Re: jewelry box
how would i go about restoring the mirror
Re: jewelry box
The cost of having the mirror resilvered would exceed the value of the box, Just have a local glass shop cut a new one to fit. You can always keep the old glass and store it.
Re: jewelry box
Thankyou very much. I have been looking for a replacement mirror but will look into that.

Where would one find the tack used for the foot?
Re: jewelry box
There is a company called Van Dykes that sells restoration hardware, they have a website, but I don't have their address.
Re: jewelry box
Thankyou very much, will research that one and find out.
