Bowman's take particular pride in the quality of their furniture restoration work. Each piece is lovingly crafted to take pride of place in any home.

No job is too small or large. Bowmans take on any job from an unsightly scratch or a missing piece of veneer, to a pile of boards found in the back shed. When they are finished the furniture will be back to original condition, or glow with the patina appropriate to its age.

The furniture does not need to be old or antique, Bowmans will reveneer, repair or refinish any furniture. They are specialists in colour matching. Some furniture may only require a 'freshen-up' with a wash and clear finish. Furniture can also be reupholstered.

A full restoration job will usually involve full disassembly, removal of old finish, straightening boards, repairing cracks, sanding back, reassembing/regluing/clamping and applying a stain and finish. Bowmans can supply a wide range of furniture finishes including French Polishing. The finish will bring out the timber's natural grain and colours, while protecting and retaining the patina of age and history. Each piece receives the personal hand attention of a dedicated craftsman.

Think of Bowmans before you dispose of a decrepid piece of furniture. Make sure that you keep all parts of the original if possible, no matter what the condition, (the restorations are sympathetic) and contact Bowmans for a quotation to bring it back to life.

Remember, by restoring furniture, you are not only preserving beautiful timber and craftsmanship of a bygone age, but also preserving history, recycling and gaining a valuable asset.
