Antique Mother-of-Pearl Chinese Inlay Table

This is upright cabinet with drop-down leaf to serve as a writing table was beautifully painted and fitted with mother-of-pearl inlay. The piece had been mishandled in transport, resulting in the breakage of one of the legs and the tie construction between the legs as well as damage to the mother-of-pearl inlay.

Pieces of curved wood were inserted on the bottom side and all pieces were glued. Broken and missing pieces of inlay repaired or replaced, and the orignal beauty of the entire cabinet was restored.
