<p>[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 3666736, member: 5170"]I'd go for the walnut if it were me, since it's walnut that you're dealing with. Also, it's reasonable to expect that even if the original finish was intact, it would have darkened and developed a patina over 150 years. If something looks too "fresh" then you lose some of the charm of having a 150-year old piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
