This clothing chest sat in water during a shipment from Buenos Aires to Miami and sustained damage to both wood and finish. It consisted of cleaning with a bleach solution and distilled water.
Next were plenty of wood repairs, such as the scarfed angled wood piece to the older pack panel — and lots of pegging. Plenty of lacquer cleaning and polishing followed.
Then the iron hardware had to be cleaned, refinished, and re-nailed.
