I DO A LAYAWAY.

For U.S. customers, please note: antiques over 100 years old are currently duty-free when imported into the United States under U.S. customs regulations (HTS Chapter 97, heading 9706).

I handle all customs paperwork and, if any import charges apply, pay them upfront, so you won’t be asked to pay any additional fees upon delivery.

Parcels are fully tracked, insured, and carefully packed.

Thank you for visiting and for sharing my love of these beautiful witnesses to the past.
