<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TaraUnnie, post: 120711, member: 906&quot;]Please don&#039;t paint it, it is beautiful and would be even more beautiful sanded back with some polish or beeswax! I am not very familiar with American Furniture (which I assume this is) but to me looks early 1900s in era and lovely. The painting of antiques in pastel colours not only a bit cliché now, it also makes it less popular or valuable amongst people interested in buying antiques as depending on the wood quality underneath, can be difficult to strip and return to its original state. I have seen a few antique rocking chairs from America recently in antique stores that have been painted, one was painted so thickly, beyond chipping and stripping it off without damaging it and plus the paint had filled in and distorted the decorative carvings..sad. Anyway, is it possible to use this as it is or get more contemporary chair to paint?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
