My black buffet customer had a second piece of furniture she wanted

| Recliner After |
refinished, this antique recliner. This was an unusual piece since it had a brass bar that held the back of the chair in place. The way to turn this from a sitting position into a reclining position was to lower the bar manually. (This was built long before the days of La-Z-Boy!) It was made of solid tiger oak, very solid and sturdy.
We replaced the hinges with new brass ones. Someone had butchered the original hinges, cutting one of them to make it fit. We cleaned up the brass bar and polished it as well as the rest of the brass on the back of the chair. This piece had some great details, which were greatly accentuated upon completion.
