Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We carefully evaluate every piece we offer and describe it as accurately and honestly as possible. Our listings distinguish antique, vintage, and later decorative pieces and disclose what we know about age, origin, materials, and construction.

We assess construction methods, woods, hardware, joinery, design, wear, provenance when available, and comparable documented examples. Dates and attributions reflect our informed professional opinion, and we note uncertainty rather than overstate a claim.

Antiques naturally show age, use, surface variation, shrinkage, repairs, and other evidence of their history. We provide detailed photographs and plainly describe notable condition issues so you can make an informed decision.

Many period pieces have received repairs or restoration during their long lives. When known or observed, restoration, replaced elements, refinishing, and other alterations are disclosed in the individual listing.

Yes. Our product photographs show the exact one-of-a-kind item you will receive, including relevant details and condition. Some listings also include an editorial image showing the piece in a styled interior to help you envision it in a room. The surrounding setting is illustrative, so please refer to the individual product photographs and listed dimensions for the item’s precise appearance, scale, and condition.

Most furniture is delivered by experienced furniture carriers using blanket-wrap or white-glove service. The carrier contacts you to arrange a delivery window and brings the piece into your home; access limitations and any special placement needs should be discussed before purchase.

Delivery cost depends on the item, destination, access, and service required. Contact us with the item and your ZIP code, or use our shipping quote form, and we will provide a quote before you purchase.

Timing varies by destination and carrier route. Furniture delivery commonly takes several weeks, while smaller shippable items may arrive sooner. We will share the best available estimate and keep you informed as delivery is coordinated.
