As we define 'good condition' relative to the stated age of the piece, we would expect to see 'character marks' consistent with that age and could include nicks or dings on a piece of furniture, normal separation at joints in wood due to expansion and contraction over time, minor damage to veneer has been stabilized, locks functioning, drawers and doors open or slide easily. There may be minor restoration that is visible upon close inspection. Upholstered items may show wear consistent with age and use and may need to be reupholstered.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do my pieces ship?
All my pieces are blanket wrapped and sealed in plastic wrap. Extra protection is applied to delicate carved areas.
Who delivers my pieces?
Once your order is placed, I will begin searching for independent drivers with routes to your area. These are consolidated shippers and delivery can be expected within 14 days but usually sooner, depending on your distance from the gallery.
Are my pieces original antiques?
The short answer; no. All of my pieces are high end reproductions. They are handmade with all the old world techniques and materials; Solid beech wood, Real Marquetry and Veneer, Gold leaf, solid brass. Though my pieces can pass off as original, I believe in being forthright with my customers and providing them with all the necessary information needed to feel comfortable with your purchase. Don't be fooled by sellers claiming their pieces to be originals from Italy and France. True antiques would be valued at over 10x the price!
