Over a number of years we have been priviledged to utilize the services of a number of expert cabinetmakers, French polishers, and upholsterers. By combining their skills, and using those best suited to the nature of the individual job concerned, we have been able to service the needs of our clients very happily over a good number of years.

Under the umbrella of 'Tantalus Antiques', we can cater for all requirements of furniture restoration. Consequently, if through wear and tear, or unforeseen damage, there's no requirement to seek out different craftsmen to repair selected parts or pieces. We will compile the report of what is required and ensure that all the work is carried out with a minimum of fuss to yourself.

Help is at hand, come in and see us, or simply give us a call on 01292 315999.

Before

Ceramic Repairs & Restoration

When the inevitable 'accident' happens. the temptation to discard the damaged piece is intense.............DON'T

We have frequently been able to piece together and, together with the finishings of colouring and glaze, restore the piece such that the 'accident' might never have happened.

On receipt of the broken piece, we will furnish you with a full report on the damage, the anticipated outcome of the restoration, along with a quote for the work which we undertake NOT to exceed without prior approval.

On completion of the restoration, your piece will be safely and securely returned to you, as though time had been returned back to before your piece was ever damaged!

Painting Cleaning and Restoration

Be it the result of an accident or through general passing of time, paintings ultimately will benefit from careful and empathetic cleaning and restoration. Through time, the atmospheric stains of smoke, dust and grease accumulate on the surface of your painting resulting in dulled colours, lack of definition, deterioration of the paint surface, foxing, tarnish and overall... your painting falling short of 'being all it can be' and diminishing your enjoyment and appreciation of the image.

Careful and empathetic resoration in the hands of a professional, will enhance your enjoyment of your painting, protect it from the rigours of time, and also protect or enhance the value of the painting for your appreciation and investment.

As always, a full report and quote will be provided BEFORE any work is carried out.
