Popular in 19th century Italy, micromosaics were constructed from small pieces of tesserae, typically made from glass or enamel. One method of creation involved melting the glass, pulling it to thin rods, allowing it to cool, then cutting it into tiny pieces arranged in a portrait, scene, or landscape. This pair of earrings on black background exemplify the technique used in revivalist jewelry.

Josiah Wedgwood began manufacturing pottery in 1759. His skill as not only a potter, but as a businessman, propelled him to create a successful practice. In 1895, the company name was changed to Josiah Wedgwood and Sons Ltd. Virtually all forms of pottery were made, including teapots, decorative bowls, and vases. Items of note include a light cream-colored earthenware, often called ‘Queens Ware’; the utilization of pearlware, jasperware, and basaltes, an unglazed black stoneware. Their creations extended beyond tableware, as they produced jewelry as well. They fashioned ceramic beads, plaques or cameos into necklaces, rings, brooches, buckles, medallions, combs, and scent bottles.

Polished gold duck on wheels with circular-cut ruby accents 18k yellow gold Signed J. Lacloche 1 × 1 ½ ins; Gross weight 4.2 dwts
Jacques Lacloche, son of Jacques, one of the four brothers of Lacloche Freres, revived the fine house in 1933. He dared to bring modern design and a touch of whimsy that emerged in the jewelry of the 1940s and 50s, including Les Saisons, gold female figural pins that each depict a different season. Another whimsy series would be this duck pull toy and a rolling horse scooter. By the late 60s Jacques abandoned jewelry to establish himself as a gallerist in Paris dealing in modern design. L’Ecole des Art Joailliers of Van Cleef & Arpels held an exhibition in the winter of 2019 on occasion of the publication of a complimentary book Lacloche Joailliers by Laurence Mouillefarine.

L I T E R AT U R E : Jewelry as Sculpture as Jewelry, Newby Haspeslaugh, pg. 48. illuatrates similar piece
Born in Paris but of Venezuelan descent, Marisol Escobar (1930-2016) was an artist who explored many mediums. She is best known for her wood assemblage sculptures depicting human form. Gaining notortiety in the late 50s, Marisol was a part of the New York City Greenwich Village art scene, exhibiting alongside Rauschenberg and being good friends with Andy Warhol. However, she forged her own way with her graceful and unique style. Difficult to classify, she combined strains of Surrealism, Folk Art and Dada, often portraying herself, as in this gold self-portrait ring, or people of influence such as political leaders and movie stars. A similar ring was exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, in the 1973 exhibition Jewelry as Sculpture as Jewelry. Additionally, the original wax of the ring was exhibited in the circulating exhibition organized by the Museum of Modern Art, Jewelry by Contemporary Painters and Sculptors, 1967-1968; Hessisches Landesmuseum in Darmstadt and Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam.

If there were a reward for Modernist 20th Century watch design, the Patek Phillippe Beta 21 3587 would surely win an award. This watch is the result of the Swiss watch maker’s efforts to keep up with quartz movement innovation in the 70s. Patek Philippe went the extra mile to create something futuristic and elegant. The television dial and the German “swiss cheese” band in brushed 18k gold complimented the new technology. However, the Swiss soon realized that the demand for old-fashioned time keeping hadn’t gone away and quartz movements were not where they wanted to focus their watch making efforts. This wristwatch has become a rare collectible throw back and a fashionable statement piece for today.

Set with round brilliant-cut diamonds, circular-cut rubies, emeralds, and sapphires 18k yellow gold Signed G. Nardi 1 ½ × 2 ins; Gross weight 18.7 dwts
The Venetian jeweler, Giulio Nardi, was most celebrated for his ‘Moretti Veneziano’ brooches. Dating from the mid 19th Century, they typically depict a Venetian Moor, carved from black chalcedony, ebony, or sardonyx. The figure often suggests Othello, the Moor of Venice. Originating as Venetian souvenirs and love tokens, by the 1930s their popularity soon became evident. This particular example is exceptional in the unique candelabra sconce design recalling siren maiden sconces or the candelabra lights on the bridges of Venice. Nardi Venezia continues the family jewelry business today in the Piazzo San Marco.

On October 03, 1969 Cartier launched a collection of 200 jewels entitled Astrological, Underwater, and Geometric all designed by the young Canadian jewelry designer, Roger Lucas, with a two-week exhibition at its flagship boutique. The jewelry maison, Lucas, was already a well-established shopping destination for fine jewelry in Montreal, Canada. Roger Lucas took them to new heights with international exposure. Lucas considered each one-of-a-kind jewel a miniature sculpture. He stated for the press in 1969, “Wear your rings by day, and let them watch over you from your table at night.” This ring is designed with an angular bottom to stand alone.

The luxury brand S. T. Dupont planted its roots in Paris when Simon Tissot Dupont, photographer to Napolean III, decided to create fancy travel trunks for the wealthy. The company was met with success as royalty, leading screen and stage actors, and wealthy patrons purchased Dupont luggage. In 1941, a Maharaja purchased 100 lighters to distribute as gifts. Then, in the 1970s, Jackie Kennedy requested a pen to accompany her lighter. The name Dupont is not as familiar in the watch category, but this bold, limited edition RAID watch helped to change that. RAID is the special forces in France established in 1985 with the motto “Servir Sans Faillir”. This watch marked their 25th anniversary.

