Description
This antique cake stand measures 18" x 18" x 5" and features a shield pattern around all four sides. It also has the original bevelled edge mirror. The story with the piece is that it came from one of the London Lyon's Tea Houses. It shows a gap in one of the corners, and a loose corner bracket holding the wooden base on the underside. It also shows wear to the silver plating, most likely from many years of cleaning (please see photos).
Policies, Returns & Shipping: As the items I stock are old, they often show signs of age and wear, most of which I describe in the listing, but it would not be possible for me to list all marks, age related dirt etc, be aware of this. The same is true for the materials used in the item. I do not claim to be an expert on any of the items I sell. Some items may be cancelled after purchase if they do not meet import requirements for your country. Also due to their age, food related items aren't recommended for storing or serving food/drink. Items may be marked as dispatched once the item is packaged. If you would like to know a return shipping estimate please get in touch. UK buyers have the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days of receiving the item. Returns must be sent tracked. Once your order has been returned in the same condition as it was sent, I will be able to issue you a full refund, less the amount you paid for postage. Any damage incurred during return shipping will incur a loss of value charge, depending on the item value. I am not responsible for paying the return costs of your order or any packaging costs. Should you wish to cancel an order, and require a form to complete, please get in touch, and I will send you one. It is up to the buyer to arrange a reputable courier/postal service. For larger/heavier items, the courier sometimes applies a fee for non collected and returned to sender items (UK £6, International £20), this fee will be deducted with a packaging fee if a refund is preferred. I can also resend the item for the same shipping cost plus the courier’s return to sender fee. Due to courier policies, fragile items (glass, stone, ceramic) are shipped at the buyers risk. I cannot refund if broken in transit. I take pride in my packaging and have shipped mirrors etc all over the world. For items made of breakables including glass and stone - I ship breakables frequently and I take great pride in my protective packaging. For UK Highlands, Channel Islands, and Northern Ireland customers, please expect additional shipping costs for items over 2kg and/or bigger than a Royal Mail small parcel, as the courier charges more for delivery to this area. For more information please get in touch before purchasing. Sourced and sold from the UK, sold according to UK law and any action will be taken through a UK court. I sometimes use recycled cardboard boxes for shipping, they are strong and sturdy, and help to reduce our carbon footprints. Due to the items being of varying ages, they are not recommended for children. By purchasing you agree to these terms.

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.
