<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 10272458, member: 23&quot;]In the U.S. you will find that folks want the patina.&nbsp; I&#039;ve watched Antique Roadshow in the US a lot and I have a couple of books by the Keno brothers.&nbsp; They&#039;ve said over and over again that the value of antiques here declines sharply when items are over-restored.&nbsp; On the other hand, Europeans seem to want things in &#039;original&#039; condition and love polishing and refinishing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
