it properly—and that someone else cared enough to keep using it.

The Bottom Line
A beautiful old mahogany table isn’t valuable only because of the wood from which it was made.
Its real charm may come from everything that happened after it was built.
The meals.
The conversations.
The celebrations.
The scratches.
The repairs.
The years.
