A note on antique condition

Every piece in our collection has lived a life before arriving with us; most are between fifty and several hundred years old. Their condition reflects that history. Patina, wear, minor imperfections, and the subtle traces of time are not flaws, but part of what makes each piece authentic, unique, and irreplaceable.

Where appropriate, we restore. Where a piece's history is best honored in its original state, we leave it untouched. Every condition decision is documented.
