Preserve Your Family's History With Antique Preservation

Antique Preservation Defined

Preservation, as defined by Merriam-Webster is, “the activity or process of keeping something valued alive, intact, or free from damage or decay.” In other words when you have a Louis XV piece, you don’t refinish it, perhaps don’t even restore it. Focus on preserving, protecting, cleaning, and minor repairs, as you would a fine art piece that is meant to last for centuries.
