Anyone Know How To Restore Finish On Stag Minstrel Furniture

Hi. Does anyone know how to restore the finish on Stag Minstrel furniture? I think it must be some sort of lacquer finish - dark brown, soft sheen. I've got 2 bedside tables where the finish is 'crazed' ie. has masses of fine cracks and also some minor chips. I tried cellulose thinners which had no effect. Any advice would be much appreciated as it seems a shame to throw them away.

Depending on the condition you could try Balds Balsam,it restored a very badly treated victorian bannister.I also used it on a french polished table that was water marked it came up great.You have to treat it regularly.It's just a wipe on liquid that feeds the wood and the difference from the first use is tremendous.You can get it at Lakeland in two shades one for dark/redwoods the other for light woods costs £12.99.0

My mums have done the same. She only mentioned on Sunday she was going to sort them out. I'll ask her what she'll be doing, but I got the impression that it was sanding/relacquer effort.0

Thanks, ScoobieGirl (my thanks button seems to have disappeared for some reason). Would be interested to know what your mum does and how it turns out.0
