I have a few pieces of furniture from the Sourav Collection at Cost Plus World market. It's a dark mahogany wood imported from India i believe. I had watermarks that i wanted to remove and id' used some steel wool to remove the top layer of wax only to realize they use like a tinted wax and the furniture isn't actually stained. I was planning on buffing off old wax with steel wool and restoring it with a new coat of regular paste wax like ive done on other furniture.
Recently I've been to other houses and have seen how worn they get, and it looks like bare wood in the worn areas. I'd like to find some tinted or dark waxes that will bring the right color back does anyone have any recommendations?
Liberon makes different colored paste wax's for wood finishing but that would be expensive to buy several just to find the right color.
Go to the link then click sourav on the left links to see them:

If you call like furniture restoration places they can sometimes give you something to help it out. Also polishing it regualry can help keep the color. OTherwise go to one of the furniture stores near you and see if they have a polish or something that matches that you can buy...home depot andplaces like that have it too.

They probably used Orange Shellac if it is very old. Like the other person said, if the furniture is in good condition and is worth anything take it to a furniture restoration shop. GET REFERENCES

I have used Howard Restor-A-Finish and it works great. Just wipe it on then wipe it off.They also have waxes too.Which I bought mine from Lowe's and a local hardware store.

dark furniture is really in style now. as long as your ceiling and walls are a light color, dark furniture wont make the room look much smaller.
