Refinishing furniture is an excellent way to continue enjoying its use.  Lines Circles & Angles Custom Upholstery & Repair specializes in breathing new life into furniture for their Cincinnati, OH, customers. If the piece in question is an antique or an heirloom, you may be concerned with retaining its value. Below is a brief guide to refinishing these items and what you should consider when deciding whether or not to do so. 

Look Forward to Increased Value 

Most furniture can be cleaned and refinished without affecting its value negatively. That’s because many old pieces aren’t collectibles or rare antiques to begin with, and any improvements only serve to benefit the owner. Even if your item qualifies as an antique, meaning it is more than 100 years old, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s valuable.

Before you take your furniture to get refinished, you should verify that it’s not a period piece or built by a notable craftsman. You can do this by checking the underside of it for information about its origin. If you’re not sure, you can always get an expert’s opinion.

Choose Minimally Invasive Restoration Methods

furnitureIf there is a possibility that you have a valuable item, it’s best to choose the least invasive method to restore it to its former glory. You may proceed the same way if the piece is of sentimental value to your family, such as an heirloom. In either case, you’ll want to consider a light cleaning and minor repairs to make it functional and beautiful again.  

If you have broken furniture with a missing leg or torn cushions, you can still choose to restore it to its original condition. In this case, the restoration process must carefully match the material and color of the existing item.
