Indeed.
Would you ever refinish a set like this or is that just not done?
There is no hard and fast rule. I tend not to so as to preserve that dimension of pieces' historical authenticity, but I have refinished pieces and actually am considering refinishing these. What do you think?

My first thought was that they would be gorgeous refinished. Then I felt guilty as they have the right to wear their patina and scars. 
I don't suppose there is one right answer.

I agree on all counts.
Very nice. I like the fact that this set seems to be 100% wood. No plastic in sight. I am currently eying up a similar set on ebay (if someone doesn’t bag it first) 😬
Good luck!
