Last Updated: May 19, 2025 5:00PM EST
Welcome to Consolatio. By accessing this website and/or purchasing artwork from us, you agree to be bound by the following Terms of Service. Please read these terms carefully before using our website or placing an order.
Throughout these Terms, “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Consolatio, and “you” refers to the customer, collector, or website visitor.
1. Overview
This website and all artwork, products, services, and content offered through it are operated by Consolatio. By visiting our site or purchasing from us, you engage in our services and agree to these Terms of Service, including any additional policies referenced herein.
We reserve the right to update, modify, or replace any part of these Terms at any time without prior notice.
2. Handmade & One-of-a-Kind Artwork
All artwork created by Consolatio is handmade and one-of-a-kind. Due to the organic and handcrafted nature of preserved floral sculptures and mixed-media artwork:
- No two pieces will ever be identical.
- Slight asymmetry, texture differences, natural imperfections, or variations in color may occur.
- Preserved flowers and organic materials may naturally evolve, fade, or age over time.
- Colors may appear differently depending on lighting and screen settings.
These characteristics are considered part of the individuality and artistic nature of each piece and are not considered defects.
3. Custom Commissions
Custom commissions are created collaboratively and may require direct communication regarding design, dimensions, shipping requirements, and production timelines.
By purchasing a commission, you acknowledge that:
- Production timelines may vary depending on complexity and material availability.
- Final artwork may differ slightly from sketches, inspiration images, or mockups.
- Certain sculptural or floral elements may require alternative assembly methods for safe shipping.
- In some cases, flowers or decorative elements may not be permanently fused to the structure unless upgraded custom packaging is approved by the client.
Clients will always be informed of significant design or shipping considerations before final production.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, commission deposits and custom work payments are non-refundable once production has begun.
4. Pricing & Payments
All prices are listed in USD unless otherwise stated.
We reserve the right to:
- Modify pricing at any time
- Correct pricing errors
- Refuse or cancel orders at our discretion
Partial payment may be required before production or shipment begins.
International customers are responsible for any customs fees, import duties, taxes, or additional carrier charges required by their country.
5. Shipping & Processing
Each artwork varies in fragility, size, weight, and structure. All packaging and shipping methods are customized specifically for each piece.
Processing and shipping timelines may vary depending on:
- Customization
- Complexity
- Scale
- Packaging requirements
- Material curing or preservation timelines
Most orders will ship within 30 days of creation or completed payment. Larger or highly customized commissions may require additional preparation time and may ship up to 30 days after payment.
All orders include tracking information once shipped.
Please review our Shipping Policy for additional details regarding packaging, delivery timelines, and shipping limitations.
6. Returns, Repairs & Restoration
We want each collector to feel confident in their purchase while understanding the delicate nature of preserved floral artwork.

Repairs After 30 Days
