What Is Impact & Accident Damage Restoration?
This type of restoration focuses on repairing antique furniture that’s been physically damaged by force or mishandling. Unlike long-term deterioration or water damage, impact damage is typically sudden and structural—requiring a precision approach to both strength and appearance.

Each repair is approached with respect for original construction and materials, with a goal of restoring strength and aesthetic without compromising history

Even if the damage looks minor, it’s best to have it professionally inspected. Hairline cracks and loose joints may worsen with continued use.
Our Impact Restoration Process
Each project begins with careful inspection and planning to match your piece’s era, design, and material.
We examine all visible and hidden impact points, checking for wood splits, joint failure, or surface compression.
For internal repairs, we may gently disassemble affected areas to access broken parts without disturbing surrounding finishes.
Using traditional wood joinery and matched adhesives, we realign and reinforce fractured components—ensuring strength without adding bulk or modern hardware.
Missing pieces (legs, arms, spindles, trim) are hand-carved or lathe-turned using matched wood for seamless integration.
Crushed veneer or chipped surfaces are restored using grain-matched patches, fillers, and subtle refinishing techniques.
We match original stains, sheens, and patinas to integrate the repair visually—avoiding full refinishing unless absolutely necessary.
We routinely repair:
All repairs are made with an eye toward invisibility, strength, and long-term use—without over-modernizing your antique piece.

Frequently Asked Questions – Impact Damage Restoration
Can you restore furniture that’s broken into several pieces?
Yes. As long as the original materials are largely intact, we can typically reassemble and reinforce it using historically accurate methods.
What if a carved leg or detail is missing?
We handcraft replacements using matched wood and shape them to replicate the original design—down to the grain direction and finish.
Do repairs show after completion?
Our goal is always to make repairs as seamless as possible. When complete refinishing isn’t required, we blend stains and finishes for a discreet repair.
Is it better to repair or replace an antique after damage?
In most cases, repairing the original is better for both sentimental and market value. We’ll give you an honest recommendation either way.
Do you work with insurance for accident-related repairs?
Yes. If your piece was damaged during a move or delivery, we can provide formal estimates for insurance or mover claims.
Do I need to bring the furniture to your shop?
Not necessarily. We offer pickup in most of Metro Atlanta for pieces that are too large or too fragile to transport yourself.
