Disclaimers
We invite you to explore our collection of French antiques, each selected for its character, history, craftsmanship, and presence.
The following disclaimers apply to purchases made through The Provence Collection website.
General Disclaimer
All information presented on this website is provided in good faith.
We take care to describe, measure, and photograph each piece as accurately as possible. However, variations in lighting, screen settings, photography, scale, color perception, and the handmade or aged nature of antique objects may result in slight differences between the item as viewed online and as received.
We reserve the right to correct errors, update information, or clarify descriptions where necessary.
Authenticity and Condition
All items offered by The Provence Collection are antique, vintage, or rustic in nature unless expressly stated otherwise.
Signs of age, wear, patina, restoration, surface variation, irregularity, oxidation, crazing, dents, rubbing, old repairs, and previous use may be present. These characteristics are part of the nature and history of antique and vintage objects and are not considered defects when they are visible in the photographs or described in the listing.
Where known, we provide information regarding origin, age, maker, material, and condition. Where uncertainty exists, we aim to present the piece with clarity and transparency and avoid unsupported claims.
Clients are encouraged to review all photographs, descriptions, dimensions, and condition notes carefully before purchase. If additional detail or clarification is desired, please contact us before placing an order.
Intended Use
Unless expressly stated otherwise, items sold by The Provence Collection are offered as decorative, collectible, or historical objects.
Vintage and antique kitchenware, tableware, cookware, serving pieces, pottery, ceramics, copper, metalware, glassware, and related objects may not meet modern safety, food-use, electrical, structural, or regulatory standards.
Buyers are responsible for determining whether an item is suitable for any intended functional use after delivery.
Items intended for display, styling, collecting, or decorative use should be handled with appropriate care according to their age, material, condition, and construction.
Functional Use of Antique Kitchenware and Tableware
Some antique or vintage pieces may have been originally made for cooking, serving, storage, or domestic use. However, age, prior use, old repairs, glaze composition, metal composition, tinning condition, surface wear, crazing, oxidation, or other factors may affect suitability for modern use.
Unless a listing expressly states that an item has been assessed for a specific functional purpose, The Provence Collection does not guarantee that antique or vintage kitchenware, tableware, cookware, pottery, ceramics, copper, metalware, or serving pieces are suitable for food contact, cooking, drinking, heating, or other functional use.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Provence Collection shall not be held liable for damages, injuries, losses, misuse, improper handling, improper installation, improper display, functional use, or other consequences arising from the use, handling, storage, cleaning, display, or modification of any item after delivery.
Nothing in this disclaimer limits any statutory rights you may have as a consumer under applicable law.
A Considered Purchase
Each antique object carries the marks of time and use. These details are part of what gives the piece its individuality, history, and presence.
Your purchase reflects an understanding that antique and vintage objects are not uniform or new, but valued for their age, character, craftsmanship, and connection to the life they have already lived.

Additional legal notices, terms, privacy information, shipping policies, returns information, and related documents are available on our Legal Information page.
