Another cutie saved from the deep trenches of furniture paint 😅 there was FOUR layers of paint I had to fight thru to get to this solid wood beauty. Luckily it’s rained so much and the humidity helps remove paint so I only really struggled through one side and every single drawer lol nbd.
The top two drawers and body didn’t match the bottom four drawers. Those were much darker so I had to stain it and then use toner on the whole thing to get it to somewhat mesh. It looks so much less red in person- Thank God.
This is a 1940-1950s John Widdicomb Co. piece that came with 5/6 original pulls. I searched high and low on the internet to find the missing piece but couldn’t so I had to switch them out 😭
Whatever, it’s always so satisfying getting to save a solid wood antique. 🐿️
