Over the years we've refinished many pieces of furniture with projects ranging from fixing a scratching to completely stripping and refinishing, including applying new veneer. When it comes to selecting a finish we take into account the age of the piece and how it will be used. In some cases a modern hardwearing finish is more appropriate and this is what we would recommend, however, for older pieces with patina then sometimes just oil or lacquer works best! We always try to re-glue veneer that has become separated from the piece but in some cases (particularly waer damage) replacement is needed; we then match the existing veneer (for wood species and thickness), and then glue in the new piece carefully to ensure that the final finish looks just as good as new.

This beautiful African mahogany table was a 'survivor' of Hurricane Katrina, but suffered severe damage to the veneer and wood. We carefully repaired the veneer and refinished it to bring it back to prime condition.

This vintage table and chairs was falling apart, after a careful rebuild and refinish/shabby chic treatment and reupholstering the chairs it looked better than new.

This table had been stored in an outside shed and the high humidity had caused the veneer to buckle. The veneer needed to be replaced. We used a mahogany veneer and then refinished in varnish and refinished the apron to match the table top.

This attractive wicker table needed a gentle renovation. We refinished the top to bring out the beauty of the oak top by staining and sealing with varnish before painting the wicker base in Benjamin Moore Advance paint.

Our client wanted some family furniture updated in time for a new arrival. Just painted, not shabby chic so we sprayed in Benjamin Moore Advance Simply White paint which with the new sparkly knobs gave the pieces a contempory twist.

This table had been left in a house for 4 years with no air conditioning and in direct sunlight which had badly bleached it. When we stripped it to bare wood we 'found' the beautiful banding detail. We carefully restained the table and refinished it to a high sheen.
