Antique Furniture and Mechanical Antiques

I have always had a soft spot for old furniture.

Since I was 18 years old I have scoured flea markets, and second hand stores in search of unloved furniture.

I would make it my personal mission to "beautify" these poor forgotten pieces by any way I knew how. I would paint them, or strip them and stain them, and later I created a lot of painted furniture that sold extremely well in my store. This expanded to restoring antique furniture and anything that had wood cases - like some clocks, gramophones etc.

Now some pieces you touch and some you absolutely do not. Do your research before you attempt this on your own.
