It was pure chance really, and slightly ironic when you consider that I wasn't particularly keen on my woodwork class in school! I was offered a job in an auction room in Bristol when I was twenty. Every 3 months, they would organise an antique sale, which I would be involved in.
They would sell some lovely pieces of furniture that they would have bought in a pitiful state and restored, and I was immediately intrigued by the renovation process, by the way they could manage to make what seemed unrepairable look fantastic again.I learned so much about wood and ages and styles, but I was keen to learn more, so I trained in the repair and restoration of antique furniture and I later opened up my own business.

Before and After
Report
Mahogany chair that had a badly damaged front leg, making it unusable, was repaired, re-glued and re-polished before being reupholstered in customer's choice of fabric from our collection. The little French Ormolu table was in dire need of restoration having come out of storage in a customer's garage.
