ABOUT VINTAGE MERCURY GLASS SHADES
Vintage mercury glass reflective light shades are a type of lighting accessory that were popular during the late 19th century and early 20th century. Mercury glass, also known as silvered glass or mirror glass, is a double-walled glass that has a silvery reflective coating on the inside. It was initially developed as a less expensive alternative to silver mirrors.
These reflective light shades were commonly used in gas or oil lamps, chandeliers, and other lighting fixtures. The mercury glass coating on the inside of the shade gave it a unique and beautiful reflective quality, creating an enchanting and shimmering effect when the light was turned on. The shades were often designed with intricate patterns, etchings, or embossments that further enhanced their aesthetic appeal.
Mercury glass shades were particularly popular during the Victorian and Art Nouveau periods, adding a touch of elegance and luxury to interior spaces. The shades came in various shapes and sizes, including globes, bell-shaped, cone-shaped, or scalloped designs, allowing for different lighting effects and ambiance.
Overall, vintage mercury glass reflective light shades are sought after by collectors and enthusiasts for their historical significance, craftsmanship, and unique lighting effects. They continue to be valued as decorative pieces that add a touch of nostalgia and charm to vintage-inspired or period interior designs.

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.

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.

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.
