<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 279878, member: 37"]I think the whole thing pretty new. Stripping the paint with paint stripper is probably the only way you will get it off. This may remove gilding and/or eat into any gesso decoration. Quite frankly, this would probably sell better the way it is now. The shabby decorating trend is still quite strong. If you want it for yourself, your best bet may be to re-paint with gold paint or re-gild over the existing paint. Better yet, sell this one and buy one better to your liking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
