AMAZING RESTORATION OF VINTAGE TEA CART | Furniture Restoration| What is Under THAT Paint?

I purchased this yellow tea cart at an estate sale. It was painted yellow to match the dining room set with a round table, 4 chairs and a small hutch. As a set it actually look bright and cheerful.There is just no way I would ever strip a table and 4 chairs so that was not an option for me to purchase! I hate refinishing dining room sets.
However, this little tea cart had potential. It had been moved to the covered patio by the owner when the wheels fell off. It was dusty and dirty.
The brass was extremely tarnished but the wood appeared to be in good shape.
I had an idea of what might be under that paint but was not certain.I guess it was out of curiosity more than anything that I purchased this tea cart.
What is under that yellow paint?

Thank goodness you saved it. Beautiful.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thank you! 😊

[@holly5791]

You found a real gem! I can't imagine why anyone would want to cover that beautiful wood detail. Thankfully, you rescued it, or it could have ended up with chalk paint over it. 🤦‍♀️ Congratulations on reaching 11,000k subscribers! You really deserve it! 🥳🎉🎈

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thanks for watching!!! Glad you liked it!

Agree with you.

[@jeruzaalvesdesousamatosjer7689]

Ficou maravilhoso❤

[@leevincent3960]

So glad that you found the beauty underneath the yellow paint. Stunning result! Just a thought: It looks like a wine cart, since it has bottle slots, and Italians aren't known for their tea drinking. ;-)

[@TheCraftyMagnolia]

Wow. I made an audible gasp when I saw what was under that heinous yellow paint!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

LOL! I think I had the same response when I first saw it.

[@Somewhereintime22]

Talk about finding a hidden treasure…gorgeous!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Yes! I was so happy to find this inlaid wood!!!

[@jewels7291]

Oh my gosh! Now I wonder what the table and chairs looked like under their paint! That is a gorgeous tea cart, and I cannot imagine anybody wanting to paint over it, but I guess maybe at that time the inlay wood was not in style. Gorgeous restoration!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thank you- glad you liked it!

Wow, wow and wow! I cannot believe that quality of craftsmanship was painted over. I kept waiting for you to find a horrible gouge or split that they'd covered up.

[@lynnadkins1079]

It’s unbelievable that someone would believe it was a good idea to hide that beautiful masterpiece of art with that ghastly yellow

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Agreed! thanks for watching!

[@ashleyosborne6239]

H O L Y SMOKES!! What an incredible piece of furniture!! I’m still just blown away that they painted it. Don’t get me wrong, I hand paint furniture, use waxes, blend colors and put transfers on pieces, often to give the look like the inlay gives on this one. Also, you were spot on by knocking off that high gloss shine and putting satin on instead. Just gorgeous!💜

[@judithburke1539]

What if those designs were on the table and chairs as well??? It boggles my mind!!!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thanks Ashley! I agree.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

The table and chairs were a different style of maple. No inlaid wood in sight.

[@rhiannadelerres7500]

U knew it was worthy! U have good eye! Beautiful.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

When I purchased it I did not have a clue but when I researched Italian Tea Carts some came up with the inlaid so I had hope!!!

[@williammccormack6295]

Awesome find under that horrid yellow I,m a furniture restoration guy retired but continue to restore Antique and Vintage furniture from my home workshop I too found beautiful inlay with crest under brown paint I was astonished to think some would paint over beautiful inlay When finished French polished it was even more beautiful the customer couldn't believe her luck Antique glory box McCormack and Son,s restorations Qld Australia

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I was scared as I refinished it because I really could find no source that said, "yes you can sand it and spray it with polyurethane and it will look great!" The stain I used says it is to be used on raw wood so I was guessing that I could stain over poly with it. The GEL stain I have says you have to wait 3 days for it to dry and I wanted to get this video out yesterday and did not want to wait 3 additional days to release it.

[@kblack8770]

WOW!!! Who knew what a beauty was under all that paint? From an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan. I love your work and look forward to your videos. You have a great eye for refinishing pieces. Have a great week.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thanks so much for your comments!

[@jeanclaudeangri1108]

OK I have to say that this is your best video yet. Should’ve bought that dining room set.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Oh thanks Jean Claude! Have you ever stripped a dining room set???? I would rather cut my wrists!!! LOL!!

[@janeword3099]

My mother had a very similar Italian tea cart for years. I was never much of a fan but after seeing how you changed the high gloss to a satin finish, I see how beautiful it can be. Thank you!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

It is amazing how great it looks without the glossy shine! Who knew THAT was under that paint?

[@kathleenhernandez3772]

Oh my goodness what beautiful piece you did a fabulous job on this piece

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thank you! Cheers!

This was so gorgeous! How could anyone paint over such a gem?!

Right? Glad I was able to restore it!

[@candacelytle9113]

WOW ! Gorgeous!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Thank you! 😊

[@debehmann8791]

Makes me wonder what was under the dining room table. Did it seem to match the tea cart? What are the circles on the bottom shelf for? Maybe wine bottles? Beautiful work again!

[@NailahRoberts]

It's for alcohol, it's a drinks cart😀

[@judithburke1539]

I agree with you Deb. It would be worth the work and time to redo the dining set also. The two together would bring more money.

[@sidmelucci3675]

That occurred to me, too!

[@pleinecampagne4504]

Table à aperitif.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

The dining room set was a different style. However, painting it bright yellow made them match (?)

Hiding under all that yellow paint was beautiful wood work. wow.

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Yes it was!

[@aninasalerno-aita2341]

The moment I saw that cart I thought it was Italian. I remember seeing them for sale in Sorrento in 1979 when I was visiting there. How anyone could paint over that is a mystery. So happy you were there to rescue their beautiful work with your TLC. Bravissima!!

[@FurnitureFlippingForProfit]

Me too! I had a feeling that there was inlaid wood under there for the same reason!
