Terms and Conditions

Authenticity:

As a buyer you can be confident that the items purchased are genuine antiques and as described.

Items are sold and described “as is” and have been studied and bought for the sake of either research, personal collecting or for sale. All items offered for sale are, to the best of my knowledge, genuine antiques.

I urge buyers to read over article posts and ask questions to buy with confidence.

Payment:

Bank transfer and PayPal are accepted as payment options. In the event of a PayPal payment using the buyer protection option there will be a 4% increase in price to cover the PayPal fees, the “Friends and Family” option has no fees so I do suggest using this to save on costs!

Items can be reserved subject to a 20% non-refundable deposit and will be held for 7 days.

We offer a layaway scheme that can be taken advantage of which will consist of a 25% non-refundable deposit and a payment plan. This will be tailored to the customers wishes however, failure to pay within the assigned payment period will results in a voiding of the contract and forfeiting of the deposit. Items purchased via the layaway scheme will be completely non-refundable.

All pricing is in GBP.

Shipping:

We offer shipping worldwide and commonly ship through ParcelForce, FedEx or DHL. The most economical and safest choice will be chosen and can be discussed with us when purchasing.

It is the buyers responsibility to meet local customs requirements and laws, we cannot be held responsible for any customs issues but will strive to help as much as we can.

Collection is available and can be discussed at the time of purchase.

Orders and Returns:

All sales are final, as they have been studied, described and photographed showing any regions of concern should the piece should have any, to assuage any concerns of condition for the buyer. Returns will be accepted if there has been an oversight in description or depiction of an item. I will happily refund the price of the item minus shipping costs in these situations.

All sales are final with no returns when being bought in-person.

There is sufficient detail in the description but we will be more than happy to provide more images and descriptions should there be any concerns and we urge you to get in touch with any questions before buying to mitigate any issues! A buyer should be confident about their purchase with us.

As mentioned above if there has been any mistakes made in the description or depiction of an item we will happily offer a refund or exchange once the item has been returned. All returned items should be in the same condition as when shipped, returns will be voided if there is any change in condition.

Refunds or exchanges will be finalised within 30 days of receiving an item back.

Consignments:

As we offer a consignment service we will ask for the item to be shipped so that we can carry out photography and research if applicable. The consignment fee will be dependent on the piece and we will strive to get the best deal possible.

Photos and Research:

All rights to usage of photos of items and research will be retained by me under copyright law even after purchase for whatever use is intended. This is so that images can be used for articles, research and aesthetic use. This includes using our photographs of your item once purchased, which violates copyright law.

Warranty:

There is no warranty offered on pieces as they are antiques and not sold for any purpose other than to be enjoyed in their antique state. They are sold for display and research purposes and any damage caused due to poor handling or “test cutting”, or any such example, will be at the buyers fault and will not be covered to any extent. I am more than happy to offer advice for maintenance and care of their antiques so don’t hesitate to get in touch.
