Completed Hooker-Bassett Bedroom Set (ca. 1925)

Here are a few photos of the Hooker-Bassett bedroom set after the restoration was complete. One thing which is always striking about this kind of furniture is the contrast between the veneers. If you look back at the "before" photos you will see that this contrast was minimized with the use of a stain that was applied over the whole piece during the finishing process . One of the nice aspects of a hand applied finish is the ability to selectively stain and let the natural beauty of the wood shine out when possible.

The first three photos show the chest of drawers and the end tables (formerly a vanity) an the last two show the bed with the new Walnut side rails.
