This Victorian tilt top breakfast table was badly damaged by a removal company.
You can see that the base was smashed in several pieces.
The base had also been re finished at some point with a very heavily pigmented stain that completely obscured the timber and was very drab.
The top had many years of patina that the customer wanted to retain but there was one area that had an imprint from an iron that was a real eye sore.
We repaired all the breaks, then stripped and sanded the base. We then stained it to a colour to blend in with the top which we couldn’t strip in order to save the patina.
We then added some more patina and carefully blended some stains into the area that had the the mark.
Once we were satisfied with that we French polished all surfaces and finally wax polished all surfaces.
We checked the tilt top mechanism and found that it wasn’t working as it should , so repaired that as well.
The table is now good for another 150years.

A Blackwood sideboard damaged by a burglar.
After breaking in to this house he decided it would be a good idea to carve his initials into the timber.

We stripped and sanded the entire sideboard to remover the damage and to ensure identical colour and sheen level.
It was then French polished and wax polished .

Damage is circled in white and there’s two pics showing the various components of the sideboard after it was pulled apart, stripped and sanded.

Client brief: re polish in a light oak colour.
This request is the flavour of the month - actually flavour of the last couple of years at least. Everyone wants their furniture finished as light as possible.
So this was stripped sanded and re finished in its natural colour.
Table is now like brand new.
Customer Glenn was good enough to help us get this very heavy table back into his kitchen - many thanks Glenn!
