Restoration

With 25 years of experience in antique restoration, Ballarat Custom-built Furniture and Restorations has developed the philosophy that ‘Anything is possible’ when it comes to restoring your treasures to their original beautiful presentation.

Using traditional handcraft techniques and tools we can bring back to life your valued pieces of furniture. We understand antique restoration is performed in such a way as to rejuvenate and enhance how the piece looked when first built.

Maintaining the years of use, and abuse, the ‘story’ if you like of the furniture is paramount. We carry a large quantity of ‘old’ timbers the ensure your furniture is restored to as original as possible.

Sympathetic and traditional restoration techniques include:

• Use of old reclaimed timbers
• Handcrafted repairs in traditional cabinet making methods
• Re-gluing and repairs to chairs
• French polishing
• Veneer repairs
• Wood carving
• Functional re-design of antique furniture if required
• Timber colour matching
