Where Time Meets Craft

Every scratch tells a story. Every worn edge holds memory. We don't just restore furniture—we honor the journey each piece has taken, bringing forward its character while preparing it for decades more of life.

Skilled hands working on furniture restoration

Our Approach

Furniture restoration is an act of preservation. We work with wood as a living material, understanding its grain, its age, its response to touch. Each project begins with listening—to you, and to the piece itself.

Material Integrity

We source period-appropriate materials and finishes that respect the original construction methods.

Careful Intervention

Restoration means knowing when to act and when to preserve. We maintain the soul of each piece.

Timeless Technique

Traditional joinery, hand-rubbed finishes, and patient craftsmanship define our process.

What We Restore

Seating

Chairs, benches, and stools receive structural reinforcement, reupholstery, and finish renewal.

Tables

Dining tables, desks, and side tables are refinished to reveal the beauty beneath years of wear.

Storage

Dressers, cabinets, and wardrobes regain functionality through drawer repair and hardware restoration.

Upholstered Pieces

Sofas and armchairs are rebuilt from the frame up with new springs, padding, and fabric.

Architectural Elements

Doors, mantels, and built-ins are stripped, repaired, and refinished to architectural standards.

Decorative Objects

Frames, mirrors, and wooden artifacts receive conservation-level attention to detail.

The Restoration Journey

01

Assessment

We examine structure, finish, and damage to create a restoration plan that honors the piece's history.

02

Disassembly

Careful separation of components allows us to address hidden damage and prepare surfaces properly.

03

Repair

Broken joints are reglued, missing pieces are recreated, and structural integrity is restored.

04

Finishing

Surfaces are prepared and finished with appropriate stains, oils, or lacquers for lasting protection.

05

Reassembly

Components come together with precision, ready to serve for generations to come.

Materials We Work With

Hardwoods

Oak, walnut, mahogany, cherry, and maple each require specific approaches to stripping, sanding, and finishing.

Veneers

Delicate veneer work demands patience and precision to repair lifting, bubbling, or missing sections.

Upholstery

We work with natural fibers, horsehair, cotton batting, and quality fabrics that match period authenticity.

Hardware

Original hinges, pulls, and locks are cleaned and repaired; replacements are sourced to match the era.

Finishes

Shellac, lacquer, oil, and wax finishes are selected based on the piece's age and intended use.

Inlays

Mother-of-pearl, brass, and wood inlays are meticulously restored or recreated using traditional methods.

Recent Work

Each restoration is a collaboration between past and present, honoring what was while ensuring what will be.
