French Polishing & Furniture Restoration Services
Colour Matching
Timber stained, coloured and French polished to match the existing finishes.
Restoration Work
Damaged or missing veneers & inlays repaired, and made good before French Polishing.
Upholstery
Our upholsterers are apprenticed trained and can carry out any type of upholstery. This may include using hair or natural fibre as stuffing, before re-covering and finishing with braiding or studding.
Waxing & Oiling
To avoid stripping and retain the patina on earlier antique furniture, we use old techniques and materials. This may include waxing or oiling, to enhance the texture and beauty of the natural wood.
Gluing & Repairs
Wherever possible we repair any damage by gluing and so ensuring the authenticity of the piece. Dependent on customer choice, we can use modern adhesives or animal glues, reminiscent of the period when the furniture was made.
Desk Top Leather Replacement
We offer a desk top leather replacement service. This includes a range of colours and different tooling choices, all of which are of excellent quality.
Brassware, Locks and Hinges
In most instances, we can usually find an exact match of your missing or broken items of brassware. Very rare pieces can be individually re-forged.
Heat & Water Resistant Finishes
Heat and water resistant finishes can be arranged on request and where required. This finish is usually the choice, for modern fittings or furnishings.
Scratch, White Ring & Burn Repair
Wherever possible, we will repair scratches, remove white heat, water marks and burns without completely stripping the damaged area.
