A specialty of the workshop. Whether it is a family heirloom or part of a museum collection, care is taken to ensure that the historical integrity is preserved.
Our skills extend beyond furniture restoration alone. One of our conservators is trained in Fine Art Restoration, and can handle the patching of rips or punctures in most paint-on-canvas art.
We will design and hand build a custom piece of furniture to your specifications in any style, dimension, wood or finish you can conceive of.
For over thirty years the staff has handled any and all types of moving / transit damage for all furniture, decorative, and fine arts.
We have restored a variety of other interesting objects. Please see our Services page for a full description and examples of our work or simply call us.
We are fully versed and experienced in the restoration of damaged fire and water-damaged furniture. Call us immediately in the case of water damage, as the most serious damage occurs while objects remain saturated.
