Using mostly natural-based products, more green than toxic, de Villermay keeps antique furniture looking its best with on-site visits to homes and businesses.

Services offered by Antique Furniture Preservation include cleaning, waxing, oiling, revival of colors and finishes, partial touch-up and refinishing, white ring removal, gilding touch-ups, leather treatment and insurance claims for damage from storms and other natural disasters.

“I believe that any intervention must be guided by reflection, sensibility and absolute respect for the piece of art, and I believe that the soul of an object is more than the sum of its parts. Its original craftsmanship, the materials of construction, the information inherent to its fabrication are all integral to its nature. But the personality of an object develops through time. And these developments must be respected, not erased,” says de Villermay.
