Birdseye Maple dresser 1910s 20s tlc for resto

Boy this has great markings in the woodgrain! But it is a big hot mess. Old refinishing project I never completed that the last owner messed up.

Made in the early 1900s of Birdseye maple. The case, sides and top are real sturdy and nice, but the drawer faces need help. You can see where the last owner over-sanded them, which caused the shapes on the top drawers to round out a little bit, loosing their crisp corners. The center drawer has big chipped veneer areas filled in crudely and touched up with the wrong color stain.

It's got good bones. But it needs some real love to make it perk again.

The mirror frame is a similar size, complements the style and same era but is not original to the piece- I had considered a "marriage" to make it complete at one time, and these were to be my "before" photos. The mirror frame is optional. It has no glass (as far as I know- these things have been in storage for YEARS!!) and it has some chips off the edges. It's loose and needs to be reglued. I'm not sure if the finish is painted or a thick varnish.

The condition is rough but it is sturdy and structurally sound. It should be ideal for your refinishing job or DIY chalk paint project.
