Welcome to our website

We’ve been trading as a bricks and mortar shop now since 1999. In that time we’ve learnt a thing or two about how to look after our customers and keep them happy!

We hope that we will be able to offer you the same level of service online, as we do in our shops. With that in mind, our terms and conditions are here to hopefully clarify the relationship between you (the customer), and us (attic.) Be assured of our best intentions at all times!

Alistair & Deborah Burnside - attic.

Vintage / Antique items disclaimer

By definition, all our vintage/antique products have had a previous life. Some of our pieces have been fully restored by us, or in most cases they have either, been reconditioned, refinished or repainted. We have made every effort with our product descriptions and photography to highlight any significant idiosyncrasies that you as a consumer, should know about, before you commit to purchase a particular item. With that in mind, due to the hand finished nature of most of these pieces, knocks, scratches dents and general signs of wear and tear will not be considered faults or damage. All Vintage/Antique pieces are sold as seen, and cannot be returned. In certain circumstances, in the case of undisclosed or unforeseen faults or damage, if we are informed within 28 days of purchase - and only if the item is deemed to be faulty or not as described - we will offer a credit note on return of the item on an agreed date.
