The Furniture Bible: Everything You Need to Know to Identify, Restore & Care for Furniture -- Christophe Pourny, Hardcover
From antiques to midcentury pieces, family heirlooms to funky flea-market finds, Christophe Pourny is ready to teach readers everything they need to know about the South of France and history of furniture--as well as how to restore, update, and care for their furniture.
The heart of the book is an overview of Pourny's favorite techniques--ceruse, vernis anglais, and water gilding, among many others--with full-color step-by-step photographs to ensure that readers can easily replicate each refinishing technique at home. Pourny brings these techniques to life with a chapter devoted to real-world refinishing projects, from a veneered table to an ebonized desk, a gilt frame to a painted northern European hutch.
Rounding out this comprehensive guide is care and maintenance information, including how to properly clean leather, polish hardware, fix a broken leg, and replace felt pads, as well as recipes to make your own wax, shellac, varnish, stain, and more.
