Restoration

Our restoration service is available to both the public and the trade.

Tomlinsons have been restoring antiques for over 15 years. In that time we have restored over 30,000 pieces. From £80,000 four door Georgian bookcases to small scratches in a tabletop, we have a wealth of experience in all manner of jobs.

Our workshops offer the following services:

Cabinet work

Regardless of the condition of your furniture we are able to restore it to any standard you require. Our cabinet shop always tries to use timber from the same period as the piece to ensure the work is as sympathetic as possible. The craftsmen also use the same techniques, which have been used for hundreds of years, skills which are declining in the modern age.

French polishing

Without proper care and attention a polished finish can deteriorate over time. Our polish shop will give you advice on whether the finish can be revived or the piece needs to be re-polished.

Spraying

Some of our customers need a hardier finish than French polish so we also offer a spray finish. Using our own technique to apply the spray we can create a look which is indistinguishable from polish but with the advantage of being very simple to care for.

Desk leathering

For those items with leather writing surfaces which need reviving we offer a specialised re-leathering service. We have developed a unique process to age the leather so the writing surface is in keeping with the rest of the piece. Available in various colours the leathers we have supplied are proving very popular with both the trade and the public.

For all our services we will give you a firm quote for the work to be undertaken. With all our restoration work we encourage you to come in to see the finished piece to ensure it is to your satisfaction prior to collection or delivery.
