Furniture Restoration and Conservation

Antique furniture restoration requires many specialist skills and our approach is aimed at sympathetically returning damaged items to their full potential without interfering with the patination and depth of finish which have developed over the years.

For antique furniture with real provenance generally, in terms of restoration, less is more. Unnecessary work will often de-value a piece, and therefore the original patina should be retained and revived wherever possible.

However, often more is required due to shrinkage of timber, old glues drying out, sun or water damage and general wear and tear. Wood can be matched and replaced, blistered veneers re-laid and missing veneers matched and replaced using traditional methods and glues. Modern furniture can be restored to showroom condition.
