Helping You Since 1980
For over 40 years I have been able to meet, discuss and advise people on how to restore their pieces of antique furniture.
My Services
I am passionate about seeing, touching and handling furniture that has been loved and cared for. I feel privileged that customers choose to entrust their beloved pieces with me. I enjoy restoring and conserving the history and dignity of a piece of furniture while retaining its character, and I would be delighted to help you with your antique furniture restoration needs.
Helping Every Item Reach Its Potential
I work with all sorts of groups on restoring items, including:
- Private customers
- Trade clients
- Removal companies
- Loss adjusters
- Insurance companies
Every item of furniture is precious to its owner with a story to tell and I try to make sure that a piece can reach its full potential.
My Career
I first began my career when I was a young lad - I picked up a piece of timber, created something from it, and then I took on woodwork at school. I worked as an apprentice cabinet maker for an antique dealer in Great Yarmouth and the love of antique furniture began!
After eight years there I worked for Tobel Reproductions - a subsidiary of Arthur Brett and Sons. They specialised in reproducing antique period furniture with a modern function and I worked there, before taking charge of the oak section at the company, which made tables, dressers, chairs and sideboards.
I then began working on one-off pieces before starting my own business so that I could pass on my expertise on the subject of antique furniture directly to clients.
