    I’ve been collecting Danish Modern furniture for thirty years and I’ve never seen this piece. It’s beautiful! Your inpainting is remarkable, I don’t think I’ve ever seen better.

    I'm Danish and I love these kinds of furniture. They are very stylish. I have never seen this model, though, but it is very beautiful and I would like to have it myself :) Beautiful work.

    I had a drop leaf solid walnut table with leaves. It moved all over the country with me, over and over, and I put on free Craigslist. An antique dealer came and got it and my only request was to get a picture of it restored. Months later it came, with its two grain matching pieces and set for twelve with fine china. The grains flowed across the the table. OMG it was lovely.

    • @MadManRestorations
      @MadManRestorations  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes. After each touch up while inpainting I spray a quick coat of sealer. Inpainting is a process of layering the grain painting. If that makes sense.

    My parents bought a house full of furniture from Dania in 1958, I believe. Sadly, my mother was forced to sell all of it, in the late 70's and I was just a teenager so did not appreciate the furniture I grew up with and was in no position to have it. It makes me so sad!

    • @MadManRestorations
      @MadManRestorations  หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Dudeyoureajoke shellac isn't durable enough for a topcoat and is the incorrect finish. I use shellac as a barrier cost in case of silicon contamination. Using vinyl sealer and lacquer together creates a very strong finish that's pretty much period correct.

    Did you refinish the whole piece or work with the original finish? I do have to refinish dresser tops pretty often, but rarely if ever have to refinish the whole piece. I like to keep the original patina whenever possible, which is probably 95% of the time of about 200 pieces or more that I have restored.
