2. Our items
Our collection consists of unique, used, vintage, antique or brocante furniture and objects. Many pieces show signs of use, patina, small imperfections or signs of age.
We try to photograph and describe every item as well as possible. Because these are often old and used objects, normal signs of use, colour differences, minor damage, discolouration, wear or restorations are part of the character of the item.
In doubt about the condition, size, colour or finish of an item? Please contact us beforehand. We are happy to send extra photos or information.
3. Prices and availability
Prices are subject to typing errors, mistakes and prior sale.
Because many items are unique, an item may already have been sold or reserved. An item is only definitively reserved or sold to you once we have confirmed this in writing.
Some items have a fixed price. Others are listed as “price on request”; in that case, please contact us for more information.
4. Reservations
A reservation is only valid once we have confirmed it in writing, for example by e-mail or WhatsApp.
We can reserve an item temporarily, but we are not obliged to hold an item for a long period without clear agreements about payment, collection or transport.
5. Payment
Payment is made in the way we agree together, for example by bank transfer or another agreed payment method.
An item remains the property of De Huiszwaluw until the full purchase price has been received.
6. Collection and viewing
Many items can be viewed or collected by appointment.
We like to work by appointment, so we can take our time for your question, viewing or advice.
7. Transport and delivery
Transport costs are not included as standard, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
Transport costs are calculated separately based on destination, size, weight and the nature of the item. We ship worldwide.
We are happy to help arrange transport or engage a carrier. If we share details with a carrier, we only share what is needed for the delivery.
Always check on receipt whether the item has arrived in good condition. Report visible damage as soon as possible after receipt, preferably with photos.
8. Returns and cooling-off period
If you buy an item as a consumer at a distance, for example by e-mail, telephone or WhatsApp without first viewing it with us, the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal may apply in many cases. This can also apply to second-hand or vintage products.
If you wish to use your cooling-off period, please contact us within 14 days of receipt at info@dehuiszwaluw.nl.
The item must be handled with care and, as far as reasonably possible, returned in the same condition. The costs and risk of return transport are borne by the buyer, unless otherwise agreed or otherwise required by law.
Please note: some exceptions may apply, for example for custom-made items or items specially adapted for you.
9. Purchase after viewing
If you have viewed an item with us and then buy it, the normal legal framework for a purchase applies. Because you were able to see and assess the item beforehand, this is usually not a distance sale.
If in doubt, please contact us beforehand.
10. Condition, warranty and complaints
We sell many used, vintage, antique and brocante items. Signs of use and age are part of this.
That does not mean you have no rights. An item must meet what you may reasonably expect based on the description, photos, price, age and condition.
Do you have a complaint, or has something gone wrong? Please contact us as soon as possible at info@dehuiszwaluw.nl. Where possible, include photos and a clear description. We will then look for a suitable solution together.
11. Dimensions, colour and photos
Dimensions are stated as carefully as possible, but small deviations may occur.
Colours may look different in photos due to lighting, screen settings or surroundings. If in doubt, ask for extra photos or information.
12. Use of photos
Photos and texts on this website belong to De Huiszwaluw, unless stated otherwise. You may not use, copy or distribute them without permission.
Photos that customers send us of items in their new home can only be used by us with their permission.
13. Liability
We do our best to keep all information on the website accurate and up to date. Nevertheless, errors or mistakes may occur.
De Huiszwaluw is not liable for damage caused by improper use, incorrect transport by third parties, normal wear, age-related defects or signs of use that are consistent with the nature of vintage, antique or used items.
14. Applicable law
These terms and agreements with De Huiszwaluw are governed by Dutch law.
15. Changes
These terms may be amended if our way of working changes. The most recent version is always on this page.
