Antique Restorers

The main character of an antique is its age. During which it may exchange many hands, go through various climatic conditions, daily wear and tear, repairs or just general neglect. The intricate details and carvings of these usually handmade and styled masterpieces will over time attract a lot of dust or the patterns may get chipped and bruised. In the case of automobiles, rust on the body may have taken its toll.

Professional antique restoration companies use craft and skill to restore antiques. They use techniques learned over many years and experience, usually acquired in a family business to enhance and restore the appearance of antiques. Antique restoration can be defined as the repair and refurbishment of a valuable item that was produced many years ago, be it a piece of furniture or a work of art. Restoring the item brings it back to its original condition. It also involves conservation which is the practice of preserving an antique or a work of art against further deterioration. 

Antique restoration can be as simple as a light cleaning to remove disfiguring dirt and grime on the surface of a painting. It can also be the complete rebuilding or replacement of parts as with antique automobiles or furniture. This is often done in preparation for sale mainly to collectors.
