<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 304950, member: 2844&quot;]Phaik, that is normal dust, highly respectable imo.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie76" alt=":pompous:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Someone on the forum once called it &#039;frosting&#039;.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>On the shrine in Roxy&#039;s pictures it looks like grime, stuck to the surface. It is a &#039;trick of the trade&#039; that I used to see on the cargo loads of freshly made &#039;antique&#039; furniture that came here from China 20-30 yrs ago. A lot of that furniture was very nice, but not antique.</p><p>Btw, do you see the difference in quality of the carving on your family&#039;s &#039;frosted&#039; furniture, and the shrine in Roxy&#039;s photos?</p><p><br /></p><p>These are two panels salvaged from a Peranakan house on Java ca 1930. The bigger one is 19th century, the small one could be older. They were outside, so there is weathering, but no rough edges, no grime, just natural wear. The black line on the side of the bigger one is paint.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]99994[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]99995[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
