Care & Maintenance Guide
Preserving the beauty and integrity of antique and vintage furniture requires thoughtful care. Follow these essential guidelines to ensure your treasured pieces remain stunning for generations to come.
-
Avoid Direct Sunlight & Humidity
Keep your antique furniture away from direct sunlight and areas with high humidity to prevent fading, warping, and wood deterioration.
-
Use Gentle Cleaners
Clean with a soft, dry cloth or use specialized wood cleaners designed for antiques. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
-
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Never use abrasive cleaners, ammonia, or silicone-based products, as these can damage original finishes and diminish the piece's value.
-
Lift, Don't Drag
When moving furniture, always lift from the base or strongest points. Dragging can damage legs, joints, and floor surfaces.
-
Embrace the Patina
The natural aging and patina of antique furniture adds character and authenticity. Avoid over-restoration to preserve historical value.
