoconti. Numerose e belle le foto e le cartoline stampate per l’evento,tutte particolarmente rare. Insieme straordinario e unico, da esaminare. Foto €1,800

Questa carta, relativa alla tratta KARACHI - BOMBAY -MASULIPATAM - CALCUTTA del volo, riporta le annotazioni del pilota nel corso dellatratta con orari e tempi di volo, consumi ed altre interessanti annotazioni. Sul retro di unallegato fotografico della carta del fiume Hugli, usato durante il volo, il pilota scrisse “Mipare che stiamo perdendo qualche goccia di olio” (durante il raid soffrono una lungaserie d’incidenti e di avarie, che costringono ad alcune riparazioni e mettono in dubbiol’esito dell’impresa): un’eccellente dimostrazione riguardante un problema tecnico. Lecarte, offerte anche in lotti successivi di questa vendita, sono una testimonianzairripetibile di una delle più note imprese del periodo pionieristico dell’aviazioneitaliana e mondiale. Rilegatura originale 14 x 25cm circa. Foto €2,000

This item and those offered in lots 1084, 1085, 1094, 1098, 1099 & 1100 represent a unique assembly of route maps of thefamous and glorious flight Rome-Melbourne-Tokyo-Rome of 1925, completed by Francesco De Pinedo in 55,000 kms in hisbiplane flying boat named “Gennariello”. The maps, with manuscript notations by the pilot, indicate the route followed,coordinates, times, petrol comsumption or other interesting entries. This group comprises, according to our records, all routemaps which have been survived to date; these were kept by Francesco De Pinedo after this flight. One may guess thecircumstances and conditions under which this aviation pioneer had to deal with; his enthusiasm and heroism, but also hisworries and restlessness (we find, on the reverse of one of the maps in this lot, his following note: “I think we are losing someoil drops”). As a matter of fact, unexpected technical problems could be also aspects of such a difficult flight; De Pinedo wasthen forced to replace one wing and one engine, assisted by his engineer Ernesto Campanelli, who accompanied De Pinedoin this flight. These items undoubtedly represent a unique and extraordinary firsthand testimony of one of the greatpioneering achievements in aviation history.

You are responsible for satisfying yourself as to the condition of the goods and the matters referred to in the catalogue description. 3.4 Extensions – Stamps only3.4.1 If you wish to obtain an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity on any Lot (other than a mixed Lot or Lot containing undescribed stamps) you must notify us in writing not less than forty-eight hours before the time fixed for the commencement of the first session of the sale. If accepted by us, such request shall have the same effect as notice of an intention to question the genuineness or description of the Lot for the purposes of clause 5.10 (Refund in the case of Forgery) of these Terms and Conditions and the provisions of clause 5.10 (Refund in the case of Forgery) shall apply accordingly.

3.4.2 Notice of a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authen-ticity must give the reason why such opinion is required and specify the identity of your proposed expert which will be subject to agreement by us. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to refuse a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity including (without limitation) where the proposed expert is not known to us.

3.4.3 If we accept a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authen-ticity we will submit the Lot to the Expert Committee. You acknowledge and accept that the length of time taken by an Expert Committee to reach an opinion will vary depending on the circumstances and in any event is beyond our control.

3.4.4 We will not accept a request for an extension on account of condi-tion. Any Lot described in the catalogue as having faults or defects may not be returned even if an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity cites other faults or defects not included in the catalogue description, other than in the case of a Forgery.

3.4.5 Should Spink accept a request for an extension under the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the fact may be stated by the Auctioneer from the rostrum prior to the sale of the Lot.

3.4.6 It should be noted that any stamp accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity is sold on the basis of that Certificate only and not on the basis of any other description or warranty as to authenticity. No request for an extension will be accepted on such a stamp and the return of such a stamp will not be accepted.

3.4.7 If you receive any correspondence from the Expert Committee in relation to the Lot, including but not limited to a Certificate of Authenti-city, you must provide us with copies of such correspondence no later than 7 days after you receive such correspondence.


3.4.8 If the expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity demonstrate the validity of the complaint, all the expenses for the appraisals will be paid by us. If the complaint is invalid, you shall pay for all the appraiser expenses.