Nuala Jamison (1948-2016) was considered an innovator in the specialty of acrylic jewelry. Born in Northern Ireland, much of her inspiration came from the Irish coastline as well as city landscapes. She began her studies at Belfast, then focused on jewelry design at Central Saint Martins in London. As she progressed in her career, Jamison became an art educator of jewelry at Morley College in London. She chose to focus on how the wearer interpreted color and light, developing new ways of dyeing acrylic to heighten their reflectiveness. Jamison dually played with bold, contrasting colors, while other times choosing softly shaded hues.

In this Agreement, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Rago/Wright” or similar terms mean Rago Wright, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and “you,” “your,” “buyer,” “bidder” or similar terms mean the individual, corporation or other entity bidding on or buying a lot from us at auction, through the Internet or other means (with the foregoing parties sometimes called a “Party” and together “Parties”).
Capitalized terms have the meanings given in Attachment 1 – Definitions. This Agreement contains mandatory arbitration dispute resolution at Section 51.
YO U H E R E BY E N T E R I N TO T H I S AG R E E M E N T
1. You Agree
By registering to bid, bidding, or otherwise purchasing a lot from Rago/Wright, whether in person, by absentee bid or through an agent, you hereby enter into, and agree to be bound by and to comply with, this Agreement.
2. Rago/Wright as Agent
The Agreement governs the relationship between you, as a bidders and/or buyer, on the one hand, and Rago/Wright and sellers, on the other hand. You acknowledge that Rago/Wright acts as an agent for the seller, unless otherwise indicated in a Lot Particular, in a catalogue or at the time of auction. On occasion, Rago/Wright may own a lot directly, in which case we will act in a principal capacity as a consignor, or a company affiliated with Rago/Wright may own a lot, in which case we will act as agent for that company, or Rago/Wright or an affiliated company may have a legal, beneficial or financial interest in a lot as a secured creditor or otherwise.
B I D D I N G AT AU CT I O N
3. Registration
To bid in an auction, you will (a) create an account with us; and (b) register for that auction in accordance with our registration procedures.
4. Qualifying To Bid
Verification of Your Identity As a condition of bidding or participating in any auction or sale of one or more lots, we may require you to do all or any of the following: (a) Establish credit and verify your creditworthiness by providing a valid credit card number, credit references and an initial deposit, which may include a pre-authorization hold of a portion of the estimate of the lots on which you may bid; (b) Verify your identity by providing us with a government issued photo identification and a valid credit card
number; (c) Verify your address by providing us with a valid government-issued identification, a utility bill, bank statement and/or a recent postal envelope; (d) Verify you satisfy an age minimum by providing us with age-bearing identification; and (e) Furnish us with such other documents as we may request.
Verification of Your Entity and Identity (a) If you represent an entity, we may require you to verify the status of your entity, as well as your entity’s beneficial owners, by providing us with (i) a list of that entity’s shareholders, members, partners, trustees or beneficiaries; (ii) a copy of your entity’s charter or foundational documents, and/or a good standing certificate; (iii) the entity’s shareholders agreement, operating agreement, partnership agreement or trust agreement; and (iv) any of the documents or verifications listed above for any of your entity’s directors and officers; and (b) If you are bidding as agent, we may require you to provide a letter of authorization from your principal, as well as any of the documents or verifications listed above.
Verification Activities Verification activities may be handled by third parties who specialize in remote verification of people and companies. You understand and agree that if we refer you or require you to submit identification or personal identifying information to third party verification services, that any information you provide or interactions you have with them will be subject to the third party’s terms, conditions and privacy policies. We will not be a part of, or be responsible for, the actions or failures to act of, the verification activities of those third parties.
Minimum Deposits We may require you, as a bidder on a lot with an estimate of $5,000 or more: (a) to provide an initial deposit of a portion of the low estimate; and (b) to grant us the right to charge your credit card all or a portion of the selling price on the date of the auction.
5. Your Bid is an Offer
Any bid you submit can and may be the winning bid for a particular lot. Your bid constitutes an offer to purchase the lot. If we accept your bid, you become contractually bound to buy the lot in accordance with that bid. A bid can be accepted by Rago/Wright (a) by our auctioneer as the last, highest bid in an auction; or (b) by us as an acceptable offer for a lot in a Private Sale (such accepted bid or offer, “Winning Bid”). If your bid is a Winning Bid, you agree to pay us the amount of your bid and the Buyer’s Premium for such lot and assume all risk of loss and damage to such lot, in addition to any obligations, costs and expenses relating to its handling, shipping, insurance, taxes and export as set forth herein.
6. Inspection
All sales are final. You are responsible for satisfying yourself about the condition or any other matter concerning each purchased lot. You are advised to personally examine any lot on which you intend to bid prior to the auction and/or sale. By bidding on a lot, you hereby represent, warrant and covenant that you have examined the condition of the lot to your satisfaction and have no objections with its condition.
CO N D U CT O F AU CT I O N
7. Auction
A lot will be sold to its highest bidder in an auction as determined in our sole and exclusive judgment. At auction, we may be represented by one or more auctioneers. We may exclusively determine the conduct of any auction, including, without limitation, whether, when and/or if to advance the bidding, to reject any bid offered, to withdraw any lot, to reoffer and resell any lot, and to resolve any dispute in connection with such sale. Our determination in management of an auction or sale is final and shall be binding upon you and all other participants in such sale.
8. US Currency
All auctions will be conducted in the currency of the United States of America.
