Mid-Century Modern Furniture Restoration in Stratford, Connecticut

Precision Repairs and Refinishing for Iconic 20th-Century Furniture

At CT Furniture Restoration, we specialize in the restoration and repair of authentic Mid-Century Modern furniture from the 1940s through the 1970s. Our team works with vintage pieces from well-known designers and manufacturers, restoring them with care while preserving their original proportions, finishes, and construction details.

From sculptural walnut credenzas to classic Danish chairs, our goal is to extend the life of your piece while maintaining its value and design integrity. We serve clients throughout Fairfield County, Connecticut, and work with clients and dealers nationwide from our equipped workshop in Stratford, CT.

What We Restore

We work with a wide range of Mid-Century furniture — both mass-produced and custom-built — including American, Danish, and Italian pieces. We take a materials-conscious approach that respects original joinery, wood species, and design-era finishes.

Our Mid-Century restoration services include:

  • Refinishing Teak, Walnut, Rosewood & Oak
    Careful hand-stripping and refinishing of wood surfaces, using low-sheen lacquers, natural oils, or matte poly finishes to match the original look.

  • Structural Repairs
    Reinforcing or re-gluing loose joints in chairs, credenzas, case goods, and tables while preserving the piece’s design.

  • Veneer Repair and Edge Work
    Replacing or repairing chipped or peeling veneer using matching wood grain and clean, invisible seams.

  • Hardware Replacement
    Sourcing period-appropriate drawer pulls, legs, and hardware elements, or fabricating replacements when necessary.

  • Color Correction and Finish Blending
    Addressing sun fading, heat rings, or finish wear with careful color matching and touch-up work.

  • Upholstery Prep (Frames Only)
    Stabilizing chair frames or armrests prior to upholstery; coordinating with upholstery professionals when needed.

  • Original Footing & Leg Repairs
    Restoring or replacing original brass, wood, or metal leg caps, glides, and structural footings.

  • Restoration of Branded Designer Pieces
    Including Knoll, Eames, Milo Baughman, Jens Risom, Lane, Paul McCobb, George Nelson, and others.
