Photo Review Guide
What Photos To Send For A Furniture Restoration Quote
The better the photos, the faster the review. You do not need professional pictures — just clear angles that show the whole piece, the surface, and the details that affect the finish plan.
The full-piece photo
Stand back and capture the entire piece from the front. This shows shape, scale, drawers, doors, legs, and overall style.
The close-up photo
Send close-ups of scratches, water rings, peeling finish, chipped veneer, drawer damage, or areas that feel rough or uneven.
The detail photo
Labels, stamps, drawer interiors, hardware, dovetails, backs, and underside details help reveal age, material, construction, and whether a piece should be preserved or transformed.
