Is the India Street Antiques inventory new or vintage?
The vintage and antique furniture at India Street Antiques looks so good that we are often asked if the pieces are new or old. Often clients mistake them for reproductions! Every piece we stock goes through a minimum of deep cleaning through full restoration, depending upon the needs of each item. Some pieces on our showroom floor are not finished as yet with their process, but we will be happy to prioritize finishing the cleaning and restoration of any item for you before you receive it in your home or office.

How do I remove white ring marks from furniture surfaces?
India Street Antiques sells Howard products, which include Restor-A-Finish. Used with #0000 steel wool, a soft cloth and a little elbow grease, Howard's Restor-A-Finish will lift white marks out of the lacquer, thus preventing moisture from seeping into the wood and creating black marks that cannot be removed.
Restor-A-Finish comes in a rainbow of wood tones. If you are not sure which tone to purchase, or you have a variety of woods, we recommend NEUTRAL.
