Condition of art pieces
- As is typical of works of art of unknown authorship or date of production, there are often no official records of the time of their creation, making it difficult to provide absolute guarantees of authenticity. Information on the artist (or presumed artist), period, media, etc. of the items listed in our online store is for reference only, and we do not guarantee the accuracy or truthfulness of such information. Please be sure to make your purchase decisions based on your own responsibility and judgment.
- We try to state on each product page any damage that may reduce the value of the work as much as possible, but due to the nature of the products, there may be minor scratches or stains that cannot be described.
- Information regarding "repair history" or "changes over time" may be incomplete.
- Please note that for framed paintings, the frame is an accessory that is not included in the price of the item. When you purchase a work, the frame will be provided free of charge as an accessory along with the painting, but the condition of the frame will not be covered by any compensation. Old frames or highly decorative frames are particularly prone to damage, and there is a possibility that parts may be broken, stained, or missing.
Please be sure to fully understand the nature of these works of art, taking the above into consideration, before considering a purchase.
We do not accept returns for reasons of customer convenience after purchase. However, you can check the actual product before purchasing at our physical store in Nihonbashi, Tokyo.
