1930s dining suite
Here are some photos of a 1930s oak round extension dining table and chairs we’ve just received for restoration. Here are the after photos. The chairs look quite different with a new fabric. Another happy customer – John’s smiling again now that his 1930’s round oak dining suite has been […]

Silky oak writers desk
“Mum simply won’t go near it since it’s been “restored” by a shonky operator. ” Di will not believe the repairs and the transition after we’ve finished the rework on this little beauty. Her 98-year-old mum will not only want to use it but will lovingly remember how it used […]

Please keep it authentic!
Sally had a loss. Among the damaged pieces was this old handmade cupboard done by her beloved grandfather. “Yes, it needs restoring but please please please don’t take away the look and feel that my grandfather gave me before he passed.” Well, it’s different for our guys to try and […]
