Description

A c1930s watercolour of pre-war Farm Buildings by WH Browne

Presented in its original mount and frame, the vibrant colours are typical of the Art Deco period. It is unusual not to find them light faded - perhaps it was hung in a dark corridor!

The picture as a whole has some war and tear, although it could be hung and displayed in its current condition. Please refer to the photo's.

NB The photo's show white paint marks on the painting's glass. This will be carefully cleaned off as the picture is prepared for delivery to its new home.

Delivery - as this item is glazed a far higher standard of packing has to be employed to safely send the item. I no longer self pack such items, instead entrusting the task to professional packers/shippers. An overall item price discount of 10% is available if the item is collected.

Condition report:

In good vintage condition, with a few minor blemishes as expected for the age of the item. The paint splashes visible to the glass will be removed before delivery.

Cancellations

We offer free cancellations and full refund for orders cancelled before dispatching. View full policy.

Returns

We have a 14-day return guarantee for orders from individual sellers, within the UK and European Union. View full policy.

UK sales only, except for items that can be posted .
Any overseas purchaser of larger items must arrange their own collection from my premises, and shipment to the destination.

I offer FREE DELIVERY to mainland UK addresses, including London*, on some of my listings. I hope that this makes the whole purchase process more straightforward for you.

*Central London Congestion and city ULEZ charges may sometimes require a minor supplement, but see below **

Delivery is out-sourced in many cases, so each consignment has its own individual time scale. For London deliveries I use a local (to me) dealer colleague that make trips every 2 or 3 weeks. They like to call as early in the morning as possible. I may personally deliver items to addresses within a 2.5 hour drive of North Lincolnshire, and may consider longer journeys to less congested and rural areas.

I am happy to give a 10% discount on all goods collected - this may save you from £5 reaching right up to £300 based on current listings!

Delivery is made to your door. Further assistance may be available at the discretion of the Courier/Delivery person.

Deliveries are made in the expectation that, for heavy or bulky items, assistance will be available when the delivery is made, particularly when ground floor access is not available. This may mean just holding doors open, but it may mean assistance in lifting of the item. So, it is important to let me know of any potential difficulties! Where needed a 2nd delivery person will be involved, but this may occasionally mean a supplementary charge will be made, but if this is the case it will have been discussed and agreed with you beforehand.

**When free delivery is not available Payment will be by card as part of Vinterior's normal accounting procedure. Where a Congestion charge or similar is payable by the delivery vehicle (where multi-drops are involved any charge would be pro-rata'd according to value) it may be necessary to pay the small supplement directly to the courier. We will have discussed this prior to delivery. This would not include deliveries of smaller items via parcel post or similar.

IMPORTANT - When ordering large items such as Settees, sideboards, tables, and wardrobes please check that the items will come into your property through the intended door; that the space you intend to place it is big enough; and that you can get it around any corners, or up the stairs if that is your intention. Anything with longer legs can often be worked around corners...

Please check your item on arrival if you can. It will have been carefully packed, and where I am directly involved, carefully handled. I am confident that you will be delighted with your purchase!

Cancellations and Returns

Last updated: 24th March 2025

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.

However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.

To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.

Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.

Can I cancel an order?

There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.

If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.

Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.

Can I return an order?

We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.

The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).

You can return your order if...

It isn't what you expected

If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.

You change your mind

If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.

It's damaged in transit

In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.

If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.

What can't I return?

Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.

Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.

Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.

I'm eligible for a return. Now what?

To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.

How will I receive my refund?

Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.

All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
