“I have dealt with 1stdibs on many occasions with excellent outcomes on my purchases, but this time I purchased an Art Nouveau Porcelain Statue of a Woman from Euro Antiques located in Arles, France. When I received my beautiful statue I was totally blown away by the most incredible packaging ever!!! First, I was amazed at such a large box (the statue being only 12" tall) which piqued my curiosity; it being filled with peanuts. Next, I discovered a medium-sized (13 1/2" W x 10 3/4" D x 13 1/2" T) hard, plastic file /storage box encased in some type of semi-hard foam. On the inside, Euro Antiques had to my amazement, carved this foam to fit perfectly the interior of all sides and top of the box. A plethora of bubble wrap filled the inside...in the middle of this was my precious lady who was also covered in multiple layers of bubble wrap. Now, after traveling thousands of miles over land and sea, she is proudly displayed in Texas for all to admire thanks to Euro Antiques!!!”

What they keep saying
Three things, over and over
Read them all and the same three notes return, from 2018 to now.
It arrives intact
Foam carved to the object, gloves in the box, crates built for the voyage. Packing is the single most repeated subject in the whole record.
It is as described
Period, colour, condition and dimensions match the listing. Where a piece surprises, buyers say it looked better in the room than it did on screen.
Someone answers
Vivian is named by buyers in Georgia and Virginia. Questions, customs paperwork and delivery windows are handled by the same two people.
Ask first — we would rather answer than have you send it back
Returns are accepted within one day of delivery: the buyer pays shipping both ways and a 15% restocking fee, the same terms as the major marketplaces. Because that window is short, we would rather you ask first — request extra photographs, measurements or a condition report before you commit and we will send them the same day. If a piece arrives damaged, photograph it before unpacking further and contact us within 48 hours; we handle the freight claim directly.
Every piece carries a condition report — what is original, what has been restored, and what remains as found.
Call 305-975-0601, Monday to Friday, 9am–6pm ET. You will speak to Patrick or Vivian.
Freight is quoted per order, room of choice, fully insured. Everything is in stock in Miami — no customs for domestic buyers.
