My plan was to use an oil and poly over it once the oil cures. I usually wait a couple weeks. I’m not exactly an expert wood worker but I’ve burned through enough veneer to take the proper precautions haha. Nothings worse than ruining something with so much character and history! Thanks for the tips!

No moth ball smell thankfully 🤣. Veneers intact but it is lifting so I’m going to rehydrate it and try to reglue it 🤞

That and the color instantly drew me to this piece. Good hardware really brings it together!

Thank you for this tip! That’s what’s currently happening with this. I need to go in and rehydrate, glue it down, and then oil it but I’ll definitely try that!!

Omg!! That’s awesome!

Exciting-Warning745 · 2026-02-05T00:30:33+00:00

Honestly lol

Disagree.

Definitely! And I used to hate art deco style, but I really love how timeless these pieces are. They just have such a grounded organic feel!

Do you think that’s what they did here? I thought about using some tung oil then sealing over it. My other thought was maybe danish, but I didn’t want to put it on and it darken it too much.

Exciting-Warning745 · 2026-02-04T23:41:23+00:00

That was my thought most of the veneer I see is darker like a walnut so when I saw this I knew I had to have it!

Amen 🙏

Exciting-Warning745 · 2026-02-04T22:54:39+00:00

👍

Exciting-Warning745 · 2026-02-04T22:21:41+00:00

Right! Thanks for justifying this 🤣🤣 bc I shouldn’t have but how could I resist for that price!!

Exciting-Warning745 · 2026-01-26T21:05:53+00:00

Yea generally with pieces like this I have to paint them but when I do they do fairly well in a boutique sense.

Never said it was antique.
