We can deal with most problems found during furniture restoration or furniture refinishing, This could include an unstable structure, worn drawer runners, scratches missing sections of veneer. Always keeping in mind the integrity of restored piece of furniture, whether it be a valuable period piece or a modern piece. We always take in account how the piece was original constructed and it being integral, not over-restore. We prefer to retain as much of the original during any furniture restoration project instead of reconstructing or replacing, however, new components can be made and matched to the original. We also specialise in traditional French polishing using much the same process and materials used 200 years ago. If your piece of furniture has a damaged upholstery, we also provide a complete service of re-upholstery on both modern and period furniture, armchairs, dining chairs, in leather and fabric.
