Well... I have mixed feelings on how this one turned out. It was truly my hope to get this very close to how it would have looked originally, but the damage was just too much. Can't win 'em all!
Short of replacing the veneer on the top, my only real option was to make the best of a lousy situation and try to make this piece usable again, even if I DID need to make it a bit darker than it would have been.
I'm not sure what happened to this piece in its past life, but hopefully in its NEW life, it will be taken care of and loved, and avoid the landfill. That's really what my main goal ended up being.

I still think you should have some little plates made that can be attached to each piece that read:"Restored by Angie at Transcend Furniture Gallery". Maybe also leave a space for you to add the date it was redone? Decades in the future pieces redone by you will demand premium prices and be highly valued because of the quality of your work.

Agree completely. Artists sign their work and Angie is a consummate artist of the highest order. I have never seen restoration work of this caliber on any other channel. I mean, she finishes the inside corners and bottoms that no one ever sees. It's a miracle what she can pull off.

@andreakirkby Жыл бұрын

It's also an interesting aspect of provenance. For instance I have seen repairers' names pencilled in French clock cases - this kind of history builds up and makes the objects richer and more interesting.

@lorelleblackwell8556 Жыл бұрын

@@andreakirkby I hadn't even thought of that about clocks and watches! My aunt's husband was a WWII vet that lost part of one leg mid-thigh. He was a deep sea diver, retrieving bodies and parts from underwater crashes. No longer being able to do the physical work, and prosthetics being what they were in the 1940s, he needed a new profession and went to school to build and repair clocks and watches. Every piece he worked on was signed and dated in very tiny lettering and numbers. Decades later when I inherited a very expensive watch from a different aunt I took it in to be cleaned and the young man was stunned to use the jewelers loop and see the numerous notations made inside the watch back cover when my aunt had taken it to be worked on in some manner over the decades. I still have the watch and it's almost 100 years old. Angie is a skilled artisan and should be signing her work as the old craftsmen did.

"As close to the factory finish as possible"??? Most of the time your finish ends up looking better than the factory finish. You always manage to bring out the woodgrain better than the original finish did. I'm totally amazed with this table and even with the remaining dings and stains, it almost looks better than original again.

We are our own worst critics. You did an absolutely wonderful job restoring this. Someone who wants to buy refurbished furniture won't mind a stain or two or an imperfection. They probably won't even see it and if they do, they want to have those flaws because it tells a story. But you see them because you worked so closely on it. Don't be so hard on yourself. Even if the finish was totally trashed and you had to paint the whole thing, it still would have turned out beautiful.

And besides, it's us." It turned out SO BEAUTIFUL 😍. I'D BE PROUD TO OWN IT. And, I use coasters btw. 😃 💜

This table turned out gorgeous! You say that you wanted to return it to factory finish, but honestly if you had you would have erased the “patina of its life” that makes it the unique piece of furniture that it is. There is also something to be said about purchasing a piece of furniture that has been previously used/loved. I try to keep my furniture in as good of shape as I possibly can, but I live in a home, not a museum. There are some things that I am very precious about, but I try to keep in mind that everything that gets used will eventually show its use and that’s okay. Don’t be so hard on yourself, you are one of the best furniture refinishers/restoration person out there. Keep up the good work and give yourself some praise and credit. You deserve it!

It's not a silk purse but I rate it as a rayon purse from a sow's ear. What is the value of a piece of furniture made out of glued sawdust covered by a very thin veneer?

@TranscendFurnitureGallery Жыл бұрын

More than 3/4 of mid century furniture was constructed this way, to save money AND valuable resources (particularly exotic woods like mahogany and teak), and thank goodness they did it this way or there'd be none left. It may not appeal to you, but it makes the furniture extremely stable from a wood movement perspective, where solid wood is very prone to cracks and checks when it expands and contracts with temperature and humidity. It allows MORE furniture to be made from the same exotic wood, rather than one single temperamental piece of furniture, and it makes it more affordable for both the maker and the consumer. Have a look at retail prices of this furniture and the fact that they sell like hotcakes.. and then ask where the value is, haha. It's not just mid century though. A LOT of antiques with stunning woodgrain are also veneers. Veneer doesn't mean cheap. And the pressed wood of the mid century era is not the same as the 1980s and 1990s junk. It's a very important question you asked though, so thank you for bringing it up! Not many people actually realize just how much furniture is made this way... most of it has been passed down in families as "solid wood" and it's not. There's just a misunderstanding of how and why manufacturers did this. The 80s are different. lol That's when factory furniture when to Sh*t. lol

I am deeply impressed. I see the usual comments about manufactured wood cores and veneers, it's impressive how little people actually know about mid-century furniture. Thank you for sharing your hard work and the great looking results!

@TranscendFurnitureGallery Жыл бұрын

THANK YOU! Yes, it is very true- a LOT of people don't realize that a massive portion of furniture they think is 'solid wood' isn't, and why that isn't always a bad thing. And also that it often has no bearing on the literal value of these pieces. I think the 1980s weaker pressed wood and melamine tops sort of tainted everyone's view of prior/older manufactured substrates, that are actually leaps and bounds better than that stuff...AND found in almost all quality mid century furniture.

My childhood was marked, in a good way, by the yearly sale at House of Denmark. We kids would go with our mom, cruising the warehouse for just the perfect teak piece that we could afford and take home and throw a piece of Formica 1970 ugly onto the curb. We were clawing our way up to tasteful one warehouse sale at a time. Twice a year, we wiped down all the teak furniture , flipped the shelves on the book cases to prevent sagging, and lavished the pieces with teak oil. Excess was lovingly buffed off. The smell of teak oil is the smell of happiness to me. It's ambition, beauty, loveliness, and family solidarity all in a can. We were a family that had Nice Things, and took Good Care of them. Not in a snobby way, but in a way that our little single mom family deserved beauty.