9. Estimates
We may set estimated price ranges (low, mid and high) for a lot. A ‘low estimate’ is the lowest potential price in the range; the ‘high estimate’ is the highest potential price in the range; and the ‘mid estimate’ is the median between the two. Pre-sale estimates are intended as guides for prospective bidders. Estimates are preliminary only and are subject to revision by us from time to time in our sole discretion. We make no guarantees, representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, including, without limitation, regarding the sale price of any lot, whether the lot will sell at all; the price realized at a post-auction sale, or the price realized upon resale, which may be substantially different from our estimates.
10. Condition Reports and Descriptions
As a courtesy, condition reports for any lot are available from Rago/Wright prior to the sale, but Rago/Wright assumes no responsibility for errors and omissions contained in any such report, a Rago/Wright catalogue or other description of a lot that we may make available. Except as set forth in Sections 42.1 (a) and (b), any statements made by Rago/Wright with respect to a lot whether in a condition report, a Rago/Wright catalogue or on the Rago/Wright website, orally or in writing, are intended as statements of opinion only, are not to be relied upon as statements of fact and do not constitute representations or warranties of any kind. Any description of a lot’s dimensions and weights is approximate. Descriptions we make about lots may not describe all faults or restorations. No description or report about a lot is a substitute for your own examination of a lot.
11. Bidding Increments
Bids at auction must be submitted in the following Bidding Increments:
FROM TO INCREMENT
0 300 25 300 1,000 50 1,000 2,000 100 2,000 3,000 200 3,000 5,000 250 5,000 10,000 500 10,000 20,000 1,000 20,000 32,000 2,000 32,000 38,000 3,000 38,000 42,000 2,000 42,000 48,000 3,000 48,000 50,000 2,000 50,000 100,000 5,000 100,000 200,000 10,000 200,000 AND UP 20,000
Nonconforming bids will not be executed, honored or accepted. However, since we regulate the bidding, we may change the bidding increments in our discretion.
12. Reserve
We may offer each lot subject to a confidential minimum price below which we will not sell the lot (the “Reserve”). The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the Reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. We prohibit sellers from bidding on their own lots, but we may seek to satisfy the reserve by bidding on behalf of the seller at the auction up to the reserve. We will endeavor to indicate in the catalogue or by saleroom announcement or notice when parties with an interest in a lot, for example a beneficiary of an estate, may bid on such lot.
13. Absentee Bids
As a convenience to qualified bidders who cannot be present in person on the day of an auction, we will use reasonable efforts to execute bids you submit to us in writing or by phone (“Absentee Bid”), subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Written Absentee Bids (a) Due. Absentee Bids submitted in writing by mail, delivery, fax, email or a Rago/Wright bidding form on our website must be received by us at least two (2) hours prior to the start of an auction’s published start time. (b) Contingency Bids and Plus Bids. If you cannot be available during the auction, but you submit a written Absentee Bid, you may mark your written bid as a Contingency Bid or a Plus Bid. A “Contingency Bid” is a bid with two or more bidding amounts. A “Plus Bid” is a bid with your highest bid amount PLUS its next bidding increment that you direct us to make on your behalf if another bidder makes your highest absentee bid.
Telephone Bids (a) Due. Absentee bids submitted by phone must be received by us no later 30 minutes before a lot goes on the block. (b) Bids. We will attempt to call you at up to two (2) phone numbers you send to us. However, there can be no assurance that we will succeed in reaching you by phone or accurately placing your bids. (c) Phone Line and Agent. We guarantee you access to one of our phone agents for bidding during an auction if we receive your request by fax, mail, phone, or through a form requesting phone bidding on our website online by 4:00 p.m. on the day prior
to the auction. However, we do not have the capacity to assign phone agents to clients who want to listen only or who will not bid the minimum selling price. Therefore, if you request to reserve a phone agent for bidding, you must be willing to open bidding and bid to the low estimate subject to this Agreement. All calls will be recorded for record-keeping, quality assurance, and training purposes.
Absentee Bidding Conditions (a) Information. In addition to fulfilling any registration and qualification requirements under Section 3 (‘Registration’) and Section 4 (‘Qualifying to Bid’), all Absentee Bids must include (i) the correct lot name and number; (ii) your minimum and maximum bid amounts; and (iii) your name and contact information. (b) Confirmation. We endeavor to send each person who submitted an Absentee Bid to us one (1) or more days before the auction with a bid confirmation by 5:00 pm on the day prior to the auction. If you do not receive a bid confirmation, please call us. When you do receive a bid confirmation, you are solely responsible to check it for accuracy. We cannot be liable for errors in bidding including situations in which our bid confirmation contained errors that you did not correct. (c) Disclaimers. We endeavor to handle all absentee bids as your agent, based on your directions. We bid that auction’s bidding increment above the previous bid up to your maximum bid amount. (See Section 11 ‘Bidding Increments’). We assume no responsibility for a failure to execute any such bid, or for errors or omissions made in connection with the execution of any such bid. We will place your Absentee Bids at our discretion and at your risk. We enable Absentee Bids as a convenience to our customers, but while we will make every effort to execute your instructions, we cannot be held liable or responsible for any errors or any failure to bid.
