restoration of ancient Louis XVI desk from 1800 (a discovery in the drawer)

[@RenzoColameoIrlanda]

Trovare pezzi originali come questo; e' sempre piu' difficile e raro. Parola "d'esperto". Ancora complimentissimi per l'impeccabile restauro. Come dissi in precedenza; sarai ricompensato (non di com-pensato come diceva un mio vecchio amico). 🙂

Grazie mille, un complimento da un esperto è sempre piacevole. Sarai ricompensato (non di compensato) non l avevo mai sentita😅.

[@gerhard6105]

You did a nice job. Beter result then i hoped for. In my Belgium Ardennes village, the forester gave me old furneture to burn in the woodburner. One of them was an old kitchen table. Then i thought: i still need a salontable for in front of the sofa. I am more from the metal industry but it should nearly the same as wood. I lowered the legs ( in bad condition anyway). From the three top planks i took the worrst out and it would be to wide anyway. Then i shortened the side planks. I had never done something like that. I saved the wooden cut plugs (cut with a knife or so like how one sharpens a pencil with a knife). You drilled them out. I had to make new square holes in the shortened side beams. I put it all together and put anti bug stuff on it and wax for protection. So now a have wooden salontable from around 1900 done by me for free and i got some nice comments about it.

A very good restoration of that sad old desk.Congratulations.

Many thanks,,

[@carriebtc]

For sure not a "Louis XVI desk from 1800", but definitely a good restoration. Probably a late 19th Century, or early XX table (Its hardware reveals its age). Another 100-year extension in life. Great work. Congratulations. Cheers

[@aleksandratomic3070]

But the nails look like early 19.ct.

Later they had head, almost like today

[@larrysorenson4789]

Exactly what I thought. It seems to lack any hint of decorative style and probably was in a very modest home or shop.

Louis XVI of France was long gone by 1800. I’m sure he would have appreciated the nod. When I see furniture as old as this I wonder what it has seen in its lifetime. I love restoration, it gladdens my heart. I would much rather an old, well loved piece with history than a modern piece. This just reaffirms my belief. Thank you 😊

[@massimolacivita4748]

Un bell'intervento di restauro, rispettoso dell'originalità del pezzo. Il che ti fa perdonare per il titolo "acchiappaclick"😄 Non è assolutamente un Luigi XVI, non è dell'800 (come dimostrano le maniglie e il loro sistema di ancoraggio, tipico degli anni 20 del '900) e - a giudicare dalla qualità del legno e dalla tecnica costruttiva - non è mai stato un pezzo di pregio ma un mobile popolare. Ma questo non sminuisce le tue capacità nè la bellezza del lavoro finito.

Nice result, but I'm not sure such a piece is worth the work that was put into the restoration. It's clearly not an 18th century piece, more likely late 19th/early 20th, can be found for about 30 euros in flee markets.

You should have consulted a professional restorer. You ruined the piece.

[@melefth]

He certainly didn't ruin it: he restored it in the same 'let's do this but no farting around' style it was made. I pick up a lot of stuff off the kerb. but I'm not sure I'd have bothered with this one. I could make one identical to it without too much hassle.

[@geoffb108]

This was a restoration not a rebuild. Any restoration is better than leaving it to rot or burn. Not every old piece of history needs to be shown in a museum . Get your hand out of your pants and face reality or just disappear into your dusty depressing museum for wankers.
