FINE ANTIQUE INUIT NATIVE AMERICAN CARVED WOODEN & EMBROIDERED DOLL GREENLAND NR

I will be selling a good number of interesting antiques this week including Tribal art, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Islamic and European antiques. I will certainly be listing additional items on Friday 23rd so please come back for a look later. PLEASE NOTE: This auction is in GB Pounds Sterling.

This is a fine antique Inuit maternity doll from Greenland dating to c.1900. The detail in the stitchwork and the quality of the work on a miniature scale is very good. It came from the collection of the American collector John Woodall and is one of two (the other a maternity example) I am selling this week so please view my other sales.***Please note the stand is not included.

It is my policy not to end standard auctions early with a 'buy it now' and at the end of an auction I will not make second chance offers. Please read down the entire listing for Dimensions, Condition, Postage & Payment Details - most of the information you will need is here on this page but please get in touch if you don't find what you are looking for.

Postage & Packing

For your peace of mind and mine items will be sent fully insured. I will be posting WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY 7TH & 8TH MARCH so please make payment as early as possible, ideally within 3 working days. PLEASE be a little patient with the post - I will get them posted asap but I work on my own, have a large amount to post and I do pack carefully. I also post in the order that things are paid for.

Any delays by the postal services either at my end or abroad are rarely my fault. I always post out at the latest 3 working days after receiving cleared payment but sometimes an item is slowed up by a backlog of post or delayed whilst being processed through customs. To give you an idea it generally takes about 3-7 working days within Europe and 7 - 14 working days to the U.S. / rest of the world. If speed is of the essence then I can use a courier (Parcelforce) but prices for couriers start at around £30 / £40GBP for the very smallest object and VERY quickly escalate depending on size, weight and destination. I add on very little, often not enough to cover the packaging materials, so the price I quote really is as fair as possible.

UK: Special Delivery: £8.25 GBP.

Europe: Royal Mail Tracked & Signed / Signed: £11.15. This figure does not include £2.50 for insurance over £50 GBP. This is a signed for service which offers full or limited tracking (depending on your country).

World Zone 1 (U.S., Canada etc. please ask) Royal Mail Tracked & Signed: £13.45 GBP. This figure does not include £2.50 for insurance over £50 GBP. This is a signed for service which offers full or limited tracking (depending on your country) and insurance. Please do not ask me to falsify customs documents, thank you.

World Zone 2 (Australia & Asia etc. (please ask)) Royal Mail Signed For Airmail: £13.90 GBP. This figure does not include £2.50 for insurance over £50 GBP. This is a signed for service which offers full or limited tracking (depending on your country) and insurance. Please do not ask me to falsify customs documents, thank you.

***Any import duties or taxes applicable are payable by the Buyer. Please enquire with postage queries, requirements or any other questions you may have prior to bidding.***

Where possible I will of course combine shipping for multiple purchases (however if, for example, you win a walking stick and a box of some description this wouldn't be very practical!).

Payment Details (Important: Please Read)

UK: PayPal.

Rest Of The World: PayPal only.

In the event of a recorded/traceable and insured item going missing in the post I will do everything in my power (provide proof of postage and evidence of value, etc.) to assist in obtaining a full refund from the postal service involved.
