1. Auction pre-bids

As from the date of publication of the online catalogue until 12:30 pm CET on Thursday 9 May 2024 it will be possible to:

- start placing bids on our website www.bertolamifineart.com, or on the partner portals as listed in point c of paragraph 1;

- book a phone bidding as described in point b of paragraph 1

- submit written absentee bids as described in point d of paragraph 1.

In the event of:

- One single auction pre-bid on a lot

In the absence of bids during the auction, the lot will be awarded at the starting bid even if the sole bid received is higher (the amount of the pre-auction bid indicates the maximum bid the bidder is willing to place.

Example: Starting bid € 1,000 – Single pre-sale bid € 1,500 – Award at € 1,000

- Multiple auction pre-bids of the same amount on the same lot

If no bids are raised during the auction, the lot will be awarded to the earlier bidder.

- Multiple auction pre-bids of different amounts on the same lot

If there are no bids during the auction, the lot will be awarded to the highest bidder. The hammer price is calculated by adding to the amount of the next lowest bid an increment set out in the table below.

Example: customer A bid € 1,270 - customer B bid € 1,800. Customer B does not win at the award price of € 1,800 but at € 1,370. In other words, the automatic increase of € 100 provided for in the table is applied to the amount of the next lowest bid when the bids are within the € 1,000-1,999 bracket.

1. Issuance of the certificate of Free Movement or of any other ministerial authorization required for the exportation of the awarded goods

The delivery of lots outside the Italian borders may be subject to the provisions set out in the Codice dei Beni Culturali (Dlgs. 42/2004 e ss.mm.ii.) concerning the export of goods of cultural interest. Therefore, in the event that the acquired property has characteristics such as requiring any form of ministerial authorization for its definitive exit from the territory of the Italian Republic, the timeframe required to issue such authorization will be regulated by the Office for the Export of Antiquities and Works of Art of the Ministry of Culture. The time average is estimated at 60-90 days from the day the procedure for the issuance of a Certificate of Free Movement is initiated (art. 68 of the Cultural Heritage and Landscape Code) and 30 days for a Self-Certification. Bertolami Fine Art declines any responsibility for any delay. The procedure will be initiated only upon payment of the goods and with the purchaser’s explicit authorization.
