Recently restored – unusual 19th century English figured walnut extension dining table

Was coated with thick pasty oxides years ago, that hid the beautiful natural grain.

There were strong black rings to the top and leaves and a few chips.I hand stripped, Eddie patched the tops and bleached the rings.

Then I sealed and hand finished the table is as lighter natural finish as possible, using traditional french polishing and modern protective finishes.

Description

Was an enjoyable job for Eddie and myself. Our customers were also very happy with the end result.
Note, a couple of before pics, showing the way it was pre restoration.
Note: These large extension dining tables are literally always in mahogany, sometimes oak, very rarely walnut.
Having been restoring these tables for over four decades.
The varied figured grain and light to warmer tones make this table so attractive. Certainly worth spending every cent we charged for this restoration.
