Rusty Pearls

A pair of vintage intaglios in gilded frames available at the

Before and after. I used New Life Furniture Masque and Kramers Blemish Clarifier to clean years and years of Danish Oil, Old English, and whatever else was used on this that covered the grain painting on this 1830s tallcase clock

Last week we brought home a clock that some would think was a hot mess because it was. The door was off the top and missing glass. It was missing the center post of the bonnet top, the crown or whatever it’s called that’s between the top posts and the finials. It was also very dark from years of someone coating the wood in Danish Oil or Old English but i could see it was grain painted. I spent days cleaning off that crap before waxing it and my husband made a center post and a crown. He also got it working. I bought 3 antique brass finials off eBay that haven’t come yet but yesterday I remembered i bought a set of 3 last year at an estate sale that work. Now i think I’m keeping this antique early 1800s grain painted tallcase clock for a while before i sell it.

It was time for another of my cowgirl dressers and i choose Vera McGinnis for this antique chest of drawers. This is available now in my booth at the in 👢⭐️👢
