David has been dealing in antiques and collectables since 1974, and Ann since 1989, so they have between them nearly 50 years' experience of trading in antiques & collectables. David and Ann stand behind the items they sell: they will always give a full refund where an acceptable standard is not met.
They also take particular care with their packing for export - something which is frequently commented on positively in their eBay feedback.
