Condition and authenticity guide
The condition of a vintage piece does not mean no signs of use. What matters is that signs are described correctly and photographed clearly.
What to look for
- Materials, joints, signatures, labels or marks.
- Restorations, scratches, stains, cracks or missing parts.
- Mismatches between title, photos and description.
A good description does not hide defects. It explains them so you can decide with confidence.
