A.D. Livingston & Sons is a family business, established in 1981 by father and son Alec and Ian Livingston, in Castle Douglas, south west Scotland. The business is now run by Ian and his brother Kenny, who together have over 35 years of experience in restoring, buying and selling antiques. Our clients include the National Trust for Scotland, the Burns Cottage at Alloway and various local museums. Our premises are an 18th century courtyard in the centre of Castle Douglas near the town clock. Castle Douglas is an attractive 18th century planned town in the heart of scenic Galloway only 40 minutes drive from the M74 at Lockerbie.
We are stockists for LIBERON, who make a wide range of antique restoration products including waxes, polishes and oils, varnishes, brushes and restoration tools. Wood Repairs We re-use old timbers to match the grain and colour of the damaged area. Where re-gluing is necessary we use old glues to keep authenticity. We can make new parts from reclaimed wood- carving and turning are one of our specialities. Old veneers are used in preference for their thickness and rich colour. Chairs - We reglue with old glues to enable future repairs to be undertaken - this is particularly important with 18th century Windsor chairs.
