Refinished antiques and value in 18th to 20th century pieces
Experts debate if refinishing preserves value as original finishes often influence price. Some rare pieces improve with refinishing, while well preserved originals command higher sums. Notable examples include a Gustav Stickley clock selling for $32,500 at a Rage Craftsman auction and Hoosier Glass vases once valued at lower prices but gaining collector interest.
