The criterion

Choose by condition and longevity.

For display and hanging, condition is evidence. Wear can reveal quality, use, and repair history, but it can also point to structural problems. The distinction matters more than a flawless surface.

What to look for

  • Wear that is honestly shown and consistent with the object’s age and material.
  • Structural soundness in the parts that carry weight, move, fasten, or receive handling.
  • A repair path that is practical, visible, and worth the cost.

Questions worth asking

  • Is this wear cosmetic, structural, or evidence of a useful repair?
  • Which part is most difficult or expensive to restore?
  • Will the object still perform its intended role after purchase?
