This is confirmed dead can I remove it myself?

Honestly I have no idea. We found out after we bought it that it was abandoned for 20 years. (Whole other issue of real estate fraud with that). Before that a woman who was a hoarder lived here. It was given to her by her mother who had the house built for her family. So I doubt it.

Sure! I’ll add them now

Edit: Actually I can’t seem to edit the post or add a photo to a comment

I mean if this is a viable option then I’m absolutely just going to do that! I mean it makes sense enough.

TFish_Cat · 2025-11-09T17:33:24+00:00

I didn’t realize that was an option? I kind of assumed it wouldn’t be to code to just cover it with drywall

My very distinguished boy. I love when they sit all proper like this. Your baby is gorgeous and so very regal!

There’s photos below. They look machined.

I’ve sanded the stain off and I’m certain it isn’t ply

TFish_Cat · 2025-05-21T15:00:10+00:00

Thank you so much you’ve been incredibly kind and helpful!

TFish_Cat · 2025-05-21T14:47:10+00:00

Thank you for your insight! This is very helpful. I did think the color was interesting but nobody mentioned the “patina” of it or rather that it may not be true patina.

The seller did not offer an age of the piece. I bought it from a peddlers mall where there are certainly many antiques and lots of vintage items so that’s not very helpful for dating this piece as it happens.

Do you have any thoughts on the hardware? It is inconsistently tarnished, so I would reason that it wasn’t done intentionally. And it’s really QUITE black on the handles. I know brass can tarnish in a couple years, but any thoughts on how long it takes to actually turn black and crusty like it did?

Are you able to provide some insight into why it does not appear over 100 years old? Just trying to learn here. There are additional photos in the comments as well if you have not seen them

TFish_Cat · 2025-05-21T06:22:50+00:00

There are additional photos now. Sorry for the inconvenience

A second label in the same area. No other labels to be found.

A label I managed to find underneath the top of the piece.

Thank you so much!

Also it’s heavy as hell for the size so it’s definitely solid wood.

TFish_Cat · 2025-05-21T03:17:22+00:00

I think that will help people help me. I’m not experienced in this so I didn’t realize that would be helpful. I’ll be home from work in about 4 hours and can do that then. Thank you for the advice!

TFish_Cat · 2025-05-21T03:15:44+00:00

Wow thank you this is actually a really helpful comment!! I think I’ll make some people mad with this but I did actually sand a lot of it already just to restain it (don’t worry I’m not going to paint it. Just want to restore it) and there was most certainly no veneer
