<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 427714, member: 6444&quot;]I know the Pook piece has its original paint, but it isn&#039;t clear from the picture you posted of the Pook piece what they did to make it look so vibrant. If found in the wild, the paint would very likely look more like the piece I posted a picture of. So that is what I wonder - how do you care for an old piece of painted furniture to make the paint look as good as the Pook piece?</p><p><br /></p><p>In the case of yours, you have a history so you know it has a varnish/shellac coating. The varnish protects the paint, so I guess you are able to clean yours with a damp cloth or even wax it the same as any other piece of varnished furniture. If you remove that varnish, though, then you&#039;ll have the same problem I have. Namely, how can I clean the painted pieces I have without damaging the paint. Do you have any pieces that have not been varnished - in which case how do you maintain them?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
