ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Jane Waldie was the youngest daughter of George Waldie (c.1850-1826) and Ann Waldie, née Ormston. Her sister was Charlotte Anne Eaton, née Waldie (1788-1859; ODNB), travel writer and novelist. Jane Waldie grew up at Tynemouth and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. She learned to read early, and was precocious both in her general reading and her scrapbooking of poetical extracts. She was also powerfully attracted to painting and later studied under Alexander Nasmyth (1758-1840; ODNB). At sixteen, a visit to her brother and sister in Cornwall became a painting tour whose landscape studies extended to her return tour though South and North Wales.
With her sister Charlotte she visited Brussels in June 1815 and they soon found themselves in the path of the advancing French army. Evacuated to Antwerp, they were among the first to tour the battlefield at Waterloo after Napoleon’s defeat. Jane Waldie’s drawing of the battlefield was published in the company of Charlotte’s prose descriptions in the miscellany, The Battle of Waterloo … by a Near Observer, later in 1815. Jane Waldie, too, kept a journal of the tour; this, however, remained unpublished during her lifetime (extensive extracts were included in the Annual Biography and Obituary notice that appeared after her death).
The sisters made a second trip to the continent in 1816, visiting France and Switzerland before an extended stay in Italy. Late in 1817, Jane Waldie began treating with her sister’s publisher, John Murray, for the publication of her own journal of the Italian tour. The negotiations were protracted and the book did not appear until 1820, as Sketches Descriptive of Italy. In May 1818, she exhibited anonymously at Somerset House (using her initials only) a painting from the tour, The Temple of Paestum, assuring Murray that ‘when we get so far [in the production of Sketches] (if we can do) … you will see by my description of the place, that I have painted under the same impression’ (Letter, 18 May 1818).
On her return from Italy she met and became engaged to Captain George Augustus Watts of Darlington. They married the following year on 20 October 1819, and went to live at Langton-Grange, near Staindrop, in county Durham. She died on 6 July 1826 after an illness.

Last updated: 17th October 2024
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
