RESTORATION of an early 20th century English oak Jacobean revival writing bureau.
Lacquers can rarely be saved and usually too dark to bother trying.
In these cases we hand strip the lacquer, clean surface, mix a base stain,
this time using “bitumen” a little trick I thought I’d share.
Re-french polish, then cut back and wax finish to soften shine.
RESTORATION of attractive 19th century English mahogany lowboy/side table
Afters then before’s of a now attractive 19th century English mahogany lowboy/side table.
Having a cross-banded top with ebonised stringing inlay.
Was very sun damaged and patchy on arrival, as you can see in last photos.
This was a restoration job for customers.
Early 19th century French fruitwood & oak dough bin/petrin.
The well patinated three plank cleated top, above a canted bin with deep wedge corner joints, joined to an oak planked floor.
The base with a plain frieze, resting on attractive out swept shaped legs.
Fantastic overall colour and patination.

A rare set of six 1920s revival dining chairs.
These chairs are around 100 years old. The 20s was a huge revival period.
They have Queen Anne rear shaped splats and shaped top rails 1705.
George I and George II cavletto style moulds 1714 – 1740
all blending so well.
Would you believe I used bitumen to build this beautiful walnut/period oak colour.
A long, complicated, somewhat monotonous restoration job indeed!

Russell Winnell photographs my apartment
One of Australia’s leading photographers Russell Winnell nearly spent the entire day
photographing my apartment today. As Russell’s as fussy as me!
We work well together, playing Bowie, Frank Ocean, Kanye, The Dance Exponents etc…
Great music always makes the environment even better!
Looking forward to seeing the results and publishing in a magazine, the article re sizing down very soon…
I’m also sharing to #allpresscreations as this will be my main page once I close and do other stuff…
Continually changing art around in my apartment.
Today I added Mali Moir’s ‘Cape Warthog’ moving Lucinda Chambers ‘Long Distance Love’
above the Italian retro rosewood sideboard.
I’m also trying Martin Tighe’s ‘Still Water’
Keeping Lydia Ciconte’s ‘Bush Fire Burning’ in the entrance, above the mid 18th century
English oak low dresser.
Looking forward to Russell Winnell photographing all when completed very soon…
