This page shows before and after examples of our work, and is constantly being updated with projects we are currently working on. We think you will agree that our restoration work is of the highest standard, which is why we are quite simply the best in the business. The photo opposite shows a table that was recently brought to us for a complete restoration. It was damaged and had been badly neglected prior to us carrying out any work, as you can see from the picture.
After hours of intensive work, the table been through our thorough restoration process. Although now in perfect condition, the original period concept remains intact which is something only experienced antique restorers are capable of achieving. The seamless repair meant that the owner of this piece was overwhelmed at the transformation, and could not believe that such an accurate restoration could have been possible. We pride ourselves on the results that our vast experience and hard work can produce.  
This Victorian Walnut table, which is quarter veneered arrived at our workshop in an extremely bad condition as shown in the photo opposite. This piece was very badly damaged by water and had an unsightly burn mark, as well as showing obvious signs of natural aging. As we are used to receiving items in such a condition, our experience enabled us select the appropriate timbers needed to restore such a badly damaged piece.  
Once again, after hours of our intensive restoration work the table is completely restored keeping in mind it's period and concept. The burn marks have been removed, veneer has been inlaid in position of the various marks and the water marks have been totally removed. The entire table surface has been revived, and as a finishing measure the table is polished and ready for the happy customer to take delivery of their restored piece. 
The left photo shows the table leg joints had been nailed through, completely splitting the wood. The right photo was taken after the legs were removed, cleaned and the joints remade and reglued. The legs were then polished. 
Please come back and visit us again soon, as we are constantly updating these pages with new restoration projects for your comparison.
