Museum Conservation

Museum Conservation is both the art and science of restoring historical items to their former funtional or aethetic state. These items may be anything from a few small chairs or an entire rooms or exhibit in a museum.

DF Conservation specializes in museum quality restoration of period and contemporary furniture, woodwork, and wooden architectural objects. Attention to detail and a respect for the integrity of a piece during the restoration process allow us to retain its original nature as much as possible.

Call us at 718-381-3548 if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment. We're located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn just outside of New York City.
