Mid-century furniture holds a special place in many New England homes and businesses, blending timeless design with nostalgic charm. At Manzi Appraisers & Restorers, we’re passionate about preserving these pieces through our expert restoration services. With over 20 years of experience in Boston, we’ve restored countless mid-century items, and we’re here to help you bring your furniture back to its original glory.
Our restoration process starts with a careful assessment. We examine the piece for damage, wear, and structural issues, whether it’s a teak dining table with water stains or a lounge chair with faded upholstery. For a client in New England, we restored a mid-century credenza that had been damaged in a fire, addressing both the smoke stains and the warped wood. Our attention to detail ensures we understand exactly what your piece needs.
We use specialized techniques to restore your furniture while preserving its authenticity. For wood pieces, we refinish surfaces with period-appropriate stains and sealants, maintaining the original grain and color. In a recent project, we refinished a set of mid-century chairs, removing scratches and restoring their warm walnut finish to look as good as new. For upholstery, we source fabrics that match the era’s aesthetic, ensuring the piece stays true to its roots.
Structural repairs are a key part of our service. We reinforce joints, repair broken legs, and replace missing hardware with authentic replicas. For a Boston collector, we repaired a mid-century sofa with a broken frame, ensuring it was sturdy enough for daily use while keeping its sleek design intact. Our goal is to make your furniture both functional and beautiful, so you can enjoy it for years to come.
We also offer appraisal services alongside restoration. If you’re unsure of your piece’s value, we can appraise it before or after restoration, helping you decide whether to keep, sell, or consign it. In one case, we appraised a restored mid-century desk and found its value had doubled, making it a prime candidate for our consignment service. We’re here to provide a full-service experience that meets all your needs.
At Manzi Appraisers & Restorers, we’re dedicated to preserving the beauty of mid-century furniture for New England clients. Let us restore your piece to its former glory, so you can continue to enjoy its timeless appeal.
