[QUOTE="Poisonivy, post: 4447483, member: 2417"][ATTACH=full]382258[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382259[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382261[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382262[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382263[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382264[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382265[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382266[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382267[/ATTACH] Hi all, I haven't posted anything in a while, it's got harder to find things, I've just finished this one though Everything was missing, it had been completely stripped out ....... So ....... Inside ... Replaced leather around the inside lid and dyed it... Replaced missing sections and papered and painted them ... Made pin cushions ... Covered replacement thimble holders and lid with Georgian leather ...... The silk Georgian picture is from another box and was never original to it, it's perfect for this box... Relined the drawer and painted the paper ... Outside ....... The side handles had lost their brass rings, I eventually found some ..... The drawer had no handle, I had one ..... I dyed the leather as seen .... I think that covers it, though there were lots of little things that needed doing, now hidden :)[/QUOTE]
