Extra Info and Layaway Plan
We do not charge any sale taxes. As a US-buyer, you do not have to pay any custom charges on antique artwork.
We will provide all needed documents for the customs, the buyer does not have to worry about this.
We ship ” to your door”, with USPS or DHL, with internet tracking and fully insured.
If required by the buyer: the “layaway plan”.
Layaway is accepted on all items.
General guidelines on layaways:
up to 600 US$: 1/3 downpayment (within 5 days of “sale”), 1/3 payment within 30 days.
1/3 payment within 60 days of “sale”.
For items 600US$ and up: 20% payment with “sale” ( within 5 days of “sale”), this secures the sale.
Payment monthly with equal payments determined by customer and us.
* Failure to meet terms and conditions of agreement will result in default of layaway.
Credit will be issued to purchaser for use in future purchase but no cash refund will be given. A 5 day grace period is allowed but if there is a problem that arises with a payment please contact us for assistance. ( Or even more than 5 days, please contact us if necessary)
Our paintings are always shipped with the highest care possible, in professional shipment boxes for paintings, very well protected. If there is a problem with shipping damage, we will look into this and solve it with a partial money payback to the buyer, regarding the damage to the painting. ( our shipments are fully insured)
Though, one exception: with antique “gesso” frames, there is always a ( slight) possibility of gesso loss or light frame damage during shipment, due to temperature differences and vibrations during shipment. If the box is not damaged, these problems cannot resolve in any money payback to the buyer.
Payments
We accept paypal, money order or bank wire. You can always contact us by email for payment details.
