Antique Clock Repair, Antique Furniture Restoration and Valuations
At Green and Cockburn we specialise in the complete renovation of particularly fine antique clocks and furniture. Most of our work these days involves the restoration of antique clocks as these can still be very valuable whereas a lot of antique furniture now has little monetary value to justify meeting the costs of repair.
Very often antiques come into our workshop in very poor or extensively damaged condition perhaps caused by fire or flood. Our antique restoration is carried out to the highest standard. We repair and restore antiques using only traditional techniques contemporary to their original period of manufacture. We hold vast stocks of original timbers and materials dating back to the 16th century we also hold many brass movement parts and if we don't have them in stock we make them. We can guarantee a perfect restoration of your valuable antique keepsakes whilst keeping in mind the need to carry out work in such a way that repair would not be noticed.

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.
