The ivory needs to be integral to said item, and the volume of ivory must be less than 10% of the total volume of the material of which the item is made. Pre-1975 musical instruments where the volume of ivory in the instrument is less than 20% of the total volume of the material of which the instrument is made. This will not include anything that, although capable of being played as a musical instrument, was not made primarily for that purpose. It does include bows, plectrums or other things made for the purpose of playing a musical instrument. Items being sold and purchased by qualifying museums. ‘Qualifying museums’ are defined by various factors, depending on where in the UK the museum is. If the museum is outside the UK, it is required to be a member of the International Council of Museums to be ‘qualifying’. All these items will be required to be registered with Animal Health & Plant Agency before being sold. Registrations cost £20 and can be applied for now here. Upon registering the item you will receive an immediate registration number which must be listed on all online and in all printed catalogues, and advertisements, alongside the item. Silver Italian School tureen and cover, circa 1910, with ivory mounts, sold by Lyon & Turnbull for £938 (including premium) in April 2021. In order to meet the exemptions requirement of the act the ivory must be less than 10% of the total volume, and pre-date 1947. The exempt items will therefore still retain a value in the open market, and should not be dismissed when being considered for insurance, probate or inheritance tax valuations. Another factor which we should also be aware of are possible changes to the rules surrounding other types of ivory, beyond elephant teeth and tusks. In 2021 DEFRA (The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) launched a consultation regarding extending the ivory ban to include narwhals, hippos, walruses, killer whales and sperm whales. This will affect antique works of art such as scrimshaw tusks and teeth, and narwhal tusks. Results of the consultation are still pending, but should the Ivory Act be extended then we may find that all ivory, in the widest use of the term, will become valueless also. For now, it’s all a bit of a waiting game… Registering exempt items is something which Lyon & Turnbull can do on behalf of our/your clients.
