Thanks chaps!
A light spritz of dirty glue water with two Fox Terriers let loose on it does wonders for the patina.

Stunning. I am a little lost for words on how to express but I keep looking back on this finished piece.

Not as yet, but the keyholes are at an authentic height should I decide to make some locks for it. This chest isn't an out and out fake (by a long chalk), so I hesitate to spend three to four hours making each lock by hand and yet I don't want to taint what I've accomplished by fitting modern locks. If I happen upon some genuine locks from a breaker, then I would consider fitting them to the drawers. Originally Posted by Blue-deviled

What's a breaker?
I can guess but sometimes it is best to ask the question.

A breaker is a rough piece of furniture that's commercially irretrievable and is therefore broken up for its veneer, hardware and timber.

There's seldom anything salvageable from Victorian furniture: The veneers are worthless, the timber is usually of too poor quality or totally the wrong type and the hardware is ... well... Victorian and therefore useless too. Originally Posted by Blue-deviled
