Arrogant Ego's make your Antiques worthless!
Great, if you don't mind getting your antiques back with a thick layer of colored paint coating the once luminous and historied finish. I sent some pieces in to be restored after some very unfortunate water damage, and was assured they would be returned to me looking as if they had never been damaged. Instead, they were returned looking as if all the legs/bottoms had been chopped off and plastic versions had been attached. Had I known that "restoring" meant spray-painting, and glazes, i would have went elsewhere, where they used true handcrafted methods like those used when these pieces of furniture were originally crafted... like sanding, stain matching, and crafting a finish matching the historied age of the antique. To further add insult to injury, when I voiced my displeasure at the finished product, I was rebuffed by the owners' Arrogant (if not obnoxious) attitude..."a great deal of artistry and talent was used to restore these, and they look as good as new!" Yeah, new...half the piece looks new, the other half looks 200 years old. Antiques are all about age, and now mine are worthless. Thanks.
