The time I need to prepare an order for shipping varies. For details, see individual items.
Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. I'm not responsible for delays due to customs.
All my pieces are blanket wrapped and sealed in plastic wrap. Extra protection is applied to delicate carved areas.
Once your order is placed, I will begin searching for independent drivers with routes to your area. These are consolidated shippers and delivery can be expected within 14 days but usually sooner, depending on your distance from the gallery.
The short answer; no. All of my pieces are high end reproductions. They are handmade with all the old world techniques and materials; Solid beech wood, Real Marquetry and Veneer, Gold leaf, solid brass. Though my pieces can pass off as original, I believe in being forthright with my customers and providing them with all the necessary information needed to feel comfortable with your purchase. Don't be fooled by sellers claiming their pieces to be originals from Italy and France. True antiques would be valued at over 10x the price!
