We found a China Cabinet (a number 6 according to the label, made by the Hooker Basset company. I was also struck by misaligned veneers that should have been exact mirror images! The drawer on this china cabinet is very similar to the drawers on your bedroom set.<br /><br />The piece had been subjected to a very badly applied varnish at some point. Like you, I decided to strip all of the finishes; I then applied a simple red chestnut stain followed by a Tung Oil finish (three coats). <br /><br />One interesting thing about this cabinet is the door latch. It is made of brass. An ornate, slim handle through which a hexagonal button protrudes. Pushing on the button moves a hook on the other side of the door that catches and "uncatches" something. The "something" is missing, though there are holes in the appropriate pace to have secured it originally. Have you come across such a latch? Can you tell me what the "something" is that is missing?<br /><br />Best regards, Chris CimarustiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
