Restorations

Restoration by definition means to restore, renew, revive or reestablish. Regardless of the type of furniture or the degree of restoration needed, we can help you preserve, repair, and revitalize beloved pieces with the craftsmanship they deserve.

What We Do

Structural Repairs

Structural Repairs

We fix broken joints, reinforce weakened frames, and replace missing or damaged parts to ensure your furniture remains sturdy and functional.

Wood Refinishing

Structural Repairs

From sanding and stripping to staining and finishing, we restore the wood’s natural beauty. We can match the original finish or update it to your preferred color and sheen.

Lacquer and Varnish

Carvings and Turnings

If your antique furniture has damaged topcoats (lacquer, varnish, or poly), we offer restoration services to bring back a smooth, durable finish, while also preserving the original patina.

Carvings and Turnings

Inlay and Veneer Repairs

Carvings and Turnings

We can restore or recreate carved details, such as decorative legs, spindles, or paneling, ensuring that the restoration blends seamlessly with the original piece.

Our Process

Initial Assessment and Evaluation:

Every piece is carefully inspected to determine the extent of restoration required. We evaluate the condition of the wood, joints, hardware, and finish to create a custom plan of action.

Disassembly and Cleaning:

In most cases, we carefully disassemble the piece to inspect and clean each component. This allows us to address structural issues, clean hard-to-reach areas, and remove any built-up dirt or grime.

Repairs and Reconstruction:

Structural repairs are carried out, including re-gluing, reinforcing joints, replacing missing or broken parts, and repairing or recreating intricate woodwork.

Wood Finishing and Refinishing:

After any structural repairs are done, the wood is carefully sanded, stripped of old finishes, and re-stained or refinished according to the client’s preferences. We ensure that the finish matches the original or enhances it, providing long-lasting protection

Final Assembly and Touch-Ups:

Once all repairs and refinishing are completed, the piece is reassembled, and any final touch-ups (such as matching wood colors, polishing metal hardware, or applying final layers of finish) are completed to ensure the piece is as good as, if not better than, new.

Inspection and Delivery:

We conduct a thorough final inspection to ensure the restored furniture meets our high-quality standards before shipping and delivering to you.

Why Choose Us?

We take pride in every restoration, ensuring that every detail—whether it’s a delicate carving, a hidden joint, or a faint scratch—is treated with care and expertise. Every piece has unique value. We believe in sustainability, and whenever possible, we repair and restore rather than replace.
