    I was very happy to find this item! I bought my first one years at a museum in New York. Since I was in need of a second, I went back to the museum who no longer sold the item. Found it with this seller -- it came very carefully wrapped and in a timely manner. Very pleased! The item was as described and looked wonderful.

    There was a problem with the description in that the seller did not see some damage. When I pointed it out, the seller immediately offered a full refund and I returned the item. The seller was very professional and handled this situation well. I would gladly buy from this person again. Everyone makes mistakes - it's how they deal with it that makes a difference.
