<p>[QUOTE="Wild boar 123, post: 9821722, member: 87343"]Thanks all for your feedback - clarified things for me. I thought the chances of it being an old/valuable piece were 1/10. Hinged on the handles, so to speak. Would only get it done up (and go to the expense of having handles made or finding matching ones) if it had been all quality wood and old enough). It's an honest piece and has proved extremely useful - does what it was intended to do. Will have a go at restoring it myself and do any minor repairs if I can. Had it for over 20 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>The price of furniture is crazy. Here in the UK you can buy a quality piece of antique funiture for peanuts. I bought a Victorian mahogany Sutherland table for £30 at a local auction recently. A nice Victorian or earlier chest of drawers not much more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
