The Process of Antique Hand-Carved Wooden Furniture Restoration
Hand-carved wooden furniture restoration involves the careful and skilled process of repairing and reviving wooden furniture pieces that feature intricate hand-carved designs. These pieces often have historical, artistic, and sentimental value, making their restoration a specialised and meticulous endeavour. Carved wooden antique furniture offers the versatility, beauty, and toughness that homeowners have long relished. However, items of antique furniture sometimes have missing or damaged sections of wood carvings. An essential part of carved furniture restoration is to restore these missing or damaged stylistic elements.

Turned items are also sometimes missing or require turning restoration to be carried out, we are able to carefully replicate these in our workshop using the same materials and woodturning methods that are required for the item to be replaced. We also offer bespoke furniture making using only the very best materials and traditional hand skills.
