Every piece is unique but below are some of the most common questions we are asked about restoration and conservation.
Restoration aims to bring the existing finish back to life and can greatly improve appearance however it may not remove deep damage. A refinish involves stripping the existing finish off down to raw wood, removing any damage to the wood, then staining and applying a new finish.
If a finish can be restored, expect to see a 50-70% improvement. If it is stripped and refinished expect to see an 70-100% improvement, to near new condition. The refinish process costs roughly twice as much as a restoration.

No! Professional restoration actually increases the value of the furniture.
This misunderstanding stems from the TV show Antiques Roadshow wherein experts often commented that ‘a refinished piece has less value than a piece in pristine original condition’ however Peter B. Cook, executive producer of Antiques Roadshow, clarified that this opinion only applied to very rare cases and that ‘Well-conceived and well-executed refinishing and restoration usually enhances the value of just about any piece of old furniture.’
