I understand from reading this and this Discussions threads that it is only possible to restore the entire Messages archive, not selected messages/threads.
But why is this? I mean, it is possible to access the subfolders in (for 10.9) Containers/com.apple.iChat where the message threads are saved. But even if one copies the threads back from a backup they won't appear in Messages.
