TERMS OF SALE We advise all prospective bidders to read the Terms & Conditions of the Auction Sale before bidding in a Dixon's Crumpton Auction sale.

All property is sold "As Is, Where Is", and All Sales are Final. There are no bid reversals or refunds. 1a. We test all gemstones with a Presidium Gem Tester. Unfortunately, gem testers will not differentiate natural gemstones from their synthetic counterparts; this being the case we cannot guarantee natural stones unless we specifically state that it is natural in the listing. Many gemstones' properties overlap and could potentially be one of many variety of gemstones. We do our best, based on the tester readings, to determine whether or not the item is a specific gemstone; however we are not GIA certified gemologists. 1b.

Condition reports are offered as a courtesy but they are a matter of opinion and Dixon’s Crumpton Auction is not liable for any omissions or errors. 1c.

Note that this does not supersede the fact that all items are sold as-is. Artist’s name in title – if we list an artist’s name in the title without qualification, it is our opinion that the work of art was executed by that artist. Note that this does not supersede the fact that all items are sold as-is. “Style” – any item which is in the style of, but not created by or during the period of, the qualified term. “Style” could be used for a variety of items, for example a Chippendale-style dresser would be a dresser in the Chippendale style but created later, or a Picasso-style painting could be any painting created in the artist’s style at any time. “ozt” – troy ounces “ctw” – carats total weight 2.
