Restoring A Stunning Mahogany Console Table: Timeless Style Unveiled!
In this video I'll be restoring a beautiful mahogany console table. The table is simple yet elegant and was a joy to restore. The style makes it difficult to date as the simple lines have some similarities to the WW2 utility furniture in the UK which was itself inspired by some of the styles form the Arts and Crafts movement. However old it is, the style looks as fresh today as it ever did.

would make a unique trash binfor ur office
I guess it would!
The ray-flecking in the medullary rays of that quarter-sawn oak is spectacular, All of the grain detail is superb. I had never even heard of a Purdonium, and now you have shown me an impressive example. And £5.00! Excellent work, and attention to detail.
It certainly was, thanks 👍
Boxes like that were also used for storing flour.
Thanks for letting me know
My Grandfather (as well as several of his sons) were also Coal Miners - In Springhill, Nova Scotia, Canada. Grandad eventually succumbed to Black Lung.... in 1936. His sons mostly joined the Military in WW2, and stayed out of the mines afterwards. Very interesting and cool piece of Furniture!
Both my wife and I had grandfathers in the coal mines but the mines are now a thing of the past in the UK.
It's a pretty and useful piece Art Deco era?
I'd have said Edwardian rather than Art Deco but as the two eras were so close who knows? 😀
You can get latex masking fluid for Airfix type kits as well, the main difference to the watercolour version seems to be it’s often purple so you can see where you’ve painted it on. It works with acrylic, enamel and lacquer paints, so would also work with your finishes should anyone have trouble getting the watercolour version.
Thanks for the information 😃
You should'a stained it
Always a Pleasure to Watch You Work! First Time I've Heard the Word Perished When Talking About Worn Glue! Charles Dickens Would be Smiling!😊😉😋
Thank you! Cheers! To be fair I'm nearly old enough to have met him!!
Your cunning plan paid off, looks lovely!
Thanks, now and again I have a good idea!! 😄
Great simple lines with a nice finish. Should you ever have another small mahogany piece come your way would you consider using the red mahogany stain? My mothers family all had red mahogany furniture very popular in the US from about 1925-to 1940. Thanks. Narragansett Bay
Yes, absolutely. The only reason that I toned down the redness was the rest of the piece was browner and it looked odd.
Nice piece of furniture. Nice job restoring it. I understand it's purpose. Must have been a Godsend before there was central heat. Every room having a fireplace and cooking with coal. Nice period piece. 👍
You are right!
Lovely utility desk ❤
Glad you like it!
Pretty cool finished piece
Another excellent job - turned out fine again (as they say in a different context) Are you familiar with Thomas Johnson Furniture Restorations? You would find his site interesting.
I've watched a lot of his videos. He's good. 😊
Thanks, Tom Johnson was the inspiration for this channel
Beautiful restoration! Love the owl in the background! Was that a doll house I saw on your work bench? Thank you for narrating your video. It really enhances it! ❤
Yes! Thank you!
I've been eyeing off that dolls house. Maybe we can convince our host for a house tour.
@@laineymcd4074 Thanks, I've had a lot of comments about the dolls house so I'll mention it in the next video and see if people would like a specific video 😀
@@RhooseRestorations Thank you
Restored one of these last year for my husband and now I know what it’s called! Beautiful work
Thank you! 😊
Nice work putting new life into that simple table.
Thanks 👍
That table looks so fantastic now. I wish I knew enough about wood to identify species under a coat of finish when I’m at sales. Great job on this.
You and me both! I thought it may have been oak in the beginning!
@@RhooseRestorations The Table turned out fabulously. As for the identification of the wood, it's usually Identifiable by looking at the wood itself and knowing something of its provenance , like where it's from and when it was made. I watch a lot of wood centric youtube channels, Lots of them are logging Trembesi or the sawmills that cut it, and there are a TON of trees that fall under the umbrella of the identifier of the word "Teak".
Beautiful work ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice finish on that table, looks so good.
