Returns, Cancellation & Refund Policy
UK Returns
We are happy to refund any item you are unhappy with upon receiving it. We do try our best to accurately describe all items and to capture any faults in the photographs. It is however important that there is an understanding that what we sell are pre owned pieces and have had a life some times 100's of years and been owned by numerous families in some cases. Wear and tear is to be expected on all our antique/vintage items.
We feel that this is part of the charm of owning such items!
***Please contact us in advance via email to discuss the option of return.
To return an item by post, please indicate postage method used (for our records) and a full refund will be credited to your original method of payment once the item is received.
We will pay for return postage only if the item was faulty and has been agreed in advance otherwise you are responsible for the full return postage costs.
Please note that you will be responsible for all return postage costs (using the original form of posting) of any items cancelled whilst in shipment.
Your statutory rights are not affected by our returns policy.
