Dear Valued Customer,

To help protect the health and safety of our customers and our team during the recent spread of viruses going around, we have taken additional precautions while preparing your order.

Our goal is to assure your health, safety, and complete satisfaction with the quality of the products you receive.

We appreciate your trust and hope you enjoy your piece.

Every item offered by Viridian Eclection is individually curated and one of a kind. Because many pieces are vintage or antique, they may display age-appropriate chips, crazing, scratches, repairs, patina, finish variation, or other imperfections. These characteristics are part of each item’s story, provenance, authenticity, and historical character.

We preserve our pieces in their most original state whenever possible. We intentionally avoid unnecessary restoration or replacement of original materials because originality is often one of the most important contributors to historical significance and collectible value.

This item is exceptionally delicate and is intended solely for display or decorative purposes. It is not designed for everyday household use, functional service, or repeated handling.

Age, original materials, and historic construction may increase sensitivity to handling. Please preserve it thoughtfully so it may be appreciated for years to come.

This notice describes Viridian Eclection’s general care recommendations and pre-shipment testing practices. It is not an electrical safety certification, code-compliance inspection, or substitute for evaluation by a licensed electrician.

This artwork has intentionally not been re-backed. The original backing remains in place because it forms part of the historical integrity and provenance of the piece. Removing or replacing it may diminish the artwork’s collectible, historical, and market value.

Any replacement is solely at the purchaser’s discretion. Viridian Eclection strongly recommends leaving the original backing intact. If conservation work ever makes replacement necessary, preserve the original art dealer label or stamp and securely retain it with the painting so its documented history is not lost.

We strongly recommend against reframing this artwork or removing the canvas from its original frame. The paint surface already shows age-appropriate lifting, cracking, and flaking. Additional handling, vibration, pressure, or flexing may cause further and irreversible paint loss.

The preferred protective method is to place the entire framed artwork, without disturbing the canvas or original frame, inside a custom shadow box fitted with museum-grade UV-filtering glass or acrylic. This creates a protective enclosure while preserving the original presentation.

The surface of an antique — its color, depth, and the soft evidence of use — is patina earned through time. It is among the most important contributors to a piece’s historical significance and value, and once removed it cannot be recovered. Care for antique furniture is therefore gentle and infrequent by design.

Original pulls, escutcheons, and mounts are part of the piece’s documented history. We recommend leaving brass unpolished; the mellow surface is original and collectors prefer it. If a brighter finish is wanted, remove hardware before polishing so cleaner never touches the wood.

For structural repairs, veneer loss, or finish concerns, consult a qualified furniture conservator before any intervention. We are glad to recommend one.

By signing below, the purchaser authorizes Viridian Eclection to book the freight service identified above and acknowledges that the freight amount, carrier, delivery estimate, and shipment information have been reviewed and approved.

Next step: Return the completed agreement and remit the approved freight charge. Viridian Eclection will then coordinate carrier pickup and provide tracking information when available.

Rates and schedules remain subject to carrier availability until the shipment is booked. If the carrier revises the quote before booking, Viridian Eclection will request approval before proceeding with a materially different charge.

All delivery dates, windows, and transit times are estimates supplied by the freight carrier. They may change due to routing, weather, road conditions, service interruptions, destination access, appointment availability, labor constraints, acts of government, or other circumstances outside Viridian Eclection’s direct control.

Once the shipment has been picked up and accepted by the carrier, custody, routing, appointment scheduling, and delivery timing are controlled by the carrier. Viridian Eclection cannot guarantee the carrier’s actual arrival date or time and is not responsible for delays occurring after pickup. We will provide available tracking information and reasonably assist with carrier communication when needed.

Any service described as guaranteed reflects the carrier’s commitment under its own tariff and terms. It is not a separate delivery guarantee issued by Viridian Eclection. Any claim for a carrier service failure remains subject to the carrier’s rules, exclusions, and claim procedures.

The purchaser or receiving party must inspect the shipment before signing the delivery receipt. Note any visible damage, punctures, crushing, missing pieces, broken wrapping, shifted freight, or pallet damage directly on the carrier’s delivery receipt. When damage is visible, photographs should be taken before the shipment is moved or unpacked.

If concealed damage is discovered after unpacking, retain the item, pallet, crate, carton, padding, wrapping, straps, and all other packaging. Photograph the shipment as delivered, all packaging layers, the damaged area, and the full item. Notify Viridian Eclection and the carrier promptly. Carrier claim deadlines and documentation requirements apply, and failure to preserve packaging or document damage may affect claim eligibility.

By approving the shipment and completing payment, the purchaser accepts the approved freight service and the carrier, inspection, damage-claim, and merchandise terms stated in this agreement.

The purchaser or authorized agent is invited to inspect each item fully before it leaves the Eclection. By signing below, the receiving party confirms that the item’s condition has been reviewed and accepted at the time of release, including age-appropriate wear, patina, repairs, and variations consistent with its history.

I have inspected and accepted the item(s) listed above in their present condition and take full custody upon loading.

This is to certify that the piece described herein was individually curated for the Eclection, its condition examined, documented, and photographed at the time of sale.
