While we make every effort to restore our furniture to its original state, most pieces date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. As a result, and despite restoration, signs of their vintage nature and previous life may still be visible. Light traces of restoration may remain visible, consistent with authentic vintage furniture\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e In some cases, minor adjustments may also have been made during the restoration process to ensure the piece remains functional and usable.
