Frequently Asked Questions
Why will you not dip furniture in stripper?
Dipping loosens veneer and glue joints, and the damage often shows up months later. We do everything by hand instead, which takes longer but keeps veneers, joints and original structure intact. It is the same discipline we apply to piano cases.
What size jobs do you take on?
Everything from gluing a loose chair, table or end table through to full bedroom and dining room sets. Older furniture is generally of higher quality than most furniture built today, which is exactly why it is worth restoring rather than replacing.
Will my original hardware be kept?
Wherever possible. We restore original hardware rather than substituting modern reproductions, and finish with high quality lacquer, so the result reads as a well-kept original rather than a refinished copy.
