Louis XVI–Style Trefoil Guéridon
Restoring inlay, brass gallery, and finish
This three-lobed French side table came to us with lifting veneer, a loose brass gallery, and a finish that had faded the inlay almost from view. We brought back the depth of the mahogany and reattached the gallery, so the sunburst and scrollwork inlay can be seen clearly again.
