We balance historical accuracy with present-day performance. For antiques and heritage pieces, we prioritize reversible methods, compatible materials, and patina preservation. For modern furniture and high-traffic commercial settings, we specify resilient catalyzed or waterborne systems that stand up to wear while keeping surfaces tactile and inviting. Throughout, we document the work with photography and detailed notes, giving you a transparent record of materials and methods for insurance, valuation, or resale.

Sustainability guides our process: we repair before replacing, retain original fabric where safe, and choose finishes with low emissions and responsible sourcing. Reviving existing furniture reduces waste, protects character, and often outperforms buying new—especially when the original substrate is solid hardwood or hand-joined.
