Collecting is both an art and a responsibility.

At Esteemed Antiques, we curate a diverse selection of antiques, tribal jewellery, historic corkscrews, and fine art works sourced through years of experience and trusted networks. Each item is individually evaluated and described with care.

Because many of our objects are rare, vintage, or antique, we encourage thoughtful purchasing. This page answers common questions about provenance, condition, shipping arrangements, insurance, and aftercare to ensure you feel confident when acquiring a piece from our collection.

Should you require further information about a specific item, we welcome direct enquiries.

No. Customs duties, import taxes, or tariffs imposed
by your country are the responsibility of the customer. These charges are
determined by local authorities and are outside our control.
Is shipping insurance included?

Shipping insurance is optional and may be requested prior to shipment. For items valued above €250, we strongly recommend adding insurance, as many of our pieces are rare or unique and may not be replaceable.

If insurance is requested, we will obtain a quotation and confirm the cost in writing before shipment.

condition, refunds will be processed to the original method of payment.
