FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Get the answers to frequently asked questions about furniture care:
If you're considering professional furniture care, you likely have questions about how it differs from restoration, how often it should be done, and whether it's right for your specific piece. At Restoration Antique Furniture Atlanta, we’re committed to giving clients clear, expert guidance so they can make informed decisions. These frequently asked questions help clarify what our care services include, how they’re applied, and who they’re best suited for.
What’s the difference between restoration and furniture care?
Restoration involves repairing or rebuilding damaged or worn parts of a piece—structurally or aesthetically. Furniture care, on the other hand, is focused on maintaining a piece's current condition through expert cleaning, conditioning, protective treatments, and inspections to prevent deterioration over time.
How often should antique wood furniture be conditioned?
For most antique wood furniture, conditioning once or twice a year is ideal—depending on factors like humidity, sunlight exposure, and usage. High-use pieces or those in dry environments may need conditioning more frequently to prevent cracking or fading.
Can you treat modern finishes and old finishes differently?
Yes. We tailor our care approach based on the type of finish—shellac, lacquer, polyurethane, oil, or wax. Modern finishes often require different cleaning and protective products than older ones to avoid damage and ensure longevity.
Is furniture care suitable for museum-quality items?
Absolutely. Our care services are designed with museum-level precision, using non-invasive, conservation-grade products and methods to ensure long-term preservation. We regularly work with heirlooms, private collections, and historically significant items.
How to care for antique furniture?
Antique furniture should be kept out of direct sunlight, dusted regularly with a soft cloth, and conditioned professionally to protect the finish and wood. Avoid water, household cleaners, or DIY waxes, which can damage old finishes or leave residues. Our professional care services are designed to handle these needs safely.
What should you not do with antique furniture?
Avoid using abrasive cleaners, placing items in direct sunlight, or moving furniture without proper support. Don’t use waxes or oils not meant for antique finishes, and never sand or refinish antiques yourself without expert advice — it can drastically reduce value and cause irreversible damage.
Should you wax or oil antique furniture?
It depends on the finish and condition of the piece. Some woods benefit from oiling to nourish dry fibers, while others do better with a thin wax layer for protection and luster. We assess each piece to determine the best approach for safe and effective conditioning.
Is it worth restoring antique furniture?
If a piece has sentimental, historical, or monetary value, restoration can preserve and even increase that value. However, if it’s in good condition, routine furniture care may be all you need to keep it in great shape without altering its original state.
How to bring antique furniture back to life?
Start with professional cleaning and conditioning to revive the finish and protect the structure. If the piece still shows signs of damage or wear after care, restoration may be the next step. We often recommend furniture care as a non-invasive first step before full restoration.
Should you sand antique furniture?
Not without professional evaluation. Sanding can remove original finishes or details that are important to the piece’s value and authenticity. Instead, we use gentle cleaning, polishing, or preservation techniques that enhance the surface without removing its historical character.
Is it a bad idea to paint antique furniture?
Yes — in most cases, painting antique furniture permanently alters its originality and value. If a dramatic change is needed, restoration or refinishing by experts is a better option, using reversible methods that respect the craftsmanship of the original design.
