The property is otherwise sold "AS IS" All statements by Barsby Auctions in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Barsby Auctions of any kind. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defect imply the absence of any others.

Neither Barsby Auctions nor the Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material.
