lockable antique pine dresser with mirror (loads of character) - definitely not from ikea!!!! :-)

Lovely/ Beautiful example of an understated antique pine dressing table with 3 drawers. Will replace photos soon.

This item has been stripped, repaired and restored. while retaining and probably adding to it's petina. The top has been dismantled, reassembled/ re glued/ re fixed using period methods where possible. The mirror enclosure has been dismantled, stripped, cleaned and re assembled. The whole piece has been slightly stained using a linseed oil based stain containing chromes only as would have been the original finish.The whole thing was then finished waxed using several layers of a combination of hard wax, beeswax and linseed oil. This has really brought out the grain flower as you can see on the photographs. This also gives a very close approximation of the original finish for its period but also adds an element of hard wearing ability. As you can see there are 2 keys currently in the locks that lock all draws.I would not like to guess how old this item is but it is old and subsequently has lots and lots of character. By the look of the work, methods of construction and look of the condition of the timbers and type 100 - 150 years by my estimate - could well be older.Note because this item has been waxed to restore back to close original condition - do not use any aerosol based wax or cleaner these contain solvents which will strip off the layers of wax applied. it should only require light dusting only. This Item took 3 days to restore (total).Location is East Yorkshire - can deliver (depending on your location) otherwise will give estimate for shipping.
