Restoration on an antique tea cart.

To see an old heirloom piece of furniture I refinished for a customer, click on the links below.
This tea cart belonged to Mary Todd Lincoln and in the 1800s. This cart was made and used by the Lincoln family. It was been passed down to friends and family and was in storage for several years with stuff piled on top of it. It was in a flooded basement and had a lot of water damage on the wheels. The spokes on the large wooden wheels were broken, and were in sad shape. I was able to salvage all the original parts, restore it, and put it back together. I also had a new piece of glass cut for the serving tray.
