Furniture and Furnishings:

Electrical Appliances:
All lights and electrics are rewired by a qualified electrician to meet current regulation, if necessary, before being sold. UK plugs are different from the rest of the world. All electrical items with plugs ordered with destination outside the UK will be sent without plug if its original plug was from UK. It will be your responsibility to employ a qualified electrician for this job. We recommend that any electrical items that are to be permanently connected to a mains supply (e.g. wall lights or pendant lights) should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Brass or Nickel Products:
Brass and nickel products might age and create naturally a patina coat.
Pure brass will naturally mellow and darken with age. Small 'casting marks' may be visible due to the authentic manufacturing process.
Cleaning your brass or nickel product
Dust your product with a soft dry cloth. Use only certified brass and nickel cleaning products if needed. Usually our products are polished before we photographed them but some of our products might not be polished before we photograph them, therefore we might ask you if you wish us to polish the item before posting. Polished photographed products will naturally mellow and is up to you to instruct us if you wish us to polish it before posting the item. We will always provide a small bottle with a certified cleaning product. Do not use chemicals such as hairspray or cosmetics near the product as they may damage the brass or nickel finish.
Moving your lamp:
Never lift a lamp by its shade. Instead, use one hand to support the base and the other to support the shade. Ensure that the cable is not tangled up before plugging in.
