Out-of-Stock Items

Due to high demand, some of our items go out of stock. However, we always have our production running and items are constantly coming back into stock.

If you order any of these items, the re-stocking date can be at any time soon. The product page will always display the maximum lead time for the item. Please note that you might receive your order much sooner than you expected.

Pre-order items

Some of our items, especially high-value ones, are coming back into stock less frequently. However, if an order is received, we will create it to order for you. These kinds of items might not be restocked unless there is an order placed on them. The maximum lead time is always displayed on the product page.

Our return policy lasts 14 days. If 14 days have gone by since the delivery of your purchase, unfortunately we can’t offer you a refund or exchange.

To be eligible for a refund, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging (outer and inner protections).

Please do not send your purchase back before we have reviewed your return case.

PRODUCT DETAILS

Many of our items can be completely customized due to the fact that they are 100% handmade.

We can customize mosaics and paintings for almost the same price as standard products.

However, customizing sculptures is very costly to manage, engineer, and execute according to customer expectations, which is why it usually makes sense for large statues only.

Some of our items are manufactured by our own artists on our premises, while others are distributed by us. Most of our products are handmade completely or partially, and the majority of them are made in Europe.

In winter, most outdoor statues need protection against freezing, especially around the crevices where the water gets trapped and expands (forming ice). Crevises needs salt treatment and covering.

However, the safest option is to cover the statue completely the same way they do with public statues outdoors.
