If a picture is worth a thousand words, then how valuable is a video?
Here at ArtsandCraftsCollector.com we have been busy making brief, informative videos to educate and instruct viewers in a variety of aspects of Arts & Crafts collecting.
We hope to offer additional videos in the near future, so if you have an idea for one, please send us an email.
And – should you get the urge to make a short video featuring some aspect of your collection, let us know about it, too. We might just be able to add it to our selection.

Preserving an Arts & Crafts Finish
Original shellac finishes need the additional protection of paste wax. This video shows how you can tint clear waxes for dark Arts & Crafts furniture.
Replacing a Leather Seat
Original leather often doesn’t last as long as an original finish, so in this session we take you through the steps in replacing a leather seat on our Stickley chair.
