"As Is, Where Is" Policy:

All items are sold "as is, where is," with all faults and imperfections.

No warranties or representations of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose are expressed or implied.

Items are available for examination prior to bidding. By placing a bid, you signify that you have thoroughly examined the items or chosen not to examine them.

Descriptions (written or oral) reflect our opinions and are not guarantees regarding age, condition, materials, or other features.

The absence of a condition report does not imply an object is free of defects. Items may show normal signs of wear and age that might not be noted in condition reports.

Condition Reports and Frames:

Condition reports are provided as a courtesy and may contain errors or omissions.

Frames are not guaranteed to remain in the condition depicted in photographs due to handling and shipping. Antique frames are particularly susceptible to losses. Please contact us with frame-related questions prior to the auction.

Refunds and Final Sales:

All sales are final. Refunds are not offered under any circumstances.

If certainty in any area of authenticity is critical and your evaluation leaves doubt, we recommend refraining from bidding.
