Shipping and collection

Antiques are not parcels. Small pieces that fit a box are sent by courier at a calculated rate; anything that needs a crate or two people is quoted individually, usually within a day. Collection from the house in Meda is always welcome, and we can hold a piece for you until you are ready.

Condition, honestly

Every piece is described the same way: what it is, where it has been, and exactly what has been restored. Losses, repairs and replaced parts are stated in the entry and photographed. If something is not mentioned, it is original. Ask us anything before you buy — a written condition report and further photographs are available on request.

Returns

Buyers in the European Union may return a piece within fourteen days of delivery without giving a reason, in the condition in which it was received; the direct cost of the return journey is borne by the buyer. We would rather you asked every question first — a piece that arrives exactly as described rarely goes back.
