Worth knowing
Worth checking before work starts
A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.
Photos help
Photograph the piece, any damage, and any maker's labels or marks underneath. They help a restorer understand the job before they visit.
Fabric
Ask whether the upholsterer supplies the fabric or you do, and how much is needed. A patterned fabric needs more, so the pattern lines up.
Antiques
Before an old piece is stripped or refinished, ask the restorer whether it could affect its value. Some finishes are best repaired rather than replaced.
