While we do our best to display photos that are as accurate as possible, our photos may or may not depict the absolute EXACT hue or color tone of our antiques due to the many variables in shooting, exporting, uploading and viewer monitor accuracy. Please ask about color and hue BEFORE buying, if this is a concern! We have a gallery showroom where all of our antiques are on display and we will gladly offer in person viewings of our antiques to any designers and buyers that need to 'put eyes' on our antiques. We welcome all visits to our gallery, by appointment. NOTE: In the interest of antique presentation and historical accuracy, we do not alter or modify our electrical or electronic antiques, with the exception of vintage light fixtures (which we DO correctly convert internally to modern electrical working household standards). Therefore some electrical items MAY or may not perform and operate electrically. We sell these as accurate display and collectible items. We suggest that these artifacts be used for display and not be operated. Please ask for more details on operability of our electrical antiques if operability is a concern. We are ALWAYS here to help and offer many options for the proper presentation of your Cinema Antiques. Thank You.
