D & D Collins has been in the furniture restoration craft for over 30 years and have completed hundreds of restoration projects successfully.

Correctly restoring a cherished piece of furniture requires it to be treated individually depending on the material used to make the piece, the environment in which it has lived, and it's condition. Also to be taken into consideration is the purpose for restoring the piece and the final expectation. Once these are determined the restorer can select the required materials, methods and techniques to
use in the restoration process.

Certified antique furniture often has very significant value, both monetary and sentimental. Particular care must be taken to maintain as much of the original piece as possible. This can involve employing some traditional joining methods, specific staining techniques and often a very individual french polishing method, to correctly match old and new pieces.
