What the lens sees

A key light shows what a lamp hides

A fix that looks fine at home can ruin a shot. Light skimming across a cushion catches a filler ridge, a big softbox flares off a glossy patch, and a macro lens finds the faded panel next to a darker one. Prop furniture repair is graded the way your camera grades it: lit, at each stage, until nobody on set can find the fix.

Questions

Prop Furniture FAQ

What Connecticut studios and rental houses ask before they book prop furniture repair CT wide.

Will a fix show up on camera?

It should not. Each stage is checked under side light and constant light until the fix disappears.

Can a vintage piece keep its character?

Yes. We match color to the existing patina, not to brand-new leather.

Which prop furniture do you work on?

Leather sofas, club and arm chairs, benches, ottomans, dining chairs and vintage occasional chairs.

Yes. A shiny patch is usually the first flaw a softbox reveals.
