<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 10337882, member: 4654&quot;]Ideally I would restore the box but it&#039;s just too far gone, once the sadeli (micro mosaics) go it&#039;s beyond repair. It was an easy decision to buy the box 1) the hinges, lock, feet and other parts <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> were all in good nick but the greatest reason for buying was the fantastic Mysore carved panel on top. This was a large box (10x7x4.4in) so the panel would be quite large as well making it a good candidate for a wall hanging. I wont try and make it look like an original antique, I&#039;ll put a note on the back saying it was taken off a box lid. It has been a challenge though, the panel is badly warped and won&#039;t sit flat, I&#039;ve tried using steam and gentle pressure and got it to sit flat to glue it to a board but came back the next day to a split <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /> and then the glue failed and it started to curl up like a Pringle. I&#039;ve got it gluing again and this time I&#039;m going to leave it for a week and hope it holds this time. [ATTACH=full]520054[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
