Antique Restoration
We have been involved in repairs and polishing
of antique furniture in Cornwall for the past 30 years and have restored
items from the early 17th century through to furniture of
the 21st century. The restoration involves hard, physical
work. Job satisfaction in my opinion only comes at the end of a
project when the restorer casts his eye over the antique item and is
satisfied that all the necessary repairs and french
polishing
undertaken have brought the item of antique furniture up to a level that
is both practically and visually pleasing. We will fully discuss
all aspects of repair and restoration with you and special care
will be taken with collection and delivery of the item.
Collection and delivery of the item can be arranged not only in
Cornwall but throughout
the UK if required.

Workshop or onsite
Normally it is better and easier for antique furniture restoration to be
carried out at our
workshop in Cornwall.
There are many reasons for this and include accessibility to all the
restorers tools and clamps etc, all his polishes an tints and the use of
a sturdy bench and vice. Also drying times for certain glues can be up
to 48 hours. French Polishing on antique furniture repairs normally results in many coats being
applied to the item over a period of many days. Quite often it is
necessary to work onsite in Cornwall with larger or fixed items. Whenever
cornwall furniture restoration are
asked to work onsite we endeavor to keep the area as clean and tidy as
possible and to cause as little disruption as is necessary.
