<p>[QUOTE="Tim Naylor, post: 3399939, member: 18098"]If those two pegged arm images are any indication, much less the inset rectangular patches covering up their respective screws at their joints with the back stiles, I don't think there's any question that both arms are original. And keep all those "imperfections"! It might have a harsher modern finish, but don't strip and/or refinish it. Just add paste wax and buff every now and then, over dust. Don't clean it before hand. The only way to create and supplement a fine old patina, is to do exactly what 's been done for 250 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
