***SOLD***
I knew I wanted this one as soon as I saw it! It was big and beautiful and I knew it could look even better. :) I had to come back for it a couple of days after I paid because there was no way the guy in the store and I were going to lift it into my van. It took my husband, dad, mom, and me to get it out of the van and into the house - this thing weighs a ton! It's solid wood with dovetail construction and a drexel on top of that. The top stripped like a dream, just came off like butter after 15 minutes sitting with Klean Strip on it. I stained the top a dark walnut, added 3 coats of poly for durability, and painted the body with a mix of ASCP French Linen, Graphite, and Old White. The back plates behind the glass knobs are original, but the rest of the original hardware I thought dated it so everything else except the knob on the door is new. This piece would be beautiful as a buffet or a dresser. Now to the before and afters:
