Description
I AM A LONG TIME TRUSTED EBAY POWER SELLER I have been dealing in antiques, art and collectibles for over 35 years and selling on eBay for over 7 years. I treat every customer like family. Please read my about me page, and check out my feedback. My listings all include vital information which you will find informative and cover most of your questions. Please take a minute to read everything. Thank You, Christian Chaffee (619) 299-3448. ITEM DESCRIPTION This is an antique Rainaud lamp dating between 1915-1925. This beautiful lamp is in outstanding condition, with all the original glass. Although Rainaud is not as well known as Handel, this is a real gem of a lamp. The scenic landscape is done in fired on enamels, which look good with the lamp turned on or off. The colors used are jewel like, and transluscent, so they come to life when light passes through the glass. The glass itself is similar to Handel's "cracked-ice", which difuses the direct light, and adds a mystical quality to the Arts & Crafts style landscape. There is a similar Rainaud lamp being offered on the internet now, but it has panels of solid colored stained glass, with no decoration, and the asking price is $1400. My lamp is so much better, that there is no comparison! If you have been looking for a really beautiful lamp, this one will make you smile for years to come, and will be loved by all who see it. This lamp will be shipped in two parcels, with the shade double boxed, and the base sent in a seperate parcel. ITEM MEASUREMENTS This measures 25 1/8" in height and 7 1/2" at the base. The shade is 6" in height and 20" in width. THIS ITEMS CONDITION REPORT This is in outstanding condition, as shown in the photos. ITEM WEIGHT Before being packed, the shade weighs 8 3/4 lbs. and the lamp base weighs 7 1/4 lbs. If you need shipping information, please see Shipping information below. SHIPPING INFORMATION I will be sending your item from San Diego, CA 92116. I normally send most smaller items under 2 pounds, by USPS Priority Mail with value insurance. If you want your item shipped by another method, please email me as soon as possible. Most items will be shipped via DHL, ground service. I can take large and heavy items to Greyhound which can ship these items fast and economically, but you will need to pick them up at your local Greyhound Package Express station- not available at all greyhound stations. I do charge $20 to take large items to Greyhound to cover the fuel and time required to do this. Please note that all shipping cost estimates are just that...estimates. I am normally accurate, but if your item is large or fragile, it may cost more to ship it than I had thought. You will be responsible to pay additional costs if necessary, and I will provide you with proof of the additional shipping costs, although this rarely happens. If I have over-charged you on shipping costs, I will include a refund check with your item. PACKING AND HANDLING CHARGES I never gouge my customers on handling or packing costs. I do charge a minimum of $1 for very small items, with the cost increasing depending on the materials required to pack. The larger and more fragile the item, the more it costs me to pack it properly. If an item is fragile, I pack it to survive the mailing to the best of my ability. On expensive fragile items, I will need to double box them. This will require additional labor and material costs. I would rather pack your item properly to make sure that the item arrives intact, than to later have to deal with a claim, which is a time consuming process. I care about the items I sell, and want them to arrive safely and in one piece. EVERY ITEM IS GUARANTEED TO BE AS DESCRIBED Every item I offer is in original, as-found condition, with only the normal wear that you would expect to occur from normal use and age. You are guaranteed that there are no repairs, and no alterations, and no damage unless I specifically mention them in my condition report above. I SELL ONLY GENUINE ORIGINAL ITEMS I do my very best to accurately represent each and every item I sell. I do not sell fakes or reproductions of any kind unless they are clearly described as such. I guarantee every item I sell to be authentic, and to be made in the time period for which its style was popular. I have been buying and selling all types of items since the late 1960's so I usually spot reproductions, fakes and alterations with ease. I welcome input from dealers and collectors in specialized areas, as it helps me to make sure my listings are accurate. RECEIVING YOUR EBAY INVOICE If you are the winning bidder, I will send you an eBay invoice with the total cost including shipping and insurance, packing and materials, and any additional related costs. I usually get this done by the third day after the auction. CUSTOMERS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES Please send payment in US dollars. ALL payments are held until payment clears before the item is shipped out. If you must pay me by Paypal, I ask that you email me in advance of bidding. I will also follow any and all special instructions you may have in regard to the shipping of your parcel. Payments received more than 10 days after I have sent you the shipping costs are considered late. PAYING WITH PAYPAL I normally do not accept payment by Paypal, as I work on a very small margin. If paying me by Paypal is absolutely necessary, please email me before you bid. CALIFORNIA STATE SALES TAX All California residents must pay 7 1/4- 7 3/4 % sales tax, or provide me with a valid resale number. I am sorry, but there are no exceptions to this law. PAYMENT FOR ITEMS I expect payment to arrive in 7 days from the date of your invoice. All bank checks, cashier’s checks and money orders are held 2 weeks before your item is scheduled to be shipped out.Most other money orders are shipped out immediately. SHIPPING OF ITEMS I do shipping at least once a week- usually Tuesday or Wednesday.I normally send small items USPS Priority Mail in the US. If the item is very large or very heavy it can be shipped using DHL, UPS or Greyhound bus lines, but you would need to pick up the item at your local Greyhound bus station which has package express services available. SHIPPING COST SAVINGS If you plan on bidding on multiple items, I will hold your item here until the end of the upcoming auction so I can ship both items together. I will pass on 100% of the savings to you in the form of reduced shipping costs which will show on the invoice for the additional item. PAYMENTS ON EXPENSIVE ITEMS If you need some time to pay for an expensive item, you must email me for approval prior to bidding. With prior approval, I will accept 1/3 down to be received in 7 days from invoice date, 1/3 to be received within 30 days from invoice date, and the remaining 1/3, (totaling the balance due) in no more than 60 days from invoice date. There will be a small (5% of the transaction total) charge for storage and administration. FEEDBACK I enjoy leaving you great feedback as soon as our transaction is complete to let everyone on eBay know you do business in a responsible way. I leave feedback after you have left me feedback. I feel that until you have left me good feedback, our transaction has not been completed. LATE FEES If you win an auction, I expect you to pay me quickly within the time frames shown above, or I may consider your payment late. If you do not pay for your item, I have an obligation to leave you negative feedback to warn other eBay members about your inability to do business in a responsible way. If you pay me late, I may at my discretion charge you an additional administrative fee and storage fee to cover monitoring your account and storing your item, so please do your part and I will do mine. REFUND AND RETURN POLICY If I misrepresent an item, such that it is worth less money due to an omission or error in my listing, you may return it for a full refund including all shipping costs so you do not lose a dime. An example of this would be undisclosed existing damage, like a chip. If the item description is in error, but it has no effect on it's monetary value, I may refuse to allow a refund. An example would be if the measurements were slightly off.... if I state a vase is 10 1/2 inches tall, and you discover it is 10 3/8 tall, a refund would be refused. If your item is damaged in shipping, the shipper is the cause and responsible to make the refund. This normally takes from 1 to 8 months depending on the shipper. You will need to save the box to show the shipper, as it is the proof that they are responsible. Shippers do not accept parcels packed in damaged boxes as a rule, so that any damage discovered is evidenced by damage to the box.
