If it's valuable, I wouldn't refinish it. If the only value is to you, decide if you want to refinish it or paint it. If you just want to spruce it up, clean the wood, and wax it. To paint or refinish, strip it first with a product like Citristrip.
Hi Lynette
I refinish furniture so may be able to help. Your question is very open ended so maybe you can be a little more specific on what you want. Is there a certain look you are going for or do you want to refinish a wood dresser? Are you matching another piece? Are you using it or selling it? There's a lot of planning that goes into refinishing furniture and many ways you can go!
Lynette: Maybe you could use this same idea on an antique dresser!
