About Us
PLEASE NOTE: To search for FRAMES, please enter the word Frames in the search box at the top, and ALL the frames will come up, regardless of category/subcategory.
I will ship International on some items -- please email me BEFORE purchase as there are some countries I do not ship to. ALL International MUST ship USPS or comparable Express/Global/Priority Mail, Insured with Delivery confirmation/tracking number and Customs Forms--NO exceptions. Minimum International shipping cost usually $30.00; email me for a more accurate quote. ALL items paid via PayPal MUST ship to a confirmed address.
IF YOU SEARCH for an ITEM You Viewed Previously that is NOT Shown, PLEASE email me--I also do shows and sell through other venues so that item may still be AVAILABLE for sale and I will be happy to re-list it for you.
I have been selling Antiques, specializing in American and European Frames, since 1968. I have had shops from Oyster Bay to the Hamptons on Long Island, New York, and participated in almost 1000 antiques Shows, up and down the East Coast. I have also worked for 2 Antique Auction Galleries on Long Island.
New York State Buyers MUST pay Sales Tax unless you provide a valid NYS Certificate of Authority (resale certificate--ST-120 form mailed to me). No exceptions.
All dimensions/weights listed are approximate, and measured from widest points, unless otherwise stated. I prefer to state, for example, "ca. 1890" rather than "Victorian"--too ambiguous a time frame. Most of the items I sell are Antiques--100+ years old, and will have some wear from use--please read descriptions carefully and view ALL photos--I happily answer any/all questions concerning condition, measurements, etc. I aim for accuracy and guarantee what I sell, but no item is absolutely perfect, and neither am I!
Please note that many of the frames I sell have a Dore [Gold-Plated] finish. Care must be taken--do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners/polishes or you may take the gold finish off. If you have any questions about how to open/clean/care for frames, just email me. Nearly all of the Easel (Tabletop) Frames have their original glass; if not, I try to use 19th Century glass where possible. I sometimes use silicone glue to keep the glass from sliding in the frame--it is non-reactive and easily removed. There may be imperfections/minor scratches on the glass due to age.
I look forward to meeting my new Ruby Lane customers----feel free to email me anytime!
