<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 397565, member: 6444&quot;]I keep paint original if it is original. I love old painted surfaces and have several old chests and a couple Windsors with original paint and would never strip them. But if the paint is not original (and the original paint is not lurking underneath), or if it has already been stripped, I would leave the wood surface and not repaint myself. (Cluttered&#039;s chair does look like old varnish to me as well, in which case varnish could be the original finish - by the end of 19th century not much factory furniture was being painted anymore).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
