Frequently asked questions
Short answers for common requests — authenticity, services, and timing.
Authenticity markers (maker’s marks, fasteners, finishes), mechanism condition, period-correct materials, and overall originality.
Email clear photos (front/side/back, close-ups of markings), plus notes on history. We’ll reply with next steps.
We don’t restore in-house, but we can recommend trusted specialists and outline conservation-first options.
We aim to reply within one business day. Complex cases may take longer for a careful review.
