[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 375222, member: 56"]It looks like another Luan plywood piece in which case it's a recent import. (I'm not sure where they come from... Phillipines, Indonesia, China?) Spit can be used as a cleaner because of the enzymes it contains. Using some on a Q-tip on a small test patch might give an indication of how much grime there is and how the painting looks under it, but when you tamper with stuff like that, there's always the potential for damage. It doesn't look like high quality work to me. A nice enough decorator piece. Essentially factory art.[/QUOTE]
