French 18th Century Corner Curio Cabinet
Restoring and repairing antique furniture is not an easy task. But with a lot of patience and dedication you learn a lot and gain new skills. This process shows how I repaired a French 18th century corner curio cabinet.
Check out the project gallery and video (below) to see the results. MQRS documents all the work with photos showing the process from start to finish. This keeps customers better informed of the progress of their orders.
