Each Trove piece is vintage or antique and bears the marks of its past life. Our condition guide is designed to offer transparency and clarity, reflecting both the visual appearance and structural integrity of each object. Signs of age and use are not flaws, but part of an object’s history. All items are carefully assessed and described so you know exactly what to expect before purchase.
