You've probably heard the term "vintage" applied to secondhand furniture. How old does a piece have to be to qualify as vintage? If you guessed at least 25 years old, but usually not older than 50, you're right. After 50, desirable pieces qualify as collectables.
It’s important to remember that some of the older pieces of furniture were handmade by craftsmen and artisans. If you’re having trouble finding the same quality workmanship in newer furniture, you may want to look into having the damage to your furniture repaired.
There are many ways to refinish wooden furniture, however the gentlest method is hand stripping. Dip and strip techniques can remove the surface stains and paints but also remove the important adhesives and even damage the wood. Hand stripping removes the paints and stains but does not dissolve the required adhesives or create raised wood grain or bleaching.
