Antique Furniture Restoration

I have a particular interest in furniture that can be attributed to and stamped by Gillows of Lancaster and Wilsons of 68 Great Queen Street-London & Robert Strahan of Dublin & am always researching and attempting to find undescovered pieces. I strongly believe in the importance of preserving origonality, but any restoration or more importantly conservation will be skillfully and sypatheticaly done to the highest standards using only the finest hand & traditional materials.

I have been based in my current workshops In Belfast, Nothern Ireland since 1999. During this time I have gathered up vast stores of period timber and along with period brassware which are essential when restoring fine antique furniture I have also built up a huge library of research material to draw on if required to ensure any work carried out is as authentic as possible to original design.

I am very proud to have recently restored important items for both the Irish Football Association and The Royal CoDown Golf Club. I strongly believe in the importance of preserving origonality, but any restoration or more importantly conservation will be skillfully and sypatheticaly done to the highest standards using only the finest hand & traditional materials.

I have recently enjoyed a visit to Dumfries House Where it is described as having the most important collection of Chippendale furniture in the world.
