Gerry came to Renowned with a vision for a simple but timeless office desk. We sat with him to consult with the various customisations, including sizing, type of timber species and colour, finish, etc.
Here is what our skilled craftsmen came up with, and Gerry was very satisfied and happy with the final results!
This gorgeous Chippendale table was damaged by water. We repaired the damage to the foot, sanded it back and refinished it.
After our boys did their magic, this piece is ready to go back home looking clean and brand new again.
Often called the Royalty of Antique Furniture, Chippendale furniture create a sophisticated and elegant vibe in any room. If you have the real thing and not an imitation, it is important to always keep it in good condition.
Here’ is how:
If you have an old Chippendale, call on the experts like Renowned Furniture. We will restore your furniture and return it like nothing happened.
Once again, Renowned Furniture has come to the rescue of furniture damaged by water and force brought about by a strong cyclone.
Category 4 Cyclone Debbie hit the Whitsunday Region in North Queensland in March 2017, but 10 months later the damage it caused is still being repaired.
One of the hardest hit areas was Hayman Island. Because of the damage from Cyclone Debbie, Hayman residents are still rebuilding and the resort will not open until late 2018.
Renowned Furniture is proud to be a part of this beautiful island’s restoration. We had been called upon to repair and refinish outdoor chairs and tables damaged by the cyclone.
This was an insurance job that hardly seems like work with a view like this! As you can see, the end result was fantastic.
Another job well done by our talented master craftsmen!
One of our repurposed furniture jobs – a coffee table made from an old Lazy Susan.
Don brought this solid old partners desk in for a refresh after being exposed to some moisture in storage. Now, it’s looking brand new again!
Something a little different for us to do – a dining booth! Ken always wanted one, and now he does. Glad we could help.
Here it is again with the table that we also made.

In this day of minimalist interior design, de-cluttering is in and detailed, large heirloom furniture seems to be out. We feel that there is always a place for old furniture, especially those that have been passed down through generations. They tell of eras gone by and represent a window to one’s family history.
We love working on very old furniture here at Renowned. This type of restoration job often comes with a heart-warming story, like Gordon’s set of treasured furniture.
Before photos of Gordon’s heirloom furniture:
The Victorian-style chairs, made from Mahogany, are an heirloom kept in the family for over 100 years. They were originally bought as a wedding gift in around 1890 for the client’s grandparents.
Gordon and his wife decided to have them restored to celebrate their own wedding anniversary this year.
Here are the finished products:
Gordon sent through a lovely message saying his wife was speechless when she saw them and that they were both very pleased with the end result.
More after photos in detail:
The antique pieces we receive have a high sentimental value and as such we treat them with great care. We always advise clients what the best course of action to take for their heirloom furniture is – may it be a simple repair to maintain the integrity of the piece or an elaborate restoration to make a grand statement.
We hope Gordon family enjoy them for another 100 years.
These sitting chairs were re-upholstered to match the silver ash dining chairs that we previously custom made.
