From our artisan workshop....
We provide woodworking repairs and refinishing for both antique and contemporary pieces, as well as custom furniture and bespoke finishes for cabinetry. We specialize in high-end work requiring attention to detail and an understanding for period authenticity.
Our staff is trained in both old-world and modern repair techniques and have restored a wide range of furniture, from museum antiques and priceless heirlooms to more typical move-damaged furniture and wobbly chairs.

Repairs
We use both old-world and modern repair techniques to repair loose joints, broken legs, wobbly frames and fine veneer inlays using traditional mortise & tenon and dowel techniques.
For complex shatters we often use up to 20 clamps!
Restoration
Antiques with a wax patina need a different approach than contemporary pieces with a catalyzed finish so we use fine brush-work skills and spray booth abilities to make sure the restoration is period-accurate and aligns with your desired result.
Color matching typically requires 5-7 shades mixed and layered to create the desired effect.
Custom
Our designs start with a discussion and reference images to determine style direction. We then create a 3D model or hand drawing. After sourcing and milling the wood we build your item and provide finish samples to be sure your custom furniture comes out exactly the way you dreamed it.

We love restoring the iconic designs of the masters but above all we value bringing treasured family pieces back to life. Grandma's rocking chair, a dining table filled with memories, or a vintage flea market find are often the most beloved items in the house.
We believe the best furniture is the furniture you already own - contact us to see how we can give your furniture a second life.
