<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 231363, member: 23&quot;]I know I&#039;ve said this before, but after watching the original ARS from the UK and then visiting antique malls on a visit, it seems our European friends prefer their antiques &#039;cleaned up&#039; and looking spiffy.&nbsp; I read one of the Keno brothers books on antique furniture and they bemoaned the fact that they found a very rare pier table in France, had it shipped home to NY and found it had been severely refinished before it was sent because the auction house over there wouldn&#039;t think of sending something that was less than pristine.&nbsp; So, maybe in smirk&#039;s part of the world, refinishing isn&#039;t going to hurt the value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
