I recently undertook the restoration of an 18th-century Verbena side table, and it was both a challenge and a joy. The original finish had long faded, revealing a rich patina beneath layers of wax and grime. Using traditional methods with a gentle touch, I was able to preserve the integrity of the piece while bringing out its intricate inlays. Has anyone else worked on similar period furniture? I’d love to hear about your techniques and experiences.
