Services & Process

Antique furniture work here involves careful disassembly, assessment of original construction methods, and preservation of details that give older pieces their character and value. Reupholstery services cover chairs, settees, chaise lounges, and other period furniture where fabric choices need to match the era and style of the original piece. The shop likely sources period-appropriate fabrics and trims, including damasks, brocades, and woven textiles that suit Victorian, Colonial, or early American styles. Customers restoring estate pieces or preparing antiques for resale will find this combination of skills particularly useful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reupholster an antique chair without damaging its value?
Yes, when it's done by someone experienced with period furniture who uses appropriate materials and techniques. Good antique upholstery work actually preserves or increases a piece's value by restoring it properly rather than covering up problems.
How do I know if my antique furniture frame is worth restoring?
A shop experienced with antiques can assess the frame during an initial consultation and tell you whether the wood is sound enough to support reupholstery. Pieces with solid hardwood construction, hand-carved details, or known provenance are almost always worth the investment.
What fabric should I use on a Victorian-era settee?
Period-appropriate options include velvet, brocade, damask, and woven wool fabrics that reflect the decorative styles of the late 1800s. A shop specializing in antiques will often have access to reproduction fabrics designed to match original patterns and textures.
Do you work on furniture bought at estate sales in the Dover area?
Estate sale finds are a common source of antique furniture that needs restoration work, and shops with antique experience are well-suited for it. Bring photos or the piece itself to get an honest assessment of what the work will involve.
How long does antique furniture restoration typically take compared to standard reupholstery?
Antique work usually takes longer because it involves more careful disassembly, possible frame repairs, and sourcing specialty materials. Plan for two to four weeks on a complex piece, though simpler jobs may turn around faster.
Can I bring in just one dining chair from a set to be reupholstered as a test?
Absolutely, and it's a smart way to see the shop's work before committing the whole set. Just note that fabric availability can change over time, so ordering all the matching fabric upfront ensures a consistent look across the set.
