There was a dark mahogany stain painted all over the case with what looked like water damage in various places.
image

Plus some paint drops.
image

The hood had been stripped and stained at some point.

Some missing veneer.

The hood needed to be bleached so I could then stain to try to match the base.
image

After stripping off the old stain and finish the original colour was revealed. This meant that it was more difficult to match the hood.
image

Got the Match! The case was French polished and beeswaxed.
