Why are some items restored and some items are sold as found or in good, very good, or excellent original condition ?
A. The majority of our items are at least 80 years old, in some cases they are up to and over 200 years old. We do our best to buy merchandise that is in the best possible condition, original or restored. Sometimes we buy things that have had previous restoration and sometimes we offer them as found so that we can restore them after they are purchased, therefore the finish choices can be selected by the next owner of that object.
