IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ANTIQUE OBJECTS
Please note that the objects offered in our online shop are antique items and, unless otherwise stated, are unique pieces. Many of the objects are more than 100 years old and therefore naturally show signs of age, use, wear and previous handling.
Such age-related characteristics, including minor scratches, abrasions, small chips, discoloration, patina, irregularities or other traces of use, are part of the history and individual character.
The general condition of each item is also stated in the object description.
Please examine the photographs and object description carefully before purchasing.
Signs of age and use that are described, clearly visible in the photographs or reasonably to be expected considering the age and nature of the object do not in themselves constitute grounds for complaint.
Please also note that the color, surface, texture and overall appearance of an object may differ to a certain degree from its appearance in the photographs. Such variations may result from lighting conditions, photography, image processing and the individual display settings of your device or screen.
