Game Table Restoration ✨
A complete restoration bringing this beautiful game table back to life while preserving its original character.

Structural and veneer repairs, careful refinishing, French polishing, and a hand-waxed finish brought back the depth and movement of the mahogany.

Custom Crackle Finish Development

Two samples, two distinct crackle patterns.

Sample I — finer, more irregular cracking
Sample II — more pronounced, organic cracking

Developing custom finishes is a process of testing texture, depth and character before applying the final finish.

Which do you prefer — Sample I or Sample II?

Another successful custom restoration by ADA Antiques.

This antique sofa couldn’t fit through the client’s doorway without risking damage.

To preserve the original design, I engineered a concealed removable leg system using precision-cut joints, steel alignment pins, and hidden reinforcement plates. The sofa was then reassembled in the client’s home, maintaining its original appearance while making future moves possible.

Every project is different, and sometimes restoration is about creating a custom solution that respects the integrity of the piece.

Preserving beauty. Solving problems.

🛠️ From the ADA Workshop

Still waiting for the right home.

The Earth Side Table is a one-of-a-kind piece inspired by the colors and textures of nature. Handcrafted in Union City, New Jersey, every detail was created with the goal of making something timeless.

Some pieces aren’t made for everyone—they’re made for the person who connects with them.

Could that be you?

✨ ART DECO COFFEE TABLE RESTORATION COMPLETE ✨

This beautiful Art Deco coffee table arrived at ADA Antiques with a heavily worn, checked lacquer finish that had lost much of its original character.

🔨 Restoration Process
• Stripped the damaged finish
• Carefully re-stained the walnut veneer
• Applied multiple coats of lacquer
• Wet-sanded and polished using the Menzerna polishing system
• Brought back depth, clarity, and a rich high-gloss finish

The result is a stunning transformation that highlights the incredible grain and beauty of the original walnut veneer while preserving the table’s Art Deco elegance.

Every piece has a story. Restoring and preserving these pieces for future generations is what ADA Antiques is all about.

✨ Another piece saved. Another happy customer.
