Terms & Conditions
Condition of Works
We try to provide accurate details of all of our available works, including standard catalogue references where possible and accurate condition descriptions. Please bear in mind that our ethos is centred on the principle of ‘unearthing’ art treasures and as such, our available works are all in varying states of condition. Our pricing structure reflects this as we see fit. Requests for further condition reports and photographs are replied to as soon as possible. If you are very disappointed we do offer a returns policy – please see below.
Returns & Refunds
Should any purchased works of art not exactly meet with our descriptions or you have changed your mind, we do offer a ‘Money Back Return Policy’. You do have a ‘cooling off’ period of 14 working days after the day on which the item was delivered. Our mission is to share our finds with you and if you’re not happy, we’re not happy!
If you wish to cancel your order, please contact us as soon as possible within 14 working days upon receipt of your item. Please use the address or phone number or email address on the contact page. If we are unable to take your call, please leave a message.
However, the postage cost of the return is to be paid for and charged to the customer. Please retain the track and trace number from the Post office until you receive your refund from us. There is no handling fee charge.
Refunds will be paid within 30 days, as long as the item has been received in the same condition as sent, unless due to postal damage.
