I have a antique which has no clear coat left & has a black water stain.Can I remove it w/out affecting stain?

Question

I need to remove the stain without affecting the finish if possible since

the piece has been dated from the late 1800's.

Answer 1

Usually water stains are white in colour as they contain calcium or magnesium. However, if you still think it's a water stain and you don't want to affect the antique too much, then a equal parts vinegar and water mixture applied with a soft cloth should gently remove the stain. Hope that helps!

Answer 2

I think if you rub turpentine on it that should do the trick.  Of course, this is the hockey section so I may not know what I'm talking about when it comes to antiques
