Why should I
buy from hollandarts.com?
Here
is MY guarantee: "I guarantee the authenticity, age, and condition of
everything that I sell. If you are unhappy for any reason, return the item in its original
condition within 7 days for a full refund, minus shipping costs."
********
Here
is Ebay's guarantee: "We are just a venue." Caveat Emptor!!
Regarding the CONDITION of the desk
pieces:
Most desk pieces are about 100 years old. Collectors vary widely as to what
signs of age they are willing to accept. Most pieces will show some signs of use--maybe an
ink stain or some minor wear to the patina. Tiffany's parsimonious gold plating was easily
worn away necessitating regilding of some pieces using basically the same gold and same
process as he used. I can usually tell the difference. Please inquire if this is important
to you. Currently there is no standardized grading system used by dealers. And ebay
sellers confuse the issue further describing almost every item as
"breathtaking", "stunning" & "fabulous". I rarely offer
pieces that I would not proudly show in my own collection. And, unlike ebay, if you are
unhappy for any reason, you may return the item for a full refund. SEE DETAILS

*FOOTNOTE BELOW REGARDING SAFETY:
Tiffany lamps contained the
best electrical elements--sockets, cords and plugs--available at their time of
manufacture. Rarely do I see or hear of a lamp shorting out except from the
occasional exposed cord that has lost its insulation from misuse or poor
storage.
Every lamp that I sell has
been plugged in, lighted with appropriate wattage bulbs, (desk lamps: 40w, single socket
floor lamps: 60w, multi-socket lamps: 25-40w per socket), switched on and off numerous
times, and left lighted for at least four hours. This is the extent of my safety and
functionality test. I am not an electrician.
Remember, all Tiffany lamps
are 80-100+ years old, and things wear out eventually. It is good insurance to have a
qualified electrician check your lamp and for you to follow common sense procedures, like
using low wattage bulbs which do not produce as much resistance (heat) in the wiring and
using GFIC outlets or adapters to break the circuit if there is a short.
