Skarby PRL

PRL and Art Deco furniture restoration — Łomianki, near Warsaw

Every old piece of furniture has a story, and we know how to make it last for generations to come. At SkarbyPRLu, we don't take shortcuts. We meticulously strip thick layers of old lacquer, repair noble veneers with jewelry-like precision, and finish the wood with premium natural hard wax oils.

Whether you have a family heirloom, a flea market find, or a vintage piece that has lost its former glory, we will gladly restore it to its salon elegance.

Skarby PRLu workshop: Fiołka 1, Łomianki, near Warsaw. We restore wooden furniture, repair veneer and renew upholstery. Please call to arrange your visit.

Quality Recognized by Experts

Our work is not just a passion; it is top-tier craftsmanship. In 2024, the quality of our restoration was put to the test on the hit TV show "Łowcy Skarbów. Kto da więcej?" (Treasure Hunters). Art and antique appraisers highly praised the craftsmanship of a sideboard we restored. We invite you to watch a short clip featuring our work!

Furniture restoration — before and after

Two different pieces, two restoration projects. See genuine photos of the damage and results for an Art Deco table and PRL Serduszka chairs. Select a photo to see the details at full size.

Art Deco table restoration — veneer repair and oil finish

The tabletop had lifting veneer and the edge showed damaged veneer. The old finish had become cloudy, obscuring the decorative wood grain. These photos show the table before work and after restoration in our workshop.

Work completed

  • Repairing the veneer on the top and edge.
  • Removing the old lacquer.
  • Protecting the surface with hard oil resistant to water, hot cups and alcohol.

Restoration reveals the radial veneer pattern and depth of the wood colour again. The oil finish brings out the grain. Wipe up spills and use coasters to care for the surface.

PRL Serduszka chair restoration — frames and new upholstery

These Serduszka chairs arrived with worn, mismatched upholstery. We restored the wooden frames and replaced the padding in the seats and backrests, retaining their distinctive shape.

Work completed

  • Restoring the wooden frames.
  • Replacing the seat and backrest padding.
  • Fitting new burgundy upholstery.

The new upholstery creates a coordinated pair and highlights the heart-shaped backrests. Restored wood and new padding complete the work: this restoration goes beyond replacing the fabric.
