Our goal with the conservation and restoration of a piece of furniture or wooden object is to preserve its original substance and aura, thus preserving a piece of history for posterity. To achieve this, our certified restorers preserve the existing condition as best as possible and make sure that all steps of our restoration remain reversible, i.e. can be undone if desired.
Of course, as a specialist workshop for wood and furniture restoration, we only use materials that are appropriate to the respective style period of your piece of furniture, furnishings, or interior design object.
We use a wide range of scientific analysis methods to determine suitable materials and formulations, to date wood and determine wood species, and to conduct chemical analyses of binders and pigments. As an alternative to supplementary reconstruction, our wood and furniture conservators also consider leaving missing fragments in place for conservation treatment, especially for listed objects and ensembles.