4 AT THE SALE

4.1 Refusal of admissionOur sales usually take place on our own premises or premises over which we have control for the sale, and we have the right, exercisable at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or attendance at an auction.4.2 Registration before biddingYou must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before making a bid at auction. Please be aware that we usually require buyers to undergo a credit check.If you have not bid successfully with Spink in the past, or you are registering with us for the first time, we reserve the right to require a deposit of up to 50% of the amount you intend to spend. Such deposit will be deducted from your invoice should you be successful. If you are unsuccessful at auction, your deposit will be returned by the same means it was paid to Spink.Some lots may be designated, prior to the auction, as “Premium Lots”, which means a deposit may be required before placing a bid on the item for sale. Information will be posted on our website in such an event.

4.3 Bidding as PrincipalWhen making a bid (whether such bids are made in person or by way of tele-phone bids operated by Spink, commission or online or email bids), you will be deemed to be acting as principal and will be accepting personal liability, unless it has been agreed in writing, at the time of registration, that you are acting as agent on behalf of a third party buyer acceptable to us.

4.4 Commission BidsIf you give us instructions to bid on your behalf, by using the form provided in our catalogues or via our website, we shall use reasonable endeavours to do so, provided these instructions are received not later than 24 hours before the auction. If we receive commission bids on a particular Lot for identical amounts, and at auction these bids are the highest bids for the Lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid was received first. Commission bids are under-taken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the auction may be such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this is undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated, we cannot accept liability for failure to make a commission bid. You should the-refore always attend personally if you wish to be certain of bidding.

4.5 On-line BiddingWe offer internet services as a convenience to our clients. We will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a loss of in-ternet connection by either party for whatever reason; (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with your internet connection, computer or system. Execution of on-line internet bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commit-ments at the time of the auction and we do not accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with this activity. Buyers who acquire lots on the-saleroom.com will have a fee of 3% on the hammer price added to their invoice for using this facility.

4.6 Telephone BidsIf you make arrangements with us not less than 24 hours before the sale, we shall use reasonable endeavours to contact you to enable you to partici-pate in bidding by telephone, but in no circumstances will we be liable to either the Seller or you as a result of failure to do so.

4.7 Currency ConverterAt some auctions, a currency converter will be operated, based on the one month forward rates of exchange quoted to us by BSI SA or any other appro-priate rate determined by us, at opening on the date of the auction. Bidding will take place in a currency determined by us. The currency converter is not al-ways reliable, and errors may occur beyond our control either in the accuracy of the Lot number displayed on the converter, or the foreign currency equivalent of bids made in the official currency of the auction. We shall not be liable to you for any loss suffered as a result of you following the currency converter.

4.8 Video imagesAt some auctions there will be a video screen. Mistakes may occur in its operation, and we cannot be liable to you regarding either the correspon-dence of the image to the Lot being sold or the quality of the image as a reproduction of the original.

4.9 Bidding IncrementsBidding opens at the starting price (or below the low estimate), in absen-ce of higher commission bids, and advances in the following order althou-gh the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are:50 to 100 by 10100 to 500 by 20500 to 1,000 by 501,000 to 2,000 by 1002,000 to 5,000 by 2005,000 to 10,000 by 50010,000 to 20,000 by 1,00020,000 to 50,000 by 2,00050,000 to 100,000 by 5,000100,000 to 200,000 by 10,000200,000 to 500,000 by 20,000

4.12 Successful BidSubject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid, and the conclusion of a contract for sale between you and the Seller.

4.13 After Sale Arrangements If you enter into any private sale agreements for any Lot with the Seller within 60 days of the auction, we, as exclusive agents of the Seller reserve the right to charge you the applicable Buyer’s Premium in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, and the Seller a commission in accordance with the terms of the Seller’s agreement

3 PRIMA DELL’ASTA

3.1 Esame dei beni Vi preghiamo di esaminare personalmente tutti i beni a cui è interessato, prima che l’asta abbia luogo. Reports sullo stato del pezzo sono generalmente disponibili su richiesta. Noi non forniamo alcuna garanzia se non in relazione a Falsi così come stabilito all’articolo 5.10 di queste Condizioni generali di vendita.

