The sofa’s where a nightmare but you could buy them for pennies if they were damaged , I would clean and re polish the wood and she would re cane it , and an upholsterer who rented space in the shop sorted out the upholstery , they turned good money .Brown furniture at the time made top dollar and those little chiffonier’s that Sid painted I was giving £700 min for at auction , to strip and repolish , the same with painted chests of drawers , you sometimes picked up some real hidden gems when you stripped the paint of and found Brazilian flame mahogany that repolished looked stunning . I sold the shop to a developer with the intention of opening another but the price of brown furniture fell of a cliff that year , now it seems the only way to sell old ( every day ) furniture is to paint it ..the top quality antique furniture trade will always be there . Has that chair had the legs cut down Wilf ? .it looks low , definitely needs some different castors on it ... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I read somewhere that there’s only about 200 tonnes of natural gold left to be feasibly mined and about another 25 ton that could be panned/extracted from rivers......one day all the gold on the planet will be above ground and in use in phones/computers or on someone’s finger/round their neck and as jewellery will normally stay as jewellery the most sustainable method of getting gold will be what they call “urban mining” from refining e waste and that’s why gold dealers are buying it now and just stacking it up in a vault somewhere as it will only get higher as less becomes available naturally. Unless they find another natural source it will definitely go that way......there’s some places that hold 1000s of tonnes but it will be places like the arctic or inaccessible mountain regions etc......pretty crazy to think we have near cleared off one natural resource so much that we will have to destroy even more of the earth just to get more of it! I know f**k all about gold and scrapping etc but I'll be amazed if there's only 200t of gold undergroung, not buying that! Edit, just checked there's an estimated 18000 tonnes in the US alone Edited November 25, 2019 by JDHUNTING Quote Link to post Share on other sites