Third-Party Internet Bidding Services (a) Third Party Bidding Platforms. We engage third party online bidding platforms to collect or facilitate auction bids (“Bidding Platforms”), each of which levy a fee for their services, and have their own rules on fees and how to bid and buy online using these Bidding Platforms. Rago/Wright has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any Bidding Platforms. Your dealings with Bidding Platforms are solely between you and such Bidding Platforms. We encourage you to be aware of, and to read, the terms and conditions and privacy policy of any Bidding Platforms that you visit. You expressly release Rago/Wright from any and all liability arising from your use of any Bidding Platform or other third-party website or service. (b) Waiver. Absentee Bids left with Bidding Platforms are released to Rago/Wright when a lot comes up for sale. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, WILL WE AND OUR SELLERS
BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR ANY
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR THE INABILITY
TO USE, THESE BIDDING PLATFORMS.
Cancel Old Absentee Bids If you submit an Absentee Bid to us directly or through a Bidding Platform but then attend the auction in person, bid by phone or by any other means, it is solely your responsibility to cancel any or all of your submitted Absentee Bids prior to the start of the auction.
If you do not or cannot cancel your previously submitted Absentee Bids, regardless of reason, you will be held responsible for the purchase of any lot for which you have placed a Winning Bid.
14. Auction Results
Preliminary auction results will be available online on our website shortly after each auction. Final auction results will be available online once we have audited and verified all sales and bids.
15. The Record of the Sale
Rago/Wright’s records of sale will constitute the factual, accurate record of all transactions you participate in under this Agreement for purposes of any disputes. You agree that if there is a discrepancy between our records and any other records or messages related to a sale or transaction in a lot, our records of sale will govern.
16. Withdrawal
We may withdraw a lot from auction for any reason and with no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.
PAY M E N T
17. Invoicing
All successful bidders will be sent invoices by e-mail or mail (if we do not have an email address on file) shortly following an auction. PAYMENT ON EACH INVOICE FOR
A WINNING BID IS DUE ON RECEIPT OF THE INVOICE. You acknowledge and agree that we may charge your credit card for All Charges.
18. Payment For and Collection of Purchases
All Charges If your bid is a Winning Bid, you agree to pay the following charges associated with your purchase of such lot: (a) The Hammer Price; (b) The Buyer’s Premium (which, together with the Hammer Price, is sometimes called the “Sale Fees”); (c) Any applicable sales tax, late payment charges, Storage Fees, credit card charges, Enforcement Costs, Bidding Platform fees and charges and other costs, damages or charges assessed in accordance with this Agreement (collectively, the “Buyer Costs”, and together with the Sale Fees, “All Charges”).
Payment Procedure You will pay All Charges immediately following Rago/Wright’s delivery of an invoice to you following our acceptance of your Winning Bid unless other arrangements have been approved by Rago/Wright in advance. If Rago/Wright approves of such other arrangement for payment, Rago/Wright may at its discretion require you to make a nonrefundable down payment on All Charges. All payments must be made in US Dollars, in any of the following acceptable forms of payment: (a) Cash; (b) Check, with acceptable identification; (c) Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express; (d) PayPal at Rago/Wright’s PayPal link: paypal.me/billpayragowright.com.
Credit Card Charges We may charge and collect an additional 2% of payments made by credit card.
Late Payment If payment is not received in full on an invoice hereunder within fifteen (15) days of the invoice’s date, we may charge, and you will pay, interest on the outstanding amount at a rate of 1.5% per month.
19. Enforcement Costs
You will reimburse us for the amount of all expenses we incur, including attorneys’ fees and court costs, in exercising or enforcing any of our rights hereunder or under applicable law, together with interest on all such amounts at 1.5% per month (the “Enforcement Costs”) within fifteen (15) days of the date of the invoice for such Enforcement Costs.

20. New Jersey and Illinois
All purchases picked up at or delivered to a New Jersey address will be taxed at the New Jersey state tax rate, currently 6.625%. All purchases picked up at or delivered to an Illinois address will be taxed at the Illinois tax rate, currently 6.25%. All purchases will also be subject to applicable city and county taxes.
21. Nexus
On June 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court decided South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., enabling states to impose sales tax responsibilities on “remote” sellers, i.e., sellers without a physical presence in the state. Since the ruling, several states have responded by implementing legislation requiring remote sellers to collect sales tax when the total dollar value of purchases sent to that state exceeds a set threshold. Each state sets its own threshold. Exceeding that threshold is known as creating an economic nexus. Like all other remote sellers, Rago/Wright is now required to collect Sales/Use Tax from buyers in these states when the total dollar value of purchases sent to that state creates a nexus. When this occurs, you will see sales tax included on your invoice. The sales tax rate is determined by the state, county, and city where purchases are sent.
22. Resale Certificate
If you have a valid resale certificate on file with us, you will be excepted from being charged the Sales/Use tax. Please send your completed, valid Resale Certificates to: [email protected] or Fax: 609-397-9377.
23. Warning: Use Tax
Even if we have not achieved nexus with your particular state, you acknowledge that it is still your responsibility to pay the proper use tax on your purchases.
P I C K-U P A N D STO R AG E
24. Pick-Up and Removal
You must remove each lot you have agreed to purchase hereunder (sometimes referred to as a “Purchased Lot”) from our premises no later than fourteen (14) days after the sale date of the auction (or date of Private Sale if applicable) (the “Sale Date”). You are solely responsible for removal of your Purchased Lot from Rago/Wright facilities and all costs associated with packing, insurance, shipment and delivery of your Purchased Lot to your designated destination.
