Our client knowingly selected this exceptional circa 1880 American walnut marble-top mirrored dresser, and we are meticulously restoring it to its original splendor. Our process encompassed stripping the overlying grey paint, re-veneering the drawer fronts and mirror components, polishing the brass hardware, and repolishing the marble top. Further updates will follow as work progresses.
