Approaching Antique Furniture Refinishing
Many of us have inherited antique pieces of furniture from our ancestors and whether we like or not, are pretty clueless when it comes to figuring out what an Antique Furniture Refinishing actually is.
I know I was when first starting.
Give me a silent nod if you can relate..
Heck, most get them at sales, gifts from relatives and (more likely) find them whilst taking out the trash, lol.
Whatever the case is, antique furniture — especially in repairable or better condition – - can be HIGHLY valuable, and knowing how to do a proper restoration is important.
When doing Antique Furniture Refinishing, it pays to make sure it’s done to keep or raise the current fair market financial value of the piece. Occasionally antique furniture must be considered for repair because it’s damaged or needs resurfacing. Make sure that any type of antique Antique Furniture Refinishing attempted though, or have a pro do, conforms to the criteria dealers and auction houses consider “acceptable”, and orthodox methods are used (more info on this later).
After all, you do not want to risk having an Antique Furniture Refinishing done that will diminish the value of your heirloom or investment.
While heirlooms are priceless, you don’t want a restored piece prevent you from profiting off an antique furniture investment later on!
If you are not a handy man or do not have much experience or confidence with Antique Furniture Refinishing (hey, we’ve all got to start somewhere, right?) then consider bringing the piece to a professional. Pro’s who advertise their services have the proper tools and materials for doing the job right and preserving the antiquity of the furniture.
As you can see, there are a few things to keep in mind before attempting a restoration, which is quite daunting at first. My area of focus is mainly antique (though I like the occasional new piece that comes along…).
If you’re serious about collecting then you need to get the Black & Decker Finishing & Refinishing Wood. It is excellent as it covers in step-by-step detail the process of refinishing your piece. It’s a must for those select few.
With 144 pages of rich colored photos – it’s like an encyclopedia for the antique furniture repair market.
