Condition
All our pieces are authentic, vintage and true to Mid-Century design and characteristics, with the large majority of pieces being produced between 1950-1999. We do not sell any replica pieces, new items, mass produced box store pieces or handmade items, unless otherwise noted.
This also means that our pieces have been around for around 50 or more years, and are not always in “like new” condition. Please be sure to view all photos for damages/imperfections and the listed Class + Condition Rating for more information on a piece. As a rule of thumb, we will not host any pieces with structural damage, major visible damage, or items that we wouldn’t keep in our own home.
Our Class Condition rating serves as a benchmark in describing the condition of the pieces that we curate on our platform. Although many pieces are refinished or restored to an extent, some retain their original character and history. Below you will find a general inquiry as to the condition of each class rating.
