Mumford's Restoration

Our fascination with antique furniture began Mumford Restoration of Raleigh's passion for the unique art of woodworking, repair, and restoration. In our modern era where low cost and convenience have introduced a cultural mindset of five-year replacement furniture as all the rage, it's a rare gift to observe a piece made for beauty, function, and longevity. Even more importantly, these pieces often hold our unique family history. Nothing can inspire a memory quite like the furniture we played on as a child, Grandma's favorite Sunday china, the books and Bibles our grandparents read to us, among many other treasured pieces that may provoke that feeling of nostalgia.

Mumford Restoration provides careful, quality furniture repair and restoration services around Raleigh and the entire state of North Carolina. Our furniture repair and restoration experts will evaluate the condition of your piece and consult with you on exactly what we suggest to maintain or increase the value of the piece, whether your concern is sentimental or monetary.

When the legs of your Great Aunt Vickie's antique chair breaks, you call Mumford Restoration of Raleigh because you know we specialize in antique & furniture repair. But what do we mean when say we repair your antiques & furniture? Repair as defined by Webster's dictionary is "to restore to a sound good state after decay, injury, dilapidation, or partial destruction; to renew; to restore; to mend." When a vintage or antique peice is in regular use, it can often break. We focus on mending the piece so that it looks as good as new.

Mumford Restoration specializes in keeping your treasured memories alive through conservation of your antiques and furniture. But what do we mean when we use the term conservation? Conservation as defined by Webster's dictionary, is the act of preserving, guarding or protecting; preservation from loss, decay, injury or violation. The official care and protection of natural resources. In other words when you have a Louis XV piece, don't refinish it, perhaps don't even restore it (unless of course it has been neglected for 100 years).
