How buying works

Every piece on this site is a one-off that has been used, loved and sometimes repaired. That is why we do not sell through an online checkout. We talk first, so you know exactly what you get and what it costs to bring it home.

1. You enquire

Use the WhatsApp, call or email button on the product page, or the contact form. Tell us which piece you like and where it should go. Prices on the site are the price of the piece, excluding shipping.

2. We confirm and quote

We confirm that the piece is still available (or reserve it for you) and quote the shipping or collection options. Shipping is always specialty transport, quoted per piece and per destination.

3. We check and prepare

Before anything leaves the showroom, Wim checks the woodwork, we test lamps and we pack the piece for transport. If something needs restoring or rewiring, we tell you first.

4. Delivery or collection

We deliver through specialist furniture carriers in the Netherlands, Europe and worldwide, or you collect in Zuidbroek (Groningen). Collection is by appointment, seven days a week, evenings included.

Payment

We send a quote with the total (piece plus shipping). You pay by bank transfer or PayPal, and we ship or hand over after payment. For larger pieces we can arrange a deposit to reserve the piece.

Shipping

  • Netherlands and Belgium: furniture courier, usually within 1–2 weeks after payment.

  • Europe: pallet or furniture courier, 1–3 weeks.

  • Worldwide: crated freight via PostNL, DHL, DB Schenker or a specialist shipper. We quote per piece; large or fragile pieces may need a custom crate.

  • Lamps and small objects: parcel service, insured.

Shipping is quoted before you commit. Import duties and taxes outside the EU are for the buyer.

Condition and returns

All pieces are vintage. We describe the condition honestly and show every defect we know of in the photos. If a piece arrives damaged in transport, contact us within 48 hours with photos and we solve it with the carrier. Because every piece is prepared and shipped specifically for you, we do not take returns for change of mind; collection in the showroom is a good way to see a piece first.
