Stan Damewood Maker and Conservator of Fine Furnishings

I had the pleasure of doing an in-house in one of River Oak's finest mansions today. Our clients demand perfection and we deliver.

Our client knowingly selected this exceptional circa 1880 American walnut marble-top mirrored dresser, and we are meticulously restoring it to its original splendor. Our process encompassed stripping the overlying grey paint, re-veneering the drawer fronts and mirror components, polishing the brass hardware, and repolishing the marble top. Further updates will follow as work progresses.

Our client spotted this piece’s potential right away, and that vision is finally coming to life as we work to save this c.1880 walnut, marble‑top mirrored dresser from “Fanny the furniture flipper” and her can of “rental gray” paint—more updates ahead.

We are pleased to offer a limited-time opportunity to bid on a custom-made chair crafted from premium Walnut, with 50% of the proceeds going to a charitable cause. Bidding for 'The Gavin Newsom' chair starts at $10,000.

In business, it pays to stand out — and we’re proud to do just that. A recent AI-driven market search compared our performance with competitors across Houston, the results confirm what our clients already know: our commitment to quality, service, and innovation puts us ahead of the pack. Excellence isn’t just our goal — it’s our standard.
