As this item is antique and more than 100 years old, there are signs of aging, small marks in the wood, tiny holes, uneven coloring in wood (fading) and some areas of cosmetic wood splitting however I believe this is what gives the piece it's charm and beauty.

The Japanese use crazing to add an artistic look to their pieces whereas antiques go through the natural aging process. Crazing is cracking in the surface of the plate due to use sometimes it's even and is called the crackle look and other times it is random.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI also welcome special requests that I can keep in mind when sourcing for my shop!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"French Vintage Trésor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547643957589,"sku":"FVT-1900LIBRARC-WOOD-LAGL","price":95.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/8833\/7493\/files\/Woodenclamps_26.jpg?v=1786015720","url":"https:\/\/frenchvintagetresor.com\/products\/1900s-library-c-clamp-french-antique-large-wooden-clamp-screw-press-vice-joinery-tool","provider":"FRENCH VINTAGE TRÉSOR ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
