FAQs

Do you buy private collections?
Table of Contents Vintage Rentals has a full inventory & is not in the business of viewing or purchasing private collections of dinnerware.

Do you specialize in a special type of dinnerware, or in a specific era?
Table of Contents Vintage Rentals mostly keep an inventory of unique, beautiful patterned pieces from the 1930s though the 1970s. That said, we do have unusual pieces from other eras & a growing selection of colored glass!

We’re always on the hunt for new finds. Let us know what you’re interested in!

What condition is your stock in?
Please keep in mind that all items are vintage and some are even antique so they’ve lived a long life before gracing your table.
While they are still beautiful, they may have some scars or hints of their past.

Can I order items based on what I see on your website or showroom?
Vintage items in stock may differ from items featured in our photos. Our inventory changes regularly but we will do our best to meet your style needs.
Our specialty is to provide the colors and themes of your event or wedding, so we handpick every piece while we are packing.

Do you provide full sets of matched dinnerware?
All vintage items are mixed. There may be matching items from the same set in your arrangement but, for the most part, each piece is unique.

Depending on guest count, we may be able to do full place settings of different designs at the guest tables and charge a $25 curation fee to cover this cost.

What happens if we accidentally break an item?
We expect all items to be returned in the same condition in which they are received, but we do realize that accidents happen.
If a piece is damaged, lost or broken, you are responsible for the repair or replacement of the item. A detailed list of repair/replacement fees is available upon request.

Should we wash the items that we rent before returning?
In regards to dishes & flatware, you are welcome wash items before returning, but we are happy to do the washing for you for a fee.
Linens are a different story: Please do not attempt to clean our linens!  (But thank you for thinking about it.) All vintage linens should be returned unwashed as have our own methods for washing and treating vintage linens.
