Restoration Service

Aftercare and Restoration Services

All our furniture has been expertly restored in our own fully equipped workshop. We not only restore all kinds of writing furniture, such as this Victorian mahogany bureau that was badly damaged in a fire;

We are now also able to undertake most antique furniture restoration for private clients, and have recently been accepted into the Guild of Master Craftsmen

For larger items we are happy to work in the clients’ own home; we have recently cleaned and restored some lovely old oak panelling and a stunning pulpit in the beautiful local church at Mickleham:

The beautiful pulpit

This entailed thorough cleaning and then polishing and waxing to achieve the desired affect.

We are very confident of the quality of our pieces but rest assured if you do experience any fault in the future we will undertake the necessary work as a top priority.

 

Upon the sale of any item of furniture, especially a desk, we supply a tin of the wax which we will have used on the surface, and it is important that this piece is waxed every 4 months or so, especially the leather, to keep it supply and waterproof. This is a soft, easy to apply, antique wax containing beeswax.
