ANTIQUE RESTORATION

Expert Furniture Restoration Since 1932

Antique restoration is a true art and requires very special attention and care. Antiques are our specialty and is the heart of what we do!

Our in-house master craftsmen have the expertise to provide extensive frame and coil spring repair or replacement.

We bring your furniture back to its original beauty using various old world techniques including hand stitching, button tufting, sewn channeling and the use of decorative nail heads and horse hair.

Trust Imperial With Your Heirlooms

When trying to make restoration decisions, it's important to identify the value of a piece, as well as the reason for the restoration. Some pieces can be quite valuable. Most antique restoration work is completed on pieces that hold more sentimental than monetary value.

Some antique owners restore or refinish a piece to revive a cherished heirloom. Others are looking to preserve a piece that could hold significant monetary or historical value. It's important to know the facts about antique restoration before deciding how to proceed with a piece.

We are antique restoration experts and will help you determine the value of a piece and what steps will enhance—or hurt—the market value of your antiques.

For close to 100 years and 4 generations, we have been helping customers breathe new life into treasured antique furniture, and we look forward to another 100 years of service.

If you have any questions about our antique restoration services, please give us a call or stop by our Fabric Showroom in West Hartford, CT. Our knowledgeable staff and craftsmen are always available to answer any questions regarding your antique restoration.