3.2 Descrizioni del catalogo

3.2.1 Le affermazioni da noi riportate nel catalogo o nei nostri reports, o fatte verbalmente o per iscritto in altri contesti, riguardanti l’autore, l’origine, la data, l’età, dimensione, materiale, attribuzione, genuinità, provenienza, condizione o prezzo di vendita stimato di ogni Lotto, sono meramente affermazioni di opinione sulle quali non deve essere fatto affidamento come affermazioni derivanti da fatti certi e defini-tivi. Le illustrazioni del catalogo e sul web fungono solo da guida e su di esse non si dovrebbe fare affidamento per determinare la tonalità od il colore di ogni Lotto. Nessun Lotto può essere rifiutato per motivi di riproduzione imprecisa. Nessun Lotto illustrato nel catalogo può essere rifiutato per motivi di annullo, centratura, margini, perforazione o altre caratteristiche risultanti dall’illustrazione. Con riferimento alla stima del prezzo di vendita, non si dovrebbe fare affidamento su di essa in quanto affermazione che questo prezzo sarà quello a cui il Lotto sarà venduto o che questo sia il suo effettivo valore per ogni altro scopo.

3.2.2 Molti pezzi sono di un’età o natura tali da pregiudicare che possano esse-re in perfette condizioni e alcune descrizioni nel catalogo o fornite attraverso i nostri reports, indicano la presenza di danni e/o restauri.

È vostra responsabilità ritenervi soddisfatti in merito alle condizioni dei beni ed agli argomenti di cui alle descrizioni nel catalogo.

3.4 Extensions – solo per i francobolli

Se dai noi accettata, tale richiesta avrà lo stesso effetto di formale notifica dell’intenzione di mettere in discussione la genuinità o la descrizione del Lotto per gli scopi previsti dall’articolo 5.10 (Rimborso in caso di Falso) delle presenti Condizioni generali di vendita e di conseguenza le previsioni dell’articolo 5.10 troveranno applicazione.

3.4.5 Se Spink dovesse accettare la richiesta di extension sulla base delle prece-denti previsioni di questo paragrafo, questo fatto potrà essere dichiarato dal Banditore durante l’asta prima della vendita del Lotto.3.4.6 Va considerato che ogni francobollo accompagnato da un Certificato di Autenticità è venduto sulla base solamente di detto certificato e non sulla base di qual-siasi altra descrizione o garanzia relativa all’autenticità. Non saranno accettate richieste di extension su tale francobollo ed il reso del medesimo non sarà accettato.

3.4.7 In caso riceviate qualsiasi comunicazione da parte del Comitato di esperti in re-lazione al Lotto, sia che riguardi o meno il Certificato di Autenticità, dovrete fornirci copia entro 7 giorni dalla dalla loro ricezione.

4 IN ASTA


4.1 Rifiuto di ammissione

Le nostre vendite si svolgono di solito in nostri locali o locali sui quali abbiamo il con-trollo in relazione alla vendita e quindi abbiamo il diritto, esercitabile a nostra comple-ta discrezione, di rifiutare l’ammissione ai locali o la partecipazione ad un’asta.

4.2 Registrazione

Voi dovete compilare e firmare un modulo di registrazione e consentire la vostra iden-tificazione prima di fare offerte in asta. Vi informiamo che usualmente richiediamo agli acquirenti di accettare una verifica del loro merito creditizio.Se non avete offerto con successo con Spink in passato, o vi state registrando con noi per la prima volta, ci riserviamo il diritto di richiedere un deposito fino al 50% della somma che intendete spendere. Tale deposito verrà detratto dalla fattura in caso di ag-giudicazione. In caso di mancata aggiudicazione in asta, il deposito vi verrà restituito nello stesso modo in cui è stato pagato a Spink.Alcuni Lotti possono essere designati prima dell’asta come “Premium Lots”, che significa che un deposito può essere richiesto prima di accettare un’offerta per quei Lotti. Informazioni in merito saranno annunciate sul nostro sito.

4.3 Offerte in proprio

Nel momento in cui fate offerte (sia che tali offerte siano fatte di persona, attraver-so collegamento telefonico gestito da Spink, online o attraverso invio postale o via email), Voi sarete considerati come se steste agendo in proprio e accetterete quindi di essere personalmente responsabili, a meno che sia stato accordato per iscritto al momento della registrazione che state agendo per conto di terzi acquirenti che siano da noi accettati.

