SUPER COLLECTIBLE LARGE ORIENTAL SHAGREEN SPECTACLES CASE WITH COPPER MOUNTS c1890



Ever popular with collectors of oriental items and shagreen items are shagreen covered spectacles cases such as this.  This excellent example is one of the larger ones of its type and is of very good quality as indicated by the decorative copper mounts (see photos.)

 

Please see the attached photos which are an integral part of this description.  All items are described to the best of my knowledge, however I usually don't state the obvious as this can be seen from the numerous photos provided.



As can be seen from the attached photos the case is in excellent condition for its age with surprisingly very limited loss or damage to the shagreen.   



Items are offered at prices which reflect a number of factors including their current condition.  Please appreciate that all items are antique/vintage/used and therefore are likely to show varying degrees of age-related wear and tear.  If you are looking to purchase an item in guaranteed 100% pristine condition, may I suggest you consider purchasing something new rather than antique or vintage which will almost inevitably show some signs of age.



If you need any additional information please contact me before proceeding with a purchase or bid.   Please note that this item may also be offered for sale elsewhere (e.g.: via other platforms or at antique fairs) so if you intend to purchase please do not hesitate as it could lead to disappointment!

This item can be shipped worldwide, subject to the schedule of excluded countries noted in the listing.   



When completing a purchase, please provide confirmation of your address along with an email address and mobile telephone number as these are usually required by the carrier and frequently by customs.   Recent experience has shown that contact details held on E-bay are often incomplete (or simply incorrect.)



If the item is to be shipped out of the UK (including to the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, the Scottish Islands and N. Ireland,) please get in touch (ideally prior to bidding or purchasing a 'buy it now' item) in order to agree a final shipping quote as THE CHARGE SHOWN IN THE LISTING IS AN ESTIMATE FOR YOUR GUIDANCE ONLY. 



In the event of a small underestimation of final shipping cost, I will accept to meet that shortfall.  However, if there is a significant variation between the estimated shipping cost and actual cost then the additional sum payable will be advised to the buyer and a debit will be raised through PayPal.



Shipping/postage costs from the UK do not include any provision for import or similar taxes or customs duties or third party handling fees which may become payable in the buyers home country.  All of these and the like (if any) are strictly for the buyers own account.  



Please also take particular note that in the unlikely event that an item needs to be returned to the UK, any sum which becomes payable due to the re-import of the item will be for the original buyers account and must be paid prior to shipping the item back to the UK.



Unless otherwise agreed, Insurance is not provided and is something for the buyer to arrange for themselves, if required.  Every effort will be made to pack items as safely and securely as possible, please appreciate however that no liability will be accepted for loss or damage once the item has been dispatched.  Please also refer to the protection which may be provided to you under the eBay money back guarantee scheme.
