<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 3399937, member: 5066&quot;]Even museum pieces have issues, most of them anyway. Old furniture pieces don&#039;t get to be that old or older without having issues, just part of it. Some people want 300-year-old pieces in perfect condition, NEWS FLASH: they don&#039;t exist, they never have, and never will. Like the fantasy of an original surface, TOTAL BS in 98% or more of pieces that are that old, it&#039;s a marketing/ sales type dealio to increase the price.</p><p>These pieces are rare survivors from another age, they all have condition issues, better to acknowledge that reality and pass them on in as good or better condition than you found them.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Can&#039;t see any difference in the photo, Pook is probably wrong about that, matter of fact I thrive on auctioneer mistakes. They are generalists, they know a little about a lot of objects, they are not specialists in particular objects. Big difference there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
