Here it comes mahogany rustic sideboard from the 40s era, purchased in Lisbon. Initially this item was in a bad shape: signs of termites, interior wood part didn't have any finishing, the inside shelves were glued, big crack from the back part, it was repolished in a bad way, so that on top one could see stripes from a varnish. I decided to paint it inside, using different colors that reminds me of art deco style, on bottom I glued mirrors for to have a "deep" effect when opening the door. Also I took out all the varnish and repolished it with shellac. Big crack-hole was filled with mastic. Metal accessories were polished till shine.
