[QUOTE="Chinoiserie, post: 10902118, member: 79460"]Thank you. I contacted a specialist about another piece I have and they quoted me £1800. Bit much for me :hungover: I could probably remove it myself eventually. It would just take a long time as it is so bitty. There is a very thin laminate of what looks like paper in between the two as if it has been stuck with paper pulp and it has set. That's all I can describe it as.
