I’ve had this for years and never really been sure what it was meant for.
It needs restoration so the other day I stripped one of the drawer fronts.
It revealed a very pale wood, it had been over painted with a horrible brown stuff - pull handles as well.
I’m not sure what timber it is so any ideas on what it is or the best way of finishing it would be welcomed.
I was a bit surprised as the doors and the small drawers behind are a Mahogany type of wood.
As can be seen in the photos the drawers are all different sizes ( the two bottom right ones are perfect for Rum bottles ) some have inlayed bearers half way up for false bottoms.
I thought it might be out of a ship or shop but don’t know.
Thanks, Merlin
