Antique Art Nouveau-style Alabaster Bust of Woman

A condition report is a detailed description of an antique item’s current state. It notes any visible signs of age, wear, repairs or imperfections — such as scratches, chips, fading or patina — that reflect the piece’s history. In combination with the photos provided, condition reports are meant to provide full transparency, allowing you to understand not just the beauty of an item, but also its journey through time.

At Gathered in the Palms, we try to provide honest and thoughtful condition reports to ensure you know exactly what to expect, so you can welcome each piece into your home with confidence. If you need more pictures and video of the item before purchasing, please do not hesitate to contact us. It is the responsibility of the buyer to ask questions prior to purchase.

Owing to the singular nature of these items and the delicacy of their condition, all sales are final. All pieces offered at Gathered in the Palms are second-hand and preloved. As such, they may not be in perfect condition and are sold ‘as-is’. Please inspect all pictures and read the condition reports before purchasing. It is the responsibility of the buyer to ask questions prior to purchasing an item.

Given the nature of my full-time job, I ship within 7-14 business days. If you need an item sooner, please let me know and I can expedite shipping. I ship through UPS/USPS. Every item is packaged with care and fully insured.
