How buying works

1

Find your object

Explore antiques and collectibles. Review the photographs, description and dealer policies, or ask a question.

2

Send an order request

Add items to your cart. Sign in at checkout. Items from different stores create separate dealer orders.

3

Arrange payment

The dealer confirms shipping, tax and payment instructions. Pay the dealer directly using the agreed method.

4

Receive your find

The dealer arranges shipping or collection. Follow recorded updates and continue the conversation in Messages.

Before you order

Look closely at photographs and condition notes. Ask your dealer about dimensions, provenance or anything else you need to know. An enquiry does not reserve the item.

Check the dealer’s final invoice and returns policy before paying. Shipping figures shown while browsing are estimates; arrange shipping or collection directly with the dealer.

Use Messages for questions and your order page for updates. World Class Antiques helps record the transaction; dealers handle payment and fulfilment.
