Our expertise remains focused on British Silver, Silver Plate, and the occasional continental piece that deserves saving for its beauty or utility. Our key skills are in fabric renewal, consolidating the tired and re-purposing the redundant and obsolete. More recently we have been approached to appraise and accept commissions from individual clients; for partial or full regeneration of their valued items. So please feel free to contact us if you have something that you would like to save. Equally, if you are looking for an unusual or special gift and cannot find what you want, please give us a call as we are often working on something out of the ordinary, but not yet listed.

About Us

<h2>DELIVERIES</h2> Postage is included for purchases being delivered in the UK. Larkin &amp; Gallow go to great lengths to ensure that items sold are carefully hand packed to a high standard. Our policy is to use next day delivery wherever possible within mainland UK to guarantee delivery, tracking and provide full insurance. If the item is too large, heavy or fragile for the Royal Mail Service in the UK then an alternative fully insured carrier will be used, this may take longer than 24 hours to arrive. Shipping costs will be calculated for items requiring overseas delivery on a case-by-case basis. We respectfully suggest you work with us prior to purchase to make suitable delivery arrangements prior to item(s) being purchased for delivery outside of the UK. <h2>ONLINE SALES RETURNS POLICY</h2> 1: Online, mail and phone sales: UK Customers purchasing from Larkin &amp; Gallow online or by telephone have the legal right (within 14 days of receiving the goods), to cancel an order even if the goods aren’t faulty. On receipt of written notice that the customer wishes to cancel, (the cancellation date) Larkin &amp; Gallow will acknowledge the request, and confirm the address to where the return is to be dispatched. It is the customers responsibility to arrange and pay for the return of the item if it is not faulty. If the item is faulty, Larkin &amp; Gallow will reimburse postal costs.

The customer may still reject any alternative offered. 3: Items returned by someone other than the buyer: Larkin &amp; Gallow only accept returns from the person who bought the item. <h2>GENERAL:</h2> Larkin &amp; Gallow work hard to meet customer expectations and comply with the Distance Selling Regulations and/or the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
