How do you choose a Restorer or Conservator?

Choosing the right restorer or conservator is an important decision. The wrong choice could result in permanent damage to your furniture, affecting both its value and appearance. Poor or inexperienced workmanship, or excess restoration can be irreversible, so it is essential to choose with care.
