Services
Cabinet Making
Crafting heirloom-quality cabinets and furniture to bespoke specifications. Our process includes on-site consultations, schematic design, and hand-selected timber sourcing. Clients may visit workshops during construction for transparency. Final delivery includes aftercare advice and support.
Antique Restoration
Reviving 17th- to 20th-century pieces using traditional methods. We assess structural integrity, repair damage, and replicate missing elements while preserving original materials. Services cater to private collectors and museum-grade items within a 75-mile radius.
Conservation
Minimal-intervention conservation techniques maintain historical authenticity. This includes condition reporting, material analysis, and stabilisation processes. Work adheres to museum standards for public and private collections, prioritising long-term preservation over functionality.
Upholstery
Traditional upholstery for chairs, armchairs, and chaise-longues. We restore frames, reuse original materials like horsehair, and apply period-appropriate coverings. Services include conservation techniques and custom cushion creation for cane-seated furniture longevity.
Marquetry
Precision marquetry designs using hand-selected veneers. This decorative technique enhances furniture surfaces with intricate patterns or imagery, executed using traditional tools and adhesives for historical accuracy and durability.
