Furniture Restoration

Amercian Walnut Collectors Cabinet   Size: 26'' x 14 1/4'' x11 1/4''

The upper 4 drawer section is a piece from the 1920s with a locking feature housed in the L/H side of the carcase which when the key is turned in the second drawer locks all 4 drawers together. The drawer sides & bottoms are made of American poplar, dovetailed together. The design of the drawer runners & the style of the orginal brass plate handles are taken from the early 18th century.

The lower 3 drawer base section i've made to match in re-claimed timber of the same species. All drawers have been lined out in top quility green baize at the clients request as she will be using it as a sewing cabinet.
The handles have been copied to match by Marshall Brass of Foulsham Norfolk.

Here is a restored 18th century oak corner cupboard with later carving. This item was completly restored. When it arrived at my workshop it was tied up with string and a box full of bits which had parted company with the main structure. It was missing the plinth and part of the cornice.

18th century oak tripod table with bridcage support, as you can see there was a deep split in the table top, this table was completely restored
