Restoration process

Produced in the 60s or 70s means that all furniture has already had a whole life. And that is often visible. Vintage Designs only sells vintage furniture that is in a good condition. To achieve that, almost all products are restored to repair damage and heavy wear. After restoration there are always light wear visible but that gives the furniture its authenticity.

Almost every piece of furniture is made of veneered wood, regardless of the country of origin. Restoration work consists of sanding the veneer to remove dirt, scratches and water marks from, for example, plant pots and then treating the veneer with hard wax oil. Sometimes the veneer is so damaged that the veneer is replaced locally with a new piece of veneer. Some furniture has a painted panel. Often it is sufficient to polish the original paint layer, making it shine again as the paint did when it was produced in the 1960s.

The furniture is also cleaned and made functional again. The construction is checked and repaired if necessary. Hinges are replaced if necessary, locks are checked and lost keys are made again. Or the lock is replaced so that the doors close properly again. Drawers are cleaned and open and close perfectly again so that you can store your things with pleasure.

With this you purchase a beautiful original and high-quality piece of furniture that can last a lifetime. Moreover, Vintage Designs gives a 12-month guarantee on every piece of furniture.
