<p>[QUOTE="antidiem, post: 4570604, member: 30"]I don't see any overt evidence of stripping either, but in the cracks may be a smidge of left over paint from vat stripping. I see a lot of that sort of rub wear. It looks antique and stripped to me, I believe it would have been originally painted so wood worms wouldn't eat it, stripping comes as no surprise. Are those tiny holes in the top of the side - wood worm holes? I've had them hit a piece that was stripped before I could get a clear finish back onto it! If this were my piece, I'd consider application of some sort of finish. None of the feet look right to me, the front ones may be correct style, but they don't look old, they all look like replacements. Maybe [USER=37]@verybrad[/USER] can sort this out! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
