Ever tackled antique furniture that creaks, wobbles, or no longer fits together the way it used to? That’s where brass shim sheets come in. With sizes ranging from fractions of a millimeter to more than a millimeter, these shims let restorers gently realign joints, reinforce drawers, and restore structural strength without altering original hardware or finishes. They fit seamlessly—often invisibly—behind loose parts, bringing stability back to once-solid structures.
What sets brass apart in restoration is its vintage authenticity. Many period pieces originally used brass fittings and spacers, so introducing brass shim sheets during repairs honors the original material palette. Brass develops a natural patina over time, blending into older finishes and preserving visual integrity. Whether you’re working on heirloom heirlooms or museum-grade restorations, brass shim sheets offer both precision engineering and stylistically accurate improvements.
