25.01.2022 Please share! Silky oak hall stand, heavily painted. Needed a mammoth amount of stripping to reveal the some beautiful silky oak grain underneath. (how could anyone paint over that?) Cleaned the feature pressed metal insets and hooks, found some new umbrella drip trays, fixed the mirror, re-polished and waxed.
25.01.2022 Please like and share. Late Victorian Mahogany card table, needed stripping, polishing and some new "burgundy" felt (felt looks red in the picture?) Timber is in great condition with very few dents considering it's age. Beautiful piece
24.01.2022 Late Victorian cedar dressing table mirror. Paint was deep in the grain and in the carvings, but finally got it stripped. French polished just enough to get it to it's original beautiful condition.
23.01.2022 Bentwood piano chair 1900's (rare item) originally seat was caned, then the ply seat was put on around the 20's when the cane failed probably. Upholstery was added later on. The client would've liked the cane back on, but we ended going with the 20's ply seat, much more durable. Stripped and polished up really well.
21.01.2022 Please share! 1930's silky oak hallstand; Dismantled all pieces, stripped the old finish, repaired the umbrella holders on the side. Made a new metal drip tray for one side, repaired the mirror, colour matched one side that was sun bleached, re-assembled everything, polished and waxed. Came up a treat.
