Question
I have an old buffet that looks really good except for around the door and drawer hardware it has some sort of decorative painting that needs to be replaced. I almost feel like these are some kind of stick on decoration and not necessarily hand painted. Could that be? And if so, is there somewhere I could find replacements for these?
I'm sorry to say, if they were an applied decoration, the chances of finding replacements would be harder then winning the lottery. The only suggestion I would make is to hand paint in the missing parts. If you are or have a friend who is an artist, it should be easier.
Thanks for your question,
Rob
