About
Eric Sweet, owner of Jackson Hole Furniture Restoration, LLC, has dedicated his life to the art of antique furniture restoration and repair. Starting his journey at the age of 13 in Virginia, Eric learned the traditional craft of recaning and rushing chairs under the guidance of Jim Cameron. Over the years, his expertise expanded to include sculpting missing pieces, reproducing intricate carvings, re-gluing, hand stripping, refinishing, veneer work, marquetry, inlay repair, and upholstery.
Eric’s career has taken him across the country, with notable achievements such as helping to develop Furniture Medic in 1991 as Vice President of Franchise Development and Technical Support. He established a thriving restoration business in Atlanta from 1996 to 1998 before opening a Manhattan-based operation in 1999, where his work was featured in New York Magazine in December 2003. After working in Manhattan until 2011, Eric relocated to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, bringing his unparalleled craftsmanship to the region.
Today, Eric continues to provide expert services, including on-site touch-ups, marble repair, and full restorations for both antique and modern furniture. Each piece entrusted to him is treated with meticulous care, blending traditional techniques with modern materials to preserve its beauty and functionality for generations to come.
