This is a 2 piece Lane china hutch. Brought to us in rough but not “terrible” condition. The main areas of concern are missing sections of the edge-banding and other pieces of veneer. Two of the doors on the base would not shut properly and both shelves are missing from the top piece. The finish arrived nearly non existent. The entire thing was able to be stripped with steel wool and lacquer thinner. Once we got the old finish off and cleaned the piece, we were pleasantly surprised to see that there wasnt any visible sun damage to the top of the base. we removed all the doors, cleaned all of the brass accent pieces, sanded the whole piece, and used wood filler on the spots with missing veneer. If the missing sections were larger, we would use pieces of veneer to patch the empty spots but on smaller sections like these, we are happy to use filler and test our graining skills to match the existing veneer. We used 50/50 denatured alcohol and shellac seal coat as a sealer followed by target coatings 6000 production lacquer. Like most MCM furniture, we would need to tone the piece to avoid a two-tone look. As you can see in the photos below, the natural color before toning was not going to be the desired look. After two toning coats, we were happy with the color and the whole piece ties together.
