It looks really good, even without trying to patch the missing veneer. I am partial too wood finishes myself, and your piece has a beautiful grain and gorgeous patinaed color. I don’t know that I would necessarily use Brasso on the handles, either. They have great coloration as they are. To fill in some of the smaller dings and where the finish has worn off, try Minwax Blend-Fill Pencil, for larger areas that need finish restored but are otherwise not too dinged up or dented, try Guardsman Furniture Touch-Up Kit “pens” or Varathane Touch-Up Markers at Menards, a home-grown version of Lowe’s or Home Depot — you can probably find the same or similar products at either L or HD. The Guardsman pens are old, I bought them at Linens ‘n Things years ago but they still work great — I horde them I’m sure there are lots of similar products out there. I like the Varathane touch-up marker because a little goes a long way, just be sure to shake it up real good first.

Thanks! Yeah, I love painted furniture, but I thought what the heck? Why not give it a scrub and keep the wood shining

Oooh it looks gorgeous!! I like a good painted piece of furniture but that dresser absolutely needs to go au naturale. Pinning for future reference about the product you used!
