I am a retired Antiques Dealer who is gradually  disposing of his stock through EBay. All items listed are genuine in my expert opinion, and the condition of the item is as listed. If any item is found to be not as described, or if the condition varies markedly from that given in the listing, then I will give a full money back guarantee upon receipt of the disputed item as long as I am notified within 5 days of receipt. I will also refund return royal mail signed for postage costs. In all other returns the buyer will be responsible for the return postage costs. If there is anything that you are particularly collecting, or you have a wants list, please feel free to ask. If it is not immediately to hand (3 storerooms), I will make a note and come back to you if it turns up.

This is a Fine Example of an Early 20th Century Black Lacquered Trinket Box with Hand Painted Chinoisery Decoration Circa 1930

The condition is very good but the base lacquering is mostly missing. The colours are still well defined. There is no key.

Unless otherwise stated, I offer a P&P service for all mainland UK destinations by Royal Mail Second Class Signed For Service, subject to the following restrictions - Small parcel size or less, under 2 Kilos in weight and under £50 in value. For all other P&P options please see the listing. I am happy to send items over £50 in value under the same P&P conditions but these will be at the buyer's risk. For items over £50 in value, with full cover, then please stipulate Royal Mail Special Delivery. The P&P for all my overseas despatches is for tracked/signed plus insurance where appropriate. If you do not want insurance then please indicate, but all but the first £50 will be at your risk. I will send overseas through Royal Mail Standard International, which is a significantly cheaper rate, but all but the first £20 is entirely at your risk. These are all Royal Mail conditions which they are now strictly enforcing.
