Renovation/repair vintage furniture

Anonymous
I have three pieces that need some work -- none of them are really expensive pieces, just solid family hand-me downs that I'd prefer not to junk. I'd love someone who would come pick them up, repair the easy repair on-site, and take the others off to fix them. It is:
-- a mid-century mahagony table where a few of the wooden peg connectors broke, meaning that the leg attachment came apart
-- a 1930s era table (maybe walnut?) that need refinishing and some work where the iron undercarriage came loose
-- a mid-19th century end table that needs refinishing and a reattachment of a piece that came apart
I'm in the Bethesda area. Any recommendations? Thank you!

Upholstery Restoration in Kensington. They have made many repairs for my antiques over the years - mostly hardwood stuff with no fabric so don’t let the name deter you.

I haven’t used his services personally, but the owner of Peg Leg Vintage recommended Raymond Burkett Restorations in Takoma Park

Try A Perfect Finish in merrifield. Great work (they refinished and repaired a chair and mirror for me) and will pick up from your house.

I've used Raymond Burkett and he's great. He used to repair furniture for the Smithsonian, if you have antiques, but he does vintage furniture too.

I second that . Do everything with upholstery and woodwork.
Free estimate with a service of pick up and delivery

Those are beyond vintage and called antique now.

Sound like neat pieces. Should show some before and after pics on here.

Years ago, I used a restoration guy who worked with Modern Mobler and he did a great job. You could check with them if they still have the association.
