America's Top Antique Furniture Restorer Launches New Informative Website
(Web.com) August 16, 2007 -- Located in the San Francisco bay area but servicing the needs of collectors & connoisseurs all over the United States & Europe, top antique furniture restorer Anthony Cardona launches a new informative website, www.cardonarestoration.com with pictures of recent restoration projects & testimonials from happy clients.
Third generation in the antiques business having grown up in England the son of an auctioneer Anthony is considered an expert on 18th & early 19th Century furniture by those in the know.
One well known California collector summed up Anthonys considerable talents recently by saying "miraculous is the only way to describe some of the work he has done for me".
Clients reside as far away as Europe and all over the United states-some shipping valuable pieces directly to Anthony with others preferring to have pieces attended to on site.
Hving such vast knowledge of period furniture, finishes & construction Anthony is an invaluable ally for collectors & investors & offers a service for clients needing expert advice wishing to buy at the major auction houses.
He also has a service offering a second opinion for blue chip collectors who are purchasing pieces at top antique fairs and would like a qualified opinion of authenticity and condition that is not based on the views of a vetting committee.
Says one major East Coast collector, "I don't care what any auction house is saying about a particular piece I'm thinking of buying-unless Anthony gives it the thumbs up I wont touch it" - "he can look at a piece of furniture he has never seen before and within 30 seconds can tell you the date it was made,where it was made, and what materials were used-it's astounding but Ive seen him do this on numerous occasions."
If you live in the United States or Europe feel free to contact Anthony with your restoration questions.

How To Spot Quality Furniture
I was watching a TV show the other day called the Antiques Road Show I was somewhat startled to see how much some of the old hand made home furnishings like chairs, dressers, coat racks and the like were worth. What did all of these items have in common? Well to start with they were all hand crafted with solid wood! I say this because today I do not believe much of anything is hand crafted this by itself though is not really a problem if it was not for mass production most of us would not be able to afford furniture. The true measure of fine furniture is the materials that it is constructed out of whether you are purchasing a complete bedroom set or a coat rack if is made from sub par materials such as particle board or MDF (medium density ...
