Thank you for the work you did on the baby furniture. We are very happy with how the pieces turned out. You took two tired, old pieces of furniture that have no monetary value but lots of sentimental value to our family and you have brought them back to life for the next generation to use.

frequently asked questions

To understand the potential value of your antique furniture, you should try to find similar antique furniture styles and their value. Once you have a rough idea of your antique furniture’s value from searching on the internet, we recommend to have the piece professionally appraised.
Dusting with a soft brush is the best way to regularly clean and maintain your antique furniture. Do your best to avoid using wet cleaning methods for your antique pieces as this can cause expanding of the wood and could compromise the structural integrity of your already delicate antique furniture piece. If you feel the need to use a wet cloth, make sure to gently dab and use distilled water.
Unless done by professionals, amateur antique furniture restoration will most often diminish the value of your antique furniture pieces. Especially if there is serious structural damage, you should leave it to pros.
Antique furniture refinishing, resurfacing, and restoration take experience in handling delicate types of furniture with incredibly intricate and unique designs. With the proper experience, knowledge, and equipment, a professional antique furniture repair service can prolong the life of your piece, can improve the structural integrity, and can sometimes even increase the value of your antique furniture piece.
If the antique furniture piece in question does not get regularly used and its being stored, we recommend using old sheets and blankets to cover the pieces in order to protect them from dust and moisture build-up.

If you’ve come to own an antique furniture piece, there are many options for what you can do with it. Depending on the structural integrity of the furniture piece, you can consider whether or not you want to get it professionally restored.

You can continue to use the antique furniture piece or store it for future use. You can sell the piece or hope to increase the value by selling it in the future. If you plan on selling your antique furniture, you can either find a reputable auction house or sell it on consignment. If you have no use for the antique furniture piece, there are lots of charities and art centres that would accept furniture donations.
