Louis Philippe Mahogany Chest
 Moving Damages

Comment

Years ago we bought our Louis Philippe Mahogany Chest of drawers in France.  

Now the piece needed a serious restoration. The wood had chipped off in many places, due to years of wear and tear and many moves. We were extremely pleased with the end result.
Jaap did a wonderful job in restoring the marks and in giving back the beautiful rich sheen to the wood. 

We are very happy and will certainly work with Jaap again, if we need some furniture restored.

Restoration needed:

Repaired a split in side panel caused by the inner frame which expanded due to changing temperatures. Repaired bottom drawer runners to make it close perfectly again.

Replaced  missing pieces of veneer and colored to match.

Stripped the left side panel which suffered severe water damage and re-colored to match.

French polished all repaired parts and revived dull French polish on the remainder of the piece
