<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 10254203, member: 4654&quot;]Thank you for thinking of me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Unfortunately the Sadeli on the slope is impossible to restore, this is why Sadeli that&#039;s fully intact on a box is worth so much more, even if it&#039;s lifting it can be reattached using an iron but once it&#039;s gone it&#039;s gone. You can&#039;t easily lift Sadeli off a donor box either, before my hands became useless (shaky and wonder around uncontrollably) I did restore Sadeli ie put back missing parts but now there&#039;s no chance. I don&#039;t think you will find a restorer in the world who can. The slope it&#039;s self is fantastic, the carving is just wonderful and if it could be restored I would, I was looking at new Mysore carved boxes today on youtube and they want $6500 for a really good one, this is because wages in India have risen and wages in the west have fallen, what once was a tourist piece has become quite a major purchase.</p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]C4yTdrf_9oA[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
