PRESS COMMUNIQUÉ DE LA MAISON COUTAU-BÉGARIE & ASSOCIÉS

We specify that this collection belongs to a private individual and does not come in any way from a Tunisian museum, institution or public establishment, as has been said by mistake on numerous occasions in the press and media. This information was moreover confirmed by the National Institute of Tunisian Heritage in a press release on June 2, 2020: " the exhibits do not belong to any museum or national repository of works ". He further emphasizes that it is a " private collection, most of which belonged to Ahmed Jallouli who died in 2011 ".

Moreover, this sale was being organized since November 2019 and the lots were deposited with the study in early 2020. Therefore, there could not be any possible exchange during the confinement set up in France and Tunisia, as it was affirmed by some Tunisian officials without any prior proof.

prospective buyers and are not to be relied upon in terms of colour

Many lots are of an age or nature which precludes their being in mint

damage or restoration. Such information is given for guidance only

from defects not either does any reference to particular defects
imply the absence of others.
It is the responsibility of prospective bidders to inspect the property
before bidding to determine its condition, size and to determine if
it has been repaired or restored and to request a condition report.
Buyers must satisfy themselves to all matters referred above by
inspection or otherwise prior to the date of the auction. They should
carefully inspect items about the condition of each lot, as this is not
necessarily stated in the catalogue.
A buyer’s premium will be added to the successful bid price and is
payable by the purchaser based on a percentage of the hammer

premium 24% + TVA 20%) on top of the hammer price.

at his absolute discretion and regardless of the fall of the hammer
