[QUOTE="Poisonivy, post: 3974619, member: 2417"]Ok, It's finished .... Outside I polished the leather with renovating cream, on top there were 4 brass fittings that had always been there but there there was 2 different sizes, luckily I had a matching set from another box so I swapped them over, I took the knob off the drawer as it was wrong and covered the hole with one of the fittings until I find the correct handle. Inside I repaired a split in the leather envelope and stuck the sections back down, I replaced the missing sections with some pieces from another box, I recovered the pin cushion with a scrap from another Regency box and I had the little needle book already, It was easy to cut it down to fit. c. 1810-15. So there it is :) [ATTACH=full]324235[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]324236[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]324237[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]324238[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
