Ivory regulation

House of Lords proposes amendments to ivory bill ahead of parliamentary debate
10 September 2018A group of members of the House of Lords have requested changes to the wording of the ivory bill ahead of a debate in the upper house, due to begin this afternoon.
ATG letter: We should support ivory petition, not dismiss it
10 September 2018MADAM – I read the letter from Gavin Littaur (ATG No 2355, August 25) and the letter of the previous edition from Nick Silver (ATG no 2354, August 18) with more than a little puzzlement.

Ivory regulation will be balanced, says Ellis
10 September 2018The UK government will ensure that ivory regulations are balanced and with “appropriate exemptions”, the new minister for arts, heritage and tourism told the Art Business Conference last week.

ATG letter: Chippendale ivory removal is ‘unforgivable’ – furniture dealer Martin Levy
03 September 2018MADAM – Your news story (‘Ivory removed from Chippendale before sale’, ATG No 2356) draws attention to the deliberate and unforgivable removal of original ivory elements from an important commode by Thomas Chippendale, England’s most famous cabinet maker.

ATG’s Chippendale news story: media reaction
03 September 2018Our story last week revealed that ivory elements of an important piece of Chippendale furniture, the Rowland Winn commode made c.1766, were removed for its appearance at a Christie’s auction earlier this year, the commode having been imported from the US.

Ivory removed from Chippendale commode before Christie's sale
27 August 2018Ivory elements of an important piece of Chippendale furniture were removed prior to its appearance at auction earlier this year, ATG has learned.

27 August 2018MADAM – ATG letter correspondents Peter Cameron and Gavin Littaur (ATG Nos 2353, 2355) have hit the nail on the head in many ways.
Michael Baggott: record the ivory ban
20 August 2018Silver dealer Michael Baggott is appealing to the trade to help in the documentation of antique ivory objects after the proposed legislation becomes law.
ATG letter: We must record the ivory items at risk
20 August 2018MADAM – A friend in the trade asked me over a year ago, ‘what will you do if antiques containing ivory are made illegal?’. Since then I’ve given it serious thought. What can any of us do?
ATG letter: Ivory solution is simple one
20 August 2018MADAM – Peter Cameron writes in ATG No 2353 that only 691 people have signed the ivory petition [now at 1688 as we go to press], that a response from the government requires 10,000 signatures, and that 100,000 are needed to raise a parliamentary debate.

BADA dealers publish open letter in Antiques Trade Gazette to urge sign-ups to ivory ban petition
13 August 2018Dealers Alastair Gibson and Laura Bordignon have taken an advertisement in this week’s Antiques Trade Gazette calling on the trade to petition the government to widen the ‘de minimus’ exemption for antique ivory objects in a forthcoming law that will restrict their trade.

ATG letter: On ivory we need a little high-level diplomacy
13 August 2018MADAM – Six hundred and ninety-one people is actually a fairly decent response from a trade in which there are only a handful of interested parties (Letters, ATG No 2353).
ATG letter: Ivory – call for more petitioners
06 August 2018MADAM – My congratulations to Anthony Bernbaum and to Lewis Baer for their excellent letters: Mr Bernbaum’s account of why he left Online Galleries and Mr Baer advocating the creation of a global trade body for the art and antiques sector (ATG No 2352).
ATG letter: Handy tip on ivory petition
23 July 2018MADAM – ATG readers may know about the online petition created by dealer Alastair Gibson to raise the ivory ‘de minimis’ in the government’s ivory ban (Freya Simms, chief executive of LAPADA, writes). We have just written to our members, in case they wish to support this, to pass on a tip about filling in the online form. I am passing on this information to ATG readers also.

Ivory: Lords speak out against ‘kafkaesque’ registration rules
23 July 2018The so-called de minimis rule – the requirement to register items containing less than 10% of ivory prior to sale – has been criticised in the House of Lords as the ivory bill continues its progress through parliament.

Ivory bill's "kafkaesque process of registration" criticised in House of Lords
18 July 2018Members of the House of Lords have called for amendments to the bill to ban the trade in objects made of or containing ivory.

On the battle for antique ivory: an appeal from BADA’s chairman
02 July 2018BADA and other trade bodies have raised half the money needed for a judicial review of the ivory ban. Here, BADA’s chairman Michael Cohen argues the battle is not lost and why dealers should continue to support, financially and otherwise, the trade bodies’ efforts.
