フレンチアンティークダイニングテーブル天板製作/再塗装修理
This time we will introduce the repair of an extendable French dining table made of solid oak.
This antique table made of solid oak was purchased by a customer during her stay in France. The gentle floral relief is feminine and beautiful, evoking a warm and rustic image of a country grandma. It is rare to find a table with such rich character, but over the years and with many memories, the tabletop has faded, and the solid oak tabletop has become distorted and warped to the point where it can no longer be described as simply "charming."
--BEFORE The center tabletop is severely damaged and the extension is in relatively good condition. This type of extendable table is a very convenient item that allows you to expand the table when you have guests over, but since the frequency of use is different, the top tabletop deteriorates first compared to the wings.
購入当時から歪みはあったようですが、生活の中でストレス無く使うには流石に難しいかもしれません。
それでも、お客様にとっては捨てられない特別な思いがあります。
同じ様なデザイン、時代の物は探せばいつの日か見つかるやもしれませんが、フランスで見つけた家具との出会いや、共に過ごした思い出は、代えられないものでしょう。
リストリーのコンセプトは、Re（再生）+ Story（物語）です。お客様の大切な物をいつまでも語られる物であるように、誰にでもできる修理や修復ではないからこそ私たちがお客様の最後の砦となれる。そんな思いと確かな技術でお応えしています。
今回の修理ではテーブル天板の新規製作とエクステンション部分の再生をさせて頂きました。
まずは既存のテーブル天板と同等の天板を製作する為に、じっくり観察。せっかく天板を作り直しても同じように歪んでしまっては意味がないので、既存の天板より中板を10ミリ厚くし構造もただ板を載せていた物から実矧ぎへ変更し製作。
We took detailed measurements of the existing tabletop and selected wood grain that was as close as possible to the new one.
The atmosphere of the extension and the newly manufactured tabletop is completely different. The most important thing this time was to have the 0-year-old tabletop and the approximately 80-year-old extension tabletop "co-star" with each other.
The new tabletop, which is 0 years old, is inked once to emphasize the contrast of the wood grain.
Next, the existing paint on the extension (both wings) was stripped off and the surface, along with the new top, was sanded down, carefully removing the grime that had accumulated over approximately 80 years.
The solid wood has been repeatedly shrinking and expanding, losing all of its oils, becoming dry and having gaps. With the mindset of restoring rather than repairing, we carefully moisturize the wood and fill in the gaps with natural glue.
They will be dyed at the same time, but the degree of color absorption varies depending on the age of the wood, so we will not dye the extension too much and will dye the new top thoroughly to avoid any differences.

The one with a very old-fashioned feel is a table top that is about 80 years old, while the white board is a new, "0-year-old" table top that was newly produced this time.
You can clearly see the difference in age between the old oak (left) and the new oak (right). They may not look like the same wood.
The surface of the old oak has been smoothed, gaps filled, and the color adjusted simultaneously with the white wood.
Do you notice any difference between the appearance of a tree that has survived for about 80 years and the appearance of a newborn tree? It is an extremely difficult task to give the same texture to wood that is completely different depending on the age, place of origin, lumbering method, and the amount of dye absorbed and the presence or absence of oil due to differences in parts.
It is actually much more difficult to create something new to match an existing old item than it is to create something new that looks antique .
--AFTER Finally, the whole piece is polished with wax to achieve the same shine as the leg frame. The relief parts were also dry and flaky, but if we soak them in oil and polish them, they will return to their original condition.
If you apply a moderate amount of oil using wax during the dry winter months, you can prevent your furniture from drying out too much and keep it in good condition.
Daily care is important.
The overall color fading is gone and the right amount of shine has returned. It's a great photo, but unfortunately it rained on the day...
The customer's new home is currently under construction so we were unable to take photos in the dining room.
お肌カサカサな状態が、すっかり生まれ変わりました。
オーク材独特の木目がとても優しく、趣ある雰囲気を演出しています。
当然ですが、１ｍｍも歪んでおりません。
これから先、ガシガシ使って沢山キズついて、次の修理が必要になったころにまたお声がけ頂きたいです。どんな風にこの家具が成長していくのか、早くも楽しみです。
The ``0 year old'' and ``80 year old'' perform together in a wonderful performance.
The customer was very pleased with the glossy finish, which looked as if she had just had a beauty treatment.
