Condition report:
This primitive handmade side chair is in remarkable vintage condition, showcasing the authentic wear and rich patina that only time can bestow. The dark, warm finish highlights the natural wood grain and adds depth to its character. You'll find charming irregularities consistent with its handmade nature, including slight variations in the carving and natural knots in the wood, all of which contribute to its unique appeal. There are minor surface scratches, shallow dents, and subtle areas of discoloration that speak to its age and journey, adding to its rustic charm rather than detracting from it. The construction remains solid and sturdy, a testament to its enduring quality. Any imperfections are considered part of its individual history and enhance its primitive, folk art aesthetic, making it a truly one-of-a-kind piece.

Additional Delivery Info from Seller
I usually ship items within 1 to 3 working days of receiving an order. However if there is a bank holiday in Switzerland that is diffent to the UK or some other delay I will inform the buyer.
Please message me your phone number and email address for the shipping documents.
Swiss Post is the shipping provider that I use, it is the best and most economical option in Switzerland. All packages are sent with a tracking number. For smaller boxes if you would like a slightly cheaper price (it usually works out at about £5) I can ship without a tracking number but you will need to contact me directly to let me know. If there is no tracking number and the parcel gets lost we will not be able to find it or get reimbursed so I strongly recommend keeping the tracking number. If your parcel is lost or stolen without a tracking number I am not responsible.
All items over the value of £135 will be taxed by the Customs in Great Britain and Customs Duties are the responsibility of the buyer.
As much as possible I reuse packaging for all my shipments. Selling Vintage means that all the items in my shop have a different shape and shipping requirement. I have a very diverse stock of clean boxes in different sizes to accommodate this. I usually double box delicate items and for this I use the strongest boxes which are the right size for the job. Some of these boxes may have labels and writing on the outside, but the aim is to get the item to you as safely as possible and recycle as much as possible so reusing boxes makes sense.
