IMPORTANT NOTES
ALL LOTS ARE SOLD SUBJECT TO OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED ON PAGE 6
BUYERS’ COMMISSION
20% (24.6% including VAT) is added to the hammer price of all lots. A
further 3% is charged to on-line bidders. VAT applies to these charges
but not to the hammer price.
ROOM BIDDERS
1. Room bidders must register and obtain a bidding number on
arrival. Proof of identity is required from clients new to us.
2. If successful in obtaining a lot please ensure you display your
number clearly to the auctioneer and that it is your number that
is called out. If there is any doubt about the hammer price or
buyer, please draw this to the attention of the auctioneer
immediately.
3. Payment may be made by cash, bank draft, cleared cheque, debit
or credit card — we accept Mastercard or Visa (a charge of 2% is
made on credit card transactions). There is no charge on debit
card transactions.
LIVE INTERNET BIDDING
You can bid “live” at this auction on our website. With live audio and
visual broadcast you can see and hear the auctioneer and bid at the
click of a mouse from the comfort of your home or office or wherever
you can log on to the world wide web. You can even get an iPhone
app to bid live at Whyte’s from your mobile phone. Details from our
website, www.whytes.ie The provider of our live bidding platform
charges a fee of 3% (+ VAT) of hammer price to purchasers.
ABSENTEE BIDDING
1. If you are unable to attend you may bid before the sale, using the
form provided. Enter the maximum you are prepared to offer for
each lot and the auctioneer will represent you as if you are
personally attending the sale. Lots are knocked down at one step
above the next highest bid, and not necessarily at your highest
bid. Example: your bid is €1000 and next highest bid is €800 —
the hammer price is €850.
2. LIMIT BIDDING: Absentee bidders may limit their total purchases
to a set amount by entering their limit on the bidding form. This
is especially useful for bidders wishing to cover as many lots as
possible while setting a maximum amount to spend.
3. “OR” BIDDING: Absentee bidders who wish to bid on two or more
lots, but only wish to purchase one, may do so by entering “OR”
between the bids — the lots will be bid on in catalogue order.
4. EQUAL BIDS: In the event of equal bids being received for
the same lot the first received will be given preference. If the
instruction “break ties” is entered on the bid form the auctioneer
will increase the bid by one step in the event of equal bids being
received or in the event of a tie with a room bidder.
5. “BUY” BIDS: Unless otherwise instructed bids of “Buy” or “Buy at
Best” shall be taken to indicate bids of up to three times the
stated higher estimate in the catalogue.
6. INVOICING AND PAYMENT: Successful absentee bidders will be
sent a pro forma invoice after the sale with details of payment
methods. All invoices must be paid within 7 days of the date of
the sale or the lot(s) may be deemed in default and any
subsequent losses incurred on resale become the responsibility of
the bidder. The Auctioneers and House Agents Act, under which
we are licensed to hold public auctions, only allows for lots to be
handed over to purchasers when paid for
in full.
TELEPHONE BIDDING
Subject to availability we can telephone clients during the sale.
This facility is only available on lots with a lower estimate of €500 or
more.
CONDITION OF LOTS
Note: The lots in this sale are old artefacts and documents and
vary greatly in condition. They are therefore offered with all faults
and buyers are strongly recommended to satisfy themselves as to
condition by inspecting them beforehand. Please see Terms and
Conditions on page 2.
SHIPPING / POSTAGE
We do not handle this ourselves but will recommend a suitable
company who can collect your purchases on your behalf and pack and
despatch them to you once they have been paid for.
PRICES REALISED
A complete list of prices realised and unsold lots will be sent
automatically to all absentee bidders and will be posted to our
Internet website (www.whytes.ie) on the day after the sale.
FIREARMS
Most firearms offered in this sale are either antiques or
deactivated. Those that are not can only be delivered to persons
with a valid firearms licence.
EXPORT LICENCES
May be required for objects of archaeological interest or of
national importance sold to buyers outside the State.
IVORY
Certain countries, including the USA, ban the importation of
ivory including antique worked items. Such lots may be seized and
confiscated by the relevant authorities.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE NOTICE
Whyte & Sons Auctioneers Limited, trading as Whyte’s, exercises all reasonable
care to ensure that all descriptions are reliable and accurate, and that each item
is genuine unless the contrary is indicated. However, the descriptions are not
intended to be, are not and are not to be taken to be, statements of fact or
representations of fact in relation to the lot. They are statements of the opinion
of Whyte’s, and attention is particularly drawn to clause 5 set out below.
Comments and opinions, which may be found in or on lots as labels, notes, lists,
catalogue prices, or any other means of expression, do not constitute part of lot
descriptions and are not to be taken as such unless they are made or specifically
verified by Whyte’s.
Clause 1
(a) Each lot is put up subject to any reserve price imposed by the vendor
(b) Subject to sub-clause (a) of this clause, the highest bidder for each lot shall
be the buyer thereof
(c) If any dispute arises as to the highest bidder the auctioneer shall have
absolute discretion to determine the dispute and may put up again and re-sell
the lot in respect of which the dispute arises
Clause 2
(a) The bidding and advances shall be regulated by and at the absolute discretion
of the auctioneer and he shall have the right to refuse any bid or bids. NOTE:
Where an agent bids, even on behalf of a disclosed client, the auctioneer
nevertheless has the right at his discretion to refuse any such bid.
