Finish Options (Made to Order)
As-Is Condition (Ready to Use)
This piece is being offered in its current, original condition and has not been refinished or restored.
It is structurally sound and fully functional, but will show visible signs of age and wear consistent with antique furniture. This may include surface scratches, minor chips, finish wear (including on the top), and variation in tone and sheen.
This particular dresser displays some inconsistency in the original finish across portions of the drawer fronts, as well as a small mark on the top surface. We have included close-up photographs of these areas so buyers can accurately evaluate the condition prior to purchase.
While we lightly clean interiors for usability, the piece has not undergone our full restoration process. As a result, drawer interiors may retain the natural characteristics of antique furniture, including subtle age-related scent.
Please note:
• The finish is original and not newly applied
• It should not be expected to have a uniform or like-new appearance
• Close-up photographs are included as part of the description and accurately represent the current condition
This option is ideal for those who appreciate authentic character and patina or for clients who may wish to refinish the piece to their exact specifications.
All as-is pieces are final sale and priced accordingly.
Tinted Lacquer Finish
A professional sprayed lacquer finish where the lacquer itself is custom tinted to your selected Sherwin-Williams® or Benjamin Moore® color. Unlike standard household paint, tinted lacquer creates a smoother, more refined furniture-grade finish with exceptional durability and depth.
This finish gives the piece the elevated look of a high-end factory or designer-painted furniture finish while preserving the details, proportions, and craftsmanship of the original construction.
Natural Lacquer Finish
The entire dresser is professionally stripped to reveal the natural wood tone before being sealed in clear lacquer.
This finish highlights the natural grain, movement, and character of the wood while creating a timeless organic aesthetic. Because every antique is unique, natural variation in color and grain should be expected.
Custom Stained Finish
The dresser is stripped and stained in your choice of light, medium, or dark stain before being sealed with clear lacquer to create a rich, heirloom-quality finish.
This option includes a one-color stain finish designed to enhance the natural beauty and depth of the wood while maintaining a cohesive overall appearance.
Additional custom toning, layered glazing, antiquing, cerusing, or specialty stain enhancements may be available for an additional cost depending on the desired final look. These enhancements are discussed individually at the beginning of the refinishing process.
For refinished options, any necessary minor repairs are completed while preserving the authentic character of the piece.
Drawer interiors are thoroughly cleaned and resealed as part of the refinishing process.

Timeline & Process
Each piece is individually refinished in our studio using a hands-on, multi-step process. I personally handle all refinishing, communication, and shipping coordination to ensure every detail meets our standards.
Timelines provided at checkout or within this listing are estimates only and not guaranteed. Completion and delivery may vary based on refinishing queues, material considerations, and shipping availability—particularly for less frequently traveled delivery areas.
Because we work with independent furniture carriers, shipping schedules are dependent on route availability and logistics outside of our control. We reserve the right to adjust timelines as needed to ensure each piece is completed and delivered properly.
If you are working within a specific or time-sensitive deadline, please reach out prior to purchasing so we can confirm whether accommodations are possible.
