THE WORKSHOP
The workshop is where all aspects of restoration work takes place from brass inlay, wood carving, gilding, marquetry inlay, hand polishing and boulle work.
With over 45 years of expertise using traditional techniques we source the correct materials for each job.
We source and restore our items for their quality and beauty. Each item is looked at individually and the process of restoration is undertaken. View our videos to see some short films of restoration projects.