(b) The buyer of each lot shall immediately on its sale, if required by the
auctioneer, give him the name and address of the buyer and pay to Whyte’s at
his discretion the whole or part of the purchase money. If the buyer of any lot
fails to comply with any such requirement Whyte’s may put up again and re-sell
the lot; if upon such re-sale a lower price is obtained than was obtained on the
first sale the buyer in default on the first sale shall make good the difference in
price and expenses of re-sale which shall become a debt due from him.
(c) Where an agent purchases on behalf of an undisclosed client such agent shall
be personally liable for payment of the purchase money to Whyte’s and for safe
delivery of the lot to the said client.
Clause 3
(a) Whyte’s reserves the rights to bid on behalf of clients including vendors, but
shall not be liable for errors or omissions in executing instructions to bid.
(b) Whyte’s reserves the rights, before or during a sale, to group together lots
belonging to the same vendor, to split up and to withdraw any lot or lots at
Whyte’s absolute discretion and without giving any reason in any case.
(c) Whyte’s acts as agent only, and therefore shall not be liable for any default of
the buyer or vendor.
Clause 4
(a) Each lot shall be at the buyer’s risk from the fall of the hammer and shall be
paid for in full before delivery and taken away at his expense within one day of
the sale. The buyer will be responsible for all removal, storage and insurance
charges in respect of any lot which has not been collected within one day of the
date of sale.
(b) If any buyer fails to pay in full for any lot within 7 days of the date of sale
such lot may at any time thereafter at Whyte’s discretion be put up for sale by
auction again or sold privately; if upon such re-sale a lower price is obtained
than was obtained on the first sale the buyer in default on the first sale shall
make good the difference in price and the expenses of re-sale which shall
become debt due from him.
(c) Interest at 2 per cent per month and legal costs (if any) for recovery of
monies due shall be payable by the buyer on any overdue account.
Clause 5
(a) All lots are made available for inspection before each sale and each buyer, by
making a bid, acknowledges that he has satisfied himself as to the physical
condition, age and catalogue description of each lot (including but not restricted
to whether the lot is damaged or has been repaired or restored).
(b) All lots are sold with all faults and imperfections and errors of description and
Whyte’s and its employees, servants or agents shall not be responsible for any
error of description or for the condition or authenticity of any lot, save for
Clause 5 (c) below.
Written or verbal condition reports may be supplied by Whyte’s on request but
these are merely statements of opinion, and any error or omission in these
reports may not be taken as grounds for a cancellation of sale or refund of any
part of the purchase price or the cost of any repairs to the lot or lots reported on
(c) If any lot sold at this auction is subsequently proved to be a “deliberate
forgery”, Whyte’s will cancel the sale and refund to the buyer the total amount
paid by the buyer for the item, in the currency of the original sale. The onus of
proving a lot to be a “deliberate forgery” is on the buyer. For these purposes,
“deliberate forgery” means a lot that in Whyte’s reasonable opinion is an
imitation created to deceive as to authorship, where the correct description of
such authorship is not reflected by the description in the catalogue (taking into
account any Glossary of Terms). No lot shall be considered a deliberate forgery by
reason only of any damage and/or restoration and/or modification work of any
kind (including repainting or overpainting). This guarantee does not apply if (i)
either the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally accepted
opinions of scholars and experts at the date of the sale, or the catalogue
description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; (ii) or the only
method of establishing at the date of the sale that the item was a counterfeit
would have been by means of processes not then generally available or accepted,
unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely to have caused damage to
the lot or likely (in Whyte’s reasonable opinion) to have caused loss of value to
the lot; or (iii) there has been no material loss in value of the lot from its value
had it been in accordance with its description. This guarantee is provided for a
period of seven (7) years after the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the
benefit of the buyer and may not be transferred to any third party. Whyte’s has
discretion to extend the guarantee for a longer period. To be able to claim under
this Guarantee, the buyer must (i) notify Whyte’s in writing within three (3)
weeks of receiving any information that causes the buyer to question the
authenticity or attribution of the item, specifying the lot number, date of the
auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is thought to be a
deliberate forgery; and (ii) return the item to Whyte’s in the same condition as
the date of the sale to the buyer and be able to transfer good title in the item,
free from the third party claims arising after the date of the sale. Whyte’s has
discretion to waive any of the above requirements. Whyte’s may require the
buyer to obtain at the buyer’s cost the reports of two independent and
recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Whyte’s and the buyer.
Whyte’s shall not be bound by any reports produced by the buyer, and reserves
the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event
Whyte’s decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund the buyer
the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports.
(d) Any lot listed as a “mixed lot, collection, range, portfolio etc.” or stated to
comprise or contain a collection or range of items which are not described shall
be put up for sale not subject to rejection and shall be taken by the buyer with
all (if any) faults, lack of genuineness and errors of description and numbers of
items in the lot, and the buyer shall have no right to reject the lot; except that,
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this sub-clause, where before a sale
a person intending to bid at the sale gives notice in writing to, and satisfies
Whyte’s that any such lot contains any item or items not described in the sale
catalogue and that person specifically describes that item or those items in that
notice, then that item or those items shall, as between Whyte’s and that person,
to be taken to form part of the description of the lot.
