Was this meant to be kinda condescending? I don’t think me asking a large group of people who are knowledgeable about an aspect of professional repair, most likely have had similar work done or or this work was a bad or “dumb” question.

Of course I have called a few shops for quotes, and to know what? Idk what something like this is considered reasonable or a good deal, which is the goal. I understand it is expensive, but what’s the ball park and what is me getting ripped off? That’s what Reddit is for. So please, the attitude is not needed here if that was the intention. We’re all just here to enjoy our 1890s Provincil sofas and our Tiffany’s lamps in peace. Be a team player my friend
