          Antique Signs We Restore

          We have restored many collectible and sought after vintage signs—from 18th century minimalist wood signs and early 19th century hand-painted tin signs & lithographs, to porcelain enamel signs—our master craftsmen and artists have preserved the days of yore and brought oft forgotten memories back to life.

          Our clients range from high-value collectors to families who have sentimental signs that were passed down to them.

          Levels of Antique Sign Restoration

          Mumford Restoration provides several levels of wood, enamel, and metal sign restoration:

          • Thourough cleaning

          • Rust removal

          • Wood Restoration

          • Touch-up & In-painting

          • Metal restoration including sandblasting, repainting, repair, and clear coating

          Depending on your goals and vision, your antique sign restoration could involve any one or all of these levels. An evaluation is necessary to determine a precise process and restoration cost.

          We take great delight in seeing these signs brought back to life, not only because they are a unique and challenging project, but because they are beautiful and vibrant when properly restored! As with any restoration project, it is important to ask yourself what value the piece has to you, and how you want to use or display your antique sign after restoration.
