Call the best specialists in antique restorations Kent

Posted by Johny Dean on April 6th, 2014

Have you inherited your grandmother’s furniture, but you are not sure what to do with it? There is one way to take advantage to the fullest of such items: have them restored by a specialist in antique restorations and cabinet making Canterbury.

Whether you want to use the old furniture you own for yourself or whether you are planning to sell such items, a dedicated and experienced company that specialises in antique restorations Kent is what you are looking for. Wood or leather antique products require special care in order to look good, but also to remain sturdy and functional. Regular furniture manufacturers or carpenters, no matter how good they are at their job, do not normally have the knowledge and the skills to maintain or restore antiquities. It takes a special touch to bring a walnut veneer chest of drawers or a mahogany console table back to life. It takes the touch of someone who has experience in restoration and cabinet making Canterbury.

Repairing, distressing, waxing, polishing and finishing old furniture require a lot of patience and skills. A professional company that specializes in antique restorations Kent is aware of the fact that only traditional techniques are appropriate for restoring such objects. And that is exactly what they do: once they have seen and assessed your piece of furniture, they will know which techniques and substances should be used in order to restore it without affecting its value or risking more damage. Such skills and knowledge cannot be gained in little time and few people have had the passion and the patience to acquire them. But those who have dedicated years to restoring armchairs and chests and to cabinet making Canterbury certainly know their job.

From a different point of view, when you contact a company that offers antique restorations Kent you should think about what it is exactly that you want. Do you want to make your furniture look as if it was brand-new or would you like it to keep its “patina”. Normally, restoring old chests of drawers and armchairs does not mean making them look as if they have just been manufactured, but recondition them while still keeping their vintage aspect. However, if that is not what you are interested in, you can tell that to the company that specializes in cabinet making Canterbury you have called and they will do their job according to your wishes.

Also, there is one aspect to which you should pay attention if you have decided to take the old furniture you have to an antique restorations Kent company: make sure it is worth it. While, generally, restoring a valuable wardrobe, an old chest of drawers or a table should prove to be a good investment, it might not turn out that way if you are not doing your research, compare some prices and end up paying more than you should on these services. Nevertheless, as long as you find a company that specializes in cabinet making Canterbury that asks for a reasonable sum of money for their services, you shouldn’t regret having decided to have the old furniture restored.
