Description
A fabulous and quite rare pair of oak stools / side tables from HM The Queen's Carving School at Sandringham. Circa 1945.
Delivery is INCLUDED in the 'Buy-It-Now' price for all areas in MAINLAND UK via Parcelforce. Usually dispatched within three working days.
Overall they are in very good condition, and have been cleaned and waxed. Both are very sturdy in structure with no loose joints. There has been a repair to one of the legs at some point, the leg has a shake in the grain, a natural part of the wood which has a reduction in strength. I would say it has been knocked, and there has since been a dowel added to strengthen the leg. This is very sturdy and the stool is still very usable. Please refer to the last three photographs.
They could also work well as side tables.
The wood carving school at Sandringham Technical School achieved national acclaim, and the products were sold from the Sandringham Estate as well as from leading London department stores. Examples of work from the school remain on display at the Sandringham Estate. Sandringham House in Norfolk was purchased by Queen Victoria in 1862 and rebuilt by the Prince and Princess of Wales - later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra - in 1870. It has subsequently remained a favourite country retreat for the Royal Family.
A provenance delivery letter from the carving school accompanies the stools. It reads as follows:
HM The Queen's Carving School Sandringham 20/9/45

Please take time to read the delivery details below and make sure you are happy with them before buying the item. Thank you.
Delivery is a two-man service. The drivers will be happy to carry the item to a room of your choice on ground or first floor, providing it is safe and accessible. There is an additional charge of £12 per floor for delivery above the first floor. We use a third party furniture courier. It is an ethical non-express service, and delivery usually takes place within 10-14 days, however this can be longer depending on area and our courier’s route plans. Please allow 25 days. Please remember this is an ethical service, and as such it will not increase its carbon footprint in order to reach you earlier. Deliveries are made between Monday and Friday. The courier will provide a delivery time slot in advance of delivery. All items are insured against damage/breakage whilst in transit. As with most couriers, the company we use covers different parts of the country on set days as part of well established routes, and while they will try to accommodate any time/day restrictions, a degree of flexibility on the customer’s part is necessary. Please contact us if you can only make certain days, to see if we can accommodate your requirements.
Items are well packed and boxed if needed before despatch.
A re-delivery fee will apply if you have confirmed a delivery timeslot, and upon arrival at the property no-one is available to take the item. The re-delivery fee will also apply if you confirm a delivery timeslot and cancel within 48 hours of the delivery day. Please remove any tripping hazards, furniture, ornaments or wall fixtures that will constrict the path. Please note that the drivers are not allowed to remove their shoes due to health and safety reasons. It is the recipient's responsibility to protect floors and carpets. It is illegal for the courier to stop on a red-route: please liaise with the courier company to make alternative arrangements if needed. Any damage done to any property needs to be reported to the delivery team at the time of delivery and noted on their POD tablet. If you are moving home or do not require the item for a while, we are more than happy to store it for up to 4 weeks at no extra cost. Please let us know.
We pride ourselves on good communication skills and good customer service.
Please check and make sure it will fit through all access points: regrettably we will have to charge a re-delivery fee if the courier has to return it to us, and when you are refunded, this will also be minus the original delivery cost. A return delivery charge will be £120.
Delivery is to mainland England and Wales only.
Mainland Scotland and Ireland will cost extra, please contact us for a delivery quote. This will be via a different furniture courier.

Cancellations and Returns
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
We've extended our usual return period for the holidays. Any purchases made in December 2023 on gifting items can be returned up until 31 January 2024.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item’s Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason that they do not want to purchase the Goods before the Goods have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the customer’s specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the costs of delivery are non-refundable.

Can I return an item?
Consumers based in the UK and European Union can request to return the Goods on Vinterior up to 14 days after the Goods have been received. Once accepted, the buyer is in charge of the shipment and should organise it as soon as possible (except in the case of a return of faulty Goods).
To initiate a return, the Customer must click on Create a return on the order page on the Site. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer’s specific requirements.

In case of a return, the costs of delivery (i.e., outbound delivery costs when Goods are sent from the Vendor to a Customer) are non-refundable.
The Customer is responsible for organising the return of Goods and for paying delivery costs. Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt and refund the Customer. If an item is returned to the seller damaged, or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund and the seller may have to send it back to you (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged in transportation or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
In case of damage in transit for all items, Vinterior must be informed. Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf the Vendor with delivery company Proovia. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if it has been altered by the Customer in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
