Frequently Asked Questions

Kasa Petra specializes in carefully selected antique and heritage pieces chosen for their craftsmanship, character, material, and history. Because every antique has lived a life before arriving at Kasa Petra, natural signs of age and use are part of what makes each piece distinctive.

The photographs are intended to represent each piece as accurately as possible. Antique objects naturally feature variations in color, texture, patina, wear, markings, repairs, and other signs of age. These characteristics are not considered imperfections—they are part of the individuality and history of the piece.

Our collection celebrates objects that have developed character over time. Depending on the piece, you may notice aged surfaces, weathering, worn finishes, small chips, marks, oxidation, natural cracks, historic repairs, or other evidence of previous use. Please review the product photographs and description carefully for details specific to each item.

Many pieces in the Kasa Petra collection are individually sourced antiques and may be available only once. If you discover something you love, we recommend securing it while it is available, as an identical replacement may not be possible to source.

Kasa Petra curates objects with an emphasis on heritage, craftsmanship, material, and provenance. Sourcing information available for an individual piece—including its origin, period, material, technique, or known history—is included in the product details whenever available.

Please refer to the individual product page for all currently documented information. If you need additional details before purchasing, contact the Kasa Petra team with the product name or link and we will provide any additional information available for that piece.

Dimensions are provided to help you understand the scale of each object. Because many antiques are handmade, aged, or irregular in form, measurements may vary slightly depending on where the piece is measured. For installations or spaces where precise dimensions are critical, please contact us before purchasing.

Unless a product is specifically described as suitable for functional food or water use, antique pottery and vessels should be considered decorative objects. Age, historic glazing, porosity, previous use, and unknown restoration materials can affect their suitability for modern functional use.

Suitability depends on the individual material, age, construction, climate, and existing condition of the piece. Some objects may work beautifully in protected outdoor settings, while others require indoor or covered placement. Contact us before placing an antique outdoors if you would like guidance for a specific piece.

Antiques should generally be treated gently and with minimal intervention. Avoid harsh household cleaners, abrasive materials, excessive moisture, and prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight unless appropriate for the material. For valuable or particularly delicate pieces, professional conservation advice is recommended.

Shipping requirements depend on the size, weight, material, fragility, and destination of the piece. Larger furniture, stone objects, pottery, and other delicate antiques may require specialized handling or freight arrangements. Shipping information specific to your purchase will be provided during the ordering process or by the Kasa Petra team.

International shipping availability can depend on the individual piece and destination. Please contact us with the product you are interested in and your delivery location so the appropriate shipping options can be confirmed.
