    Doily. That's the 'word' equivalent of digging up some Roman coins. Good work.

    I wouldn't touch it unless it had been properly spray cleaned, and even then only with rubber gloves on.

    You just can't be TOO careful, can you o_O

    Onion, very thinly sliced cucumber in vinegar, bit of pepper, left to soak overnight to soften it all up. Still make it.

    This is turning into a very racist and sexist thread.
    Does it really matter which century it is from? The slavery problem is too great and important to be discussed here so butt out, next thing you'll be destroying statues.

    Now then, how would you tell if a piece of 17th century furniture is genuine or not? 3 things to look out for are what?

    Victorian & Edwardian sideboards are refusing woodworm treatment.
    Hepplewhite, Robert Adam & Chippendale are self isolating.
    G plan pieces are irresponsibly saying ‘**** this, let’s go dancing’.. :rolleyes:
