<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 43026, member: 78"]Hi Veronica,</p><p> That is a perfect set to sink you teeth into. It is nice but not a VALUBLE antique that needs to look like that. I often put a piece of the original fabric inside the new fabric just as a note for the future. The wood looks like it just needs a good cleaning and waxing. You do not have to fill in every little ding. It is a hundred years old. To do that would be like getting your great grandmother a face lift and lip enlargement. It just would not look right. The fabric choice is your call. Some people try and make it look like the original some people would put purple flame stitching. Whatever makes you happy.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
