Real Estate
English term or phrase: Original finishings
Toujours sur mon émission de déco canadienne...
Voici la phrase:

This 1700 square foot, character home features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, original finishings, hardwood floors and an unfinished basement.

Je vois à peu près ce que cela veut dire, mais je ne sais pas comment le tourner... En tout cas pas de manière littérale.

original finishings
finitions originales


Explanation:
"Original" can have 2 meanings in this context. cc's answer suggests that the finishings are the ones that were "originally" in the house (i.e. historically speaking).

For completeness, I give the alternative: "original" to mean of original design (i.e. novel, exclusive, etc.)
