<p>[QUOTE="Dawn mohrbavher, post: 236805, member: 4625"]Ok on the second piece...it is mine. I took that picture in the shop. But...it's British and it is not refinished. If you could see it in person you'd see the finish is worn in a lovely fashion. The patina is not white but instead shows it's many years of age. It's an almost yellow piece though appears a bit lighter in the picture. And it's coming on my 40 foot container today so maybe I will snap a few more pics.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first piece with the copper...that's a picture only. I didn't see the dresser in person. To my eye it is a pretty piece but fairly clean...meaning likely refinished as ya'll say and I prefer my beauties to show their age (I don't believe in botox for furniture...just for me LOL). I never buy pieces that have been significantly altered or refinished beyond where they should be. I don't mind cleaning up old wax and rewaxing, but that's as far as I like to see a piece altered. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unless it's a 16th century overcarved desk....which I have coming today <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> But the carving was done in the 19th century I let it slide heh heh[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
