Here's a good tip, for any kind of antique/vintage/collectible furniture, that I picked up from Antiques Roadshow:

Always take it to someone well-versed in furniture restoration, NOT refinishing. You want to do your best not to remove any of the original aging/patina. Of course, if the piece is in compete disrepair, do what you can to save it, even if it means taking back down to bare wood.

Does anyone down south have any names? -and would you post pictures of before and after?
