GOOD THINGS TO KNOW
Frequently asked questions
Vintage pieces come with histories, quirks, and questions. Here are the answers most collectors look for first.
Before your find comes home
Are all pieces vintage or antique?
Each listing explains what is known about the piece, including its approximate age when that can be determined. Some finds may be newer pieces chosen for their unusual design or craftsmanship; these will always be identified clearly.
What condition should I expect?
Age-related wear is part of the appeal of vintage and antique objects. Photographs and descriptions are intended to show condition honestly, including notable marks, repairs, losses, or imperfections. Please review the complete listing before purchasing.
Will an item be restocked?
Most finds are one of a kind, so once a piece is sold it is unlikely to return. Similar treasures may appear, but exact repeats are rare.
How are measurements provided?
Measurements are taken by hand and should be considered approximate. For wearable pieces and objects where scale matters, please compare the listed dimensions with an item you already own.
When will my order ship?
Orders ship within 2 business days of purchase. This is the dispatch timeframe, not a delivery guarantee. Delivery time depends on the carrier service and destination. You will receive tracking when your parcel is on its way.
How are fragile finds packed?
Orders are packed with care appropriate to the material, age, and fragility of the piece. Whenever practical, clean reusable packing materials are used without compromising protection.
Can I ask a question before purchasing?
Absolutely. Use the contact page and include the item name or link so the piece can be identified quickly. Questions are always welcome.
