Victorian Pedestal Inlaid Sewing Table
Description: As the photograph shows this item came in with no base pedestal or feet. My cabinet maker was able to salvage a base pedestal of similar age from another item and then made the feet from mahogany in a much simpler style than would have originally been used, but which is more sturdy and suitable for the customers requirements.
Once the repairs had been carried out, I stripped off the old polish from the upper pedestal and top and sealed the inlay to ensure the natural colour was preserved. As the new legs were lighter and the salvaged pedestal was darker, I mixed 3 different colours of stain to blend the feet, the pedestal and the top together. I ebonised the top edge of the table, in keeping with the traditional method and style of decoration and false grained the top to hide any faults and imperfections. The item was finally finished off with a cutting wax to achieve a satin finish.
