Minor chips to the painted finish at base of shades Patina and wear such as but not limited to marks, scratches, fading, and discoloration may present more or less prominently to the naked eye, and can read differently under the lighting conditions on site. We usually leave our works in original condition and can make touch-ups or restoration to a customer's preference. Customers with a preference for a high level of restoration are encouraged to request additional images to confirm the piece meets expectations.
