About Us
Royal House Antiques is a privately owned family business, originally established in Wimbledon, SW19, and now based in Pulborough, West Sussex (RH20).
We specialise in sourcing and restoring the finest luxury antique leather seating, alongside a carefully curated collection of antiques and decorative pieces dating from the 16th through to the 20th century.
In addition to antiques, we regularly stock pieces from renowned designers and luxury brands, including Fritz Hansen, Ralph Lauren, Roberto Cavalli, Charles & Ray Eames, Vitra, David Linley, Rolex, Tiffany & Co, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and many others.
Payment
We accept payment via any major credit or debit card
We kindly request that all purchases are paid for within 48 hours and collected within 7 working days, alternatively I am happy to provide delivery
Paid items may be stored free of charge for up to 14 days. After this period, a storage fee of £20 per week will apply. We also offer long-term storage at highly competitive rates and are happy to accommodate extended storage arrangements when agreed prior to purchase.
Please note that if purchased items remain uncollected for more than three months and no storage arrangements have been made, ownership of the item and any monies paid may be forfeited.
Condition
Please study the detailed photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the item's description and condition report.
We encourage all prospective buyers to ask any questions before purchasing, as all items are sold as seen and as described.
Royal House Antiques cannot accept responsibility for assumptions or interpretations made independently by buyers. If there is any aspect of the listing that requires clarification, we are always happy to assist.
As with all genuine antiques, vintage, and period pieces, signs of age and use should be expected. Antique leather furniture, in particular, will naturally display patina, creasing, and wear consistent with its age.
To preserve antique leather, we recommend annual waxing to maintain suppleness and prevent moisture loss. Hand-dyed leather should also be kept away from prolonged direct sunlight, as exposure may cause fading and drying over time.
Delivery & Collection
All items are available for collection by appointment from our Pulborough warehouse (RH20 1DE) after a cleared payment has been received
Alternatively, we can arrange delivery throughout the United Kingdom, including Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, for an additional charge.
For a delivery quotation, please contact us with your postcode and the item reference. Delivery costs vary according to size, weight, and distance.
As noted above, the delivery fee displayed in the listing is indicative only and applies to locations within the M25. For international shipments, the quoted amount covers limited areas within local Europe only. This quote also covers a ground floor one man service meaning if the piece is large, it will require someone on site to help the courier unload, if you need a second person or the piece to go upstairs its not a problem but naturally affects the delivery fee
Multiple-item purchases often qualify for substantial delivery discounts, and we will be pleased to provide a combined quotation.
Courier Services – Large Items
For larger items that cannot be sent by standard parcel services, we work with a network of trusted professional couriers.
For European deliveries, we use a specialist furniture transport company offering reliable and competitively priced services. For worldwide shipping, we work with experienced international freight providers capable of arranging:
Air freight (crated) – approximately 7–21 days after crating
Sea freight (soft-packed or crated) – approximately 30–60 days
Please note that these timescales are estimates only and may be affected by customs procedures, airline schedules, shipping availability, and port operations.
For larger deliveries, assistance may be required when unloading. Delivery quotations are generally based on this assumption. If assistance is unavailable, please advise us in advance, as a two-person delivery team may be required and additional charges may apply.
Standard delivery is to the ground floor only. Deliveries involving stairs, upper floors, or restricted access can be arranged, with courier charges typically ranging from £10–£20 per flight of stairs, per person, per item. No additional charges usually apply where a suitable working lift is available.
All courier charges are payable directly to the courier company. The delivery contract exists between the purchaser and the chosen courier.
Customers are welcome to arrange their own courier once cleared payment has been received. Independent couriers must provide at least 24 hours' notice prior to collection. Unless otherwise agreed, all collections must take place within 14 working days of purchase.
Import Duty & Customs
Many countries impose import duties and taxes on incoming goods. However, due to the age, category, and materials of many of our items, exemptions often apply.
For European deliveries, quotations typically include all customs documentation and clearance charges, ensuring there are no unexpected costs upon arrival.
For destinations outside Europe, including the United States, customs duties or clearance fees may occasionally be payable. While the majority of shipments pass through customs without issue, any duties, taxes, or import-related charges remain the sole responsibility of the purchaser as the importer of record.
These charges cannot be covered by Royal House Antiques or the shipping company and cannot be offset through retrospective discounts.
Returns
Royal House Antiques offers a straightforward returns policy where an item is found to be materially different from its description.
Should any issue arise, we will provide a full refund once the item has been returned and inspected within 14 days of receipt. Where appropriate, we are also happy to discuss a mutually agreeable solution.
Please note that we do not operate a "sale on approval" service. Purchases cannot be returned simply because the item is no longer wanted, does not suit a particular setting, or because of a change of mind.
The transportation of antiques and fine furniture involves considerable time, expense, and logistical planning. We therefore strongly encourage all buyers to ask any questions they may have before purchasing.
If you remain uncertain, we recommend purchasing from a local retailer or gallery that may be able to provide you with a more suitable option for your needs.
We pride ourselves on providing detailed descriptions, comprehensive photography, and prompt communication to ensure complete confidence in every purchase.
