The scrollwork appears to be made of a synthetic wood. Carefully pry the scrollwork off with a wide scraper, being extra careful where the brads hold the ends of the scrolls. There were six brads holding mine in place. I think you can duplicate it with bondo, plaster of paris, or water putty. I was able to successfully remove the scrollwork off of one cabinet with only one break (I had purchased two extra 87's so I could restore mine). The scrolling was glued and nailed to the cabinet. The scrolling came off in pieces from the other two cabinets. If this won't work, I can send you a drawing of the complete scrollwork.
