Shipping is insured by Lloyd's London, and you have 28 days to change your mind and return the bought items (see our general selling conditions for more information about return methods).
Antique astronomical instruments have a large public of collectors, who appreciate their historical value and beauty. For example antique telescopes, antique orreries, armillary spheres and sundials, are items that many people love to collect, also for their symbolic meaning of “to look far” and to let us know the world around us.