Thanks 👍
What a lovely job and useful addition to your fireplace area. Well done.
Thank you very much!
I thought it was a place men pissed in when dining or gambling and not wanting to leave the room. Although they are usually in a grand sideboard!
I think that this specimen belonged in a less 'elevated' home that one with a grand sideboard, besides, it would make the coal very difficult to light!
What is the brand name of the water color masking you used. Thanks. New subscriber.
Thanks for the question. It's Windsor & Newton Watercolour Medium - Art Masking Fluid
Never heard of it but it looks great!!
Neither had I a fortnight ago!
Love the grain in that oak, gorgeoud.
Thanks, it was hidden under that dark varnish for decades - I was qlad to uncover it!
That was a good idea to use the purdonium to hold firewood! It turned out nice!
Yes, it's turned out very useful 😊
Stunning. And, I love the patience you take when restoring pieces and your restoration techniques. ❤
Thank you very much!
They should start making those again for Narrowboaters.
Great idea!!
That's lovely! Can you give a list of the products you used. Thanks.
I'll pop them in description later
Well done!
Thank you!
Looks great! great video!
Thanks for watching
Its for storing coal beside the fireplace.
Wonderful job ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
Omgoodness! Soooooooooooooo Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much
You would think that the seller would have cleaned it out before selling it. 😢😢 Nice job restoring it.😊😊
I think so too!
Nice work. Do you know what kind of wood it's made of?
There is nothing obvious to give a clue but I think that the top may be elm
@@RhooseRestorationsAh. I really like the grain of the legs. Some nice colors
Nice piece and a skillful job bringing it back to life. Thank you for the video. You are in Wales? Someday I'll make it there. My grampa told me we came from Wales in the very early 1600's. Something to do with being at odds with the church, Greetings from Seattle Wa USA. Thanks again
Yes I'm in Rhoose, the southernmost point in mainland Wales!
I can’t help but think it would be great for storing socks…or potatoes
As my daughter would say - "Whatever floats your boat"!
My grandparents had one in the sitting room so I actually knew what this was. When their house was actually fitted with central heating in the late 1970’s they just kept it as an interesting objet d’histoire.
I knew what it was for, but never imagined that it would have such an exotic name!!
That linenfold! Gorgeous gorgeous!
It really is!
Wow cool piece Tim! That quarter sawn oak is beautiful. Also great video, I enjoyed watching! - Jamie
@FurnitureFlippa Thanks Jamie, I'd never heard of a purdonium until I looked for other examples on the internet! As you now know, I've started doing a voiceover so we'll see how things go - It seems to be going well so far!
@@RhooseRestorations I think the voiceovers are great. You must soon be at the monetization numbers? Great work!
@@FurnitureFlippa Yes, the initial requirements have been met and yesterday I signed up with AdSense so surely the RUclips millions will follow!!! 😇🤥
@@RhooseRestorations Hi Jamie and Tim, Voice overs are my preference when choosing what to watch. That way I can be doing something else whilst I watch without having to rewind to find what was written if I happen to glance away at the wrong moment. Personally I want to know what you are doing, why you are doing it and what are you using to do it? Listening to answers and commentary around that is better than listening to machines and trying to read. Adding a suggestion, just before the reveal, throw back to a couple of the before shots. An overall photo and one or two of the most noticeable defects. It reminds people what you started with before you refinished, thus making the refinished work pop.
@@laineymcd4074 Will do!
Nice job but why didn’t you do the bottom, the back and the inside??
Thanks, if you look at most vintage furniture this will be the case, even in the good old days if you couldn't see it it wasn't done.
What a clever design. The bucket could be filled in the cellar and then be popped into the cabinet, so no pouring of the coal to make dust rise in the house. Coal dust made so much work for our grandmas! Great job, interesting and will be handy for many things.❤ i will remember your trick with the water color masking fluid, thanks for that.
Thanks, I made the water colour thing up as I went along! Just needed to test it before I messed up 😁
