Final price, shipping extra. As a rule the German margin scheme applies (§ 25a UStG), so VAT is not shown separately; for individual pieces an invoice with VAT is possible. Please ask beforehand.

About this piece
A border of burl veneer runs around this central field. The body is covered in walnut burl on every side, with a swirling grain in brown and gold, and the joints between the veneer fields are cleanly made. The original metal lock works, and its small key has survived.
Missing areas of veneer have been replaced, and the casket was then cleaned and hand-polished. It takes jewellery or letters. The casket is 15 cm high (5.9 in), 37 cm wide (14.6 in) and 27 cm deep (10.6 in).
Questions about this piece
How is the piece delivered?
Shipping within Germany and worldwide. For delicate pieces we work with specialist furniture carriers. Shipping costs depend on size, weight and destination; we quote them to you bindingly in advance.
Can I view the piece before buying?
Yes, any time by appointment at our showroom at Elisabethenstraße 58 in Darmstadt, Germany. Call us on +49 6151 997032.
Will I receive an invoice?
Of course. Antiques are generally invoiced under the German margin scheme (§ 25a UStG), and separate VAT cannot legally be shown on these. In individual cases (e.g. pieces purchased from a business seller) an invoice with VAT is possible. Please contact us in advance if you need this.
Does the 14-day right of withdrawal apply to this piece?
Yes, if you buy it as a consumer by e-mail, phone or letter: 14 days from receipt of the item. For purchases in our shop there is no statutory right of withdrawal. For consumers living in the USA, the return policy in section 18 of our terms applies instead.
