<p>[QUOTE="Rallen123, post: 162798, member: 2704"]Hi - first time poster here! I inherited two antique dressers from my late grandmother and am looking to get some insight on the approximate age/quality of the dressers. The smaller one has some water damage/stains on the top- I would love to fix that up somehow but don't want to hurt the value/integrity of the piece. Would appreciate any suggestions of how to do that! I'm pretty positive the drawer pulls on the tilting-mirror dresser are replacements. My grandparents restored/collected old furniture as a novice hobby so I plan to keep these for sentimental reasons (and because they are beautiful!) but they didn't leave any records for these pieces. I want to know as much as possible about the likely age/history of these dressers as well as how to keep them in nice condition so they will continue to last. Any help much appreciated!</p><p>Edit: Also to note is my grandparents were from and always lived in Northern Michigan, so all furniture they found/antiqued would have been bought in the region.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]44463[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]44467[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]44465[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]44464[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]44466[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
