• DELIVERIES

Sales mandate
The sales mandate is the contract by which the owner of the property comprising one or more items gives the Auction House, CapitoliumArt, permission to sell those items according to the conditions contained therein. This contract is completed in duplicate upon consignment of the lots, the original remains at the auction house and the copy goes to the customer. Where items are consigned by courier the mandate must be completed in original and sent with the items. The customer copy will be sent to the customer later.

Commission
Commission payable to the auction house is 30% of hammer prices below €500 and 15% above €500.

Transport and insurance costs
Transport and insurance costs are paid by the customer. The cost of insurance is 1% calculated on the total of the reserve prices on the sales mandate for "nail to nail" cover. This is paid in advance by the auction house and deducted at the time of payment. In the case of lots not sold the insurance cost must be paid by the client before items are returned.

Resale right (Droit de suite)
For modern artworks subject to resale right, an additional percentage will be applied, calculated as follows: applicable work: original works of fine art such as paintings, "collages", drawings, engravings, prints, lithographs, sculptures, tapestries, ceramics, glass works, photographs and original manuscripts; copies of works of fine arts produced in limited numbers by the author or under authority fromthe author, provided they are numbered, signed or duly authorised by the author. Fees: the fee is calculated on the sale price, net of tax, on a percentage basis, which varies according to the different brackets, as follows: 4% for the portion of the sale price of between €3,000.00 and €50,000.00; 3% for the portion of the sale price of between €50,000.01 and €200,000.00; 1% for the portion of the sale price of between €200,000.01 and €350,000.00; 0.5% for the portion of the sale price of between €350.000,01 and €500,000.00; 0.25% for the portion of the sale price exceeding €500,000.00, subject to a maximum payment of €12,500.00.

• HOW TO BE PAID / COME RISCUOTERE

Payment methods
Items purchased can be paid for by cash (up to €1,000), bank transfer, cheque or bank draft.

• PALAZZO CIGOLA FENAROLI VALOTTI

Brescia, city of ancient palaces: a property yet to be discovered.
This is an extraordinary opportunity: Palazzo Cigola - Fenaroli, located between Via Carlo Cattaneo and Piazza Tebaldo Brusato. This is one of the most significant; the two facades clearly reveal different periods: sixteenth century on the Via Cattaneo side, with a portal off-centre and featuring two imposing atlases, and seventeenth century on the Piazza Tebaldo Brusato side. The two sections blend harmoniously, however, both in terms of size and continuity of the sixteenth century modules into the seventeenth century section. Entering from Via Carlo Cattaneo you come to an elegant portico and then a courtyard dating back to the beginning of the sixteenth century - perhaps even the late fifteenth century - three of the sides having four supremely elegant bays above high piers. A staircase leading to the gallery is accessed from the portico, this takes the form of a closed loggia, with wood-panelled ceiling, carved roses and cornices, all in the style of sixteenth century Brescia. The ceiling of the adjacent hall is a prominent and rare feature for Brescia, real wooden coffers, richly carved and with a variety of motifs: a very unusual style not found in other buildings in the city, reminiscent of Fausto Lechi and the participation of craftsmen and artists from outside. An airy dining room decorated with three landscape paintings, enclosed by pilaster strips, representing - with artistic licence - three holiday resorts of the Cigolas in the province of Brescia. Other rooms have coffered ceilings, finely carved with decorations and frescoes by famous artists, including Sante Cattaneo and Carlo Frigerio. This magnificent building, built as mentioned in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries by the Counts Cigola of Muslone, passed to the noble Fenarolis when the family died out. In the history of the noble family Cigola, tradition has it that Pierre du Terrail, the fearless and irreproachable knight of Baiardo, stayed and was cared for here after he was wounded in the sacking of 1512.
