Hi guys, I picked up this wardrobe and will it be my first real project. It's a very solid piece with no veneer. As I know nothing (yet) about dating furniture; there is something interesting about it. I discovered newspaper visible beneath damaged parts the mirror. I can't make it out properly, but is definitely talking about Germany's movements and ww11. So, maybe its closer in age to pre-war 1930's than 1940's. Perhaps art deco with art nouveau influences? Can't wait to read the whole article when the mirror is removed! I do have some questions before I start.
1. Advice on removing the mirror and products to restore it.
2. It's very dirty with no varnish to be seen. There are watermarks (storage in an old shed for more than 60 yrs.) Do I sand, and what grade of paper required?
3. Best products (shellac colour) for restoration.
4. The handles are very rusty, advice on replace or how to restore.
So many questions and so much to learn.... Thanks so much, any wisdom, advice, links etc is most appreciated.
Regards Vonnie
