Louis XVI Armoire with Mirrored Door

Picture
     


              On this Armoire none of the doors worked properly. It had lots of
            missing and loose veneers, loose and broken hinges, lots of
            cracks on both sides, broken and missing moldings.
            At the end the entire piece was cleaned, touched-up and French
            polished. 




         


Carved French LouisXV Armoire

            Cleaning and conservation was done on this piece. Once a year
            some of my clients request for conservation. Especially because
            Furniture can also be affected by the amount of moisture in the air,
            it is why conservation is recommended to be done.



Dutch China Cabinet

            The China cabinet had lots of loose veneers, the drawers' sliding
            system required work, and the finish was in a poor condition.
            Once the work was done the furniture got back its beautiful value.

            The doors got twisted and damaged during the move from overseas.
            Humidity treatment was used to straighten out the doors to allow 
            it to work.
            At the end the entire piece was French polished.

Antique Writing Desk

Picture
     
            The finish was damaged by the sun and the oxidation, and was dull
            and semi-opaque.
            The French polishing removed the damaged finish without 
            changing the patina acquired by the sun-bleached veneer and
            revived the original luster.

Picture

            
            The Bookcase had loose moldings, lots of loose and a few missing
            veneers.
            The finish was in a poor condition and the hardware needed
            cleaning.
