UNIQUE ANTIC – REFUND & RETURNS POLICY

Last updated: August 2026

1. Overview

Due to the unique, high-value, and often one-of-a-kind nature of the fine art, antiques, and collectibles offered through Unique Antic, our refund and returns policy differs from standard retail practice. Please read this policy carefully before completing any purchase, auction bid, or consignment sale.

2. Auction Purchases

All winning bids placed in live, timed, or online auctions are final and binding. Auction purchases are sold "as described" based on the condition reports, provenance research, and expert assessments provided at the time of sale, and are generally non-refundable except as set out in Section 4 (Authenticity Guarantee) below.

3. Marketplace Purchases

Items purchased directly through the Unique Antic marketplace may be eligible for return within 14 days of confirmed delivery, provided the item is returned in its original condition, packaging, and with all accompanying documentation and certificates of authenticity. Bespoke, commissioned, or made-to-order items are not eligible for return.

4. Authenticity Guarantee

If an item is later determined, based on generally accepted scholarly methods, not to be authentic as described at the time of sale, the buyer may be entitled to a refund of the purchase price, subject to the terms of our Authenticity Guarantee and within the timeframe specified in the applicable sale documentation. Claims must be submitted in writing with supporting expert evidence.

5. Condition and Damage Claims

Buyers are encouraged to inspect items carefully upon receipt. Any claims regarding transit damage or discrepancies from the published condition report must be submitted in writing, with photographic evidence, within 48 hours of confirmed delivery.

6. Non-Returnable Items

The following are not eligible for return or refund: items sold at live or timed auction (except under Section 4); consigned items sold on behalf of a third party; items that have been altered, restored, or modified after delivery; and items explicitly marked as final sale.

7. Refund Process

Approved refunds will be issued to the original method of payment within 30 days of receiving the returned item in its original condition. Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs unless the return is due to an authenticity issue confirmed under Section 4, or a verified error on our part.

8. Consignment Sales

Refunds relating to items sold on consignment are subject to the terms of the individual Consignment Agreement between Unique Antic and the consignor, and may involve coordination between the buyer, Unique Antic, and the consignor.

9. How to Request a Return or Refund

To initiate a return or refund request, please contact our Global Desk with your order number, a description of the issue, and supporting documentation where applicable.
