I am so happy to see this piece. Glad you did an amazing job of restoring this beautiful piece. It is wonderful you opted to do it, that you did not, bleached , pickled, painted covered with transfers. You are a fantastic restorer. Thank you for this.

I most certainly do my fair share of bleaching, pickling, painting and adding transfers 😆😆😆 but, there are just some pieces that should not be covered up 😍😍😍 thank you for still enjoying beautiful wood pieces!

Wow! Now that is a beautiful repair and renew. Fantastic appreciation for mahogany book veneer. And the structural repairs are great too. And kudos for using the minimal and age-appropriate hardware: that really lets the wood take centre stage.
(I hate it when people ruin good furniture with milk paint and the like, and I often get censored when I say so on this board.)

I certainly do my fair share of painting, but some pieces are meant to stay wood for sure 😍♥️

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Have you thought about doing a little mahogany stain on the mirror? It looks separate from the bottom part and needs a little something extra to look cohesive. Otherwise, the look is beautiful.
What do you charge for such a beautiful
piece?
My mother bought a mahogany bedroom suite in 1960 and it was finished out exactly like this! Black on the edges and redder in the center. Beautiful work!!