25. Procedures for Pick-Up and Removal
Times and Days You may pick up your Purchased Lot from our facilities during our normal business hours, if you provide us at least 24 hours notice to arrange pick-up. Our facilities are open Monday – Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but closed on government holidays and any Monday following weekend sales held at that location. You must supply and bring your own packing materials. Weekend pick-ups may be made by special arrangement and by appointment only.
Shippers If you choose to ship a Purchased Lot from our facility, you are solely responsible for the shipment. We will, at your written direction, release your Purchased Lot to a third-party shipper to pack and ship it. We will work with any shipper of your choosing. Please make sure your shipper carries insurance. We are not responsible for any damage or loss that occurs while your objects are in another’s custody or care. If you choose a shipping method that we have advised against, we may require a waiver from you acknowledging this. For the avoidance of doubt, we will not be responsible for any damage or loss that occurs to a lot once we release it to a third-party shipper.
Referred Shippers We may, as a courtesy to you and solely at our discretion and your risk, provide or arrange packing, shipping or similar logistical services, or refer you to third parties who specialize in these services. Any such services referred, provided or arranged by us are at your sole risk and expense; we assume no responsibility for any act or omission of any party in connection with any such service or reference, and we make no representations or warranties regarding such parties or their services. You expressly release Rago/Wright from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party services.
International Shipments All international customs, duties, and other tariffs are your responsibility. We and all third-party shippers will declare the Hammer Price plus the Buyer’s Premium as the value of a lot in all cases.
Oversized Lots Oversized lots are objects such as furniture, andirons, floor vases, or any other item whose safe packing will exceed the limits of common carriers. The delivery of oversized, large, heavy, or expensive objects is not an inexpensive proposition and we urge you to consider this before bidding.
26. Deadlines for Pick-Up, Storage, Abandonment
As stated above, you must retrieve your Purchased Lots from Rago/Wright’s facilities within 14 days of the Sale Date. And, if you fail to retrieve your Purchased Lot within thirty (30) days after the Sale Date (such 30-day period, the “Retrieval Period”), we may, without further notice to you, (a) deliver the Purchased Lot to you at your expense (and invoice you as Buyer Costs); or (b) sell such Purchased Lot at auction without Reserve at a place and time we determine in our sole discretion; or (c) continue to store your Purchased Lot on our, or a third-party’s, premises and charge you a storage fee of $10 per day per lot (“Storage Fee”). You will pay all such Storage Fees and other fees and charges.
27. Consequences of Late Pick-Up Abandoned Property
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Rago/Wright has no duty to store any lot indefinitely. Any Purchased Lot that is still in our possession sixty (60) days after the end of the Retrieval Period (i.e. 90 days after the Sale Date) will be deemed abandoned by you and title to it, to the extent it has passed to you, will pass to us (such abandoned property, “Abandoned Property”). You authorize Rago/Wright to discard or sell any Abandoned Property and to keep any proceeds from the sale of Abandoned Property. You hereby release Rago/Wright of and from any claims related to such Abandoned Property (including without limitation claims for purchase price refunds, possession of such lot or other damages or losses). You acknowledge and agree that Rago/Wright is not responsible for damage or loss that occurs to Abandoned Property and that Rago/Wright is not responsible for insuring Abandoned Property after the Retrieval Period. You agree that this remedy is reasonable in light of the costs Rago/Wright would have to incur to continue to store and process purchased lots after sale.
28. Full Payment
You will not be permitted to claim or take possession of any lot until All Charges you owe have been paid in full.
29. Export, Import, Endangered Species Licenses and Permits
An export or import license may be required for the export or import of your Purchased Lot to your designated destination. It is your sole responsibility to familiarize yourself with International, U.S. Federal and State laws or requirements regarding the necessary export, import, or other permit required. In addition, many countries prohibit or limit the import of property made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, Brazilian rosewood, rhinoceros’ horn or tortoiseshell, irrespective of age, percentage or value. We make no representations or warranties as to whether any lot is or is not subject to export or import restrictions or any embargoes and will have no responsibility with regard to these matters. You represent, warrant and covenant that, before bidding on a lot, you have examined to your satisfaction whether a license is required to bring the lot to your designated destination or any other area of interest to you. It is solely your responsibility to comply with these laws and to obtain any necessary export, import and endangered species licenses or permits. Failure to obtain a license or permit will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment of All Charges for the lot. We will not rescind the sale of a lot that is transferred to you and later seized by government authorities due to the presence of endangered species material. As a courtesy to clients, we may advise people who inquire about lots containing potentially regulated plant or animal material, but we do not accept liability for errors or for failing to advise on lots containing protected or regulated species.
T I T L E A N D R I S K O F LO S S
30. Title
Title to a Purchased Lot will not pass to you (or the third-party buyer if applicable) until Rago/Wright has received All Charges for a lot.
31. Risk of Loss
Notwithstanding passage of title, risk of loss to your Purchased Lot passes immediately to you: (a) when you or your agent or a shipper pick-ups and takes possession of it; or (b) on the thirty-first (31st) day after the Sale Date (whichever occurs first). We are not responsible for any damage or loss that occurs to your Purchased Lot once risk of loss passes to you or your agent or shipper. Further, if for any reason, you return your Purchased Lot back to us, risk of loss remains with you until your Purchased Lot is delivered to us at our door.
Exceptions Under no circumstances will Rago/Wright or its insurers be liable for damage caused by changes in humidity or temperature, conditions or defects inherent to the lot, normal wear and tear, war or acts of terrorism. Payments for loss are limited by Section 31.2 (Loss Payment Amounts and Limits).
