Restored Original Finish Dresser

Stripped & Restored Original Finish on Antique Dresser.

This dresser was in bad shape when I got it. The finish was worn and the wood was scratched and dented. The original finish had to be thoroughly de-waxed and cleaned. Then fine sanded and amalgamated to bring the original finish back to life. Then touched up then clear lacquer coats were applied, then fine sanding and the final satin lacquer coats were applied and hand rubbed with lemon oil. Then I reassembled the hardware. The new restored finish brings out the natural beauty of the wood and protects it from future wear.
