OUR STORE POLICIES
Our aim is to sustain our planet and your custom
STOP DEFORESTATION-BUY ECO FRIENDLY VINTAGE FURNITURE & DECOR
Buying antique furniture rather than newly built furniture reduces landfill as antiques are not thrown away. This reduces carbon emissions and reduces the consumption of new goods from outside the UK so less freight
The antiques trade is the oldest recycling business in the history of the world and also preserves our heritage for future generations. Antique/Vintage furniture is sustainable, re-usable and re-saleable.
No trees are being cut down to make our furniture unlike the modern equivalent.
We ensure that all our packaging is recyclable, we reuse boxes and packaging and don't add marketing cards or stickers. It may not look as fancy, but it keeps our Eco footprint nice and light.
We use DPD Clean, Green delivery who are building the largest all-electric delivery fleet in the UK, in double quick time. Our specialist Antique delivery company only transports full loads using premium unleaded.
SHIPPING POLICY
For smaller items, that can be packaged and postage without too much risk of damage, we use DHL Clean, Green delivery. There are various prices for parcels, based on both weight and size, and the amount of time/packaging required. This will be displayed when you add your item to your basket, but will also be mentioned in the product listing. We aim to post all items within 3 working days of ordering – all items are insured. If an item arrives damaged, please let us know within 48 hours. You may be asked to send photographs of the damage so that we can place a claim our end with the postage handler.
Large/furniture items - specialist courier delivery. We use trusted couriers to deliver our large/furniture items throughout the Mainland UK. We also work with a dedicated courier who delivers to London and the surrounding area most weeks. A flat rate of £60 is applied for all Mainland UK deliveries - however if you are located in Scotland, Wales, Devon, Cornwall or a remote/coastal area, then there may be an extra surcharge - this is to take into account the extra mileage/time required to deliver to these areas. Please contact us prior to ordering if you would like a quotation.
Once you have purchased an item either we, or the courier, will be in touch within the next 7 working days (via email or text message) to arrange delivery. You will be provided with a delivery date and typically a 2 hour window to help you plan your day accordingly. Please note that deliveries are usually carried out by a single driver, so assistance may be required for large items. Orders are delivered 7 days a week and at various times of the day, depending on where you are located on the driver’s planned route, so some flexibility is needed please. If you do have any special requirements i.e. if you need a two-person delivery, or help upstairs to another floor, then please contact us ASAP so that we can make special arrangements for you (please note that extra assistance may require a surcharge).
Please note: It is the responsibility of each customer to ensure that the item ordered will fit through all access points and into the space intended. Items cannot be returned because they do not fit.
International delivery

1. PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Most of the items that we sell are vintage and will be clearly described as vintage.
Whilst we spend a lot of time sympathetically restoring each item, some natural wear and tear should still be expected – we believe this adds to the general appeal of each item as it makes it truly unique.
We endeavor to provide very clear and detailed photographs of each product, however, if you would like further clarification on the condition of an item please contact us before making a purchase. We are very happy to answer any questions/queries and would much rather our customers make an informed decision before committing to buy.
Due to limitations and colour variations between monitors there may be slight colour variations to those displayed. For upholstered items, we are always happy to supply fabric samples – please contact us stating which item/fabric you would like and we’ll get a sample sent out to you.
We also sell a number of new, ‘upcycled’ and made-to-order items – and these will be described as such.
2. DIMENSIONS
For all items we provide approximate dimensions – if space is tight, or you need exact measurements, please contact us and we will try and provide more detailed information.
We cannot be held responsible if an item of furniture cannot gain access to, or does not fit in its intended space. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you measure all access areas prior to making a purchase.
Please note: Items cannot be returned because they are the wrong size or do not fit – please see our Returns Policy further down the page for more information.
