Services
A professional antique furniture restoration service covering London, Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire offering modern and antique furniture restoration, French polishing and upholstery. Our workshop is based just south of Dorking on the A24, 30 miles from London. We visit London on a weekly basis to pick up your precious antique furniture for restoration.
Our workshop has the latest machinery and hand tools, coupled with our talented craftsmen who use traditional and time old techniques to restore and repair your antique furniture. We can match the colour of the wood, replace scarred veneers and invisibly repair the most intricate of inlays and marquetry.
French polishing is a wood finishing technique that results in a high gloss surface, with a deep colour and lustre. French polishing consists of applying many thin coats of shellac, dissolved in alcohol, using a rubbing pad lubricated with oil. We can French polish all wooden surfaces, old and new.
Being established for over 45 years we have a large amount of experience in the design and making of bespoke furniture, interiors and freestanding hand-made pieces. We use a broad range of styles and finishes to create traditional, contemporary and modern items, so we are able to cater for all tastes and requirements.
Schryver' s quality and attention to detail is exceptional. Extremely personable and professional approach with exacting attention to detail. Jonny took my idea and transformed a bland bedroom into a stunning book room recreating the look and feel of past times. A stunning job, I'm delighted. I have been relying on Shryver Ltd to repair my furniture for the last 10 years.

A late nineteenth-century French reproduction of a Louis XV ladies' writing desk, which was in a very sorry state after spending many years in a south-facing window in the south of France, has been excellently preserved by Schryver for future generations and will now hopefully last for another one hundred years.

Very good experience dealing with Jonny at Schryver Restoration. Although our very old toilet seat was pretty battered, he brought it back to life! The Throne has never been so comfortable!

I cannot recommend Schryver restoration highly enough. Jonny and his team could not have done a more beautiful and more sensitive job of repairing and reupholstering my early 1950’s Louis chairs. One of them had suffered a very bad break to the wood of the seat back. They were in vintage condition and I loved the age and worn patina of the paintwork as it was.
I would call them real artists and artisans here. As they not only matched the paintwork exactly, they replaced the broken pieces and strengthened the chair back invisibly. They also recast and recreated the decorative moulding which had

Schryver Furniture Restoration did a beautiful job on a desk for us. It needed detailed repair to inlays and replacement fretwork round the pigeon holes - and now it is impossible to tell what is new and what is the original. The whole desk is now glowing and quite lovely and will continue to be treasured for generations. Collection and delivery all perfect.
