Why Choose Antique Furniture Restoration Rather Than Replace?

Choosing to restore rather than replace is not just an act of sentimentality. It is a smart, sustainable, and financially sound decision. Your heirloom dresser in the attic or that vintage armchair looking a little tired might seem like a candidate for antique furniture restoration. In our modern culture, the easiest solution often feels like a replacement of the old. But before you order that alternative, consider a more cost-effective path, professional antique furniture restoration.

Why Choose Antique Furniture Restoration Rather Than Replace?

Preserve History
New furniture is often made from engineered woods like MDF, held together with staples and glue, but antique furniture restoration makes sure the furniture was crafted from solid hardwoods using techniques like dovetail joints and hand-carving. When you choose an easy and modern solution over your antique furnishings, you are just erasing history.

Enhance Financial Value
A new furniture purchase is an immediate expense that loses its value over time, but a well-maintained antique and vintage piece is consistently valuable no matter how much time goes by. A professionally restored piece is not only more beautiful than the dulled-down version but also significantly more valuable than any modern furniture.

Sustainability Value 
Discarding furniture contributes to landfill waste that needs new resources to recycle it, restoration is the pinnacle of recycling. By repairing, refinishing, and reupholstering, you can save money and also the planet. This allows you to enjoy beautiful furniture with a clear environmental conscience.

Home Full of Unique Character

We work with you to tailor the restoration from wood stains to fabric choices, ensuring the final piece is uniquely yours and your home.
