Please note: For all antiques and collectibles, we perform only minimal cleaning — usually just a light wipe with a paper towel and water. We do this intentionally to preserve the item’s original condition and to avoid any risk of damage, staining, or loss of paint/color.
Since many of these pieces are such unique and amazing finds, we don’t want to take the chance of accidentally ruining something through over-cleaning. Some items may benefit from more detailed cleaning, but we leave that to the buyer’s discretion and preference.
Thank you for your understanding, and good luck with your bidding!
