Repair Your Furniture With Antique Furniture Parts and Salvaged Pieces

Wood has for centuries been a primary source for building furniture and cabinetry. However, you might have a favorite piece of furniture that has been damaged, and eBay can be a ready resource for finding antique furniture parts and salvaged pieces you may need to fix most furniture or cabinetry.

Accidents happen, and so does does wear and tear to home furnishings. Also, you may find a discarded treasure sitting on the curb down the street, like the time when you found that broken-down chest of drawers. Once you find the right drawer runners, coasters, or handles for that 20th-century freebie, you'll be able to undertake a refurbishing project that will result in a unique conversation piece when guests come to visit.

Simply determine what you need for your project or repair, such as antique oak desk chair parts or antique wooden chair parts, and use the simple search engine on eBay to find items including:

• Entire pieces of furniture that need some TLC, like salvaged settees, washstands, dressers, and wardrobes
• Drawer pulls, coasters in almost every style, dowels, screws, and other attachment hardware
• A vast selection of various designs of salvaged table legs and antique table legs, from simple conical shapes to intricate scrolled design
• Architectural panels, antique bed parts, old chair parts, crown crests for replacement, various fretwork, and antique furniture hardware replacement parts
• Almost any other portion of your old furniture that is missing

At times, it is wise to seek out inexpensive salvaged pieces to fix your furniture instead of seeking to manufacture new replacement parts for the pieces. This is because new parts actually tend to flaw the natural patina of the piece. Hence, salvaged antique furniture parts from original pieces are often preferable.
