Restoration and Conservation
Jamie With 40 years of experience in the workshop, as a French polisher, specialising in maintaining original finishes, hand graining, colouring and wax finishes. To me conserving and restoring furniture is like therapy. I consider myself lucky in business because I have the best of both worlds, my showroom and my workshop.
Shane I have 40 years experience in the workshop and learnt the trade working along side Jamie at the same company in New Zealand. I moved to Australia a couple of years ago to further my knowlege and to gain experience in the Georgian and pre Georgian periods so it was with great pleasure to me that I rejoined Jamie at Allpress Antiques. I also have a wide depth of knowledge in Victorian, Edwardian and Deco furniture and do enjoy the work we do with Jamie’s love of early oak. I must say that the restoration and conservation methods we use at the shop are completely different to the way we restored overseas. It is less complicated and allows the true beauty of the wood to come through. There is no over restoration.
