Conversion of an Eastlake "Ladies Writing Desk" for a New Decor
Gothic Bench
The Eastlake style was introduced in the late 1800s for those who were tired of the Victorian style. This piece has been finished in a deep blue and "washed" with a breath of white to fit a new decor.
Assessing the Damage
The bench was dropped on it’s end during a move, breaking the arm and decorative railing. The finish overall needed new life as well.
Previous Repairs
Attempts had been made previously to glue the pieces together, requiring removal of old glue to be the first part of the repair.
Support and Strength
Splits and cracks like this one are particularly hard to repair, the strength of the new piece being the major concern.
Replacement of Structure
The arm support was given a new dowel into the seat to provide integrity and keep it strong.
Saving Delicate Parts
Delicate re-assembly of the small broken pieces allowed this portion to be replaced in near original condition. Touch up work makes the repair nearly invisible.
Making Things Look New
This part was also saved using the original wood and repairs are only minimally visible. Fortunately, the owner saved even the small pieces after the break.
