Removing and Restoring Label from Table
I have a Danish Modern Dinning Table that I am looking to restore. The Illums Bolighus Label is damaged. Mainly the brass plating has peeled off. I would like to know if its possible to restore the label and is there a way to remove it without damaging the label or table. There are tiny bolts that connect the label to the table.

This is almost exactly how the label looks.

G'day Robert,
Welcome to the mob,
Honestly I don't think the tab in itself is worth the cost of "restoring".
My suggestion, is once you remove the label, take it to an engraving shop.
I am sure the label can be reproduced and computer engraved exactly in solid brass sheet (not just plated ) to look the same as your original sample.
I am sure the engraving shops on your side of the world do similar labels for sporting trophies.
Cheers
Grahame

Thank you,
I found a place that can restore it but it is very expensive. What is the best way to remove the label without causing damage?

Robert we need to see an in-focus picture of the mounting method. Are you sure that they are bolts, or could they be rivets or even nails?

Oh...how are you going to re-finish the table?
