<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 246242, member: 37"]Agree, 1920s-30s European art deco sideboard/buffet. Could be Belgian or Dutch. Oak veneer. The top damage is not so great that refinishing should take out those water marks. Might need to do a little sanding. Just be careful not to sand through the veneer. The missing pieces can be painstakingly spliced back in but it takes a lot of patience and a little skill to do it. Many people fill the gaps with putty but it never really looks right. I would say leave it as-is or splice veneer back in. Since most of the damage is to that one arched section, You could try something creative such as removing all the veneer from that area and re-veneering in a contrasting wood. You could refinish the handles to match. This would also give you the raw materials to splice veneer into the few remaining areas that still need it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
