<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 221899, member: 37"]Sure that mirror really goes with this? Pic is so small that I can't really tell. This looks like a typical server for a dining room but not with a mirror like that. Likely walnut veneers and solids with lesser wood stained to match. You may need to put some color back in to this to get a good look. Once the color is right, you would need to put some kind of clear-coat for protection. On old furniture, I prefer a tung-oil based varnish. It can be purchased outright or you can make your own (equal parts oil-based varnish, tung-oil, and mineral spirits).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
