bil Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi We recently had a spillage (Reed diffuser liquid) onto our chest of draws and the lacquer is damaged. The chest of drawers is "oriental" style with a distressed effect. A glass tealight holder is actually stuck onto the surface. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how it can be repaired (and remove the candle holder)? whether it can be repaired or who could repair it? Many thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/19183-repair-to-lacquer-on-chest-of-draws-advice-andor-recommendations/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarot Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 If it is a valuable piece, then you need proffessional help, and it could work out exspensive. The glass being fused with the surface could be dangerous to remove yourself and cause further damage. If its a genuine chinese laquer finish you need someone who specializes in that genre. Good luck.

XXDECORATORXX Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 hi bill, i agree with tarot, if its a antique try phone roseburys auctionerrs they could probably give you more advice on someone who can assist you.

bil Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Thank you. It's not an antique; I bought it on sale from Lombok so paying alot for it to be repaired might cost more than replacing it. I agree that I won't be able to remove it myself and I suspect the whole surface will need stripping and re-lacquering.
