Terms & Conditions
Fabric
We hope you will be delighted with your fabric, however we are unable to accept returns on either wallpaper or fabrics, or any other bespoke or customised products unless faulty. Please see our returns procedure below.
Furniture
We hope that you love your purchase and your lovingly restored piece of furniture. As with most pieces of re-finished furniture, it is common at times to have the odd imperfection or minor damage. Indeed, this is what gives the furniture its character and charm and is often one of the reasons why we chose the piece in the first place.
We always try to restore and repair any unsightly holes and damage that we think necessary or that does not detract from the vintage charm, because we want our furniture not only to look beautiful, but to also be practical. In respect to our furniture for sale, we will always try to show any imperfections in the product photographs and will provide a detailed description of each piece to give you as full a picture as possible. If you require any additional information about our furniture do not hesitate to get in touch and we will happily answer your questions.
