Thanks Mart.  I have ordered a tassle for the key!  It gets a little beeswax every few months, and I am happy that it is not ultra valuable because we want to keep it.  I will take your advice and get the veneer replaced and the metalwork reattached to the legs.   Maybe get a little professional advice about the staining also.

Absolutely.  I know nothing apart what I have picked up watching the Antiques Roadshow!  We had someone put together an antique grandfather clock that was in pieces and looked dreadful, he was very good but now retired.  The trick is finding someone reputable.  I will take my time over researching this to make sure I get it right.
