<p>[QUOTE="Msalicia, post: 4310934, member: 13664"]I’m curious as to the finish that is on it now. Did you test? Does it look older? Stained? Wax only or possibly that a strip was done long ago and it’s not that awful poly? Just tongue oil? Shellac, varnish? I wouldn’t be able to contain myself and be content just looking at it. The qtips and solvents would be out to test. For me it’s like getting a new gemstone and a good loop look. Maybe you know already please keep posting. Thank you for the Sotheby’s sale info. I will take your advise and ask. I would think the museum would have grabbed any Dominy for their collection prior to a sale. I want to see the workshop they have there of the Dominys original tools and designs. But I’m not sure if it’s on display. I know the furniture collection is. It’s even possible some were acquired from earlier family collections. I can’t be sure there were several pieces. Some are still privately owned I’m aware of. Good luck with this project. Sooo exciting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
