Recently restored: Beautiful first half 20th century American mahogany extension dining table

We recently restored this beautiful first half 20th century American mahogany extension dining table for some of my favourite customers.
It would have been easy to strip, sand and re finish.
Would have cost substantially more and the dark red/brown mahogany colour would have returned.
The overall fade is what’s so attractive re this table.

The carriers delivers to our workshops. We cleaned back the surfaces, retaining the original finish (most important) Shane, very cleverly filled the deep gouge/scratch perfectly level, no damage to surrounding surface! Exceptional!
Jack re french polished the table, during the processes, I coloured out the repair.
Once completed, the table was cut back and wax finished, to soften the shine.
Note: retaining the original fade and overall markings is most important.
Very happy customers and looks magnificent back in place, alongside the matching English Regency mahogany sideboard, we restored at the same time.
I’ll probably post that tomorrow….
Team work here, something we all enjoy…

Thanks Jack & Shane
