Our furniture restoration team has developed worl-leadnig reputation for excellence.

Our approach to furniture restoration respects the history and integrity of each piece, whilst also producing first-class, long lasting results. Our furniture restoration treatments combine in-depth knowledge of traditional cabinet-making skills with up to the minute knowledge of the latest advances in scientific conservation.

We have provided furniture restoration services to collections located in the USA and around the world.

Furniture restoration work ranges from conservation cleaning and removing stains, scratches and relatively minor losses to extensive rebuilding, for example successfully restoring furniture that has suffered major fire, flood or shipping damage.

Furniture can be replicated, as can missing fittings including keys and mirror glass.

Furniture restoration services we offer, include:

Structural Furniture Restoration

Restoring furniture with damaged or missing sections using traditional techniques such as wood turning and wood carving. Wherever possible, we use matching timber of the same age and quality. 

Surface Furniture Restoration

Restoring furniture with damaged surfaces and finishes, French polishing, wax finishing, colouring with water dyes and chemicals, and bleaching wooden surfaces. Restoring furniture that is painted or decorated with water and oil gilding, as well as restoring japanned and lacquered surfaces. We offer marquetry restoration, including recutting replacement sections. As well as wood, we also treat furniture made from or veneered with a wide range of materials, including metal, shagreen, vellum and boulle work.

Restoring Furniture Elements

For example restoring or replacing broken and missing marble table tops, restoring or recasting missing ormolu mounts and brass and steel handles, as well as repairing or replacing locks and keys, drawing on our extensive stock of period fittings to ensure, wherever possible, an historical accurate replacement. We also replicate antique mirror glass using techniques that imitate the natural aging process.

Condition Reporting and Consultancy Services

In addition to interventive treatments, we offer a wide range of bespoke consultancy services, including independent condition reporting, remote environmental monitoring and environmental optimisation to protect furniture from the damage caused overtime by dramatic temperature and humidity swings.
