Restored Broyhill Mcm Dresser....



I actually have the matching chest in the previous post.
Rare Broyhill Mid Century Modern Dresser
in the Accent line.
Before above and below.
We did a full restoration on this. Had more damage
than I felt comfortable with.
Chips on the back from the mirror (which has sold).


Chipped veneer on sides.


Chipped and split on top corner.


We stripped it all down after repairs.
Wood is a different on the middle drawers
and cabinet doors.  So the stain came out darker.
I use full stain and don't mess with toners.  Too much time
to work with that and I would have to charge higher on my price.
Not going to do that, not worth it to me.





Repaired cracks.


I stained in dark walnut.  


This has 12 drawers total.





Sealed in water based sprayed semi gloss.




Painted hardware gold, remember it was silver.  


Gold looks way better.  Silver looked too office type.
I love the darker middle wood, it sets it apart from the rest.








SOLD!

Broyhill Mid Century Modern Highboy Dresser....



Restored this vintage 1967 Broyhill 
Mid Century Modern Highboy Dresser.
It's from the Accent line.  Rare and hard to 
find piece/  I was going to just clean it up.
Before above and below.


But it had more damage than I thought.  
A clean up wouldn't have helped at all.
If it was just minor finish issues, yeah a clean up would work.
But chipped veneer and large chips..we had to restore.



So, I decided to do a full restoration on it.
We repaired all the damaged areas.
Missing veneer, bent split top edges.
Worn finish on top.
Stripped after repaired.








Then I stained it in dark walnut.




Painted hardware in gold because I didn't 
like the silver original color.  Gold just pops
against dark walnut.






Sealed in a semi gloss water based sprayed 
sealer.






Purchased new gold screws to match the gold.
Remember the originals where silver.
