Son and wife to be have bought an old chest of drawers, (antique I think)
it
smells old as it should do and thats how they like it.
The have been keeping bedding & suchlike in it but the old smell seems to
cling to the contents.
Anyone have any ideas how to neutralise the musty smell of the furniture
without reducing it's potential value as an antique?



Thought you said they like it smelling old? you could try bees waxing the
drawers inners?
You sure its not wood rot? careful examination the chest and drawers for
tiny spors will be apparent if it is.
