Do you have an antique, heirloom, valuable piece of furniture or decorative object that needs careful restoration, repair or preservation?

Our technicians work with valuable furniture, family heirlooms, designer pieces, antiques and decorative objects that may have significant sentimental, historical or monetary value.

Careful Restoration for Valuable & Sentimental Pieces

Antique and fine furniture often require a different approach than ordinary repairs. The goal is not simply to make the item usable again, but to preserve as much of the original material, design, finish and character as practical.

Repair methods and materials are selected according to the age, construction, finish, condition and intended use of the piece.

Whenever appropriate, we work to reproduce original materials, colors and finishes while minimizing unnecessary alteration.

Custom Parts & Missing Component Replication

When original parts are broken or missing, replacement components may sometimes be reproduced rather than replacing the entire piece.

Our craftsmen use professional equipment such as lathes, mills and duplicators to reproduce or repair certain:

  • Furniture legs
  • Spindles
  • Finials
  • Moldings
  • Trim
  • Decorative wood components
  • Curved or shaped metal components
  • Specialty glass components

On-Site Antique Furniture Repair

Whenever practical, antique and valuable furniture can be serviced on-site to reduce unnecessary handling and transportation.

Rapid changes in humidity and temperature can affect wood, leather and other natural materials and may contribute to warping, cracking, shrinking, expansion or joint movement.

Larger restoration projects, complete refinishing, extensive reupholstery and highly specialized work may require shop service. Pickup and delivery may be arranged when necessary.

Condition Evaluation & Previous Repair Identification

In many cases, our technicians can evaluate visible damage, determine whether earlier repairs appear to have been performed and identify structural or finish-related concerns before recommending a restoration approach.

Photographs, measurements, product information and written findings may also be documented when appropriate.

Residential, Commercial & Professional Restoration

We work with homeowners, designers, collectors, property managers, retailers, hotels, moving companies, insurance-related clients and other organizations that require professional furniture restoration.
