Brunswick Brilliant Novelty pool table
A major restoration of a Brunswick Brilliant Novelty pool table, circa 1885. This piece was very badly water damaged, with many loose and missing veneers and inlays, and three inches had been cut from the legs. Richard Gatty patched the veneer and missing inlay, and Nicole Smith filled all the remaining damage, glued or ironed down any loose veneers, and touch up all the repairs so they disappeared. The finish is shellac, finished with wool and wax.
