On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in lots consigned for sale which may include guaranteeing a minimum price or making an advance to the consignor that is secured solely by consigned property. This is such a lot. This indicates both in cases where Christie's holds the financial interest on its own, and in cases where Christie's has financed all or a part of such interest through a third party. Such third parties generally benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful. VAT rate of 5% is payable on hammer price and at 15% on the buyer's premium

Specialist note

A version of this buckle was shown at the Centennial Exhibition in Paris in 1900, in which the lion was carved from emerald. It was carved by H.A Burdy, a well known engraver who won a prize at the Prix de Rome in 1863. The buckle was designed by Lucien Hirtz and made by Epinasse and Varanoz.
