Antique Furniture Restoration

The subtle warmth of beautiful wood rubbed to a rich deep glow. Graceful proportions and details  enhanced by natural wood-grain patterns of aged Oak, Walnut, and Mahogany.The elegance of classic design  perfected through lifetimes of creative toil brought to life by master craftsmen However we know the art of the furniture designer and craftsman is not un-affected by the passing of time. Finishes begin to dull  catches and hinges can break,  and delicate details are easily damaged. Simple daily use and exposure can diminish the beauty of even the most well cared for Heirlooms.

Restoring Fine Furniture is Art

Restoring such fine furniture to its original perfection is an art in itself. Knowing what should be done, and when to leave well enough alone. Revealing the full potential of a piece requires more than competent knowledge of the physical processes of furniture repair and recipes used in furniture refinishing. It requires a special instinct for the natural qualities of the materials involved  an understanding of the designer’s vision and the ability to bring that vision back to life through painstaking care at every step.