4.4 Offerte su commissione

Se Voi ci date istruzioni di offrire per vostro conto, attraverso la compilazione del modulo contenuto nei nostri cataloghi o attraverso il nostro sito web, noi faremo tutto quanto ragionevolmente possibile per ottemperare alle vostre istruzioni, posto che esse ci pervengano non più tardi di 24 ore prima dell’asta. Se riceviamo offerte su commissione su un particolare Lotto per ammontari identici ed in asta tali offerte sono le più alte per quel Lotto, il medesimo sarà aggiudicato alla persona la cui offerta è stata ricevuta per prima. Le offerte su commissione sono da noi prese in carico uni-tamente agli altri impegni che dobbiamo svolgere durante la vendita, e la conduzione dell’asta può essere tale da non consentirci di fare le offerte come richiesto. Poichè questo è un servizio che noi offriamo gratis a potenziali acquirenti secondo le clausole stabilite, non possiamo accettare alcuna responsabilità per mancanze nell’esecuzione di una offerta su commissione. Dovreste pertanto sempre partecipare personalmente all’asta se desiderate avere certezza delle offerte fatte.

4.5 Offerte via internet

Un’ulteriore comodità che offriamo ai nostri clienti è quella di poter fare offerte attraverso internet. Noi non saremo responsabili per errori o mancanze nell’esecu-zione di offerte fatte attraverso internet, incluso, senza limitazioni, errori o mancanze causate da (i) interruzioni della connessione internet da qualsivoglia delle parti per qualsivoglia ragione; (ii) un malfunzionamento o problemi del software per fare le of-ferte online e/o (iii) malfunzionamento o problemi della vostra connessione internet, computer o sistema operativo L’esecuzione di offerte attraverso internet è un servizio che noi offriamo gratis e che prendiamo in carico unitamente agli altri impegni da noi svolti durante la vendita e non accettiamo alcuna responsabilità per la mancata esecu-zione delle offerte online o per errori o omissioni connesse a questa attività. In caso di acquisto attraverso la piattaforma the-saleroom.com, verrà addebitata in fattura una commissione aggiuntiva del 3% del prezzo di aggiudicazione.

4.6 Offerte telefoniche

Se Voi prenderete accordi con noi non più tardi di 24 ore prima dell’asta, faremo tutto quanto ragionevolmente possibile per contattarvi al fine di consentirvi di partecipare all’asta in collegamento telefonico, ma in nessuna circostanza saremo responsabili nei vostri confronti o del Venditore nel caso non si riesca per qualsiasi ragione a consen-tirvi di offrire via telefono.

4.7 Convertitore di valuta

In alcune aste sarà operativo un convertitore di valute basato sui tassi di cambio a noi quotati da BSI Sa o su qualsiasi altro appropriato tasso da noi determinato all’apertura della giornata di svolgimento dell’asta. Le offerte avverrano nella valuta da noi stabi-lita. Il convertitore di valuta può non essere sempre affidabile ed errori possono acca-dere fuori dal nostro controllo sia con riguardo alla correttezza del numero di Lotto che appare sul convertitore che della valuta estera equivalente alla valuta in cui l’asta

viene battuta. Noi non saremo responsabili nei vostri confronti per perdite subite per aver seguito il convertitore di valuta.

4.8 Immagini video

In alcune aste sarà presente uno schermo video. Errori possono accadere in connes-sione a ciò e noi non saremo responsabili nei vostri confronti sia con riferimento alla corrispondenza dell’immagine del Lotto in corso di aggiudicazione durante l’asta che per la qualità dell’immagine in quanto riproduzione dell’originale.

