Condition Guide for Vintage Items
At Van Kappell, we take great care in curating timeless, one-of-a-kind pieces that bring beauty and significance to your rituals. Due to the vintage nature of many of our offerings, each item has its own story to tell, which may include signs of age or wear. Please review our condition guide below for more insight into what to expect:
Mint Condition:
The piece is in like-new condition, with little to no visible wear. Any signs of use are minimal, and the item is almost flawless.
Excellent Condition:
This item shows very minor signs of age or use, with some slight wear that is consistent with gentle handling or display. The overall beauty and functionality of the piece remain intact.
Good Condition:
The piece has visible signs of wear or aging, such as minor scratches, patina, or surface blemishes, all of which add to its vintage charm. These imperfections do not affect its use or overall appeal.
Fair Condition:
This item shows more noticeable signs of wear, including marks, fading, or small imperfections. While still usable and aesthetically pleasing, these pieces reflect their history more prominently.
Vintage Character:
Some items may feature more pronounced evidence of their age, including tarnish, chipped edges, or other distinct marks of their journey. These are not considered defects, but rather part of the unique character that makes vintage pieces so special.
Please carefully review the product photos and descriptions before purchasing, as each item is sold as-is and final sale.
