Just adding on to existing thread instead of starting new thread.
This is a set that I posted in the past on TC.
I also will be selling four super rare Frankl coffee tables I will
be adding soon.

I have for sale a set of half moon club chairs and a super rare double horseshoe
design arm love seat.Both are finished with the same bark cloth but arms are different.
Would look great together in the same room are split up.The chairs and love seat went
thru a six step extensive restoration process.When I picked them up they had been
sitting outside for who knows how long.They were covered in black mold from HELL
and I didn't know if they could be saved at all? Over 40 hours were put into
prepping, bleaching,wire brushed, sanded,stained and finally two coats of varnish.
The rattanwas all shot in a down draft state the art automotive spray booth with
Zspar yacht varnish @ $35 a quart.You do the math.

The bark cloth was done in the top of the line Trend Tex fabric from Honolulu, and
top of the line HR memory foam.No expense was spared to complete this restoration.
As you can see the end result is simply stated incredible.The varnish came out like
glass-flawless.Most people have no idea just how much work is involved with doing
restoration on vintage rattan furniture.Thats why most people question the prices
some of it sells for because they are clueless about the labor intensive work involved.
Again I say most- not all people.My pictures don't even come close to doing this
rare set justice .Emails welcome.Available by appointment to view furniture .
Serious inquires only -please
