Dear Mrs Dewey,

I do not agree at all with your cabinet maker. There is not a chance on earth that the armchair should not be genuine.

But it would be perfectly normal on such a well preserved piece that the wood under the upholstery of the back should look new, because having always been protected by the stuff, it was never in contact with the air or light.

Therefore, I may reassure you entirely : what your cabinet maker thinks are defects, are the quality of untampered pieces which is not used to see anymore nowadays.

Yours sincerely.
