Frequently Asked Questions

Can you restore furniture that's been badly water damaged?
Water damage is one of the most common issues with older furniture, and it's often fixable depending on how deep the damage goes. The shop will assess whether the wood structure is still sound before recommending a course of action, which might include drying, refinishing, and veneer replacement.
How do I know if my antique is worth restoring?
A good rule of thumb is whether the piece has sentimental value or if it's a known quality brand or era. The shop can give you an honest assessment of the restoration cost versus the likely value of the finished piece so you can make an informed decision.
Do you use period-appropriate materials for antique restorations?
Yes, matching the original era's materials and finishes is a priority for authentic antique work. This might mean sourcing specific wood stains, traditional upholstery fabrics, or using hand-tied spring techniques rather than modern foam and webbing.
How long does a typical furniture restoration take?
Simple repairs like regluing or minor refinishing can often be done in a few days. More complex antique restorations involving upholstery, structural work, and finishing can take two to four weeks, especially if special materials need to be ordered.
Can you repair chairs where the joints have come apart completely?
Completely disassembled or loose joints are actually very repairable in most cases. The old glue is cleaned off, fresh adhesive is applied, and the piece is clamped and allowed to cure properly so the joint comes back stronger than before.
Do you work on upholstered antiques as well as wood pieces?
Yes, upholstered antiques like Victorian settees, wingback chairs, and antique ottomans are part of the specialty here. The work can include replacing worn foam or horsehair, restringing springs, and selecting fabrics that match the period or the customer's personal preference.