Clause 6
The respective rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed and
interpreted by Irish law, and the buyer hereby submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Irish Courts.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
(a) The buyer shall pay Whyte’s a commission at the rate of 20% (excluding VAT
under The Margin Scheme and which is not reclaimable). On-line buyers shall pay
a further fee of 3% (excluding VAT).
(b) Whyte’s or its employees, servants or agents may, on request organise packing
and shipping of lots purchased or may order on the buyer’s behalf third parties
to pack or ship purchases. Under no circumstances does Whyte’s accept any
liability whatsoever for any loss or damage howsoever occasioned in the course
of such service.
(c) The buyer authorises Whyte’s to use any photographs or illustrations of any
lot purchased for any or all purposes as Whyte’s may require.
The placing of a bid will be taken as full agreement to all the above conditions..
PAYMENT
Payment of invoices may be made by bank transfer, cleared cheque, debit card,
cash (maximum €500) or credit card (maximum €500). Full details of payment
methods and our bank accounts will be given to purchasers. Further information

8 by 10.50in. (20.3 by 26.7cm)
The Brian Boru’s harp (also known as‘Trinity College harp) is a medieval musical instrument on display
in the long room at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland. It is a wire strung cláirseach. It is dated to the 14th
or 15th century and, along with the Queen Mary Harp and the Lamont Harp, is one of the three oldest
surviving Gaelic harps. The harp was used as a model for the coat of arms of Ireland. It may be the oldest
existing harp in the world.
One of very few surviving objects known to have been the personal property of an Irish king, the
Kavanagh Charter Horn is an early 12th century ivory ceremonial drinking horn. The brass mountings
were added in the 15th century. It is the only known piece of Irish regalia to survive Medieval Ireland. The
Kavanagh family retained possession of the horn until they donated it to the National Museum of Ireland.

Michael Noyk (1884-1966) was a solicitor and Irish

Raivid. The family emigrated when Michael was
one year old. He was educated at the High School
and entered Trinity College Dublin as a sizar in
Hebrew before winning a classics scholarship and
graduating in 1907. Shortly afterwards he worked
as a solicitor. Noyk befriended Arthur Griffith and
through him, he became highly sympathetic to
the cause of Irish republicanism. He was Griffith’s
personal solicitor until his death. He joined Sinn Féin

General Sir John Maxwell, Black Watch (Royal Highlanders), General officer’s uniform headgear.
A Black Watch General officer’s feather bonnet of dyed Ostrich feathers, with four tails, a velvet edged
diced band of regimental pattern bearing black silk rosette with gilt sphinx resting on a tablet inscribed
“Egypt”. To the rear of the bonnet two silk tails, with black patent leather chin strap and scarlet cut feather
hackle, in japanned storage tin with brass plaque engraved,‘General Sir J. Maxwell’; a General officer’s
full-dress cocked hat with feather plume, in japanned case; and a court bicorn hat with cut steel cockade,
in japanned case. (3)
General Sir John Grenfell Maxwell GCB, KCMG, CVO, DSO, PC (11 July 1859 – 21 February 1929) was a
British Army officer and colonial governor. He served in the Mahdist War in the Sudan, the Boer War, and
in the First World War, but he is best known for his role in the brutal suppression of the 1916 Easter Rising
and subsequent execution of rebellion leaders.
After the Rising started, on 24 April 1916, Martial Law was declared for the city and county of Dublin by
the Lord Lieutenant, Lord Wimborne, to allow Court Martial trials of persons breaching the Defence of
the Realm Act (DORA), passed 8 August 1914 and to deal with such occurrences as the Rising.
Maxwell arrived in Ireland on Friday 28 April as“military governor”with“plenary powers”under Martial
law. He set about dealing with the rebellion under his understanding of Martial law. During the week 2
to 9 May, Maxwell was in sole charge of trials and sentences by“field general court martial”, which was
trial without defence or jury and in camera. He had 3,400 people arrested, 183 civilians tried, 90 of whom
were sentenced to death. Fifteen were executed by firing squad between 3 May and 12 May.
Prime Minister H.H. Asquith and his government became concerned at the speed and secrecy of events
before intervening to stop more executions. In particular, there was concern that DORA regulations
of general court martial were not applied, i.e. a full court of thirteen members, a professional judge,
legal advocate and held in public, which could have prevented some executions. Maxwell admitted in
a report to Asquith in June that the impression that the leaders were killed in cold blood without trial
had resulted in a‘revulsion of feeling‘ that had set in, in favour of the rebels, and was the result of the
confusion between applying DORA as opposed to Martial law. Although Asquith promised to publish the
court martial proceedings, they were not published until the 1990s.
Maxwell retired in 1922 and died, aged 69, in 1929.
Estimate €2,000-€3,000 approx (£1,750-£2,620 approx.)
