Most items of Furniture that pass through our lives, do so very often with very little thought about how old it is, who made it, or where it came from and as most antique items of furniture above 70 years old, they were more often than not hand made, apart from some utility furniture, the real quality came about just before and during the Victorian period, it's no wonder therefore that restoration to some items is not only inevitable but very often necessary. Furniture dates back from time immemorial and although not many today would care to live in those times, myself included, it cannot be denied that some household furniture, clocks and other items that still exists today, is a testament of their quality and craftsmanship and just one of the many reasons why I enjoy the restoration work that I do so much, in being able to bring some of these items back to life.
