Gate leg table from Victoria - Mahogany?
Hi,
This is something that was destined for the dump pit but mine now. I'm taking a guess it's mahogany but appreciate being corrected.
I saw something with the hinges underneath having the same style of cuts and they said it was 1830. Could I be that lucky with this age?
I applied metholated spirits and it certainly feels like shellac on the top. I was thinking of washing with warm water and Sunlight soap (learnt this from this site), any comment?
I really want to clean the top up to get uniform colour ignoring the knocks and scrapes (patina).
I normally work with blonde shellac to highlight silky oak but this is different.
Any advice on how to get the same colour going where the wood has been exposed?
For the broken hinge I'm looking at removing the pin and putting a good metal hinge there.
Can anyone help me with the age and proper description of things like the legs?
I've had to fix some modern furniture lately to sell. Just doesn't feel right. I always want to break it down and take to dump :(
Appreciate how people on this site have taught me so much.
Cheers,
Nick
