Repairing traditional furniture requires traditional techniques, which we have learned and perfected through years of hands-on experience, passed down through three generations. Quick fixes and modern materials are rarely suitable for these processes. When working on antique furniture, retaining its value is crucial, so it's vital that the work is carried out using specific skills and experience.

Which Polish is right for my furniture?

French polishing is a wood finishing technique that creates a high gloss surface with a deep, reflective color. It is softer than modern polishes and particularly sensitive to spills of water or alcohol, which can cause white cloudy marks. Our service can restore the finish, seamlessly blending the polish on the damaged areas with the rest of the piece.

Our promise

All work is carried out to the highest professional standards, and to ensure these standards are maintained, we do not use third parties. If a task cannot be completed, we will be upfront and honest about it and will not take it on.

My Dining tabletop is damaged can you match the old finish? 

Yes! Our skilled craftsmen and craftswomen are experts in matching colours and finishes, trim, molding, and more.
How do we restore furniture?

We first consider partial restoration. Depending on the extent of the damage, the damaged furniture may either be repaired and refinished or we will completely strip by hand the old finish off and totally re-polish the damaged area. All areas will be refinished to match the damaged area.
Why is better to repair than replace?

It doesn’t make financial sense to replace quality furniture that can be restored. Use this example: If your car’s bumber has a dent, you don’t replace the whole car. You replace the bumber  and a little painting. Similarly, you don’t replace a restorable piece of furniture.
