19.01.2022 Its not everyday our restoration projects come with their own stationary circa 1800's ... This gorgeous Inlaid box has been a family heirloom for quite some time and was in need of a little TLC. We repaired the veneers and mother of pearl and kept the original purple lining as per our client's request . Stuart worked his magic in the spraybooth and this rather beautiful box is now fully restored and ready to be passed down through the generations once again. A beautiful project we were so happy to be involved in !!
