Notes

About this template

A heritage page has to feel unhurried and certain, and it is judged in the first screen. This template opens under a segmental arch drawn in one gold hairline, with the sale's dates set either side like an architect's notes, and a glint that follows the pointer along the gold. Below it the sale's highlights stand on plinth lines; the ways to bid are set out with the buyer's premium as a table; one feature waits behind reeded panels that part as the reader scrolls; the season's record is a colonnade whose figures are engraved stroke by stroke; the departments run as a ruled index naming each specialist; and a charcoal band carries the visiting hours and a valuation request that takes photographs, before a footer under a shallow pediment. The header, hero, record and footer are symmetric; everything between runs a catalogue grid. Every claim, from the figures and rates to the lots, quotations and specialists, comes from one typed content object marked as placeholder, replaced in one place. It scrolls with the page, or inside its own box.

Curator’s note

Part of the Neoclassical kit, drop 3, phase 9: the page template. Pro because it composes the whole kit into one page. Not featured: the hero is the drop's only featured entry. Its content is one typed object, HOUSE_DEMO, marked as placeholder for a fictional house.
