Sins against the design Gods.  

I have
no problem with messing with replicas of a design. I call them replicas because they are just examples of the original design. If you had a thousand copies of the Mona Lisa, as long as you leave the original alone, how can it hurt that painting to modify one of the copies ? As long as no one is led to believe that your altered replica is representative of the original in every way. . .I say do what you like.

Judging...
by this picture it actually looks quite good...more elegant than the yellowish original....Follow SDR's advise.
I am sure that x years from now, someone will ask how to restaure it to the "original" colour...and both of you will do it for the pleasure of having something you really like...that's what products are for!

Ebonized it is! I feel so liberated!

saffron
similar to Heywood Wakefield wheat of the same period and frankly both look like pee. You going to refinish yourself or hire a pro?

I will hire a pro...
...unless I'd like it to look like one of my 4-year-olds finger paintings.

Here is the Gibbings dresser in the projected finish
It is much more striking than the "cloudy pee" finish of the original.

That will be great the dresser you show the metal fittings are silverplated...its the 53 line I seem to recall...?
