IF YOU ARE PURCHASING FROM OUTSIDE THE US, some countries charge an import tax for some international purchases (this tax may be collected by the shipping company prior to delivery). If you are concerned that your government might tax you for your purchase then please inquire with your government's customs office prior to purchase. Check the shipping tracking number on line in case a delivery attempt has been made, or a Customs duty is due, as items returned to us if the postal service can't reach you, or refused items, will be reshipped at buyer's expense, or given a store credit; no refund for returned shipments.

ALL DELIVERY DATES mentioned by Etsy are ESTIMATES, no delivery date or range is guaranteed, though most of our orders arrive ahead of estimate. And of course, when shopping during a pandemic, international and perhaps some domestic shipments may also take longer to arrive. Please only order if you agree to wait for a delivery that is en route, or until a USPS investigation determines otherwise. See shipping section of our policies for complete shipping information.

If the tracking number shows the item was delivered then no compensation for loss will be available so please be certain that your delivery address is secure. Signature may by required by someone at the delivery address, if you have any delivery or signature requirements please let us know prior to purchase. Check the tracking number on line in case a delivery attempt has been made, or a Customs duty is due. Items returned to us if the postal service can't reach you, or refused items, will be reshipped at buyer's expense, or given a store credit; no refunds for returned shipments.

Condition is relative to age and no condition assessment implies unworn, unused, showroom-new condition. Flaws that are seen by our camera will be visible in photos, lesser signs of wear may be too minor for our camera to capture. Loss of gilt or flecks of paint, mild discolors, small or faint abrasions, patina and metal wear, crazing and craquelure and other glaze imperfections, wear to bottoms of bases, lines of separation in picture frame decorations, and all other signs of natural wear on vintage and antique items are not considered flaws, but rather are valuable indications of authentic age. Please expect these discreet signs of natural age-appropriate wear on all your vintage and antique treasures.

Computer color displays vary, actual color may differ from that displayed on your monitor. If you have a question about color we will describe the color as we see it though we can't guarantee that you'll have the same color interpretation. Measurements are approximate. Variable meaning terms like 'gold', 'pearl', 'silver' may be used to describe color or finish, and may not indicate all possible literal definitions. We don't scrape or file or X-Ray metals to determine how much primary, secondary, or tertiary metals might be in any object. Our opinion regarding era, age, genre, style, material, medium, maker, technique, color, condition, origin, history, and all descriptive information may differ from yours and is offered without guarantee.

Artist and maker names are relayed without guarantee. When necessary and possible, authenticity—including celebrity provenance—is confirmed to our standard, if you have your own criteria for determining authenticity of any item please employ it prior to purchase as transactions are not voided on the basis of discrepancy in perceptions of authenticity.

Paintings may have had retouch, reline, resize, restretch, or minor repair in their history that may be unknown by/unrelayed by us; backs of sealed artwork will likely not have been opened for inspection. Antique picture frames should be considered free with purchase of artwork, they will always show signs of distress, age, and wear including small losses of molded decoration; additional losses may occur in shipment and will not be covered by insurance nor are they a reason for refund, though all items can be returned for exchange or store credit within the return window (see Returns). Please notify us if you prefer to forego the frame and we will adjust the shipping price where possible.

After purchase, flat art may receive additional paper or fabric backing and/or improved hanging hardware at our discretion. All objects may be dusted, lightly cleaned and/or lightly polished before shipment. Any joined or applied elements (frame decorations, etc.) that might be at risk of coming loose in transit may be secured with quality repair and retouch mediums prior to shipment. When hanging artwork, please test capacity of walls as well as any hardware (hooks, wires, strings, etc.) that's been included with your purchase before hanging wall art, or consult a professional at your discretion.

The US and most countries can return for exchange or store credit. Contact us within 3 days of original delivery, send back to airmail shipper within 7 days of original delivery, please email us for return address. If we allow a return after 7 days, a 3%/day rental fee will be deducted from credit until item reaches us. Original and return shipping is paid by buyer, shipping we cover will be deducted from exchange credit. Returns must be labeled as such as any customs or shipping fee incurred by us will be deducted from exchange credit. Exchange credits are not applicable to existing layaway and can not be used on other discounted or Sale items. Layaways returns or repeat returns will incur a 20 fee. No purchase is eligible for cash refund.

Our shop is governed by US law. Should Etsy require US sellers to abide EU regulation, our standard window for notice of intent to return will extend to 14 days, all other EU requirements will apply. Buyer pays return air shipping within 14 days of notice of intent to return, and will receive a refund for any item returned in original condition; deductions made for items showing use or damage. If we must refund original shipping, we would no longer be able to accept future orders from that buyer at any of our shops. Alternately, any buyer who pays their own shipping costs and opts to return for exchange as allowed by our standard return policy, is welcome to continue to shop with us. No shipping other than Standard is subject to refund.
