Restoration to a Georgian Corner cupboard .

Early furniture goes through so many trials , being made specically for a certain market in a certain way out of certain timber you'd expect it just to be polished lovingly and just show just general wear and tear .

 Not all are so lucky as we get to see every day , a Georgian Oak corner cupboard was brought to us for restoration not only to the moldings which have fallen off due to the glue line drying out and crumbling but the back boards which needed to be stripped back to the original timber taking away 200 years of paint as we went down the layers of paint and wall paper we managed to travers each generations in colour . you can see for yourself on our restoration page at our website www.snowdoniaantiques.co.uk .
