[QUOTE="Tanya, post: 4176864, member: 8340"]It’s beautiful! I like to think our repairs will some day be looked back on as part of its history. I love seeing old repairs on antiques, often made when the item was an antique (then) but now the repair itself is antique (another 100 years). Someday your repair will be antique and part of the furniture’s history. I’m sure somewhere a museum curator is cringing at my opinion. : -)[/QUOTE]
