A Note on Antique Objects
Unlike new products, antique objects often carry traces of their previous life. Small scratches, fading, patina, foxing, crazing, or natural wear may be present depending on the material and age of the piece.
We describe visible condition details as clearly as possible on each product page and recommend reviewing all photos before purchase.
