The
Adam style (or Adamesque and "Style of the Brothers Adam") is an
18th-century neoclassical style of interior design and architecture, as
practised by Scottish architect William Adam and his sons, of whom Robert
(1728–1792) and James (1732–1794) were the most widely known.
The
Adam brothers advocated an integrated style for architecture and interiors,
with walls, ceilings, fireplaces, furniture, fixtures, fittings and carpets all
being designed by the Adams as a single uniform scheme. Commonly and mistakenly
known as "Adams Style", the proper term for this style of
architecture and furniture is the "Style of the Adam Brothers"
The
Adam style found its niche from the late 1760s in upper-class and middle-class
residences in 18th-century England, Scotland, Russia (where it was introduced
by Scottish architect Charles Cameron), and post-Revolutionary War United
States (where it became known as Federal style and took on a variation of its
own). The style was superseded from around 1795 onwards by the Regency style
and the French Empire style.

vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have

for international deliveries the amount listed covers local Europe only so
parts of Belgium and France
Please be

courier offers a substantial discount on the second and third item, for
international shipping please view the below information
COURIER,
LARGE ITEMS ONLY THAT CAN’T BE POSTED
We can
arrange delivery nationwide, mostly with our nominated couriers, for Europe we
use one reasonably priced professional company that we trust, for the rest of
the world we use international shippers that can send any size item crated via
air freight within 7-14 days after crating or soft packed and container shipped
via sea freight within 30-60 days. The time frames outlined are guides only,
non-domestic shipping is almost entirely governed by the airlines, sea freight
loading times and custom clearances
Whomever
delivers will always require help on the larger items to unload, the price you
will be quoted will always be based on this assumption, if this is not
possible, please let us know as it will affect the price to send a two-person
team
Delivery is
to the ground floor only, again if you need help upstairs or in flats etc
that's absolutely not a problem, the couriers charge £10-£20 per flight per man
per item, if you have a working elevator then naturally there’s no additional
fee
All courier
fees are paid by yourself directly to the courier company, the contract for
delivery is between yourselves the client and whichever courier you chose from
those available I’m happy to accommodate your own courier after a cleared
payment has been received, they need to book in a collection time with at least
24 hours notice, all collections must be made within 14 working days of the
close of the sale unless agreed by prior arrangement
IMPORT DUTY
Most
countries charge some kind of import duty however almost all of our items won’t
incur any charges as the items are exempt from tax due to the age and materials
used
For European
deliveries the price you will be quoted will include all clearance
documentation and any customs charges so there won’t be any additional fees
For
international deliveries such as the United States there can be some import
duty to pay and or a clearance fee, I would estimate that 99% of all deliveries
clear customs without being stopped for either
All duties
are the responsibility of the purchaser who is the importer, they can’t be
covered by the seller or shipping agent or factored in with additional
retrospective discounts
RETURNS
Royal House
Antiques offers a no quibble return policy if the item is not as described, if
there are any issues with the piece you will be refunded in full once the item
has been returned and inspected within 14 days, alternatively if there is a
small issue, we can discuss finding a mutual resolution that makes all parties
happy
We don’t
offer a sale on approval service which means you can purchase the item, have it
delivered and if you simply don’t like it, return it, this comes under change
of mind or doesn’t fit. There is a lot of time, money and work involved in
transporting goods around the world, the costs incurred can be vast so my
advice would be if you are unsure on a piece please ask as many questions as
you like to make sure you understand everything before you buy, if you are
still unsure then please either arrange a viewing in person or if that’s not possible
then don’t buy from an online retailer, perhaps look for a local gallery
instead
