Inspecting through the Prism
We inspect each and every item that we offer on our website with what we call the Roundabout Antiques “prism” – the “prism” is constructed with in depth knowledge and skills developed over some 40 years continuous, professional trading in antiques and collectables – handling an enormously diverse selection of collectable items totalling many, many millions dollars in value.
We use this “prism” in turn to only source QUALITY (we sort the wheat from the chaff - for you) and we then use the prism to describe these items correctly, factually and honestly.
Describing any previously owned and previously used item, given the age of the items, and the handmade nature of the items we sell, takes in depth knowledge and skill.
We make every human effort possible to detect or disclose significant age related soiling, damage through use or misuse, or restoration to damage to items on this website. Assessing condition whilst being mindful of the age of the items we sell – minor and insignificant wear, blemishes consistent with the manufacture techniques used in the production of an hand made item or simply evidence of age of a previously owned item (for example fine, clean crazing) is not damage - nor significantly detracting.
We have an unwavering commitment to authenticity, accuracy and quality. We guarantee the authenticity of our items.
We guarantee our items to be as described.
We have been around a long time, and will be around “long enough” to honour our guarantee of authenticity, quality and condition.
