Eastlake Lamp Table

Eastlake Table Before
Eastlake Table After
Eastlake furniture is easy to identify by its unique carvings on the legs of tables and other parts of larger furniture.

This Eastlake table is likely early 1900’s and has seen its share of wear over the years. The legs were in pretty good condition, but the top had rings and dark water stains in addition to the usual scratches. At least it hadn’t been painted, since we’ve done a few Eastlake items that had paint and all that detail was hidden beneath the layers of paint. It’s always a joy to see the wood in all its glory on a lovely item of furniture such as this.

Luckily the stains and scratches weren’t too deep and could be sanded out. The top needed the most attention, so once the sanding was done, a new coat of stain brought the century old table back to life. Protected with three coats of polyurethane, the table top was once again renewed and will be well preserved for many years to come. This table was a perfect size to use as an accessory table between two loungers or as a corner table in a living room. Restoration of this table was a true pleasure as the original beauty of the wood was the crowning glory of the renovation.

  1. Thank you! I like to give each furniture refinishing job its own story. This allows people to understand the process that goes into these jobs. There is nothing better than experience when doing work such as this. It requires vision, innovation and a lot of patience. But after all is said and done, it’s really nice to see the hard work look amazing.
