At this time, we are unable to calculate the exact shipping costs in advance. For this reason, we will need to invoice you for these costs before dispatch. Furthermore, we cannot assume any guarantee that the dome will arrive intact and undamaged. Ideally, this museum piece — the corset display and the glass dome — should be collected from our location. However, we understand that this is not always possible. In such cases, UPS would be the only feasible option.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis exceptionally rare \u003cstrong\u003elate 19th‑century CB corset display\u003c\/strong\u003e, dating to \u003cstrong\u003eca. 1880\u003c\/strong\u003e, is preserved beneath a large \u003cstrong\u003eglass dome\u003c\/strong\u003e and represents one of the finest surviving examples of Victorian \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003ecorset advertising\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.
