Sometimes the best hardware is the kind you barely notice.

These vintage French Natural upholstery nails were manufactured by The Turner & Seymour Manufacturing Company of Torrington, Connecticut, and have remained in their original factory box for decades before finding their way to Junket. 

Unlike polished brass or brightly plated finishes, French Natural was designed to blend rather than shout—a warm, understated finish that lets the craftsmanship of the piece take center stage. A soft, understated golden tone complements wood, leather, canvas, and upholstery without overwhelming the piece, equally at home on antique furniture, mid-century projects, or contemporary work inspired by traditional materials.

Each order includes one dozen (12) vintage new old stock upholstery nails, carefully selected from this original stock and hand-counted here at Junket.

    This is climate-competent commerce, and we talk a bit more about each of these strategies on our 'official' shipping policy page:

    The Fine Print 
  • Proactive Satisfaction + Refunds

    We have adopted a 'generally generous' approach to fulfilling many of our product listings, as sending a wee bit extra can avoid costly errors & 'fix it' shipments (besides, we find most folks appreciate the occasional freebie).

    .

    That said, if you would prefer to avoid the extras, we will gladly rightsize or downsize your order on request (product price would remain the same because more labor + less product = wash). If you prefer this option, please include a detailed order note to specify the quantity you wish to recieve (i.e. 'please send precise count of 7 for XYZ product').

    .

    As a rule, we discourage returns - but we also don't abide crappy customer experiences. To initiate issue resolution in the event that we miss the boat with your order (gaps happen!), head to our refund policy page (linked here - and at the bottom of any page) to get started.
