<p>[QUOTE="franrose, post: 1182135, member: 12120"]I am moving on to try to sell another item, this one a Baker Co. reproduction Hepplewhite chest of drawers, probably from the early 1920s. It was in my great grandmother’s house, although I can’t remember which room it was in. The handles, I notice, are completely black. Was that intentional on this style, or are they heavily tarnished? Should I polish them before putting an ad together? We have other similar pieces of furniture (“Georgian style” dark mahogany) with bright brass. Thanks for your thoughts, <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Fran</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]213328[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
