LITERATURE - SARCEY Francisque (1827 - 1899) - Autograph letter signed - French Literature
After brilliant studies at the Lycée Charlemagne, where he became friends with Edmond About, he entered the Ecole normale supérieure in 1848. He was in the same class as Taine, Assolant, About, etc. ~ A teacher in the provinces from 1851 to 1858, but in conflict with the administration, he asked for a year's leave in 1859, came to Paris and, thanks to About, joined various newspapers and magazines, in particular Le Figaro, where he wrote under the pseudonym of Suttières. He resigned his teaching post in 1860 and devoted himself to journalism. But he became famous for his theatre reviews, which made him the "oracle of the average audience" (according to the Larousse). His articles have been collected under the title Quarante Ans de théâtre (1900-1902): Autograph letter signed: ”... je ne puis malheureusement revenir sur un article déjà fait …". Included: 2 autograph letters signed.

AUCTION_INFORMATION_COLLECTION

We will propose a shipping option to all buyers.

 

Delivery and Storage

1. If the item is delivered within the UK, postage is subject to 20% VAT. However, all sales outside the UK are exempt from VAT.

All sales within the UK are subject to import VAT, payable at 5% of the hammer price. A 20% VAT will be added to the buyer’s premium. However, all items shipped outside the UK are exempt from VAT charges.

 

2. Where needed, the Auctioneers will provide complete customs declarations for the Hammer Price and the Purchaser's premium. The Purchaser is responsible for any customs charges imposed by the importing country.

 

3. A shipping proposal that includes insurance will be added to the invoices.

  

4. Items that remain uncollected may be relocated to storage, and their release will only be initiated upon settlement of the corresponding storage expenses. Should the accumulated storage charges reach a threshold of 50% of the initial Hammer Price paid, or if three months pass from the transfer date, the following actions may be taken at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to re-sell any or all the stored lots without prior notification and in the manner we choose. The proceeds obtained from such resale will then be allocated to offset the incurred storage costs. If there is a surplus amount after settling the costs, the Buyer can request the remaining balance. However, it's important to note that the Buyer will remain responsible for covering any shortfall that may arise. This policy ensures the efficient management of stored items and aids in recovering storage-related expenses while upholding transparency and fairness in our proceedings.
