<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 11747427, member: 4654&quot;]Firstly, don&#039;t be embarrassed, you don&#039;t know the cost of the full restoration yet. By the sounds of it there aren&#039;t many restorers in the US that can do the work (I suspect there are you just need to ask around) I&#039;m not a professional restorer, I only do my own pieces but I wouldn&#039;t be nervous about taking on your work so I would think any professional restorer in the US could easily do it. I would rule out US restorers before sending such a heavy box to the UK, I&#039;m sure any top end antique shop in the US has someone they trust, if you ask I&#039;m sure they will put you in touch. It&#039;s almost Boulle work in restoration terms, I didn&#039;t post pics of the finished box but it was fully done just after these pics were taken. <a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/boulle-box-restoration-before-and-after-wall.85249/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/boulle-box-restoration-before-and-after-wall.85249/">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/boulle-box-restoration-before-and-after-wall.85249/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
