“Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand,” – The Velveteen Rabbit, Margery Williams.

At dfh, we believe that the most beautiful things are often imperfect. And as things age beauty doesn’t fade, it simply changes. This is why we love to restore aged pieces. Giving an old piece a facelift doesn’t alter its bones, but it can revive its beauty. Because, “Once you are Real you can’t become unreal again. It lasts for always,”- The Velveteen Rabbit, Margery Williams.
