Antique China Cabinet..Will It Crack If It Is Against The Baseboard Heater?
I had an armoir (sp?) that was brand new amish made in my bedroom and I (stupidly) put it against the floorboard heat….It was fresh wood and the heat put a big crack down the side… As for my antique china cabinet I was wondering if it would be safe to put against the heatboard….since the wood is already old and dry (my great great grandfather made it)…do you think it would crack as well? I am rearranging my dining room and there is a certain wall I really want to put it against….Thanks…..
This is yours and not mine but if it were mine I would not put it up against the heat nor would I put it a 1/8 inch away. It is easy to say that you can do this but the truth is that we all live in different parts of the country and the moisture factor is different for all of us. This is a wonderful piece of furniture to have and treasure I would not take the chance of something happening to it. Wood as you have learned holds moisture new wood has a base of moisture in it but in an area where there is a lot of humidity that furniture will also have a moisture in it, ergo it becomes like new wood again.
