Finally Found It

I don't often get the opportunity to restore a wardrobe but this was part of a bedroom suite and my client wanted a cohesive style across all pieces. I could have done with a second pair of hands when reattaching the doors but I got there in the end.

This beautiful Art Deco hexagonal occasional table presented a restoration challenge that had me scratching my head for a while. A prominent bleached mark had developed on the surface, and despite trying several proven restoration techniques, the blemish stubbornly remained.

Furniture restoration is rarely a one-size-fits-all process. Even with experience, every piece has its own story and occasionally requires a degree of investigation and experimentation. In this case, it came down to one final technique which, fortunately, achieved the result I was after, eliminating the damage that threatened to overshadow it.

A beautiful Victorian jewellery box, sadly opened with a little too much enthusiasm, resulting in a fractured frame and lifted veneer. Fortunately, all of the original pieces were preserved, allowing me to carefully repair and restore it so it can be treasured and enjoyed once again.

I’ve just finished restoring a beautiful 1930s chest of drawers, and this one was a real labour of love.

The front features stunning marquetry, and while it would originally have had a mirror (sadly long gone, leaving two cut-outs on the top), the piece still had incredible character worth saving.

Structurally, it needed new drawer runners, guides, and stops—but the most satisfying part was repairing the damaged front corners. The veneer and underlying timber were in a bad way, so bringing those back to life took time, patience, and a bit of problem-solving… exactly the kind of challenge I enjoy most.

I’ve focused the photos on those repairs so you can see the transformation.

If you have a special piece tucked away that needs some TLC, I’d love to help bring it back to life—feel free to message me.
