I was given my great grandmother's old chest of drawers. As you can see it has been kept in great condition but I've found that when you clean it a white film builds on the surface so I asked my mum how to clean it and she said my great nan used to coat it with wax and it could do with a revarnish. I'm only 21 and have no experience restoring old furniture so I wouldn't know where to start on it to remove the old wax from it without damaging it so any tips would be massively appreciated.

And any tips for restoring and cleaning the handles, knobs and mirror too! I would love to coat it with a red toned varnish after so any recommendations for that would be great.
