      Furniture restoration & french polishing of piano's, period furniture, antiques & office furniture. 36 Years' experience.

      Peter & his son Damien will bring your family heirloom back to its former glory by a family owned & operated business since 1987. We at Peter Berger French Polishing are a furniture and antique restoration service that has thrived for decades because of our passion for what we do. While many may look at an antique and see it as rubbish, we see its former beauty and work to restore all the charm and character you would have expected it to have in its glory days.

      Peter Berger French Polishing is a dedicated furniture restoration and repair service located in Capalaba, Queensland. Founded in 1987, it remains family‑owned and operated, with Peter and his son Damien carrying forward the tradition of handcrafted restoration. They aim to bring a strong sense of authenticity and attention to detail to each piece, preserving not only the visual beauty but also the sentimental and historical value of family heirlooms and antiques.

      They specialise in traditional French polishing, a method involving many fine coats of shellac to produce a deep glossy finish as well as custom made furniture, commercial restoration projects, and other timber work. Their full restoration process includes dismantling pieces to inspect joints and veneers, repairing broken or missing timber components, stripping, sanding, polishing in chosen finishes, and reassembling with hardware (retaining original fittings where possible). This approach ensures that furniture not only looks beautiful, but is restored to a structurally sound, long‑lasting state.

      Operating from their workshop at 3/23 Smith Street, Unit 3, Mastro Court, Capalaba, they serve Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Logan and surrounding areas. They offer obligation‑free quotes, quality workmanship, and Brisbane‑wide pickup and delivery to make the restoration process as convenient as possible. Their services cover a broad range: piano restoration, gold gilding, marine timber interiors, timber car parts, custom furniture, and repair work using both traditional and some modern methods, depending on the piece and customer requirements.
