ITEM DESCRIPTION

 Up for your consideration is one of the finest stained glass lamps I have ever seen.  It is quite large, with the shade measuring 16" in diameter, and it measures 26" tall from the base to the finial.  The base is made of wrought iron and is 14" square.  The base appears to be English, and dates to the 1910 - 1920s.  It was originally black, and has been stripped and re-patinated, but is not original to the shade.  Based on the diffuser cap, the shade was likely made in the 1950's, and is of Tiffany or Williamson quality with amazing detail and complexity.  It is free of any broken glass or restorations.  It has been rewired with new sockets added.  Both the shade and the base are unsigned.  The colors all complement one another with greens, purples, and yellows.  I has been saving the base for several years, and this is the perfect marriage. 

SHIPPING COSTS/TERMS

SHIPPING COST FOR THIS ITEM IS $65.00 (3 Boxes) 

This quote is for the Continental U.S. only, and the item will be sent via UPS or FedEx. WE CANNOT USE USPS as our local branch is completely unreliable. THEREFORE, I WILL NEED YOUR HOME ADDRESS, NOT A P.O. BOX. 

This charge includes all costs including quality packing, shipping fees, & full insurance at the purchase price.  International shipping is available, but prior permission by the seller is required before you bid.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:  We can ship most of our merchandise internationally, but you will need to contact us prior to purchase for permission.  WE ACCEPT PAYPAL ON INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES.

Once the item is paid for, we will drop it off at their business, at that time you may request a condition report from the shipper to confirm that the piece was described properly prior to shipment.  However, once the item is shipped, all contacts, communications, & claims are the responsibility of the purchaser and the "The Shipping Place."  I cannot file a claim for these items, as I am not the primary shipper.  However, I will be glad to assist you in any way possible to expedite the process.

ITEM INSPECTION/RETURN POLICY

ABOUT US (or my personal policies based on neccessity)

Currently, our gallery is in transition.  Personally, I am responsible for all activities.  This includes packing, shipping, item descriptions, and communications.  My responsibilities also include all initial purchases (either at auction, estate purchases, etc.), and restorations and cleaning. 

For this reason, I graciously ask for extra time for shipments.  Usually, items are shipped within 5 business days, but sometimes take up to 10 days.  I monitor my eBay account on a daily basis, and will gladly provide my cell phone number if requested.  As my feedback shows, I am an honest & reliable broker.  I package & describe my items much better that most. 

Usually, I can accomodate a special request, but ask for some sympathy & understanding based on eBay's new hyper-critical rating system, and ever-changing rules.  Please understand that customer satisfaction is my highest priority.  

Also, please note that I lose money on shipping overall.  I do my best to offer a fair estimate.  Sometimes it is a bit higher than actual costs, but often I lose $30 - $40 on certain items that are just a bit to heavy, or an odd size.  If for some reason that shipping costs are substantially less than what is paid for, I will refund the balance.  However, please understand the cost of materials, as I only use quality  & new materials.  I never charge for my labor.       

CONTACT INFORMATION (BEFORE or AFTER PURCHASE)

 ALL COMMUNICATIONS REGARDING PURCHASED ITEMS MUST BE DONE DIRECTLY THROUGH EBAY, and NOT THROUGH MY PERSONAL EMAIL.   The Yahoo email address provided by eBay for this account is not monitored, so sending information or asking questions via email to that address will not result in a response. 

We monitor and respond to most communications (made directly through eBay) within 24 hours, and we are glad call you to discuss any potential purchases or shipping details.
