Written bids must be submitted on fully completed forms as provided by us, and we must receive them no later than 24 hours before the start of the auction by post or fax. If there are several written bids at the same amount for the same work of art, the bid received first will be accepted if no other bid is subsequently submitted; if bids are received on the same day, lots are drawn to decide which will be accepted. You are asked to take note of the instructions on our forms.

Telephone bids are relayed by a person present in the auction hall; they can be recorded. By applying to bid by telephone, the bidder agrees to the recording being made. You are asked to take note of the instructions on our forms.
