Furniture Paint

Thank you for your attention, blog: how do you paint furniture and buy painting wooden furniture.
Question–: How can I treat antique furniture for bugs?
We bought an antique bookcase and later discovered it has bugs in it. They are eating the wood and leaving little piles of sawdust. They are very small and brown with little wings – they sort of resemble weevils. (I do not think they are termites.)

How do we kill them? Do we have to get rid of the bookcase? And, are we in danger of them spreading to other pieces of furniture or our hardwood floors?

Please help! Thanks.

cover it with a tarp and use a fogger. lots of options there. I’d use a “no mess” type. still I’d wipe it down with Murphy’s Oil Soap after.

The problem you have resembles woodworm, if there is powder dust from tiny holes, this is from the larvae and then they migrate through your entire house if not treated quickly allegedly. I would treat the suspect item with a proprietary woodworm treatment, or get rid quickly before infestation occurs.

The following are not relevant to the content of some antique furniture,also not about the contents of the shoe blog,But ,a little bird told me, it is funny:Behind every successful man, there is a woman.And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two. A friend is easier lost than found.One meets its destiny on the road he takes to avoid it..Question–: Can you identify the style of antique furniture from a description of the back and legs of the chairs?
I have a matching antique dining set and I want to identify the style/period of the furniture. The back of the chairs is similar to Queen Anne however, the legs are turned and straight (plumb from the corner of the seat to the floor) not carved or cabriolet. There is a lot of detail in the turning (wide, narrow, beads above globe and urn shapes with concave cutouts running vertically to the leg). The top of the legs are square as is the point where the cross bracing attaches to the leg. Sorry I am not familiar with antique terminology. Can anyone identify this style (I can provide photos) or point me to an easy to use visual reference?