4.9 Incrementi delle offerte

Il banditore apre l’asta per ogni Lotto al prezzo base (o sotto la stima piu’ bassa), in assenza di offerte su commissione, ed avanza generalmente secondo la seguente scaletta pur potendo variare gli incrementi durante lo svolgimento dell’asta. I normali incrementi delle offerte sono i seguenti:da 50 a 100 10da 100 a 500 20da 500 a 1,000 50da 1,000 a 2,000 100da 2,000 a 5,000 200da 5,000 a 10,000 500da 10,000 a 20,000 1,000da 20,000 a 50,000 2,000da 50,000 a 100,000 5,000da 100,000 a 200,000 10,000da 200,000 a 500,000 20,000

4.10 Offerte da parte di Spink

4.10.1 Il gruppo Spink si riserva il diritto di fare offerte ed acquistare Lotti in proprio.

4.11 Discrezione del banditore

Il banditore ha il diritto a sua assoluta discrezione di rifiutare qualsiasi offerta, di far avanzare le offerte nel modo che ritiene opportuno, di ritirare o dividere qualsiasi Lotto, di raggruppare due o più Lotti e, in caso di errore o controversia, di rimettere nuovamente qualsiasi Lotto in offerta..

4.12 Offerte aggiudicate

Soggetto alla discrezione del banditore, il colpo del suo martelletto segna l’accet-tazione dell’offerta più alta, e la conclusione di un contratto di vendita tra Voi ed il Venditore.

4.13 Accordi post venditaSe Voi raggiungete accordi privati per la vendita di qualsiasi Lotto con il Venditore entro 60 giorni dalla data dell’asta, noi, come agenti esclusivi del Venditore, ci riser-viamo il diritto di addebitarvi la relativa Commissione di acquisto in accordo con le presenti Condizioni generali di vendita e di addebitare al Venditore una commissione secondo i termini dell’accordo con il Venditore medesimo.

4.14 Reso di un Lotto

Nel caso in cui abbiate ricevuto un Lotto e desideriate ritornarlo, Voi dovete notifi-carcelo per iscritto entro sette giorni dal ricevimento, dichiarando il motivo del reso. Il Lotto deve essere ritornato a noi entro 14 giorni dal ricevimento da parte vostra, nelle stesse condizioni esistenti alla data dell’asta. Qualsiasi richiesta di questo tipo è soggetta alla nostra esclusiva discrezione.

5 DOPO L’ASTA

5.1 Commissione di acquisto ed altre speseIn aggiunta al prezzo di aggiudicazione, Voi dovrete pagarci la Commissione di acqui-sto stabilita nella misura del 20% del prezzo di aggiudicazione di ogni lotto. In caso di acquisto attraverso la piattaforma the-saleroom.com, verrà addebitata in fattura una commissione aggiuntiva del 3% del prezzo di aggiudicazione. Una ulteriore commis-sione verrà addebitata in caso di pagamento con carta di credito. 5.2 Imposta sul valore aggiunto (IVA)In caso di vendita con merce consegnata in Svizzera e non esportata verrà addebitata in fattura l’IVA pari all’8% (ottopercento) del prezzo di vendita, intendendosi con esso il prezzo di aggiudicazione maggiorato della commissione di cui al punto 5.1 e di eventuali spese di assicurazione e trasporto da addebitare in caso di spedizione del materiale acquistato. Nel caso l’acquirente intenda ritirare la merce e provvedere in


WWW.SPINK.COM

proprio alla pratica doganale di esportazione, l’Iva sarà addebitata e successivamente rimborsata all’acquirente dietro presentazione della documentazione legale di avve-nuta esportazione.

5.3 Pagamento

5.3.1 Voi dovete fornirci nome e domicilio e, se richiesto, i dettagli della banca da cui proverranno i pagamenti in nostro favore. Voi dovete pagare l’intero ammonta-re dovuto (comprensivo del Prezzo di aggiudicazione, della Commissione di acquisto, dei costi di assicurazione e spedizione e, ove applicabile, dell’Iva) entro sette giorni dalla data dell’asta.

5.3.2 Voi non acquisirete alcun diritto sul Lotto fino a che tutte le somme a noi dovute non ci saranno state integralmente pagate, anche nel caso in cui noi vi avessimo già consegnato il Lotto.

5.3.3 Il pagamento deve essere fatto nella valuta della vendita (a meno di accor-di particolari) attraverso uno dei seguenti metodi:

(i) Bonifico bancario sul nostro conto indicato in fattura. Vi preghiamo di assicurarvi che tutte le spese bancarie siano a vostro carico e che il vostro numero di cliente sia indicato nella causale del bonifico.

