Steps in Antique Furniture Restoration
Comprehensive Assessment and Inspection
Before any tools touch the wood, a meticulous examination is required. Our experts analyze the piece to identify the wood type, finish, and extent of the damage. This step helps us determine if the item requires simple cosmetic touch-ups or extensive structural work, ensuring the chosen restoration path honors the furniture's original craftsmanship.
Specialized Cleaning and Decontamination
Over decades, furniture accumulates layers of grime, wax, and sometimes soot from fire damage. We utilize advanced hard content restoration techniques to gently strip away these contaminants without harming the underlying patina. This deep clean reveals the true character of the piece and prepares the surface for the necessary repairs that follow.
Structural Repair and Stabilization
Antique furniture often suffers from loose joints, missing veneer, or broken legs. In this phase, our craftsmen meticulously repair these structural issues using period-appropriate techniques and adhesives. The goal is to stabilize the item for daily use while maintaining as much of the original material as possible to preserve its historical value.
Refinishing and Protective Polishing
The final step involves restoring the finish to its former glory. Whether it involves matching a specific stain or applying a traditional shellac or wax, this process seals the wood and enhances its natural beauty. It provides a durable barrier against future wear, ensuring your restored treasure shines for generations to come.
