Chairs are the most complex type of furniture, with stresses in varying directions and unique challenges associated with design fashions. Even the best built chairs need maintenance from time to time. If your chair is loose, if your chair needs a re-glue, it's always better to correct it before a catastrophic failure! Let our expertise work for you to give a solid service for a solid chair! Structural repairs can involve anything from loose joints to original design flaws to broken and/or rotten parts.
Our traditional furniture finishing options allow use to follow methods that provide you with an authentic look and feel with the benefits of improved technology and products that will stay looking better, longer, without having to worry about your furniture like you grandparents did. We custom mix and match our stains and techniques to match existing pieces whether you need to refinish the top of your desk or make a new chair match your old desk. This is an undervalued and misunderstood skill, don't trust just anybody to "tell" you what stain color is the match, it's often more nuanced than that.
That moment when you realize its such a difficult strip because the door underneath all the patches was a dart board mount!
This piece was a challenge - trim-over-fabri c is a nice touch on top and bottom, but takes more work than the upholstery itself!
Because 100+ year old wooden vanity mirrors need help too. Broken/missing handle grain matched, sculpted to fit and finished to match.
And the final finish work! Hard to imagine where it started - look back at the process a few posts back if you missed it. Wonderful to get it back home and ready for another 100 years (or more).
Now the piece is assembled, checked over for aesthetics and function. Notice all the grain is aligned? Then repair and reinstall fancy appliques. And then to witness the natural color with the first sealer coat. This is the part where you hold your breath for an hour straight - its a refinishers...
