| Once the exclusive province of museums and the
carriage trade, the restoration and conservation of antique furniture and highly prized collectibles has increased in demand in recent years. |
| For a very simple reason. Mass production has taken its toll,
making quality furnishings all the more desirable.
Master craftsmen like Chippendale and Hepplewhite, as well as countless wood carvers, cabinetmakers and other talented artisans who expressed their genius in solid wood and intricate inlay veneer, truly represented a lost art. Aunt Rose's Victorian Parlor chairs, the old rocking horse, and Red Flyer wagon in the attic have all taken on great sentimental, if not monetary, worth to you family. Whether a cherished piece has appreciated or you love it for sentimental reasons, it may be well worth conservation. |

Wood becomes dry and cracks. Glue brittle. Veneer and marquetry separate. The finish "has seen better days." Table corners get gouged. A drawer doesn't slide well. Water has damaged a top. A piece of molding is gone. The possibilities are endless. This is where we come in. And why you should call The Lost Art for the opinion and services of a master craftsman. To see if repair is feasible and if it is worth the money to restore a piece to its full utility. To get a professional opinion before doing something you won't be happy with in the years ahead. |
