Louis XV slant-front desk stamped HEDOUIN (Restoration complete)

Ebénisterie Mathieu VATH

Remember that arched desk? Well, it's finished. It wasn't easy, but it's back to its former glory.

All that remains is to install the lock escutcheons on the drawers and the leather before it is returned to its owner.

I remade a large part of the legs using sawn violet wood. I cut it to the correct thickness, scraped it, sanded it, and oxidized it before gluing. This way, there was no need to sand the entire piece of furniture, which would have damaged it further.
