<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 390307, member: 5066"]Yeah, that hurts value, no doubt, as your chair has been stripped. Windsors in america were mostly all painted because they were built with different species of wood & a coat of paint hid that & gave the chair a harmonious look. Unfortunately, during the 1960s-70s stripping painted furniture became a fetish in america as everyone wanted to see "real" wood, no matter if the piece was designed to be painted or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
