| Green and
Cockburn Antique Restoration have been
successfully trading for over 28 years.
Being a family run business, our combined
experience enables us to make our
restorations very sought-after in the world
of art and antiques. We have been based at our
premises in Weston, Hertfordshire for the full duration,
and have gained a prestigious reputation for
our craftsmanship and skills. The main side
of the business is furniture and clock
restoration, which is becoming increasingly
busier as time goes by. We serve the areas
of Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire,
Cambridgeshire, Buckinghamshire and Essex.
A great deal of work
that we take on is large scale restorations
such as Churches or Cathedrals, and being
charities, payment is taken in the form of
antique items left to the Parishes. |

| These
articles, which are then spruced up in our workshop are
offered for sale in our antiques showroom. In fact,
since we are able to offer antique items at very low
prices, most of our buyers are not private collectors
but trade buyers. Weston Antiques as the selling side of
the business is known and specialises in 18th century
clocks and furniture.
In
our clock restoration department we restore clock
movements in exactly the same way as when they were made
with the added help of modern machine tools. We undertake
face painting and clock re-silvering in exactly the
same fashion as when they were made.
In
our cabinet-making department we restore clock cases,
antique chairs, tables and gilded mirrors. All materials
used are as they would have been, including animal glue
for gluing and rabbit skin for gilding.
We
pride ourselves in what we call invisible furniture
repairs. This means that if we have repaired a table,
chair or a clock case you would not be able to
distinguish where the repair had been carried out. Don't
just take our word for it. View our before
and after photos of recent projects.
