FURNITURE RESTORATION & REFINISHING
Museum Quality Restoration Services restores fine antiques, ancient artifacts, antiquities, and furniture. The beauty of old world growth wood is denser, stronger and has detailed grain and patterns that are much different from today’s wood.
In terms of craftsmanship, strength, and appearance, they are much better in every aspect than new wood. Original woods like sycamore, oak, walnut, pine and fruit woods such as cherry wood, almond, palm as well as exotic woods like mahogany, rosewood, ebony are worth preserving. These woods have a richness of color as well as durability that make the craftsmanship of fine furniture and antiques distinctive and valuable.
Hiring a highly regarded and skilled professional means that you can be sure the job will be done correctly, and you won’t have to worry about any mistakes that could further damage your furniture.
