Where to begin, firstly I don’t want to sell this, it is without a doubt the most stunning chest on stand in the world, it belongs in its own exhibition with people cuing to see it. It is a mid Victorian leather clad trunk on a William & Mary style base, the painting is very period and would have been the highlight of a study or library
Condition wise, we have lightly cleaned waxed and polished it, there paint has nicely aged as you can see, there will be good honest patination all over

CONDITION

and as listed
Royal House Antiques cannot be held liable for any independent
assumptions made regarding the items we sell, if you are unsure on any point,
please feel free to ask for clarity
Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating
will always have natural patina in the form of creasing and wear, we recommend annual
waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended
to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and
fade
DELIVERY OR COLLECTION
This item is available for collection from our Pulborough warehouses RH20-1DF
by appointment only, alternatively we can have it delivered nationwide to
include Scotland, Wales and Ireland for a fee
Please contact me via email, alternatively my contact information is
under the business seller section of the listing, with your postcode for a
delivery quotation, as mentioned above the fee listed covers with the M25 for
the UK, for international deliveries the amount listed covers local Europe only
so parts of Belgium and France
Please be sure to include which item you would like to buy as the price
is determined on size and distance, if you would like more than one piece of
furniture the courier offers a substantial discount on the second and third
item, for international shipping please view the below information
COURIER, LARGE ITEMS ONLY THAT CAN’T BE POSTED
We can arrange delivery nationwide, mostly with our nominated couriers,
for Europe we use one reasonably priced professional company that we trust, for
the rest of the world we use international shippers that can send any size item
crated via air freight within 7-14 days after crating or soft packed and
container shipped via sea freight within 30-60 days. The time frames outlined
are guides only, non-domestic shipping is almost entirely governed by the
airlines, sea freight loading times and custom clearances
Whomever delivers will always require help on the larger items to
unload, the price you will be quoted will always be based on this assumption,
if this is not possible, please let us know as it will affect the price to send
a two-person team
Delivery is to the ground floor only, again if you need help upstairs or
in flats etc that's absolutely not a problem, the couriers charge £10-£20 per
flight per man per item, if you have a working elevator then naturally there’s
no additional fee
All courier fees are paid by yourself directly to the courier company,
the contract for delivery is between yourselves the client and whichever
courier you chose from those available I’m happy to accommodate your own
courier after a cleared payment has been received, they need to book in a
collection time with at least 24 hours notice, all collections must be made
within 14 working days of the close of the sale unless agreed by prior
arrangement
IMPORT DUTY
Most countries charge some kind of import duty however almost all of our
items won’t incur any charges as the items are exempt from tax due to the age
and materials used
For European deliveries the price you will be quoted will include all
clearance documentation and any customs charges so there won’t be any
additional fees
For international deliveries such as the United States there can be some
import duty to pay and or a clearance fee, I would estimate that 99% of all
deliveries clear customs without being stopped for either
All duties are the responsibility of the purchaser who is the importer,
they can’t be covered by the seller or shipping agent or factored in with
additional retrospective discounts
RETURNS
Royal House Antiques offers a no quibble return policy if the item is
not as described, if there are any issues with the piece you will be refunded
in full once the item has been returned and inspected within 14 days,
alternatively if there is a small issue, we can discuss finding a mutual
resolution that makes all parties happy
We don’t offer a sale on approval service which means you can purchase
the item, have it delivered and if you simply don’t like it, return it, this
comes under change of mind or doesn’t fit. There is a lot of time, money and
work involved in transporting goods around the world, the costs incurred can be
vast so my advice would be if you are unsure on a piece please ask as many
questions as you like to make sure you understand everything before you buy, if
you are still unsure then please either arrange a viewing in person or if
that’s not possible then don’t buy from an online retailer, perhaps look for a
local gallery instead
