A recent private restoration job.
Beautiful last quarter 19th century French oak rotating desk chairThe last photo shows before restoration.
Several patches and re carving, re gluing, removed the later varnished dark surface to reveal a very red raw oak.
Refused to sand or bleach, made up a green base stain that removed much of the red, a very old trick.
Re french polished, coloured in repairs, cut back and wax finished.
Craig Howell, upholsterer, removed the original pressed leather seat and reupholstered the chair to finish this wonderful job.
Eddie, cabinet maker, completed the repairs and carving. Also the ball bearings lubricated and running well.
