An antique furniture restorer revives old, worn furniture to its former glory. This skilled craft involves assessing damage, repairing structural issues, and restoring finishes while preserving historical integrity. Techniques include woodwork repair, veneer replacement, refinishing, and reupholstering, using tools like chisels, sanders, and specialty glues. Restorers match original materials and finishes, often researching period-specific styles to ensure authenticity. They may strip old varnish, repair joints, or carve missing details. The goal is to balance functionality with aesthetic and historical value, making pieces usable while retaining their antique charm. Patience, precision, and knowledge of woodworking and historical furniture styles are essential for success in this meticulous trade.
