If requested we may be able to help you with shipping at a very competitive price. This shipping will be at Bidders own request & therefore fully at own risk.

All items that we agree to ship will be packed to the best of our ability, however as mentioned, any loss or damage will be fully the responsibility of the Bidder & no responsibility will lay with Clarks Auction Rooms, its Vendor or the chosen Courier. Please allow upto seven working days for dispatch of said items. These Terms are fully non-negotiable without exception.

Please note some items we cannot ship so please request shipping quote prior bidding. 

In the very unlikely event of a return being accepted, the Bidder pays for the return shipping. The original shipping will not be refunded.

If you want your parcel fully insured then we recommend Mail Boxes Etc. of Plymouth who offer a professional packing & shipping service to suit bespoke requirements.

DACS: Artist's resale rights.

The Artist's Resale Right means that you could be entitled to a royalty when your work is resold for €1,000 or more, with the involvement of an auction house, gallery or dealer.

As of 1 January 2012, the Right was extended in the UK to cover sales of work by deceased artists still in copyright, which means that your heirs will also be eligible for royalties.
