This Walnut Chiffonier was in a very bad state, but even so, you can see the lovely wood grain.
The owner’s cat had urinated on the bottom right hand corner for many years, causing the veneer to peel off and the wood to saturate and swell. The right hand door bottom was also affected badly.
The whole piece needed re-polishing – it was a very challenging job on many levels.
