. . . . .Just to
introduce ourselves on ebay we sell any collectables
brought in by locals ( mainly elderly) so our ebay stock
may be all sorts of odd bits plus our prints or items
from stock that do not fit shelves etc .This means that
many items are new to sale being in sheds or garages for
years and I try to get the descriptions correct if I do
not know about the object I say as ignorance is always
better . All postage is at cost, which is why it is not
normally listed until after the sale completes, as I
caught a cold by some people paying u.k. rates for the U.
S. A. Packaging is recycled covered in brown / kraft
paper and labelled well as it is always nice to receive a
parcel even if purchased by yourself and helping the
recycling helps your pocket so worth it. Additionally I
operate a money back guarantee upon receipt of the goods
back if not to standard or as wanted for any reason and
do not hide behind odd names or nom de plumes to sell
shoddy or repro goods.For the prints although we used
recycled card everything is well wrapped with return
labels etc. .
. . . . the shop . .
on its own now as the rest of the area is houses but free
parking on the doorstep
. . . . In the shop we
are by trade a map and print specialist from the wilder
parts of Wiltshire (Uk) . We have a considerable stock
available to the trade and private buyers ( one of the
larger ones in the country . . . a natural squirrel here)
all with a quick turn around on our website. This means
that we can send items requested by your customers for
them to check normally within the week . Our stock ranges
from the modern poster to antiquarian prints or maps from
the 16th century. For this there is a return in same
condition etc guarantees . . if the print is wrong or
incorrect its cost will be refunded.. .
Plus we have a very
comprehensive range of furnishings and designer goods (
the ex art training !) from Arts and Crafts period to
Deco and 50/70's Retro specialising in the more useful ie
lots of lamps , glass , tables etc but lacking in dodgy
chipped cups and saucers and NO crumb trays or 'faux
Victorain vases" and other repro or car boot items. The
shop only has prints and some pics listed online ( after
being asked to freight furniture to the US . . do not
even try ) but if anything special is wanted yell by
phone or email as I can send digital pics or if on the
A303 we are about a mile from the road in Tisbury which
although a mini town has a lot going for it from many
gastro pubs to a deli/tea shop.

Reduce
the amount of the Earth's resources that we
use.
Reuse
don't just bin it, could someone else make
use of it?
Recycle
Can the materials be made into something
new?

Seems
startling but most Antiques and collectables
being preowned are in fact very 'green' and
most Antique shops have the smallest 'Carbon
Footprint' of any shop on the High Street
with few toxic chemicals; fewer airmiles etc
. Plus the satisfaction of picking pieces not
from clone shops that were made with skill
and craftsmanship from whatever era's design
you prefer creating your own
environment

thousands of prints and engravings Sherpa's and tea sent

hours!

descriptions if a basket case described as such !
ABOUT ME
. .
.Please understand
I am not glued to my PC. I do have a life . So ask
questions ASAP to give me time to answer them.
. . . .
I am human, and being
human, I will make the odd mistake. If I do, then all I
ask is that you have a little patience while I sort the
problem out. The only thing it will cost is a little
time. I will bear the expense. If you are wanting an
appraisal for insurance or research on an artist or print
normally your time is precious . . . . . so is mine so
please do not send numerous emails asking for a free
written valuation for your insurance company .Telephone
or personal queries will be answered emails asking for
written valuations occasionally
THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS
RIGHT. . . . .
.Except when they
are abusive, impatient & rude.. . . . . . If you fall
is this category then please do not buy. Also I may be
female but can pack a parcel correctly so please no
queries as to competence . . it tends to get over
sellotaped and needs advanced skills to open !
some of the etchings . . the tidiest area of the shop
much of the better stuff does not hit the website so yell
if something special is wanted
