Restauration de manteau de cheminée ancien – Belfast, Irlande, époque victorienne

Original Washstand (pictured above)

History of the piece: 55 years ago a fire tore through the family farm house in Breckenridge, Quebec. A bunch of furniture was saved before the flames consumed the house. The matching washstand (shown above) was saved, but only the drawers were taken from the dresser.
