I think these pieces get wrecked before they come back into fashion. I remember the second-hand shops being full of MCM for peanuts. Students bought them for flats and painted them.

In general I do not like this style, but this is beautiful. Looks almost modern. It still looks orange, but goes well with your floor. Have you ever used household bleach? Also any stain that says "ash" will tone down the orange. I will sometimes tint my first topcoat with the opposite of orange which is blue. TINT as in very faintly. This does wonders and not detectable.

BEAUTIFUL work. Unusual piece. I liked the silver, but paint on hardware, to me looks fake AF, and looks like... well, paint. Besides, some of the hardware could have been some other metal. May I suggest that really cheap fake gold leaf? This at first looks very shiny, but if you wait before covering the with the no tarnish varnish, it does look close to brass. Or you could expose it to ammonia, and that will age it fast, as in within minutes. Also, if a magnet won't stick to the hardware, it probably is solid brass. The gold leaf is hard to do at first, but you will get good at it, fast. It goes from a shine to a sheen. Thanks and subscribed and liked. You don't sound like London, maybe Wales?

Such a stunning transformation, David! That was quite a bit of orange to get rid of, and sure enough, there was a beauty underneath. The gold hardware was spot on; chrome would have not only been wrong time period, but just plain tacky. Sending big snuggles for Daisy and her sore foot. I'm glad she got a trip to the doggie-doctor and hope she'll be doing her wiggles and dances the next time we see her. Thank you for a real knock-out piece of furniture. It's going to be quite an asset for its new home. Cheers from Oklahoma!!!
