<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mangusbrother, post: 2216682, member: 15170&quot;]Hey all</p><p><br /></p><p>So i found this chair and it looked like it was a bit old.</p><p>From what i can see the it has passed through several owners . As can evidently be seen by the white cover hiding the purple seat cushion that was just stapled into the chair.</p><p>Only &quot;damage&quot; i could see is that the top part of the back is currenlty not that strongly attached and I could fix that, however once i started strpping away the horrible paintjob, I started to realised that underneath the white paint there is a coating of what looks like gold paint/foil. It seems to be mostly intact apart from some places, although when i&#039;m removing the paint from the engraved parts i am pulling some of the gold off too. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m wondering at this point how old the chair might be and if anyone can identify that. and depending on that I guess I&#039;d like to know what most likely the appearance of this chair is , and if that &quot;gold&quot; is actually gold so i can guess how to proceed. </p><p><br /></p><p>For context, this chair was found in Malta, so it&#039;s a fairly safe to assume a British style of furniture history.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]254789[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254790[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254791[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254792[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254793[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
