About Heaton's

 

. . . . .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

. . . . . .the back room many thousands of prints and engravings Sherpa's and tea sent regularly . . the record is a browser for 5 hours!

Personally . . . . .an overworked ex teacher of mainly Art with two boys a farm full of waterfowl and poultry (100's + !) and run a few other websites ( http://www.domestic-waterfowl.co.uk) Direct email is rosking@freenetname.co.uk . . . . . .so occasionally life gets manic but then whose life does not . . also a very sick northern sense of humour beware 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