(ii) Assegno bancario o circolare intestato a Spink Switzerland Sa da inviare al nostro indirizzo di Via Balestra 7, 6900 Lugano Switzerland. Vi preghiamo di assicurarvi che le spese di emissione e di incasso dell’assegno bancario o circolare siano a vostro carico e che il tagliando presente in fondo alla fattura sia inserito insieme al pagamento.

(iii) Carta di credito Visa, Mastercard o American Express. Un addebito del 3.00% sarà applicato per pagamenti con Visa e Mastercard e del 3.50% per pagamenti con American Express.

5.4 Ritiro degli acquisti

5.4.1 A meno di uno specifico diverso accordo, terremo i Lotti acquistati fino a che gli ammontari a noi dovuti, o dovuti al gruppo Spink, siano stati integralmente pagati. Gli acquirenti saranno tenuti a pagare i loro Lotti nel momento in cui deside-rano entrare in possesso dei medesimi, pagamento che dovrà avvenire entro 7 giorni dalla data della vendita, salvo accordi precedenti presi con Spink. Senza previo accor-do, i Lotti non saranno rilasciati fino a quando i fondi non saranno effettivamente resi disponibili in relazione a pagamenti effettuati tramite assegno.

5.4.2 In assenza di nostra diversa comunicazione, i pezzi da noi tenuti saranno assicurati in accordo con la nostra polizza, che è disponibile per visione presso i nostri uffici, per un periodo di sette giorni dalla data dell’asta o fino al momento del ritiro se fosse precedente. Dopo sette giorni o dal momento del ritiro, se precedente, il Lotto sarà interamente a vostro rischio.

5.4.3 La nostra polizza non assicurerà e non siamo in grado di accettare alcuna responsabilità per danni causati da tarli, cambiamenti atmosferici o atti di terrorismo.

5.5 ComunicazioniNon siamo in grado di comunicare l’avvenuta aggiudicazione agli aggiudicatari dei Lotti. Le fatture saranno inviate via email dopo l’asta e non accettiamo responsabilità per comunicazioni inerenti alle vostre offerte. Vi preghiamo di contattarci telefonica-mente o di persona appena dopo l’asta per conoscere il risultato delle vostre offerte al fine di evitare addebiti per pagamenti in ritardo.

5.6 Imballo e movimentazione

5.6.1 Faremo tutto quanto ragionevolmente possibile per avere cura del Lotto acquistato nel momento dell’imballo e della movimentazione ma ricordate che dopo sette giorni dall’asta o, dalla data del ritiro se precedente, il Lotto è interamente a vo-stro rischio. In caso di spedizione, i nostri addebiti per le spese postali ed assicurative sono indicati alla fine del catalogo.

5.6.2 È responsabilità dell’acquirente conoscere qualsiasi dazio/tassa all’impor-tazione che potrebbero essere richiesti al momento dell’importazione nel paese di de-stinazione. Spink non accetterà il reso di qualsiasi collo per evitare il pagamento di tale dazio/tassa. È inoltre onere dell’acquirente conoscere qualsiasi restrizione doganale all’importazione che proibisca l’importazione di certi articoli da collezione. Spink non accetterà il reso di Lotti per questo motivo. Spink non accetterà alcuna responsabilità per Lotti sequestrati o distrutti dalla Dogana.

5.7 Confezionatori e spedizionieri raccomandatiSe richiesto, il nostro ufficio spedizioni può organizzare la spedizione come suo agen-te. Sebbene noi siamo in grado di suggerire spedizionieri, se specificamente richiesto, i nostri suggerimenti sono forniti sulla base della nostra esperienza generale con essi nel passato e non siamo responsabili nei confronti di alcuno al quale abbiamo fatto una raccomandazione per atti od omissioni delle controparti in questione.

