Delivery, Returns & Exchanges
Payment Policy
All our items are sold on a first come first serve basis. Many of our pieces are handmade and hand finished and will not have a perfect factory finish, so when buying online please take time to study the photos and the description.
​
If you choose an existing vintage piece of furniture from us as a custom order we require payment in full prior to starting work. Should you bring in your own furniture for us to restyle we ask for a 50% deposit. Changes to work once underway will incur additional costs. If you would like to add further finishes to an already finished piece again, there will be additional charges.
We can take payments online, in store, over the phone or by bank transfer.
