Condition Report
Our grape hods come as found — structurally sound, with areas of rusting and paint chipping in places. They’ve been repainted or touched up at some point over the years, adding to their charm. A fantastic look with plenty decorative of appeal.
All of our items are genuine original pieces and as such will show signs of age and use. We believe these signs of wear — from patina to minor imperfections — are part of each item's story and character. While we restore, clean and check every piece to ensure it’s ready for many more years of use, we don't over-restore or attempt to erase its history. If you’d like more details about a specific item’s condition, feel free to get in touch — we’re always happy to help.
