The Fettling Fairies

Description

A substantial Victorian sideboard in Mahogany. In the base, two outer cupboards with curved fronted doors, two central deep drawers. The top has two glazed display cupboards either side of the central oval mirror. We have added panel mouldings to the curved doors and drawers. The sideboard doors originally had inlaid marquetry, but unfortunately this was cracking when we took charge. We filled and painted the doors to resolve this, but found that this left the front of the base too plain. We therefore sourced some attractive beading and fitted this to both the doors and the drawers. We completed the look by adding a French Stencil.

Primed, undercoated then two top coats in acrylic water based satin paint, the colour is Spell Grey. We waxed with Carnauba to protect and leave a soft, silky finish. All the cupboard and drawer pulls are original. The top drawer has a cutlery lift which was covered with green baize/felt , this had suffered the ravages of time so we removed it and replaced with new black felt.

In the base of the right hand cupboard is a drawer lined with original thin lead sheet.
