Stunning Victorian Pine '2 over 3' Chest of Draws

Now this is something special.

I acquired this in a heavy gloss finish.

After a few days of relentless 'dry-scraping'; this is the end result.

No chemicals have been anywhere near this fabulous piece; this has been; quite literally; a labour of love.

I had no idea what lay beneath; obviously; so with my trusty tungsten tipped scraper; we revealed layer after layer; each one a more satisfying; colour and texture than the last.

White gloss; green gloss, grey (undercoat?), then this;  quite exquisite cream, with the brown border evident; all totally original.

I can't scrape any further as I risk losing the border; original to this piece and that would be sacrilege.

So now; it is what it is!

Quite exceptional.

Original escutcheons and locks revealed; no keys tho'.

Later added solid glass handles

A beautiful piece of original functional furniture.

Approx. max. dims: H: 1000mm, W: 1060mm, D: 500mm

In excellent antique condition. Solid and robust. No signs of damage or repair. 

This  is a genuine antique piece and as such may well show signs of use and wear commensurate with age.

Please study the photos and video as these form part of the description.
