Unlike modern mass-produced pieces, antique furniture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries often features hand-cut dovetail joints, hide glue, and original shellac or varnish finishes that demand specialized techniques. At Buffalo Stucco Painting, the process begins with a thorough assessment of the piece's age, wood species, and original finish type. We strip only the degraded layers, preserving any original patina that adds character and value. For pieces with intricate carvings or inlay work, we use gentle chemical strippers and hand-scraping to avoid damaging delicate details. After stripping, we sand by hand, never with aggressive power tools that can remove the subtle contours of aged wood. The refinishing stage involves applying period-appropriate finishes—such as tung oil, shellac, or hand-rubbed polyurethane—that restore depth and luster without masking the piece's history. For clients in Buffalo's historic homes, this work matters because it maintains the architectural integrity of neighborhoods like Allentown and the Elmwood Village, where original built-ins and freestanding furniture often need restoration to match the home's era. Neglecting proper refinishing can lead to cracked finishes, wood rot, or loss of structural soundness, which is why we prioritize methods that extend the life of each piece while honoring its provenance. The refinishing process also addresses common Buffalo-specific issues: high humidity from Lake Erie can cause veneers to bubble or lift, and older homes may have uneven floors that stress furniture joints. We stabilize veneers with conservation-grade adhesives and reinforce loose joints with hide glue, respecting the original construction. For painted antique furniture, we identify lead-based paints and handle them according to EPA safety standards, then apply milk paint or chalk paint for an authentic, breathable finish. Whether it's a Victorian sideboard, a Federal-period desk, or a mid-century modern chair, each project receives a custom approach. We never apply a one-size-fits-all finish; instead, we match the sheen and texture to the piece's era and intended use. This attention to detail ensures that refinished antiques remain functional for daily use while retaining their investment value. For Buffalo homeowners and collectors, proper refinishing means a piece can stay in the family for generations, not just look good for a few seasons. ## Areas We Cover in Buffalo We provide antique furniture refinishing services throughout Buffalo and its surrounding neighborhoods.
