  window or at a fair is the sign of membership of
  LAPADA, the Association of Art Antiques
  Dealers. Since its inception in 1974, LAPADAs
  membership has grown to over 550 members making
  it the largest association of professional art
  and antiques dealers in the United Kingdom with
  the majority of its membership in the UK.
  Membership is only open to those who meet the
  Associations requirements as to experience,
  quality of stock and knowledge of their subject.

  of a dispute, the Associations free Conciliation
  Service.

  whose Conditions of Sale protect them).

• When you purchase an item of jewellery from me
  you will be given a written invoice stating my

  of sale, brief description of the item(s)
  including the approximate date, any major
  restoration or alteration to the item since
  original manufacture and the price paid.
