Lovely job! My dear Mum would have been so glad to see the bureau restored to it's proper glory.

I've had the bureau at home now for the past week, and I want to let you know how pleased I am with it, and with your work. You have really done a marvellous job, and I am very grateful.

We are delighted with the restoration of the table. It belonged to my paternal grandmother who was very fond of it. I have sent a photograph to my sister whose response was "stunning".

Michael Wrigley

Dear Celia, you restored a small coffee table for us before Christmas and I just wanted to say thank you for doing such a beautiful job. The result really is stunning and the table is much more beautiful than it was before.

Celia has restored several pieces of furniture for me over the last few years. Her work is excellent, sympathetic to the piece and very professional. This has included French Polishing, carving missing pieces and replacing baize. I highly recommend her work".

Lady Janet Boyce

Over the last 5 years Celia has worked on a number of pieces for me ranging from antique an French dresser to a modern cabinet using burred veneers. In each case her work has greatly enhanced the appearance of the piece.

"She has a great ability to identify the problem, strip off the old waxes and polishes and bring the wood back to life. I would be very happy to recommend her and will certainly use her again in the future".

I just wanted to say a big 'thank you' for your service and customer care. I am really pleased with the work you did on my Art Deco nesting tables; you took your time to talk me through the existing problems and what you could do in the way of repair. The tables came out far better than I expected; they have a real warmth and beauty to them that one would expect from well looked after, quality furniture.

"It is because of this attention to detail, and real love for what you do that I chose to return to you again and again to work on all my Art Deco furniture (coffee table, side tables, cocktail cabinet…). I have already recommended you to someone else since this work was done and will happily do so in the future. Thank you again".

Celia has transformed a very tired 1960's desk for me, replacing chipped veneer and removing stains, scratches and fading so that it shines like new. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or to use her again in the future".
