Catalog Practice


        <h1>Catalog Practice</h1>
          <h2>Descriptions</h2>
<p>T2 operates as a wholesale marketplace and makes no guarantee on the age or attribution of any of our instruments and bows. By keeping the descriptions neutral and open, buyers are able to interpret the facts and make an informed decision in the purchase of our lots. We are happy to provide additional pictures or measurements on request in order to help bidders form their own opinions. Please visit our <a href="https://t2-auctions.com/terms-of-use/">Terms of Use</a> for full details about T2&#8217;s descriptions.</p>
<h2>Dates</h2>
<p>Some lots include dates which indicate the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><i>c. 1920</i> &#8211; the item is likely to have been made within approximately 10 to 20 years of the date indicated</li>
<li><i>Early 20th century</i> &#8211; the item is likely to have been made in the timespan of the century indicated</li>
<li><i>Contemporary</i> &#8211; the item is likely to have been made recently by a living maker or is believed to be less than 30 years old</li>
</ul>
<h2>Estimate Prices</h2>
<p>The estimates published in T2 catalogs are intended to reflect past auction prices and current market trends.</p>
<p>As a courtesy to bidders, currency conversions are provided in the online catalog. These estimates are for approximation purposes only, however, and all bids, consignor reserves, invoicing, and payments will be conducted in US Dollars.</p>
<h2>Condition Reports</h2>
<p>Prospective buyers are encouraged to thoroughly inspect lots in which they are interested at T2’s pre-sale viewings. T2 provides written condition reports for all instruments and bows via email, but not verbally or otherwise. T2 condition reports are prepared as accurately and comprehensively as possible; however, in no way do they express or imply warranties of any kind on the part of T2 or its specialists.</p>
<h2>Certificates, Letters and other Documents</h2>
<p>If a lot is to be sold with certificates of authenticity, letters, or other documents, this is noted in the catalog description before the estimate amounts. The dates of old certificates and papers are noted in the catalog; those of contemporary certificates are not.</p>
