<p>[QUOTE="shamster, post: 9766436, member: 85821"]Hmmm, yeah when i bought my tea caddy I was not told it was restored, just knowing the interior was replaced by themselves. But later when I bought another tea caddy I realized it was impossible without later refinish. It's still a lovely box, but yeah if I could choose I won't revarnish it like new. Imperfection should be kept as respect to the people who crafted, owned and used it through the ages. Eliminating them is like erasing these tiny proofs of people once lived with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
