WELCOME
We
are a wholly owned family business in our third decade of continuous operation.
We have a large inventory of fine antiques ranging from Early American,
Federal, Chippendale, Empire, Centennial, Victorian, 20th Century custom mahogany,
Art Deco and mid-century modern antique furniture along with decorative arts
from across the globe. All the items we offer to the
general public are high quality estate pieces. We do not offer goods with
significant flaws or defects. We completely avoid items with issues. You can
expect the items we sell to have reasonable wear and tear. Due to the large
volume of goods we deal in we cannot describe items in minutia. We do our best
to give you an accurate condition report in our description of the items. We
have expert woodworkers and re-finishers on staff to service any piece of
furniture we offer. We represent all merchandise in absolute good faith and to
the very best of our ability. Please ask all questions, including but
not limited to, shipping costs prior to purchase. All items are
sold as is and from their location. Massachusetts General Law applies to all
sales. Bidding on and purchasing any item is under the acknowledgment of the
buyer and is consent to the contractual agreement set forth herein. This
agreement is in full force and effect on any item purchased through our EBay
store and on items purchased through us and our gallery. We strive to make your
on-line buying experience as easy and pleasant as possible. If you require
immediate assistance please do not hesitate to contact us. If
you would like to find about any number of our services including appraisals
and restoration, please ask us about our website for more information. We
accept all major credit cards and are delighted to answer any questions that
you may have or provide services you may need.
ON-LINE SALES/TERMS OF USE
All
Massachusetts residents are subject to the 6.25% sales tax unless you possess a
valid resale number from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We do not accept returns so please, ask all
questions prior to submitting an offer or purchasing. We have a zero tolerance
policy for non-paying buyers. Any offer we accept is a binding sale and subject

SHIPPING & DELIVERIES
We deliver
within a 175 mile range of zip code 01105 for a low cost flat rate. We specialize in New York City and Boston deliveries at
extremely reasonable rates. Please contact us to obtain a fast shipping
quote. For items requiring shipping beyond our delivery zone, we offer freight
or “Ground Services” shipping, depending on the size of the items. We ship
anywhere within the Continental United States. Items will require packaging and
palletizing for freight shipments. The buyer is responsible for the cost of
materials only for this service. We
perform this service without the cost of labor as an appreciation for your
patronage. Freight class shipping is the fastest and most cost effective method
of shipping large items. We can reach anywhere in America with a large shipment
within 7-10 business days. We buy
materials in bulk to save you excessive costs. The materials required for
proper crating of items for their safe transit is so specialized we may need up
to 7-10 business days to make sure
we get absolutely what is required & do the best job possible. We go the
extra mile by designing premium customized furniture crates for the ultimate
protection of your purchase. We ship from our facility with a loading dock on a
major trucking artery. This and our “volume shippers” discount creates a
substantial lower cost for you. The least expensive method of shipping is
business to business with loading docks. Next is a business without a dock and
the last option is shipping to a resident. We are sending your shipments with
freight carriers. They are not furniture movers who bring the items into your
home. You are provided with curbside delivery of your shipments. We can get you
special services in certain cases, but you are responsible for telling us you
require them and for the extra cost of these services, if you instruct our
shippers to provide services beyond curbside deliveries. We are responsible for
any additional services and charged for these services. We absolutely maintain
our right to collect the costs of these charges for services we did not
authorize or were prepaid for. We urge all customers to obtain special coverage
and protection for their freight class shipments provided through our Freight
Broker’s independent third party insurance coverage provider. In some cases it’s
simply not needed, but on certain delicate shipments we have to insist upon it.
Again the process is all designed to protect your investment and is an option
offered for your protection.
MERCHANDISE PICK UP AND
STORAGE
All our customers are welcome
to come to our facility to pick up their purchases free of charge. You can
expect friendly help in loading your purchase in your vehicle. We ask that you
come ready to transport your purchase by having ample pads or blankets to protect
your item in transit. We don’t like to send nice people off with things tied to
roof racks. We also do not desire to charge storage fees, but we are holding
some purchases for over three years now and are under no contract to. We are
not a storage facility. We are happy to hold your items for a reasonable
pre-agreed upon period. Beyond or absent any specified contract a $50.00 dollar
per week storage fee will apply.
