Our Restoration Philosophy

​

At KLP Restorations, we don’t aim to make antique furniture look brand new.

Instead, our approach is based on preserving the character, structure and story of each piece, while ensuring it remains strong and functional for future generations.

This conservation-minded restoration style is especially suited to:

• family heirloom furniture

• antique dining tables and chairs

• cedar, walnut, mahogany and pine furniture

• veneer furniture

• early Australian pieces

• English and European antiques

• quality vintage furniture

Every restoration is individually assessed to determine the most appropriate traditional repair approach.

​
