Business InformationHistory/background
I absolutely love waking everyday and dealing in Fine Art and Antiques. I have 40 years experience as an Art and Antique collector and Auction attendee with an Art and Media educational background. I spend all my time now sourcing, buying and selling Fine Art and Antiques and it took me many years to get here. Along the road to this point, I travelled extensively in over 2 dozen countries, worked 35 years in fortune 300 companies as a Senior Executive Manager In the Transportation and Logistics field and became a Real Estate Entrepreneur with 32 years experience owning 18 properties in various cities.
I have many years of experience dealing in Fine Art and Antiques and enjoy discovering new artworks to bring to the market. I have experience in estate liquidation including partial or entire estate purchases. I welcome the oppertunity to work with individuals and corporations wishing to divest of, or improve their collections.
Payment policy
I will quickly email you providing shipping service options and costs. Please do not pay until you select the shipping service you wish and then recieve the Total INVOICE that will include your purchase and selected shipping cost Total.
Immediate payment by Paypal can be made by clicking the PAY NOW button on the INVOICE and following the steps. You may email me if you have any questions.
I also accept money orders which requires shipping after the bank clears the funds from the purchasers bank, this can take up to several weeks. Bank to bank wire transfer is also acceptable.
Once funds have cleared, I send an email advising that the item has been shipped and will provide the carrier tracking number.
Regardless how payment is to be made. Buyer must make PAYMENT OR CONTACT within 48 hours of recieving invoice so that I know everything is OK with our transaction. I am easy to get along with and think some early communication helps keep the process smooth.
Shipping information
I will provide several shipping estimate options to you. Once you decide on the level of service you wish eg:cheapest cost = slow service or a faster service option = more expensive cost, then I will invoice you that amount added to the item cost and you will then make the invoice payment. Next, I will advise you by email that payment has been recieved and cleared and then advise you that the parcel has been shipped along with the tracking number.
Local winners may pick up the item if you wish.
I ship items within 2 days of payment clearance usually next day unless another arrangement is requested.
All items should be insured for loss and this cost will be included in the shipping guesstimate unless otherwise stated.
FYI - Common carriers have restrictions on the amount of insurance they will provide on high value Fine Art Paintings and have strict packaging requirements to qualify for this insurance.
Return policy
I do my best to adequately describe all items and try to provide good clear photo's however despite checking the listing description twice before listing it, mistakes can happen and if there is a mistake on the listing description, I will offer my appologies and accept returns that are based on the description error only.
The refund will be for the item cost only not including any shipping costs.
Fine Art Terms and Conditions:
All Estate art works and frames are sold -as found and described and usually contains age related wear. Transportation Frame damage is not refundable.