Loss Payment Amounts and Limits You acknowledge and agree that your sole and exclusive remedy for and with respect to any loss or damage to your Purchased Lot for which Rago/Wright is liable pursuant to this Agreement will be receipt of the amounts prescribed in this Section 31.2. Accordingly, for any loss or damage to your Purchased Lot for which you have paid All Charges and for which we bear the risk of loss at the time of the event causing the loss, you will be entitled to the following: (a) Total Loss. For a lot that suffers a Partial Loss, the lot’s Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium. (b) Partial Loss. For a lot that suffers a Partial Loss: (i) if you choose to refrain from repairing or restoring the lot, we will pay either (at our election) (A) the amount of depreciation in value from the Hammer Price as a result of the loss (and you will keep title to the lot); or (B) the lot’s Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium (but we or our insurer will take title to the lot); but (ii) if you choose to repair or restore the lot, we will bear the costs to repair or restore the lot, approved by us and our insurer in advance (and you will retain title to the lot).
R E M E D I E S
32. Security
As security for full payment to us of All Charges in accordance with this Agreement, you grant to us a security interest in your Purchased Lot in accordance with this Agreement (and any proceeds thereof), and in any other property or money of the buyer in our possession or coming into our possession subsequently (“Security Interest”). We may apply any such money or treat any such property in any manner permitted under the Uniform Commercial Code and/or any other applicable law. You hereby grant us the right to prepare and file any documents to protect and confirm our Security Interest including but not limited to a UCC-1 Financing Statement.
33. Breach
If a buyer fails to make timely payment as required in this Agreement, or breaches any other covenant, representation or warranty in this Agreement, we may, in our discretion, exercise any remedies legally available to us, including, but not limited to, the following: (a) cancel the sale of the lot and any other sale of a lot to you; (b) resell the lot with or without Reserve; (c) retain all amounts you previously paid to us, which will constitute a processing and restocking fee (which you acknowledge would be reasonable in light of the costs we would have to incur to process your breach and attempt to re-auction or resell the lot); (d) reject any bids by you at future auctions; (e) set-off any amounts owed by Rago/Wright to you in satisfaction of unpaid amounts; and/or (f) take any other action we deem necessary or appropriate under the circumstances.
34. Confession of Judgment
Notwithstanding Section 51, if you default on payment of All Charges under this Agreement, you hereby authorize any attorney to appear in a court of record and confess judgment against you in favor of Rago/Wright for the payment of All Charges on your Purchased Lot. Accordingly, the confession of judgment may be without process and for any amount due under this Agreement including collection costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. This authorization is in addition to all other remedies available to Rago/Wright.
35. Recission/Voiding of Sale By Rago/Wright
If we become aware of a third party’s adverse claim relating to a lot purchased by you, we may, in our discretion, rescind the sale. Upon notice of our election to rescind a sale, you will promptly return such lot to us, at which time we will refund to you the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium you paid to us for such lot. This refund will represent your sole remedy against us in case of a rescission of sale under this paragraph, and you agree to waive all other remedies at law or equity with respect to the same. If you do not return such lot to us in accordance with this paragraph, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold Rago/Wright, its officers, directors, employees, agents and their successors and assigns, harmless from any damages, costs, liabilities or other losses (including attorney’s fees) arising as a result of such third party claim. In addition to the other rights of cancellation contained in this agreement, we may cancel a sale of a lot if we reasonably believe that completing the transaction is or may be unlawful or that the sale places us or the seller under any liability to anyone else or may damage our reputation.
36. AML
Rago/Wright is committed to detect and deter money laundering, to protect our sellers from failed transactions and to promote ethics and fairness in our transactions and those generally in the world of art and design. Accordingly, Rago/Wright may, at our discretion, refuse your participation in our sales, auctions or activities; cancel your registration with Rago/Wright; cancel or refuse to accept your bid for lots at any time prior to, during or even after the close of the sale; and require documentation and information to verify your identity or the identity
of the officers, directors or beneficial owners of the entity you represent and to verify the legality of the source and use of funds involved in a potential sale.
37. Privacy and Security
We will hold and process your personal information for use as described in, and in line with, our privacy policy at www.ragoarts.com/privacy-policy. All payment information relating to the sale is collected and processed directly by third-party payment processors, and not by Rago/Wright.
S P E C I A L P RO P E RT Y
38. Firearms
We only sell antique firearms as defined by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Due to state firearms regulations, all handguns, pistols, and revolvers will only be shipped via Federal Express and will only be delivered to a person who holds a Federal Firearms License or a Curios and Relics License. Handguns, pistols, and revolvers can only be picked up at our facilities by a person who holds a Federal Firearms License, or the proper handgun permits of the state where the handgun is sold, which must be shown and logged. There are no exceptions. No firearms will be sold or shipped internationally. It is your sole responsibility to familiarize yourself with your local laws and requirements for the possession of firearms; to identify and obtain any necessary license or permit prior to bidding; and to abide by all Federal, State and local laws and requirements. Neither Rago/Wright nor the seller makes any representations or warranties as to whether any lot is or is not subject to these regulations and will have no responsibility with regard to these matters.
