We at Red House understand that over the years, furniture is subject to wear and tear, especially since our pieces come from obscure parts of China. Therefore we specialize in restoration, to bring these pieces back to their former glory. We take pride in ensuring the best job possible is done. Even when dismantling the pieces to ensure that no spot is missed, we do so with great care, making sure that no nails or screws are used in reassembling.

In the restoration process, we stress on wet sanding each piece by hand and applying raw lacquer coats up to 5 times with yarn to preserve the artifacts’ original finish and patina. This is all part and parcel of the French polish finishing technique, which is considered to be one of the most sophisticated and elaborate techniques used to finish wood in the world today. While this process is long and arduous, the long lasting jade-like sheen well makes up for it. As a result of its prestige, these exclusive furniture with such finishing comes at an affordable price.

We at Red House are one of the few workshops left in Singapore who still subscribe to this delicate art. Still, we take pride in our work and therefore our ability to bring our customers antiques of the highest caliber.

In addition to restoration, we are also able to custom make pieces to suit our clients’ needs.
