Restoration of antique furniture in Ukraine
Antique furniture keeps memories of past generations and their eras, and many want to preserve this uniqueness for future generations. We restore both entire sets and individual items, such as tables, chairs, chests of drawers and cabinets, returning them to their original appearance. We can also restore carvings and return the natural color or varnish coating to valuable items.
What does antique furniture restoration involve?
Antique furniture is not only subject to natural wear and tear. It can suffer from exposure to food, be exposed to heat from sunlight, and also suffer from high humidity, careless storage or frequent moves. The restoration process includes cleaning the surface and fittings from old dirt, gluing loose parts and securing elements with nails.
The complex restoration process includes such actions as pettenkofering the wood, replacing the upholstery and filling, and renewing the carved elements. These operations require high qualifications and in-depth knowledge of joinery, turning, carving, mosaic techniques (e.g. marquetry), engraving, and painting.
Stages of work of master restorers when restoring antique furniture:

Why should you trust only professionals?
Independent craftsmen often have only theoretical knowledge and insufficient practical experience. Attempts to restore antique furniture on your own can lead to undesirable consequences. Most work requires manual execution, and ignorance of technology can significantly reduce the quality of the final result. Simplification of processes, the use of cheap substitutes for original materials, errors in upholstery or filler of upholstered furniture, as well as an unsuccessful choice of legs and backs can cause customer dissatisfaction. As a result, the products can be hopelessly spoiled.
A true professional cabinetmaker always works in a way that avoids irreparable mistakes. He does not need to explain the differences in the properties of different types of wood, remind about the subtleties of technology or control the restoration process. Thanks to his knowledge and skillful approach, antique pieces of furniture will be restored to their proper form.
