Explanation of Cataloguing Practice
Pictures: A work catalogued with the name(s) or recognised designation of an artist, without any qualification, is, in our opinion, a work by the artist. In other cases, the following expressions, with the following meanings are used:
"Builder's/Prisoner-of-War-Style…" In our opinion a modern model which is built closely conforming to the typical types of examples found within the genre. "Restored…" In our opinion an original model which has been to a lesser or greater extent restored in some or all areas. The condition report may attempt to detail more precisely which areas these are. "Restored overall…" In our opinion a model or object which has been restored in every context, including fixings and mounts.
Model Scales Where possible indications are given of model scales, in some instances these are provided by individual modellers, or worked out from measurements. Measurements These are provided in order of Height x Width x Depth, unless otherwise stated. Where it is not possible to separate the model from the case, overall measurements are taken from the widest point of each surface. Condition Condition may be mentioned in italics within brackets at the end of a description; detailed condition reports may be had from CM Ltd. prior to sale and are for reference only. Clients should satisfy themselves in person wherever possible as to the condition of a lot, or ask an agent to inspect it for them. All statements provided by Charles Miller Ltd. are honestly given, however our staff are not trained conservators or restorers and accordingly any statement given will not be exhaustive. PROPERTY INCORPORATING MATERIALS FROM ENDANGERED SPECIES (CITES) An export licence issued by the Department of the Environment will be required for the export of any item made of or incorporating (irrespective of percentage) animal material such as ivory, whalebone, tortoiseshell, rhinoceros horn, rosewood and lignum vit etc., and this may take up to eight weeks to obtain. Clients are advised to check with the regulating body in the country of importation regarding any possible restrictions on the importation of items within this category – some countries have an absolute ban on the importation of certain materials. For example, the U.S. generally prohibits the importation of articles containing species that it has designated endangered or threatened if those articles are less than 100 years of age.