5.8 Rimedi per mancato pagamento o mancato ritiro

5.8.1.2 rivalersi su qualsiasi somma di cui il gruppo Spink può essere creditore nei vostri confronti per qualsiasi altra operazione, fino a concorrenza dell’ammontare da Voi non pagato;

5.8.1.3 trattenere tutti o alcuni Lotti di vostra proprietà o altri beni in possesso del gruppo Spink fino al pagamento da parte vostra di tutte le somme dovute a noi o al gruppo Spink, anche se la somma non pagata non riguarda quei Lotti o quei beni. Trascorsi quattordici giorni dalla nostra comunicazione di esistenza di una somma non pagata, il gruppo Spink avrà il diritto di organizzare la vendita di tali Lotti o beni. Noi compenseremo i ricavi rivenienti da detta vendita fino a concorrenza della somma dovuta al gruppo Spink e vi pagheremo l’eventuale saldo;

5.8.1.4 nel caso in cui più somme siano da voi dovute al gruppo Spink con rife-rimento ad operazioni diverse, compensare qualsiasi ammontare pagato con qualsiasi ammontare da voi dovuto sia o meno riferito direttamente ad una specifica operazio-ne;

5.8.1.5 rifiutare in qualsiasi asta futura qualsiasi offerta fatta da Voi o per vostro conto, od ottenere un deposito da parte vostra prima di accettare qualsiasi offerta.5.8.2 Se Voi venite meno al pagamento entro trentacinque giorni dalla data di pagamento indicata in fattura, noi saremo inoltre autorizzati a:

5.8.2.1 cancellare la vendita del Lotto o di qualsiasi altro articolo a Voi venduto nella stessa od in qualsiasi altra asta;

5.8.2.2 organizzare una rivendita del Lotto, in asta o a trattativa privata, e se il prezzo realizzato fosse inferiore a quello a suo tempo ottenuto, richiedere il pagamen-to del saldo da parte vostra unitamente a tutti i ragionevoli costi compreso una com-missione del Venditore del 20%, spese varie, rimborso danni, spese legali, commissioni e premi di qualsiasi natura connessi con entrambe le vendite o altrimenti occorsi in conseguenza del mancato pagamento;

5.8.2.3 al momento della rivendita del Lotto, menzionare nel catalogo che il lotto era stato a Voi aggiudicato in asta e ma non successivamente pagato; o

5.8.2.4 intraprendere ogni altra appropriata azione che riterremo adatta.

5.8.3 Nel caso in cui gli acquisti non siano ritirati entro sette giorni dalla data della vendita, sia che sia stato effettuato o meno il pagamento, Voi sarete tenuti al pagamen-to di un costo di magazzinaggio giornaliero pari a Chf 2.- per articolo oltre a qualsiasi altro costo di movimentazione ove applicabile. Non sarete autorizzati a ritirare il Lot-to fino a che tutti gli addebiti in sospeso siano stati onorati unitamente al pagamento di tutte le altre somme a noi dovute.

5.9 In caso di inadempienzaSe Voi vi rendete inadempienti nel pagamento di un Lotto secondo quanto stabilito dalle presenti Condizioni di vendita:

5.9.1 ci riserviamo il diritto di inibirla dal poter fare offerte nelle nostre future aste indipendentemente dal fatto che precedenti inadempienze siano state sanate; e 5.9.2 Voi acconsentite che noi comunichiamo i dettagli di tali inadempienze ad altre case d’asta e piattaforme di aste online, incluso il Vostro nome, indirizzo, natura e data dell’inadempienza. Le case d’asta o le piattaforme di aste online che ricevono queste informazioni, possono fare affidamento sulle medesime per decidere se entrare in relazione con Voi.

5.10 Rimborso in caso di Falso

5.10.1 Una vendita sarà cancellata e la somma pagata vi verrà rimborsata se un Lotto (a parte i Lotti misti non descritti nel catalogo), da noi venduto venga provato essere un Falso. Tuttavia non saremo obbligati a rimborsare alcuna somma se (a) la descrizione del catalogo o la comunicazione fatta in sala nel giorno dell’asta corri-spondeva all’opinione generalmente accettata da studiosi o esperti in quel momento o correttamente indicava che c’era un conflitto di opinioni, o (b) può essere dimostrato che il Lotto è un Falso solo attraverso, sia un procedimento scientifico non general-mente accettato per l’uso fino a dopo la pubblicazione del catalogo, sia attraverso un procedimento che alla data dell’asta fosse irragionevolmente costoso o impraticabile o che potesse causare danno al Lotto. Inoltre dovreste tenere in considerazione che il rimborso può essere ottenuto solo se sono rispettate le seguenti condizioni:


