Product Description

Product Description
Designed for amateurs interested in the restoration of antique or period wooden furniture, this handbook provides step-by-step explanations of techniques and methods. It gives advice on how to date furniture, how to restore damaged structures and surfaces, and how to apply finishing touches. The reader is not expected to be a skilled cabinet maker, but he or she will be shown, in step-by-step detail, the most frequently encountered restoration tasks and problems. The experienced amateur should have no difficulty in following the techniques and methods utilized, while the less experienced should find much practical information showing how objects can be restored.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent bench-side source book., 23 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This book is quite simply the best book by far on the subject of antique furniture restoration. From the very start, it explains in detail what to look for, in terms of fake furniture, showing period fittings and screws. The book also shows, in full colour detail, cabinet repair work taking you though the process, stage by stage. The final part of the book talks about finishing pieces, from bleaching to the final colouring-out stages. With close-up photographs, it will be hard to put this book down.
