Furniture Conservation

Furniture conservation is the careful process of preserving and restoring antique or valuable furniture to maintain its integrity and appearance over time. It involves analyzing the piece's materials and history, then using specialized techniques to repair damage, stabilize fragile areas, and prevent future deterioration. The goal is to preserve the furniture’s original craftsmanship, authenticity, and character while ensuring it remains stable and usable. Conservation is distinct from replacement or decorative restoration, focusing on respectful, minimally invasive methods to extend the life of historic or significant furniture pieces for future generations.
