Anyone who’s ever watched The Antiques Roadshow will know how much the condition can affect the value of older furniture. 

However, it’s not just about the price. Many pieces of furniture have a sentimental value and might have been in your family for generations. Perhaps a cabinet belonged to your great grandfather, or you have a beautiful Edwardian table where your ancestors used to sit.

Alternatively, perhaps you’ve found a stunning piece at an antique shop near Chelsea. Whatever your situation, our team loves working on all types of projects.

What are the signs furniture needs restoring?

Perhaps you’ve noticed visible damage, like cracks or chips. Or maybe the paint, varnish or lacquer has peeled away. If you have a wooden antique, it might have suffered from water damage, which can cause rot and mould.

You might have noticed the upholstery has deteriorated. Perhaps it even has missing parts like handles or decorative parts.
