Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What condition are your pieces in?

    Our items are in excellent vintage condition. They do not suffer from any serious structural damage, but they may show varying signs of age and wear inherent to older, used pieces. We don’t overstate obvious signs of this such as minor chips, abrasions, patinas or dents, but we will do our best to bring up any details that may be of concern when purchasing.

  • 2. Do you ship your merchandise? How much is shipping?

    We do not offer shipping, but if you don’t already have a preferred transport company, we can put you in touch with several insured companies that specialize in fine arts and vintage pieces. They will be able to give you quotes for transport.

  • 3. Do you accept returns or consignments?

    No. All sales are final.

  • 4. I’m not sure if a piece will be right for my space. Is there any way I can try it in the space before deciding to buy?

    Yes. We do allow certain pieces to be taken out on approval. We do not charge for this, but we require a credit card authorization to be held in the event that the piece is lost or damaged. Once we’ve received your billing information, you are clear to send your transport company to collect the piece. Returns of damaged merchandise will not be accepted.

  • 5. I’ve purchased some vintage lighting from your showroom. Do I need to have it rewired?

    No. All of our lighting is newly rewired by our in-house restoration experts.

  • 6. Is your lighting UL listed?

    No. If this is a requirement for your space, we can put you in touch with a UL certified electrician who can perform the service.

  • 7. I would like to purchase a ceiling fixture, but I need it to have a certain drop. Are you able to modify your fixtures?

    This depends on the piece, but in most cases, yes we can. For fixtures suspended by chain, we can provide you with a specified amount of stock chain. For fixtures suspended via a simple stem, we may be able to shorten or lengthen the drop to some degree, based on its construction. A service fee for the modification will apply.
