Furniture restoration in Perth
A restorer, French polisher and chair caner about 9 miles up the road from Perth, in Bankfoot. Roughly a quarter of an hour by car.
A D-end dining table before and after. Drag to compare.
The Fair City has always had good furniture
Perth’s wrights were a busy lot: between 1700 and 1840 more than six hundred of them worked in the burgh and its suburbs. Perth makers were also known for laburnum furniture, the timber they called “Scotch walnut”.
So there is a lot of fine old furniture in Perth homes, and plenty of it is overdue some care.
What Perth customers ask for
- Repair and restoration for ring marks, lifting veneer, loose joints and damage from house moves.
- French polishing to bring dining tables, cabinets and antiques back to a deep shine, or a modern finish for hard-working furniture.
- Chair caning and bergère, with split and sagging cane rewoven by hand.
- Rush and cord seats for country chairs, stools and mid-century pieces.
- Furniture making: tables, benches and fitted cabinetry made to order.
Ten reviews on Yell, every one of them five stars
“The removal company dropped my antique Grandfather’s oak extension dining table and smashed the joint on one leg. Craig responded to my desperate plea for help... He recovered and restored a loved piece of family history.”
“My Uncle Charles’ nursery chair was in a sad state. Scruffy, loose inlay and a seat that needed re-caning big-time... would recommend this master craftsman to anyone.”
“I also have a cherished birds-eye maple dressing table that he repaired and managed to turn into an even lovelier side table.”
