The Salvo Code

Salvo set up the Salvo Code in 1995. It is a simple voluntary code for dealers who buy and sell architectural antiques, antique garden ornament and reclaimed building materials. It is not a 'code of conduct' or a 'code of practice' both of which are legal UK definitions.

The Salvo Code aims to give customers greater confidence, in particular, that items which they buy have not been stolen or removed from protected historic buildings without permission.

Many dealers have already established a sensible buying procedure but the Salvo Code makes this more formal, understandable and obvious to the buying public.

In this way customers are given the choice of buying from relatively safe and responsible sources. Visit www.salvo.co.uk for more information.
