A.R.S. Antiqua Co., LLC.

Restoring antiques is a rewarding and economical way to fill a home with fine furniture, but for many of us, the process leads to a deeper experience, of forging links to the past. Whether firming up a wobbly joint or uncovering the natural wood grain under multiple layers of paint, returning a piece of timeworn furniture to its original condition is like traveling back in time to discover the methods of a woodworker from another generation. We can appreciate the skill used and perhaps learn from any mistakes the builder/finisher made.

A.R.S. Antiqua Co., LLC has been in the antique and furniture restoration/conservation field since 1989. Throughout the years we stripped, finished, refinished, repaired and restored hundreds of antiques and pieces of furniture.
