Not sure if this is the proper place to ask, but here goes...
I recently inherited a piece of furniture that belonged to my great-grandmother and one of the rosettes has come unglued. I assume it is some sort of hide glue, but I really know absolutely nothing about this sort of thing. What is the proper way to reattach it? I think if I just use superglue or regular old titebond it will haunt me forever, it seems like a waste to risk taking it to a professional for something so minor and I certainly don't want to screw it up myself trying to remove the old glue if there is a better way. Thanks for the insight.
