Gentle Cleansing

Over time, antiques accumulate layers of dust, grime, and old varnish. Our gentle cleansing process utilizes specialized solutions and handwork to remove these layers, and reveal the wood's natural grain.

Faded Finish Revival

Sun exposure and time can dull the vibrancy of an antique's finish. Our expert refinishers possess a keen eye for color and utilize time-tested techniques to revive faded finishes. We can either restore the original color or create a custom finish that complements the piece's style and vision.

Minor structural concerns can affect the stability and safety of an antique. Our skilled artisans possess the expertise to address these concerns using traditional methods and high-quality materials, ensuring the structural integrity of your piece is preserved while maintaining its historical authenticity.
