<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 427706, member: 5066&quot;]No, that is the original decoration, may have been some touch up where dings &amp; stuff happened. Yes, earliest painted piece i have is a W &amp; M blanket chest, 1710 or so, it has touch up too &amp; coated with a varnish/shellac which i have been thinking about removing. I cleaned a small area where blue arrow is just to see how things would go a year or so ago. The bottom drawer area is quite grungy from that clear coat. Chest has it&#039;s original brass pulls, probably Hadley Mass area.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]149748[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
