Project Details
This rare Victorian cabinet required extensive restoration to bring it back to its original glory. The damaged veneer was carefully repaired, missing pieces were recreated using matching cherry wood, and the entire piece was refinished using traditional shellac techniques appropriate to its era. Special attention was paid to preserving the original patina while ensuring the cabinet would be functional and beautiful for another century.
