However, it does not mean returning something to a like-new condition. A piece of furniture was made once and has endured certain eras. Time and use have left their traces. The piece of furniture has now acquired its own individual historical story, which should not be made invisible. Time should not be turned back, nor can a like-new condition be achieved.     <\/p>\n<p>The private client expects the totality of functionality and appearance to be restored without neglecting the history of the furniture. The restorer must establish a symbiosis with the furniture; he must get to know it. Know when and by whom it was created. With modern designer furniture, it is particularly important to preserve the designer&#8217;s intention.   <\/p>\n<p>However, there are also private clients who expect restoration to make the furniture look as if it were just created. For a restorer, this would mean violating all the rules of his professional art. In the area of visible aesthetics, this can still be partially done. However, when it comes to the material wood itself, this wish has professional ethical limits. One can conserve, reconstruct, or create missing areas in wood pieces, but never make old into new.    <\/p>\n<p>Antiques in the field of wood and furniture were often made with materials that in our time are difficult to obtain, no longer available, or only obtainable at great financial expense. Not in every case does the effort justify the intention. <\/p>\n<p>The object of restoration is always the original material. With historic furniture, however, the term refers to the work as it presents itself to the restorer at the moment restoration begins. Not the time, the respective cultural epoch of manufacture.  <\/p>\n<p>The restorer applies appropriate technologies, subordinating his own craftsmanship and creativity to this overarching goal.<\/p>\n<p>Object research, the reconstruction of the work&#8217;s history, becomes a central work step here. From this, it can be decided in individual cases which parts are absolutely worth preserving, which can and should be sacrificed to enable access to earlier versions. What constitutes soiling to be removed and what is worth preserving as historical evidence, which parts should not be retained as disfiguring foreign bodies or irregular alterations.<\/p>\n<p>            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"accordion__single active\">\n    <div class=\"accordion__title\">\n        <div class=\"accordion__title-wrapper\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__title-text\">\n                    How long does furniture restoration take?                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <div class=\"accordion__content\">\n            <div class=\"accordion__content_inner\">\n                I am aware that one is reluctant to part with a cherished piece of furniture at its customary location. I always strive to complete conservation and\/or restoration as quickly as possible. Nevertheless, expect several weeks as the time unit for completing the commission. If the furniture must or should be treated outside ZRW Berlin, it may take somewhat longer.   <\/p>\n<p>Depending on the measure, drying time is required, parts may need to be newly produced, some of which are handcrafted, etc. One can only guarantee for oneself, but not for partners and suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>With every restoration, &#8220;surprises&#8221; may become visible that were not recognizable beforehand. However, I always maintain contact with my clients and regularly inform them of the current status of commission processing.            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"accordion__single active\">\n    <div class=\"accordion__title\">\n        <div class=\"accordion__title-wrapper\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__title-text\">\n                    What materials are used for furniture restoration and wood restoration?                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <div class=\"accordion__content\">\n            <div class=\"accordion__content_inner\">\n                For wood and furniture restoration, replacement or addition materials\u2014wood, fittings, leather, shellac, glue, etc.\u2014are selected to meet both aesthetic and historical and technical quality requirements.<\/p>\n<p>If there are no concerns regarding functionality, wood additions are also made with naturally aged materials and comparable patina for aesthetic reasons. In furniture restoration and wood restoration, gluing or consolidation is carried out using various time-tested agents such as hide and bone glue, sturgeon glue, parchment glue, cellulose derivatives, etc. <\/p>\n<p>If wood must be replaced, it comes either from the material collection of my ZRW Berlin or from well-known veneer and timber merchants in Europe. If the original furniture was already built with machine-cut knife veneer, then only knife veneer is used. <\/p>\n<p>Natural varnishes are produced in our own workshop for color tone, haptics, and important surface protection.            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"accordion__single active\">\n    <div class=\"accordion__title\">\n        <div class=\"accordion__title-wrapper\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__title-text\">\n                    How can I maintain my furniture?                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <div class=\"accordion__content\">\n            <div class=\"accordion__content_inner\">\n                Upon request, we are happy to come to you and perform maintenance measures on your furniture, wooden objects, or built-in woodwork.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure that you enjoy your favorite pieces for a long time to come, we would like to provide you with a few tips on proper wood care here.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, valuable antique furniture is often literally &#8220;maintained to death&#8221; through incorrect cleaning\u2014to remove dust, we usually clean thoroughly with a soft, damp cloth, as we are used to doing with any other surface. However, like leather, wood is a hydrophilic material, meaning it absorbs liquids and stores unwanted substances such as dirt, grease, or dyes with them\u2014which quickly become visible as stains on untreated wood. This cohesive force also acts through many traditional surface coatings (varnish, lacquer, shellac, etc.). Each coating, however, is based on a different chemical composition. It can be oily, waxy, greasy, hard, solvent-resistant, etc., and thus reacts in different ways to damp wiping or treatment with the latest &#8220;wood care products.&#8221; These often contain non-drying oils, which are then absorbed by the wood cells during so-called maintenance and can cause oil blooms. In such cases, radical washing of the wood, for example, to build up a new shellac polish, is the final restorative solution.      <\/p>\n<p>In short: When caring for furniture, the care products and the existing surface coating of the wood should be compatible. Only then will you avoid damaging the wood through cleaning or care. A trained eye, or even an examination by a restorer, can help you with identification and with advice on sensible measures in the area of wood protection.            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"accordion__single active\">\n    <div class=\"accordion__title\">\n        <div class=\"accordion__title-wrapper\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__title-text\">\n                    Can I carry out the restoration of my furniture myself?                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <div class=\"accordion__content\">\n            <div class=\"accordion__content_inner\">\n                If you have the necessary expertise, then of course. Otherwise, with historic furniture it is strongly discouraged if you do not have the relevant knowledge, because an object can quickly end up \u201cover-restored\u201d, and then the damage can only be repaired with great difficulty. <\/p>\n<p>If your furniture or wooden object has significant financial, qualitative, sentimental, or historical value, you should always commission a restorer for conservation and\/or restoration.<\/p>\n<p>A layperson should fundamentally avoid working on shellac surfaces. Although descriptions on the internet sound very simple, they can only be applied flawlessly with appropriate practice. <\/p>\n<p>Old paintings are often hidden under layers of old paint on rustic furniture. These paint layers must be removed professionally. Fittings and hinges are also frequently cleaned too aggressively or not removed at all.  <\/p>\n<p>If you have a piece of furniture in need of restoration, please consult with me. If the costs are too high for you, I can provide some tips on how you can repair and treat your old treasures with a bit of manual skill.            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"spacer spacer--m\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row enable_gray_background_for_row=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row enable_gray_background_for_row=&#8221;yes&#8221; el_class=&#8221;container-padding proven-center&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2155&#8243; img_size=&#8221;245&#215;82&#8243; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row enable_gray_background_for_row=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Would you like to restore the lustre of a cherished piece of furniture?
