1st May 2019 -  Antique Desks - Restoration Examples

Over the years we have restored a large number of antique desks, writing tables, desk chairs and reading tables.  Restorations range from light cleaning and waxing to  full structural repairs to rare and valuable desks that were worth the effort to return them to full use.  Leather tops can be revived or replaced where necessary.  In all cases we tried to retain as much originality as possible while making sure that the piece would be fully functional for many years to come.  Examples - before and after - can be seen on our Antique Desks Restoration Page.
