This rare Gothic Revival side table with shelf had seen better days.
Several parts of the carved filigree had to be replaced and hand carved.
The budget was limited, so while no refinishing was done,
the colors were matched and it was returned to the owner serviceable and freshly cleaned.

 

This rocker came to us as a large box of broken parts, much of it missing.
I wish I had a picture of that disaster scene. The seat was destroyed.
There were missing spindles. The entire thing was black and gummy.
Missing and destroyed parts were carefully copied, the entire chair painstakingly reassembled,
and refinished to bring out the beauty and flash of the quarter sawn oak.
