Below, Ant Chair by Arne Emil Jacobsen Ca 1952, French Second Empire Etruscan Revival Polychrome Cane Chairs circa 1800, British Bird’s Eye Maple Commode circa 1750, and a Berkey & Gay Armchair Circa 1900.
With wooden objects, whether they are Mid-Century Modern or older antiquities,
we prefer finish restoration rather than stripping (links to pages above).
In this way, we preserve the original finish,
adding to the value of your antiquity or family heirloom.
