Answer by home729
If it’s a vaulable piece of antique I would seek the advice of a professional. You don’t want to destroy the value buy trying some off the wall remedy.

Answer by little eagle
I agree with ………home729….have it appraised..before you try anything…you might have allot of value in it..then seek pro re finishers help…..I have seen some valuable furniture destroyed…

Answer by split dog
Agree w/ little eagle.
Milk paint is an immediate clue to a pieces age
Most frequently found on primitive “farm” pieces & worth checking out.
Had a shop & did repairs for a number of antique shops.
If a piece was in really bad shape & stripping was the only way out, the stuff was a bear to remove & not damage the piece further.
Solvent type commercial strippers did not work since the stuff is organic & the solvents barely touched it.
The hot caustic bath after the chemical stripper was used worked ( not well),but that could have just been from the wood soaking up water.
If you really want to try it yourself you could make a paste of caustic soda & water but that is nasty stuff & requires neutralizing w/ a mild acid solution.
Mex is a caustic cleaner you can get in hardware stores.
One of the newer heavy paste strippers that you wrap w/ plastic film might work & is safer .
In any event, dont try to sand the stuff off.
I used cabinet scrapers which let you “shave” rather than dig in.
If you have it checked out I still want to go ahead, might as well DIY since it will give the “pro’s ” fits & may cause damage.
Best regards
