Antiques are more than just decor—they are history preserved in craftsmanship. Proper care ensures their longevity and beauty. Here are essential tips to keep your antiques in pristine condition:
-
Dust with Care – Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a natural bristle brush to avoid scratching delicate surfaces.
-
Avoid Harsh Cleaners – Harsh chemicals can strip finishes and damage antiques. Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners specific to each material.
-
Control Temperature & Humidity – Keep antiques away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity to prevent warping, cracking, or fading.
-
Store Thoughtfully – When storing, use acid-free paper for textiles, breathable covers for furniture, and proper supports for fragile pieces.
-
Handle with Care – Always lift antique furniture from its strongest points and avoid excessive handling of delicate items.
With the right care, your antiques will remain stunning for generations to come. Looking for beautifully preserved pieces? Explore our collection at Melissa Levinson Antiques.