39. Jewelry
For centuries, natural gemstones have been enhanced in a variety of ways, including heating, oiling and other methods. These treatments are accepted by the international jewelry and gemstone trade. We make no representations or warranties, express or implied, as to whether natural stones have been treated or enhanced, whether specifically referenced or not. All stones have been identified by standard gemological field tests, as the mounting allows, and we will make available to prospective buyers any gemological certificates in our possession. However, it will not always be feasible to obtain a qualified lab report on every stone we offer for sale. If you wish to have a grading or gemological report from an independent recognized laboratory such as the Gemological Institute of America, the European Gemological Laboratories or the American Gemological Institute, you may request one at your own expense or hire an independent adviser of your choosing at your expense. Weights given for stones we offer for sale are based solely on measurements and known gemological formulae; they are approximate, not exact. Weight may differ once a stone is removed from its setting. You are advised to verify weight estimates prior to bidding at auction.
40. Coins and Currency
All coins and currency are sold “as is” by us, except as to authenticity. You acknowledge and agree that grading is not an exact science, but a matter of opinion as to condition and other attributes; and that grading can and will differ among third party grading services (even though consensus grading is employed by most), independent experts, dealers, collectors and auction houses, including our own. Opinion as to the grading, condition or other attributes of any lots may have a material effect on value. Coins and currency are sold without any additional express or implied warranty, including, but not limited to, (a) grade; (b) referencing the opinion of a third-party grading service; (c) with no reference to the opinion of a third-party grading service; (d) with reference to our opinion as to grading; (e) subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service for determination or certification; (f) encapsulated and therefore unable to be physically examined.
We reserve the right to differ with the grades assigned to any lot, by certificate or otherwise, regardless of the grading service, and will not be bound by any prior or subsequent opinion, determination or certification by third-party grading services including, but not limited to, National Guaranty Company (NGC), Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), Paper Money Guaranty (PMG) and Currency Grading and Authentication (CGA) or any other any grading service, third party organization or dealer. There is no guarantee or warranty implied or expressed that the grading standards we use will meet the standards of any grading service at any time in the future. We have graded uncertified coins and currency with reference to the current interpretation of the American Numismatic Association’s standards at the time of grading.
We may re-grade any lot for any reasons, including, but not limited to a change of grading standards, differences in opinion, mishandling over time.
We will not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising from any encapsulated coins or currency. In any such instance, your remedy, if any, shall be solely against the service certifying and you hereby agree that you will have no remedy against us.
Please note that certain types of plastic may react with a coin’s metal or transfer plasticizer to notes, causing damage. Avoid storage in materials that are not inert.

41. As Is, Where Is
Except as expressly stated herein in Section 42.1 (a) and (b), each lot is sold “as is” “where is”, with no representation or warranty of any kind from any party (including Rago/Wright or the seller of the lot), express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
42. Warranties
Warranties That Are Included (a) Limited Warranty. For each lot, the seller has represented and warranted to us, and represents and warrants to you, that the seller is the owner of such lot or is acting as
authorized agent of the owner of the lot and has the right to transfer title to the lot free of all liens, claims, and encumbrances (the “Limited Warranty”). (b) AUTHORSHIP WARRANTY. Subject to the following terms and conditions, Rago/Wright warrants, for a period of two (2) years after the Sale Date, that a lot’s Authorship is true and correct. “Authorship” means the creator, designer, culture or source of origin of a lot that is specifically identified in BOLD and CAPITAL type in the lot’s current catalogue, but not including supplemental text or information included in any other descriptions (whether or not in the catalogue). (the “Authorship Warranty”)
Warranty Exclusions and Conditions Notwithstanding the foregoing, each warranty of any kind or nature on any lot sold by Rago/Wright will be subject to the following conditions:
(a) All warranties specifically exclude: (i) Any lot description that states there is a conflict of specialist opinion. (ii) Any typographical errors in lot descriptions or catalogue. (iii) Any lot description listed as “in the style of”, “attributed to”, “the school of”, “in the manner of”, or “after”. (iv) Wear on furniture, flakes, surface scratches, or manufacturing flaws in glass or ceramic lots. (v) Any lot for which, at the time of sale, the statements regarding Authorship made by Rago/Wright conform to the generally accepted opinion of scholars, specialists or other experts when published, despite subsequent discovery of information that modifies such generally accepted opinions. (vi) If the lot’s failure to conform to its Authorship Warranty can only shown by a scientific process which, on the date we published the Authorship description, was not available or generally accepted for use, or which was unreasonably expensive or impractical, or which was likely to have damaged the lot;
(b) The description of clocks and lighting devices, whether in the catalogue or a condition report, as such descriptions may be incomplete and not identify every mechanical replacement, repair, or defect. The absence of reference to the condition of a clock or lighting device does not imply it to be in working condition or without defects, repairs, restorations, or replacement parts. No warranty is made that any watch is in working condition or without defects, restorations, or working parts. Buyers are advised to check watch works prior to auction.
(c) The description of jewelry, whether in the catalogue or a condition report, is rendered as opinion and not a representation of fact, including, but not limited to, specialist opinion as to authenticity, the enhancement or treatment of gemstones, the weight of gemstones, the country of origin, the authorship or origin (manufacture) of an item, its period or the authenticity of its marks.
(d) The benefits of any warranty under this Agreement are only provided to and available for the original buyer of a lot from Rago/Wright, and not to any subsequent purchasers, transferees, successors, heirs, beneficiaries or assigns of the original buyer. We specifically disclaim any warranty for any person other than the original purchaser of the lot from Rago/Wright.
