Antique Furniture Restoration
Antique tables, chests, chairs and cabinets restored in our Brooklyn workshop. We repair the structure, keep as much of the original wood and finish as we can, and refinish only where it is needed. Written quote the same business day.
What antique restoration includes
Restoration, not just refinishing
Refinishing strips the old finish and starts again. Restoration keeps as much of the original wood and finish as possible, which is usually what an antique needs. We test the finish first and choose the gentlest approach that works.
Wood and upholstery under one roof
Many antiques are part wood, part upholstery. Because we do both, an antique chair or settee can have its frame restored and its upholstery redone in one job.
Where we work
Pieces come to our Brooklyn workshop from across New York City, Long Island, New Jersey and Connecticut. Transportation available.
