Vintage refers to both the condition and origin of our furniture. Unless otherwise noted, our hand-selected inventory is comprised of original mid-century furniture, not contemporary re-editions or reproductions. When we use the term vintage condition, we mean that the piece has been cleaned and examined for structural integrity, but all elements fully reflect its age and use. Expect to see small cosmetic flaws and patina - all signs that the item has lived a long, full life.

Refinishing is a process used to restore wooden furniture. We resort to refinishing in the presence of larger issues than can't be dealt with through cleaning and polishing -- deep scratches, veneer damage, or discoloring due to age. The piece will be stripped of its old finish, repaired by a skilled tradesperson, and re-stained. Refinished pieces generally present as almost new.

Patina refers to a film or sheen that develops on organic materials over time that reflects their age and use. Patina can refer to the wear on leather, darkening or oxidization on metal, or a dimension and contrast to wood grain that appears over the years. We believe patina is a beautiful reflection of a piece’s history and often choose to leave it intact during restoration. However, if you have concerns about wear, we are happy to work with you to reupholster, polish, or refinish an item for a newer look.

Smaller items will be shipped via FedEx or UPS and packed to ensure they arrive to you exactly as they appear on our website. You will be updated with tracking information as soon as it is available. Larger items are shipped nationally via truck freight or white glove service and internationally via sea or air freight. Costs are determined by shipping weight (a calculation based on the dimensions and poundage of each item), fragility (since breakable materials like glass, marble, and ceramics require special packaging and handling), and distance to and accessibility of destination.

Please expect longer shipping times for furniture than most other items you buy online. We do our best to respond within 24 hours to your quote requests or shipment inquiries. From time of booking it can take up to two weeks for the freight company to process your shipment, arrange delivery logistics, and pick up from our showroom. Most national shipments have a lead time of roughly three to five weeks. International shipments can take anywhere from five to eight weeks for delivery.