(e) Neither the seller nor Rago/Wright makes any warranty or representation, express or implied, as to whether you will acquire any reproduction rights, copyrights or other intellectual property rights in, or with respect to any lot.
Warranty Claims and Remedies (a) How To Make A Claim Under Any Warranty Under This Agreement. To make a claim under a warranty under this Agreement, you will do the following: (i) Submit written notice of your claim within sixty (60) days after you become aware of the existence of such a claim, and in any event no later than two (2) years following the Sale Date; and (ii) For a claim under the Authorship Warranty, submit, at your expense, written opinions of at least two (2) experts (whose principal line of business is the appraisal and authentication of art, antiquities, design objects or other valuable objects similar to the lot), that the lot fails to materially conform to the Authorship Warranty; and (iii) If we determine you are entitled to a remedy for a breach of warranty, then prior to receiving a refund of any amount of the Sale Fees paid by you to us, you must return the lot to us in the same condition as it was at the Sale Date.
(b) Remedies for warranties under this agreement. Your sole remedies for any violation of a warranty under this Agreement of any kind or nature are the following: (i) if we have not yet paid the seller the seller’s portion of the Sale Fees, then we will refund your payment of the lot’s Sale Fees to you; (ii) if we have paid the seller the seller’s portion of the Sale Fees, then we will either, at our sole option and election: (A) refund to you the lot’s Sale Fees; or (B) make written demand upon the seller for the refund of the portion of the Sale Fees you paid which we paid to the seller and we will refund to you the portion of the Sale Fees which you paid which we retained. If the seller fails to make the refund, we will furnish you with the name and address of the seller and assign all of our rights against the seller to you. You hereby agree that upon this assignment of our rights, we will have no further liability to you or responsibility to pursue your claim against the seller.
43. Limit of Liability
In no event shall rago/wright be liable to you or any third party for any consequential, exemplary, indirect, special, punitive, incidental or similar damages, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, regardless of the cause of action on which they are based, even if advised of the possibility of such damages occurring. With respect to any sale of a lot, in no event shall Rago/Wright be liable to you or any third party for losses in excess of the sale fees paid by you to Rago/Wright for such lot to which the claim relates. We are not liable for any breach or default by the consignor or seller of a lot or in relation to any terms which are implied into contracts by law and which are the responsibility of the seller of an item.
44. Indemnity; Limit of Liability; Liability
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Rago/Wright, its officers, directors, employees, agents and their successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) relating to the breach, or alleged breach, of any of your agreements, covenants, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement.

Rago/Wright and our licensors will retain ownership of our intellectual property rights, including, without limitation, copyright to all photographs or other images of the lot created by us (including in your Purchased Lots), as well as rights to the copyrights and trademarks and other images, logos, text, graphics, icons, audio clips, video clips, digital downloads in, and the ‘look and feel’ of, the Rago/Wright website and each Rago/Wright catalogue.

50. Governing Law
This Agreement and all rights and obligations relating to it will be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey and specifically excluding conflict of laws principles and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
51. Dispute Resolution
Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof (“Dispute”), will be resolved, to the extent possible, within forty-five (45) days through discussions held in good faith between appropriate representatives of the Parties. If the Dispute has not been resolved after the 45-day discussion period, either Party may
refer the Dispute or claim to American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation Procedures, for mediation in NEWARK, NEW JERSEY for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days. However, if the Dispute is not settled by mediation within the 120-day period, the Dispute will be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Claims will be heard by a single arbitrator, unless the claim amount exceeds $250,000, in which case the dispute will be heard by a panel of three arbitrators. The place of arbitration will be NEWARK, NEW JERSEY. The arbitration and any proceedings conducted hereunder will be governed by the laws of the State of NEW JERSEY, Title 9 (Arbitration) of the United States Code and by the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of June 10, 1958. Hearings will take place pursuant to the standard procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules that contemplate in person hearings, though hearings may be conducted virtually with the prior written consent of both parties. Time is of the essence for any arbitration under this Agreement and arbitration hearings will take place within 90 days of filing and awards rendered within 120 days. Arbitrator(s) will agree to these limits prior to accepting appointment. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses and an equal share of the arbitrators’ and administrative fees of arbitration. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. The parties agree that failure or refusal of a party to pay its required share of the deposits for arbitrator compensation or administrative charges will constitute a waiver by that party to present evidence or cross-examine witness. In such event, the other party will be required to present evidence and legal argument as the arbitrator(s) may require for the making of an award. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in the contract documents, the Parties hereby agree that the arbitrator’s decision will be final and nonappealable. The arbitrator’s decision may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
52. Enforcement Costs
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Rago/Wright brings an action to enforce this Agreement and/or to collect any sum due and owing to it, Rago/Wright will be entitled to recover (in addition to any other amounts it Is owed) its reasonable attorney’s fees, collection agency fees, and cost of proceedings from you, including without limitation its Enforcement Costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Rago/Wright may bring a Dispute for Enforcement Costs or in accordance with Section 32 (Security) or Section 34 (Confession of Judgment) in any court having jurisdiction over you.
53. Rules
No Waiver Any failure, delay, relaxation or indulgence by a Party in exercising any power or right conferred on that Party by this Agreement does not operate as a waiver of that power or right unless expressed in writing to be a waiver.
No Reliance In entering into this Agreement, the Parties have not relied on any representations or warranties about its subject matter except as provided in this Agreement.
