Antique Restoration Companies in San Francisco

“When my parents sold my childhood home and downsized to a 2-bedroom apartment, my siblings and I jumped at the chance to scoop up some of their great furniture. It’s not that I loved the style of my parents furniture - it’s all fairly traditional American/English style - but I did love the idea of having these incredibly well constructed pieces and keeping the furniture (and memories!) in our family. I ended up with a small apartment worth of furniture when all was divided up! I wasn’t quite sure where to turn as I had never bought antiques/vintage furniture that needed to be re-done. I asked for a few recommendations from a friend who is an interior designer - she gave me only one name and told me they would take care of everything for me: Revitaliste. Best recommendations I’ve ever gotten! I decided to start with my “new” dining table and chairs. The table had a lot of water marks and the leaves were a totally different color than the rest of the table as they seldom were used. Some of the chairs were a bit rickety and all of them had absolutely no padding left in the seats. The fabric was tired and dated. In other words, this dining set needed a complete makeover. Working with Revitaliste was SO easy and fun! I uploaded pictures of my table and chairs on their website and got a quote back immediately. I filled out a design questionnaire that they then used to help me figure out the best wood stain color and sheen for the protective coat as well as the fabric for the seats. I loved how they took into consideration the fact that we have young kids and love to entertain. The fabrics they suggested were all stain resistant and gorgeous!!! When we’d finally decided on all the details, they picked up the whole set and a few weeks later they return the most INCREDIBLE dining room set!! I’ve also now re-done a pair of nightstands for my daughter’s bedroom - we lacquered them a sweet light pink color. The next project up is a super cool caned bench; we’re going to replace the broken caning and make a seat cushion for it. I’m slowly but surely working my way through the remaining furniture. I love having the help of Revitaliste’s designers to guide me in making choices that work with my existing decor and that are family friendly!! It’s also incredibly helpful to be able to use one company for “revitalizing” all the furniture I got from my parents.”
