Antique Restoration
We have been involved in repairs and repolishing 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 repolishing 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 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.
