Question 1

Will Antique Items Show Signs of Age and Wear?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Most antique and vintage items will display signs of age, use, and wear accumulated over many years. These marks form part of their character and are often an important indication of authenticity.

We aim to describe condition as accurately as possible and highlight any significant defects or repairs. However, it is not always practical to document every minor mark, scratch, or imperfection.

Question 2

Are Your Pieces Restored?

Accepted Answer

Some pieces may have undergone sympathetic restoration to ensure their continued use, stability, and appearance.

Wherever possible, original materials and period-appropriate methods are retained. When replacement components are required, we often seek antique or reclaimed parts where suitable.

In certain circumstances, modern materials may be used where they offer greater durability or a more reliable long-term repair.

Our aim is always to preserve the character and integrity of the piece rather than make it appear newly manufactured.

Question 3

Can You Provide Additional Condition Photos?

Accepted Answer

Certainly.

We are happy to provide additional photographs, close-up images, or video walk-throughs of any item. Live video calls can also be arranged by appointment.
