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.
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.
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!
