ANTIQUE & VINTAGE ITEM NOTE — PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING

 

This is a pre-owned antique piece and has had a life and history before arriving at Edition Styles. Antique and vintage pieces are not new and should not be expected to have the appearance or condition of newly manufactured merchandise.

 

Due to the age and pre-owned nature of antique and vintage items, pieces may show signs of previous use, handling, display, cleaning, or storage. Depending on the item, this may include surface wear, scratches, scuffs, marks, discoloration, fading, patina, tarnishing, crazing, glaze variations, gilt or paint loss, small imperfections, manufacturing irregularities, and other characteristics consistent with age.

 

We carefully inspect, photograph, and describe our antique and vintage items to the best of our ability. Any significant or notable flaws observed during our inspection will be disclosed in the individual description and/or shown in the photographs. However, antique pieces are not new, and small or subtle signs of age may be present even when an item is described as being in beautiful, excellent, or good antique condition.

 

Descriptions such as “beautiful antique condition,” “excellent antique condition,” “good antique condition,” or “no major flaws noted” refer to the item’s condition relative to its age and do not mean that the piece is flawless, unused, or in new condition.

 

Please carefully review all photographs before purchasing. Photographs are considered an important part of the item’s condition description and are provided so you can examine the overall appearance, decoration, gilding, edges, handle, and other visible details.

 

Unless specifically identified and stated in the individual listing, we do not guarantee exact material composition, glaze composition, paint composition, or metallic/gold-tone or gilt content. Descriptive terminology is used to describe the appearance and characteristics of the piece and should not be interpreted as confirmation of precious-metal content or another specific material unless expressly stated and verified.

 

Any era or date provided is based on available maker information, markings, construction, decorative techniques, design, style, provenance, and/or our best assessment. Unless an exact production date is documented or specifically stated as confirmed, antique and vintage dating should be considered an estimate.

 

Measurements are taken by hand and are approximate, and slight variations may occur. Colors, finishes, painted decoration, gilding, and other details may appear somewhat different in person due to photography lighting, camera settings, editing, reflections, surrounding light, and individual screen/display settings.

 

Unless specifically stated otherwise, antique and vintage decorative pieces have not been independently tested for food safety, dishwasher safety, microwave safety, or lead content. This piece is being offered as a decorative/collectible vanity item.
