Services

In Austria, we have been one of the most important suppliers of exclusive antique furniture from the XVII and XIX centuries for years. The focus of our offer is above all on furniture and decorative art from France. These were among the most sought-after internationally and dominated the European market for centuries. They became the model for all European art styles.

We believe that antique furniture is currently trading below its true value. Several factors suggest that prices will return to a reasonable level in the near future.

Never before has the argument of sustainability and environmental protection been as relevant as it is today. The use of antique furniture for generations to come reduces the CO2 emissions that inevitably result from the production of new furniture.

However, one should not buy individual pieces indiscriminately. It makes sense to develop a concept that will be realised over several years and that corresponds to both your taste and your financial possibilities. Antique furnishings should give you and future generations a lot of pleasure and be of lasting value. The purchase is not a consumption but an investment. Antique furniture protects the environment and the purse of your descendants.

We would like to help you create and realise such a concept in a free consultation. We would like to share our decades of rich experience with you.

Our customers appreciate not only our furniture, but above all our care. Because we are also available when a small repair or restoration is needed – even if the objects were not purchased from us.

Restoration of antique furniture

In our studio in Vienna-Alsergrund, we work as we did in centuries past. The same materials are used, as well as traditional craft methods and processes. Our working areas are:

  • Restoration of veneered and solid furniture. We only use sawn veneers and precious woods from recuperation in order to comply with species protection laws.
  • Gilding of antique metallic objects such as bronze fittings, clock cases, candelabras, etc.
  • Profiling and repairing marble furniture panels.
  • Wallpapering of seating furniture based on seaweed and horsehair.
  • Renewing damaged, gold-embossed leather supports on desks and secretaries.

Object search

If you have a precise idea of what you have been looking for, perhaps unsuccessfully for a long time, then we will find it through our decades-old Europe-wide network, buy it for you and, if necessary, restore it. You will then get exactly what you are looking for in perfect condition.

 

Art Consulting

We are also available if, for example, you are interested in an item at auction. We will take a close look at the condition of the object and tell you what additional restoration costs you might have to pay after the purchase.

We are happy to cooperate with your interior designer, who may know a lot about aesthetics and creativity, but is not a proven art expert or cannot find the ideal objects. If they decide to include antique objects in their home furnishings, then not only the look but also the value should be right.
