18th century English oak lowboy.

Another piece purchased last week that still requires a clean up and re wax finishing.
I’ll carefully remove much of the later polish, bring back to a lighter oak, then re wax finish.
Later brass work, I’ll probably replace with period style swan-neck handles.

A Nest of English Oak Tables

This nest of 1920s oak side tables have been around for many many years.
I purchased them around 15 years ago, my late father Neville stripped the lacquered finish off for me, for some reason he removed all the tops?

So over the years, we found some tops, the bases, moved from store to storeroom, bloody bloody!!

Recently Eddie (step dad) and fantastic cabinet maker put them back together.
Charlie and myself located a tin of bitumen to give the important base colour, we then polished them together and Charlie and Jack cut back and wax finished them together.

So an entire family concern put into these decorative, functional tables.
