Furniture Refinishing and Repair

About us

have been working as an antiques conservator in the Washington DC area for over 35 years. I was trained by my grandfather, William Walzer, a highly respected wood sculptor. After college, I was fortunate to work with many fine craftsman at the Smithsonian Museum (Arts and Industry building) helping construct the Bicentennial exhibit in 1976. Over the years I have worked on many fine historic pieces. My clients include the National Gallery of Art, Dumbarton Oaks, top interior designers, antique dealers and private collectors. My team of 14 and I specialize in 18th century and early 19th century furniture but are happy to work on earlier and later pieces. Using proper conservation techniques we achieve a well cared for look.

Description of Work: After an devastating house fire I contacted Nick Greer to restore a wooden chest from the Middle East. The chest was severely burned. He rebuilt the the side that was most damaged. He also rebuilt the lid and preserved the brass design then put it on the lid and sides. Honestly, Nick Greer is an outstanding craftsman. It's hard to believe it was ever damaged. He picked up my furniture and delivered it when it was complete. Mr. Greer does restoration work for the US Department of State and the White House.

Description of Work: Although the work (which was not an antique piece of furniture) was simple enough - the cost was quite high. Unless I have antique items to be restored (and they are very professional and good at this) the cost to value ratio does not justify having them do it.

Inherited a blonde solid maple bedroom set (beds, night stands, mirror, and dresser) made in the 50s. They had been used for many years and in storage so they needed to be cleaned and refinished. Met with Nick who came out to provide estimates. He was very knowledgeable and I am looking forward to have him work on some other items plus the rest of the set.

He and his team did a gorgeous job restoring my antique Arab, Mexican and Indonesian wood furniture after a house fire. After spending months on the internet attempting to find replacements, I located Nick. He was optimistic repairing my furniture would not be a problem for him. It wasn't -- I couldn't be happier. My insurance covered the all the repairs
Description of Work: Nick removed and cleaned all the ornate brass on my Kuwait chest and replaced the damaged teak. He removed the charred wood from the wooden armoire, removed water stains and burns from the coffee table, and lastly repaired the finish on an ornate Indonesian table. Nick Greer picks up and delivers your furniture.
