<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hew, post: 10064033, member: 89527&quot;]Hey everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>My family has this Gaskell and Chambers &quot;Dalex&quot; inlaid table. It has damage to the inlay, and we want to either restore the inlay or replace it. I have been able to research enough to find that &quot;Dalex&quot; refers to the branding of the items made by Gaskell &amp; Chambers that were first made at the Dalex Works (later Dales End Works) in Birmingham, England.</p><p><br /></p><p>Problem is, I still don&#039;t know what the material is. Our first guess was that &quot;Dalex&quot; was a trademarked material, since that&#039;s what a lot of search results say (due to antique websites just saying it without evidence). The second thought was that it was bakelite, but it has failed all of the tests, and doesn&#039;t seem to be that.</p><p><br /></p><p>An old catalogue from the early 20th century has a description that also mentions &quot;miroc&quot; but I still can&#039;t determine what the material for the inlay would be. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, does anyone have any experience with Gaskell &amp; Chambers pub furniture? Any help would be appreciated![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
