Holland & sons was one of the most prominent cabinet-making firms of the victorian era, renowned for producing high-quality furniture and furnishings. Based in london, the company was established in 1803 by stephen Taprell and William Holland. William Holland later became the sole proprietor, and the business grew significantly under his leadership.
Key features of Holland & Sons furniture:

They held a royal warrant and supplied furniture to queen victoria and prince albert, furnishing various royal residences, including osborne house and balmoral castle. Their association with royalty further cemented their reputation for quality and prestige.

Holland & Sons showcased their work at major exhibitions, including the great exhibition of 1851 and the international exhibition of 1862, where they won accolades for their designs and craftsmanship.

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.
