Welcome to The Antiquer's Chest of Needful Things. Enjoy your browsing. We have a wide range of items including antique jewelry, silver plated and sterling beautiful items, vases, Limoge porcelain, and unusual gifts. We auction monthly selected items and we take in consigments of your unused treasures and place them up for auction. Some items may be out of stock at sometime, and if that is the case we will not accept your payment. You can contact us and place the item in back order and we will notify when the item will be available for you.

1- We have researched the best we could about the history of our items and it shows in the description of each items. We recommend to print it out and to keep it, with the time it would be interesting for other people to know the history behind the items you have acquired.

2- Handling: we charge a small handling fee of $ 3.00 because all our items come very carefully wrapped. At no charge we gift wrap items (upon previous request) and can be shipped to different address that the one on file (at your precious request). On top of the gift wrap we place bubble plastic and finally a wrap of paper. We make sure that the items arrive safely and in one piece to you because we have valued your time in attending to our auctions. The fee also covers insurance of the items at no extra cost for you.

3- We ship through USPS and the shipping charges are based on their shipping calculator for flat rate, small, medium and large packages. (medium $ 10.70; large $ 14.50) Special items will be arranged on each one basis. We combine for savings. Insurance is at no charge for the customer and it is calculated based on the final sale price of the item. (Up to $49.99, insurance is $1.75, $50.00 to $99.99 is $2.15, and an additional $.40 for each one hundred dollars thereafter) Item will be shipped within 7 days of payment receipt, usually faster.

3- SHIPPING FOR AUCTIONS: Every item in the auction catalog has the shipping charges. At all times the bidders know how much we change for USPS PRIORITY MAIL. When possible we combine to reduce shipping costs.
