François Lepage (1796-1871): Still life of flowers, oil on canvas, Lyon, dated 1824

Sales commission is 30%, all taxes included. This means that the final price to be paid will be the hammer price plus 30% of the hammer price.
However, invoices paid by bank transfer, European debit card or cash (up to €2.999), within 14 days after the auction (payments reaching us by the 15th calendar day after the last auction day), will be subject to the premium rate of 27.5%.

External partners allowing their clients to bid with us, may charge a fee for this, which will then be added to our sales commission. These fees vary per partner and are subject to change at the partner’s discretion. We have no influence on this and payments not including this fee will be seen as incomplete.

Cash (under €3.000)


Bank transfer of the full amount, indicating the invoice number in the commentary section. Any and all fees should be handled by the sender, on this bank account:

Credit and debit card payments, as well as Unionpay payments, can be accepted with the cardholder present in our rooms.
Most credit and debit cards can also be accepted online.

We can also arrange shipping for some purchases. We can give you a non-binding pre-sale estimate on simple request. The exact cost for this service will be specified after reception of your full payment, or added to your invoice upon request. The order of packing/shipping is the same as the payment reception order. We work with several different companies for this: Belgian Post Office, Post.NL (TNT), DHL, UPS and Fedex. When choosing for Fedex, UPS or DHL, we will only charge for packing. Clients are responsible for arranging and paying for pick-up and shipping costs directly to the courrier service. Please note that shipping is a service offered, but all risks associated with shipping are carried by the client. We can not be held responsible for any issues arriving during the shipping process. Shipping insurance does not always cover all risks associated, neither does it always cover the entire amount paid.

Both foreign and national buyers who can’t be present during the auction, can bid by telephone or bid live online on our website or through one of our third party partners. As we can not guarantee the proper functioning of available communication channels, we strongly suggest to also send in a back-up absentee bid, or book a telephone line and arrange for online bidding simultaneously.
Foreign buyers will need to identify themselves in full at least 24 hours before the auction. If necessary, a bank guarantee or deposit will be requested which will serve as a guarantee in case of non-payment. Failure to provide requested bank guarantees or deposits may result in the non-acceptance of any bids.
The auctioneer can not be held responsible in case of disfunctioning of the available communication channels and any consequences related to this, nor from unavailability on the bidders’ side.

Professionals are required to identify themselves as such and disclose their business details when bidding or requesting a bid number.

In case of non-payment the lots may be put up for sale in a later sale. The non-paying bidder will be obliged to reimburse the difference in case of a lower hammer price, according to Belgian law. He will not have any claims over the possible difference above the original hammer price. He will also need to cover all costs related to the re-offering.

Every buyer is supposed to know and comply with the import regulations of his or her country of destination. The auction house can not be held responsable for any problems arising with the export of certain goods, be they legal or illegal in any country.

Every buyer and seller is supposed to know the current regulations regarding the sale or exposition of animals or wildlife species, such as, but not limited to, ivory, minerals, gems, rhino horn, bone, taxidermy, ... but also for works of art partially consisting of such material. The auction house denies any responsability in regard to possible seizure, destruction or penalties imposed by Belgian or foreign governments. The full 100% responsability for any issue arising lies with the consignor-seller and/or bidder-buyer.

By taking part in our sales any person agrees to these condition, be it directly through us or through one of our partners which allow bidders to bid with us.

Every participant to our sales is supposed to be aware of and comply with these conditions.

Any arising dispute shall only be governed by the Belgian law and only the justice court in Ghent, Belgium, can deal with these disputes.
