Heirloom restoration
Careful work for family furniture whose history, construction, and familiar character deserve respect.
Charleston, South Carolina
Furniture restoration for pieces worth preserving.
We restore family heirlooms, long-loved favorites, and well-made vintage furniture for clients throughout the Charleston area. The goal is not to erase a piece’s history—it is to repair what time has worn, reveal its character, and return it ready for another generation.
Ask about your furnitureA thoughtful process
Restoration shaped around the piece.
Every project begins with an honest evaluation of the wood, veneer, construction, existing finish, repairs, and intended use. From there, we develop a practical plan that may include cleaning, structural repair, stripping, careful sanding, color correction, staining, finish rebuilding, hardware renewal, and protective topcoats.
We especially welcome furniture with genuine family meaning: a dresser inherited from a parent, a table tied to years of gatherings, or a well-built chair a family wants to keep in daily use.
Wood refinishing
Old coatings are evaluated and renewed to reveal attractive grain while protecting the surface for everyday use.
Vintage furniture renewal
Quality pieces from Lane, Drexel, Baker, Broyhill, Bassett, Thomasville, Henredon, and other respected makers.

What kinds of furniture do you restore?
We focus on well-made wood furniture, vintage pieces, family heirlooms, and furniture with construction or personal history worth preserving.
Can you match the original finish?
Sometimes. We evaluate the existing finish and wood first, then recommend preservation, color correction, or a new finish that suits the piece and your goals.
