If you are a fan of antique board games, you are probably aware of the beauty and value of these works of art. However, it is not uncommon to find antique board games that, after decades or even centuries of use, have suffered some degree of deterioration. In this article we will guide you through the steps necessary to restore an antique game accurately and professionally.
First step:
It is important to examine the board game carefully to assess its current state. Identify parts that require repair, replacement or cleaning. If the game has missing parts, you may need to do a search to find the missing parts or play them manually, just like we did for the restoration of this Bagatella variant that you will find below.
Second step:
Cleaning the toy is essential, it must be done delicately, using a soft cloth and a suitable detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the wood or other materials.
Third step:
Make any necessary repairs, replace missing parts, and apply suitable paint or finish to protect and preserve the board game.