5.10.1.1 Voi dovete comunicarci per iscritto entro sette giorni dal ricevimento del Lotto/i che secondo Voi il Lotto in questione è un falso;

5.10.1.2 Voi dovete dunque ritornarci l’articolo entro quattordici giorni dal ricevi-mento del Lotto/I nelle stesse condizioni esistenti alla data dell’asta; e

5.10.1.3 non appena ritornato il Lotto, Voi dovete produrci una prova soddisfa-cente che il Lotto è un Falso e che Voi siete in grado di trasferirci il pieno diritto sul lotto stesso, libero da qualsiasi pretesa di terze parti.

5.10.1.4 Voi dovrete fornirci tutte le prove ottenute che il Lotto è un Falso entro 7 giorni dalla loro ricezione.

5.10.2 In nessuna circostanza saremo richiesti di pagare in vostro favore più di quanto da Voi pagato per il Lotto in questione e non potrete esercitare alcuna pretesa di pagamento di interessi.

5.10.3 Il beneficio di questa garanzia non può essere trasferito ed è di esclusiva pertinenza della persona a cui la fattura originale è stata emessa relativamente al Lotto venduto e che, dal momento della vendita, è rimasto il proprietario del Lotto senza essersi liberato di alcun interesse in esso in favore di terze parti.

5.10.4 Noi saremo autorizzati a fare affidamento su qualsiasi procedimento scientifico o meno per stabilire che il Lotto non è un Falso, sia che tale processo fosse o meno in uso alla data dell’asta.

Noi non avremo alcuna responsabilità nei vostri confronti se ci viene impedito o subiamo ritardi nell’eseguire i nostri adempimenti in base alle presenti Condizioni generali di vendita o nel portare avanti il nostro business a causa di atti, eventi, omis-sioni, o incidenti fuori dal nostro ragionevole controllo, includendo (senza limitazio-ni) scioperi, serrate o altre vertenze aziendali (sia che coinvolgano nostro personale o personale di terzi), mancanza di servizi di pubblica utilità o di rete di trasporto, eventi straordinari, imprevedibili ed inevitabili, dovuti a cause naturali, guerra, rivolta, sommosse civili, danno volontario, rispetto di qualsiasi legge od ordine governativo, norma, regolamento o direttiva, incidente, guasti di impianti o macchinari, incendio, inondazioni, tempeste o omissioni di fornitori o subfornitori;

INVOICING AND SHIPPING – FATTURAZIONE E SPEDIZIONE

Sample invoice – Esempi di fatturazione

N.B: - In the case of shipping lots abroad, the Swiss VAT will not be charged. VAT and other charges are subject to the regulation of each country and are on the responsibility of the buyer. In caso di spedizione di merce all’estero l’IVA svizzera non è addebitata. L’IVA e gli eventuali dazi a cui la merce sarà sottoposta nel paese in cui viene esportata sono invece a totale carico dell’acquirente. - The above mentioned shipping charges are valid only up to 500 gr. Above 500 gr., for bulky parcels charges will be calculated individually. In the absence of other instructions of the customer, we will ship the lots by postal mail within Switzerland and abroad with Fedex. I costi di spedizione sopraindicati sono applicati per un peso fino a 500 gr. Oltre i 500 gr. e per spedizioni voluminose verranno presi accordi particolari. In assenza di diverse istruzioni del cliente, spediremo via Posta all’interno della Svizzera e tramite Fedex all’estero. - Insurance charges are calculated as a percentage of the hammer price including charges and commissions. Le spese assicurative sono calcolate in percentuale sul prezzo di aggiudicazione commissioni e spese incluse.

Collecting lots at the salePurchasers who decide to collect their lots at Spink Switzerland’s office have to pay swiss VAT. VAT will be refunded by sending us the export document cancelled by the Swiss customs.

Ritiro della merce da parte del clienteIn caso di ritiro della merce da parte del cliente in asta o presso i nostri uffici, l’IVA svizzera sarà addebitata in fattura e successivamente rimborsata al ricevimento del documento di esportazione timbrato dalla dogana svizzera.
