A note about vintage

Patina & Light objects have lived before. Small marks, softened edges, surface variation, patina and signs of handling are part of that history. We photograph and describe condition carefully, but we do not expect an old object to look new — nor would we want it to.

Please review all photographs and condition notes before purchasing. Questions, additional photographs and measurements are always welcome.

We believe age should be understood, not erased.
