 We
have spent the last eighteen years actively involved
in the restoration, conservation, and trade of fine
antique furniture. During this time we have gained a
wealth of specialist knowledge and experience. We offer
a consultancy service on different sides of the antiques
trade.
We have been involved in the assessment of furniture
following fire and flood damage. This
service has involved visiting the property, advising
on damaged items and compiling a detailed report for
insurance companies.
On numerous occasions we have been asked to advise
on furniture acquisitions. Many items
have been sourced for private individuals and collectors.
Each piece has to be examined for authenticity, quality,
colour and condition. This search and find process can
be time consuming and hard work, pointing out potential
problems prior to purchase.
On high value items we believe it is a must to seek
advice to avoid disappointment in latter years.
In the past we have advised on the acquisition of antiques
businesses, viewing the stock and books.
Consultancy has been give on the efficient running
and organisation of a restoration workshop. (Jeremy
is also on the vetting team for BAFRA)
For some large collections we have been involved in
devising a long-term restoration strategy and ear marking
pieces in most need of work
