How to restore vintage Parker dining table?

Hi guys, I scored this AMAZING original parker dining table, she's had the same owners since the 1960's, but she's well worn. The varnish really needs to be completely removed, a good sand, and polished back up again. It appears better in photos than what it is 😕 and yes I will be recovering the seats so they don't look like nana's curtains haha.
I am looking for the best products/advice to undertake this project? Send help - intermediate renovator :smile: IMG_2822.jpg IMG_2821.jpg

You're certainly not wrong there @muirmade, your restored furniture looks absolutely amazing!

The new upholstery looks fantastic with the beautifully restored timber.

 

Thank you so much for sharing your finished work. I hope it will remain a focal point in your home for many years to come.

Good Evening @muirmade 

You have done a beautiful job of restoring the furniture :smile: Somehow I have managed to miss the roll of steps but it was GOLD find them all :smile: Would love to see a project put together of how you stepped through it. My Mum has a set almost like yours of Parker furniture and yep shows the same time wear as yours did.

 

Worth the effort!

Hi @muirmade 

Just to clarify you achieved this result just using Feast Watson Floor Cleaner followed by the Surface Restore (& just following instructions on can)?

If so I think you have just answered the question I came here to research & yes it does look amazing!

Cheers

Donald
