Vintage and antique items usage and expectations

Everything we sell has a history and life of its own. It will invariably show signs of wear. All items have been carefully photographed and detail any major wear or damage. We take great care in being transparent and explaining the condition of as we want you to love your purchase as much as we do. Do note that antique items are fragile and will not necessarily function in the same way as modern items. Care should be taken purchasing antique items and expectations of daily usage should be realistic. Vintage and antique items may have aged well, but may have minor scuffs, scratches, age related marks. This kind of wear is accepted as given.

We post as soon as possible and use practical solutions to send to you. If there is overpayment on shipping, we refund wherever possible. If you require any special posting please enquire before purchase so we can help as much as possible. Please note that we may have to fill out customs forms about your purchase and there may be customs delays and/or charges. We sometimes use tracked services you can see where your item is. If your item is uncollected at your end and returned, this can be resent at your cost covering return postage. No refund can be given until the item is returned safely to us. We are unable to refund missing items until the criteria for being lost set by postal service is met. Refunds take up to 48 hours to pro

Can I return my item or exchange?

Please ask any queries before purchasing and read and examine the item carefully before purchase. All items are described clearly. You have a legal right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving the item. To meet the cancellation deadline, you must send your communication of cancellation before the 14-day period has expired. Customers that wish to return an online purchase for a refund should post the item(s) back within 28 days from when you received your order. Please use a tracked postal service and retain proof of postage. Returned items must be in their original condition and we reserves the right to refuse a refund or exchange if the goods returned are deemed to have been damaged. All returns must be made at your own cost.

Will you combine shipping?

We will always do what we can to keep costs down in shipping. We cannot predict what combination of items and weight customers may buy and what the costs are and subsequently it is best to ask us before buying about combining costs. We combine shipping as much as possible and am always happy to refund any over costs. The UK Etsy Shipping Options doesn't allow for complex quotations on shipping but we can always advise. Insurance only covers up to £250 so we may need to separate out larger orders in order to meet this.

Do you accept offers on items?

We price everything at what we consider to be a reasonable cost. We consider the rarity, condition and age of each item and cost it accordingly. We also have a transparency to the prices, so what you see is what you get rather than inflating our prices to encourage offers. We also have to cover our costs for purchase. We do not accept offers on items as we have costed it appropriately with all these considerations.

We use tracking services if your purchase is higher cost. You will be given a tracking number and instructions on how and where to use when your item is dispatched. If your item does not arrive on schedule please check this tracking number before coming to us as we have no further information than that and we will just be checking the same tracking number as you will. Please note items are only considered "Lost" by postal services after certain timescales are met. We are unable to consider the item lost until these met.

We may use small items to help display or contain items, such as boxes for beads etc.. These are for display purposes only and unless included in the description are not included in the purchase

Vintage

From the 19th century

This is a gorgeous piece of original Victorian embellishment.

It is a series of sections of complex bead pieces including two balls which all appear to be hand crafted. The beads have thick columns constructed entirely of French Jet beads which are beautifully faceted and just such a complex and skilled piece. The balls measure 0.9 inches across and the total length of the cording measures over 15 inches - absolutely masses of beads for use as they are or for repurposing. They have loose threads as shown.

This is an old item and as a vintage or antique item, it will show signs of age and patina.

Please look at the photos carefully and please do ask any questions, I am happy to help.Please note for US customers, the huge change in tariffs has meant we have had to increase our postage charges to account for the tariffs introduced by the US government. This is still very much a work in progress, so we may need to make changes or ask for further information to ensure you can receive your order as smoothly as possible. Please bear with us as we progress along with Etsy on these significant changes for your country's export/import legislation.
