About
An independent vintage house.
Nostvin is a small, independent vintage business located in Finland. We buy quietly, research carefully, and only offer objects we would be happy to keep ourselves.
Our shop changes gently, week to week. Many pieces are rare or hard to replace, and once an object is chosen, it is chosen.
How we describe objects
We photograph every object in daylight and describe its condition honestly. Age, use and previous ownership are part of what these things are. If we are not certain about a maker or a date, we say so. We use plain attribution language — attributed to, believed to be, maker unknown, period estimated — and we do not call an object authenticated unless a knowledgeable eye has confirmed it.
Where we send things
We ship to Finland, across the European Union, and to a growing list of destinations outside the EU. Because carrier services, sanctions and cultural-object rules change over time, delivery availability is confirmed at checkout for each object and country. Some pieces stay in Finland. That is by design.
Correspondence welcome
If you are looking for something specific, or if you have questions about an object, please write. Correspondence is part of the pleasure of this work.
