A Tribute to Italian Modernism is a landmark sale that spans more than a century of design. This collection brings together rare 19th-century antiques, the refined geometry of Art Deco, and the bold experimentation of mid-century modern and postwar Italian design. It is both a homage to history and a celebration of the designers who forever changed the way we live with art and furniture. Highlights include works by Afra & Tobia Scarpa, Marco Zanuso, Osvaldo Borsani, Gio Ponti, Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Mangiarotti, and Carlo De Carli, whose visionary pieces embody the heart of Italian modernism.

2. Condition of Items (“As Is”). All items are sold strictly “as is,” with no guarantees or warranties, whether express or implied. Visuals (catalog photos, descriptions, etc.) are for identification only and may not accurately depict condition or appearance. Buyers are responsible for inspecting all lots in detail, including provenance, condition, authenticity, origin, and value.

3. Winning Bid, Buyer’s Premium & Title Transfer. The highest bid accepted by the auctioneer becomes the Buyer’s obligation. The Buyer must pay the hammer price plus a buyer’s premium as specified in the auction materials, plus applicable sales tax. Title transfers only after full payment clears.

Items unclaimed after ten (10) days are subject to storage fees: $25 per lot per day. If items remain uncollected for 21 days, they are considered abandoned and may be resold under Circa’s standard terms. Buyers are responsible for any shortfall between the original price and resale proceeds, plus associated fees and any legal or collection costs.

5. Abandonment Liability. By bidding, the Buyer waives claims against Circa regarding abandoned property (e.g., refund demands or damage claims). Circa does not insure items after the designated pick-up period; any loss or damage is the Buyer’s responsibility.
