FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Get the answers to frequently asked questions about furniture restoration:
Restoring old furniture can be very worthwhile, especially if the piece holds sentimental or historical value. The decision often depends on the condition of the furniture and whether the restoration process will bring it back to its original charm or improve its functionality. If the furniture has solid construction, unique craftsmanship, or historical significance, restoration can enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan.
The restoration process typically includes cleaning, repairing structural issues, refinishing surfaces, reupholstering if necessary, and restoring any missing or damaged parts. We work carefully to maintain the original character of your piece.
Furniture restoration involves repairing or rebuilding damaged or worn-out furniture to restore it to its original condition. This can include structural repairs, reupholstery, and restoring original finishes. On the other hand, refinishing is focused on rejuvenating the surface of the furniture, such as sanding, staining, or polishing to improve its appearance. Restoration can often involve refinishing as part of the process, but restoration is a more comprehensive service.
The cost of furniture refurbishment varies depending on the type of work needed. Minor repairs or touch-ups may cost less, while more extensive repairs, reupholstery, or refinishing can be more expensive. The complexity of the restoration, materials used, and the size of the piece will all influence the price. It's best to request a consultation and get an estimate from a professional restoration service to determine the cost.
Furniture that has strong craftsmanship, historical value, or sentimental significance is usually worth restoring. This includes antiques, family heirlooms, or vintage pieces with unique designs. Furniture made from quality materials like hardwood or pieces that have unique carvings, inlays, or other fine details are often ideal candidates for restoration.
The time needed for restoration varies depending on the condition of the piece and the extent of the work. On average, restoration can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
To determine if your furniture is worth restoring, consider the following factors:
- Sentimental or historical value: If it’s a family heirloom or a rare antique, it may be worth the investment.
- Quality and craftsmanship: Furniture with solid construction, high-quality materials, or fine craftsmanship is usually worth restoring.
- Condition: If the piece is structurally sound but has cosmetic damage, it may be worth restoring. If it’s beyond repair, it may not be cost-effective.
You should avoid refinishing antique furniture if:
- The piece has historical significance: Refinishing may remove original finishes that contribute to the piece's value and authenticity.
- The finish is still in good condition: If the original finish is still intact and just needs minor repairs or cleaning, refinishing may not be necessary.
- The piece is rare or has collectible value: Some antiques are best left in their original state to preserve their value for collectors.
Yes, refinishing antique furniture can sometimes reduce its value, especially if it alters the original finish or if the furniture is considered a rare or highly collectible piece. Many collectors and appraisers value the original patina and finish as part of the item’s history. However, if the piece is in poor condition or has a damaged finish, a careful restoration that preserves its original look can help maintain or even enhance its value. It's best to consult a professional before making any decisions on refinishing antiques.
Refinishing furniture is generally cheaper than buying new, especially for quality pieces with strong construction or sentimental value. Refinishing restores the piece to good condition without the cost of purchasing and transporting new furniture. However, if the piece is significantly damaged or beyond repair, replacing it might be a more cost-effective option. Ultimately, refinishing offers an affordable way to refresh old furniture, but the cost will depend on the amount of work needed.
