Hi everyone.
My first post but I've been reading for a little while.
I'm looking for some advise on the value of a couple of pieces of
Early 19th century furniture that I have.
One is a mahogany bookcase secretaire still with
It's original finish, which may I add is quite worn in places.
There have been a few little repairs over the years but
All in all its in good condition and all latches and locks function as they should
This second item is from c1820 and is a mahogany chest on chest
In fairly good condition with original finish and some historical woodworm. It has recently been
Waxed but shows age related splits and knocks here and there.
My question is what would the approx value be of these be, if any,
And how can I make them look their best. should I strip and refinish them or leave them
And wax them to keep the patina.
I have attached a picture if this helps
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Steve.
