Expert Care for Austin's Curated Vintage Pieces
Austin's design culture thrives on character — from the mid-century modern gems of Travis Heights to the Round Top treasures that anchor living rooms across Westlake and Tarrytown. Weathersby Guild provides museum-quality antique restoration for Austin's discerning collectors, designers, and families who understand that great furniture deserves great care.
Whether you found a show-stopping credenza on South Congress, scored a Danish teak set at an estate sale in Clarksville, or inherited your great-aunt's walnut secretary desk, our master craftsmen bring the skill and reverence to restore it properly.
Austin loves MCM. We specialize in restoring Herman Miller, Knoll, Danish teak, and local mid-century pieces. From proper teak oil finishes to cane seat replacement to Eames shell chair repair, we understand the materials and techniques that keep MCM furniture authentic.
Every spring and fall, Austin buyers return from Round Top with incredible finds that need professional attention. We restore European antiques, American primitives, industrial salvage pieces, and farmhouse furniture — all the styles that make Round Top famous.
Austin interior designers trust Weathersby Guild because we deliver consistent, museum-quality results on deadline. When a designer needs a client's vintage find ready for installation day, we make it happen without cutting corners on craftsmanship.
We meet you at your Austin home, designer showroom, or storage unit to evaluate your piece. For Round Top purchases, we can even coordinate pickup directly from the show. Our team assesses age, condition, and construction to plan the ideal restoration approach.
In our workshop, we research your piece's maker, era, and original construction methods. For MCM pieces, we verify authenticity markers. For European antiques, we identify wood species and joinery styles. Full photographic documentation creates a record for your collection.
We clean using conservation-grade solvents appropriate for the piece's age and finish type. Disassembly is minimal and gentle — we open only the joints that need attention. Original hardware is cataloged and preserved. For pieces with desirable patina, we protect it throughout.
Failed joints get reglued with period-appropriate adhesives. Broken components are repaired or replicated using matching wood species. For MCM pieces, we source era-correct replacement materials. Veneer repairs use traditional techniques to maintain authenticity and value.
We apply the right finish for the piece's era — teak oil for Danish modern, French polish for Victorian, lacquer for MCM, or hand-rubbed oil for primitives. Restored pieces are carefully transported back to Austin with placement and care instructions.
Absolutely! We restore Round Top finds for Austin clients every season. Whether it's a weathered farmhouse table from Marburger Farm, a Victorian sideboard from the Big Red Barn, or a mid-century dresser from one of the many tent shows, we have the expertise to bring your Round Top discovery to its full potential while preserving its authentic character.
Yes. Austin's love of mid-century modern design means we restore a significant amount of MCM furniture — Herman Miller, Knoll, Danish teak pieces, and locally crafted mid-century items. We understand the specific materials, construction methods, and finish expectations for these pieces, including proper teak oil application and cane seat replacement.
We make regular trips to Austin on a weekly route. For fragile antiques, our team uses padded transport with custom protection for carved elements, marble tops, and glass components. We pick up throughout the Austin metro — Tarrytown, Clarksville, Travis Heights, Westlake, Cedar Park, and beyond.
It depends on the piece's value, condition, and your intended use. For rare antiques, preserving original finish usually maintains higher value. For pieces you want to use daily — like a dining table or dresser — a sympathetic restoration that maintains character while improving functionality is often the best approach. We discuss options and make recommendations when you send photos for your free estimate.
“Michael and Manuel were amazing! Not only was pickup and delivery super smooth and easy, but the restoration was stunning!

“Weathersby Guild refinished our 150 +\- year old antique bedroom set. We are thrilled with the results! The furniture has been restored to its original amazing beauty. The artisans at Weathersby hand crafted repairs to delicate head and foot board filigree. The brass hardware (drawer pulls & locks) were exquisitely brought back to life. Finally their ingenuity modified the double bed frame to fit our queen sized bed. We give Weathersby Guild the highest recommendation.”
