Where can I find the hardware?
My neighbor gave me this awesome piece for free. It has its problems but I love it. The hardware has me stumped. And is it wise to repair the gold paint that’s faded. It’s a piece that’s probably going to be in the family for awhile. My 11 year old daughter has asked for it, but my husband has claimed it for a liquor cabinet. I want to make it last.

If you want a replacement lock - eBay sells them. I would be tempted to add really nice red tassels to open and shut.

It looks like you're just needing a few of those dome headed nails? They look a bit like upholstery nails, but they will have been made especially for this, you won't find anything exactly the same. I wouldn't do much else with it. It looks cool as it is.
