Frequently Asked Questions

Can antique furniture be reupholstered without losing its value?
Done correctly, professional reupholstery on antique furniture can preserve or even increase its value by making it usable while respecting its original construction. The key is choosing a shop that understands how to work with aged frames and period-appropriate materials.
What types of antiques do you work on?
Upholstery-focused antique shops typically handle Victorian settees, wingback chairs, Chesterfield sofas, French provincial pieces, and mid-century modern furniture. If you're unsure whether your piece qualifies, a quick consultation with photos is the best way to find out.
How do I choose the right fabric for an antique piece?
A good restoration shop will walk you through options that suit the period and style of your furniture, whether that's velvet, linen, brocade, or a leather appropriate to the era. You don't have to guess on your own; the shop's experience is there to guide you.
Do you work with interior designers in Los Angeles?
Many specialty upholstery shops in LA work regularly with interior designers and decorators who need reliable partners for client projects. It's worth asking about trade relationships if you're a designer looking for a consistent referral option.
How long does antique restoration take compared to standard reupholstery?
Antique restoration generally takes longer because it involves more careful assessment and often requires sourcing specific materials. A simple piece might take two to three weeks, while more complex restorations can run four to six weeks or more.
What should I do if my antique has broken frame joints or cracked wood?
Many upholstery shops that specialize in antiques also address minor structural repairs to frames as part of the restoration process. If the damage is significant, they may refer you to a furniture repair specialist before the upholstery work begins.
