Restoring a Marble Washstand

We have waved our magic wand once again (well, not literally—but our dedicated and hardworking professional team certainly knows all the right moves) and carefully restored this rather elegant Marble Washstand.

This classic piece was in need of extensive repairs, particularly to the damaged and missing veneers that really detracted from the overall beauty of the item

Next, we meticulously repaired the drawers, ensuring they now glide effortlessly with every use. There is nothing more frustrating than stuck drawers, which can ultimately cause additional strain and damage to the rest of the piece over time

. After completing all the necessary repairs, we finished the washstand with a rich cedar stain and a beautiful semi-gloss finish, perfectly enhancing all those exquisite traditional features

. A truly gorgeous final result for our June restoration project.

Beautiful Restoration of a Chiffonier

We take so much joy in the process of restoration.

To turn something broken, old, and in dire need of some TLC into something beautiful and serviceable once again is a joy and a privilege for us.

Fresh out of the workshop last week was this gorgeous old chiffonier ; in need of a makeover.

We removed the old finish, repaired the veneers and the drawers and other areas that needed some adjustments.

We then sanded and polished and colour matched to blend in with the clients existing decor.

Beautiful once again , restored chiffonier.

Restored to its former glory, the restoration process has given new life into this wonderful piece.
