Minor repairs to complete renovation of antiques
We pride ourselves in what we call "invisible" repairs. This means that if we have restored an antique table, chair or a clock case you should not be able to see where the repair has been carried out. Please browse through the examples of our antique clock repairs and antique furniture restoration projects. We think you will agree that our repair and conservation work is of the highest standard and you can trust us to do the best renovations possible with your much loved and cherished antiques.
