Cosas que debes saber
Qué estás comprando (importante)
Vendemos artículos antiguos y vintage. No son productos nuevos ni recién fabricados. Por su antigüedad y uso previo, pueden presentar señales de uso, marcas, rayas, pequeñas pérdidas o variaciones propias del paso del tiempo. Estas características forman parte de su naturaleza y no se consideran defectos. Recomendamos revisar las fotografías con atención, ya que muestran el estado real de la pieza. Si necesitas confirmar un detalle concreto antes de comprar, escríbenos.
Fotos y color
Las fotografías se realizan con luz artificial. Por este motivo, el color puede variar ligeramente según la pantalla y la iluminación. Si el color es determinante para ti, podemos enviarte fotos adicionales tomadas con luz natural para aproximarnos lo máximo posible al tono real.
Pátina y limpieza
Muchas piezas presentan pátina por el paso del tiempo. No la eliminamos, ya que es un proceso natural que puede tardar décadas en formarse y, en muchos casos, forma parte del valor estético y del carácter de la pieza.
Si decides limpiar o pulir, hazlo con calma y teniendo en cuenta el material. El comprador debe tomar esta decisión, porque una limpieza puede afectar a la apariencia, la autenticidad y, en algunos casos, al valor. Si necesitas indicaciones de limpieza según el material, contáctanos y te orientamos.
