Services
Following the initial enquiry Paul likes to visit the client to see where the intended piece of furniture is to be placed. This is useful in understanding not only the purpose of the piece but also the size and the surroundings it is to be placed within. It can then be designed to naturally fit in, as well as be made from complementary materials to its intended surroundings.
Paul offers a comprehensive service from when the initial enquiry is made through to the fully restored item. Paul arranges to visit the client where he makes detailed notes from viewing the item and photographs to facilitate a thorough estimate and a proposal of work to be carried out.
Value for money is important to both parties whether the budget is big or small and Paul is able to work to suit the clients' requirements whilst not forgetting the history and attachment to the item to be restored.Paul provides his furniture restoration service throughout Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire from his workshop near Thame.

A client in Chearsley, Buckinghamshire, requested a design for a bookcase and room divider using materials of Burr Elm and Macassar Ebony with glass and ebony display shelves. Superficial water marks were carefully removed with a french polish reviver and then burnished with bees wax. The original polish was damaged by fire and not restorable.
