[QUOTE="antidiem, post: 4004058, member: 30"]Thanks INH, I couldn't remember Ghopper's avatar name! :) Indeed be gentle. Are you thinking of restoring / refinishing this yourself? I ask, because it's a fine piece that appears to be finished with old shellac, which is difficult at best to "match" but not impossible. If it were mine and I were young and strong again, I would probably strip it and replace the small divots of veneer losses, then refinish it with modern day shellac. Let's wait to hear what a furniture expert recommends... ;)[/QUOTE]
