HUNTSMAN: Curated by Pierre Lagrange

June 1, 2018, 3:00 PM BST | London, United Kingdom    Timed Auction

Lot 7: HUNTSMAN PORTABLE LIBRARY | Everyman's Library

HUNTSMAN PORTABLE LIBRARY | Everyman's Library
Estimate: £1,000 - £1,500
    Description: Discarded beauties from the past can be put to good use today with a bit of imagination. Take, for example, beautiful leather suitcases, casualties of the era of luggage on wheels, that can be given new life when transformed into mobile libraries. The perfect accessory for a guest bedroom, study, or to take on a trip.

    Huntsman asked Everyman's Library, founded in 1906 by visionary publisher Joseph Dent, to fill the case with eleven essential literary works carefully curated for the modern gentleman. 

    This lot includes the following works:

    - Collected Stories by Raymond Chandler
    - The Complete Short Novels by Anton Checkhov
    - Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
    - Flashman, Flash for Freedom! and Flashman in the Great Game by George MacDonald Fraser
    - Collected Stories by Ernest Hemingway
    - The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa
    - Childhood, Boyhood and Youth by Leo Tolstoy
    - A Sportsman's Notebook by Ivan Turgenev
    - Fishing Stories by Henry Hughes
    - Dog Stories edited by Diana Secker Tesdell
    - Galahad at Blandings by P.G. Wodehouse
  • Dimensions: 30 cm by 36 cm by 18 cm
  • Condition: Books in new condition. Case has some scratches, scuffs and wear commensurate with age.
    The lot is sold in the condition it is in at the time of sale. The condition report is provided to assist you with assessing the condition of the lot and is for guidance only. Any reference to condition in the condition report for the lot does not amount to a full description of condition. The images of the lot form part of the condition report for the lot provided by Sotheby's. Certain images of the lot provided online may not accurately reflect the actual condition of the lot. In particular, the online images may represent colours and shades which are different to the lot's actual colour and shades. The condition report for the lot may make reference to particular imperfections of the lot but you should note that the lot may have other faults not expressly referred to in the condition report for the lot or shown in the online images of the lot. The condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alteration or adaptation because Sotheby's is not a professional conservator or restorer but rather the condition report is a statement of opinion genuinely held by Sotheby's. For that reason, Sotheby's condition report is not an alternative to taking your own professional advice regarding the condition of the lot.

Shipping

To assist you in understanding the potential cost of shipping to your address, we have provided a simple shipping cost calculator, which can be accessed by clicking on the link: AUCTION SHIPPING CALCULATOR on the top of the main sale page and on the right side of the lot pages. To use the calculator you will need three pieces of information: the Lot Number; the country to which the item will be shipped; and your anticipated bid (the hammer price).

Please note that, should you wish to arrange your own shipping or to arrange collection of your purchases yourself, all lots are located at our Greenford Park warehouse, the details of which are below. Please check with our Post Sales Services team (contact information is on the shipping calculator page) for the Lot location before collecting. Please note that property can only be released once payment has been received and cleared. If you are using your own shipper to collect property from Sotheby's, please provide a letter of authorisation, a copy of your paid invoice and photographic ID or a completed release of liability form (provided by Sotheby's).

Unfortunately, lots will not be available for collection at New Bond Street, unless otherwise stated on your invoice. Please see the Conditions of Sale for our Online-Only sales for further details.

For the shipping cost calculator, Sotheby's has partnered with Connoisseur International Fine Art, a Fine Art Shipper, to ensure that your purchases are packed professionally and then shipped to you safely, securely and insured, via the global Federal Express network or via Interlink for UK shipments. We have worked with these companies for a number of years to provide the shipping service for our traditional auctions, and they deliver an excellent level of service at a very reasonable price. The final hammer price influences the exact cost of shipping, as the cost of insurance and packing are directly related to the value of the shipment. All purchases from this sale are shipped using a priority service as a requirement of the insurance cover provided; packing charges for purchases of £3800 or below (including any applicable VAT, Sales Tax and possible artist resale rights levy) are at a reduced rate. Consequently you may use the calculator to establish in advance of bidding the likely range of shipping prices that you would incur if you are the successful bidder for a particular lot - for example you may wish to input your maximum bid in order to understand the maximum shipping price for the item, but you may also wish to input the bid at which you hope to secure the lot, particularly if it is £3800 or below.

Soon after the closure of the sale, you will receive your invoice along with a firm quote for the insured shipping service to the address you provided at registration; this paperwork will show the costs of shipping and insurance itemised separately, and will include details of the key insurance terms. You will need to sign the quote and return it together with your payment to Sotheby's Post Sale Services, following which your items will be despatched.

We are unable to offer shipping via this method to every destination. If your destination country is not listed in the drop-down menu on our shipping calculator, please contact Sotheby's (contact information is on the shipping calculator page) and provide details of the lot number, the address to which you wish to ship together with your maximum bid. In most cases, we will be able to offer a shipping solution and we will provide you with a pre-sale quote based on the actual shipment value; any difference in the final sale price will affect the final shipping price that will be charged. As we will need to liaise with one or more shipping vendors, depending on the destination, requests for such pre-sale quotes need to be submitted no later than 72 hours prior to the scheduled sale-end. Finally, some items cannot be shipped to certain destinations at all (for example items of Iranian origin to the GCC States) and, whilst the shipping calculator may provide a price for the shipment, the notes field will populate with an explanation of the restriction that applies. The inability to ship to a destination so excluded will not justify the cancellation of a sale, and you should refer to the full terms and conditions for buyers (online sales).

Further information regarding collection of purchases from Sotheby's, and the storage charges that will accrue for any purchased items not cleared within 30 days of sale closure, can be found on your invoice or in the Conditions of Sale for Online-Only Sales.
