Disclaimers

Antique and vintage items are often characterized by their unique histories and the stories they carry. These items, typically defined as at least 100 years old for antiques and between 20 to 99 years old for vintage pieces, are often sought after for their aesthetic appeal and historical significance. However, it is essential to understand that these items are not new and are usually in preloved condition.

The condition of antique and vintage items can vary significantly. Factors such as age, usage, and previous ownership can affect the overall appearance and functionality of these pieces. It is common for such items to exhibit signs of wear, including scratches, fading, or minor repairs. These characteristics contribute to their charm and authenticity, making them desirable to collectors and enthusiasts alike.

When purchasing antique and vintage items, it is crucial to consider the implications of their condition. For instance, a 19th-century miniature portrait may display some wear due to its age, yet this wear can enhance its historical value. Collectors often appreciate the narrative that accompanies each piece, as it provides context and depth to the item’s significance.

Any notable or excessive signs of wear will be disclosed in item descriptions. While we strive to provide thorough and complete descriptions, we recommend that you review all images carefully and contact us for more information if you have any questions or concerns prior to purchase.

Due to the nature of these preloved items, returns will not be accepted. All sales are final. We appreciate your understanding!
