Restoring an 18th Century Armoire

,

I’ve recently taken on the task of restoring a beautiful 18th-century armoire that was found in a dusty old barn. It’s fascinating to see the original craftsmanship, but it’s also a challenge to preserve its historical integrity while repairing the damage it’s sustained over the years. Anyone else working on similar projects? I’d love to hear your experiences and any tips you might have.
