Furniture restoration
Restoration Services
Marlborough Antiques & Restorations offer a complete restoration service from simple re-polishing, to total hand-stripping and re-finishing. From retro furniture, antiques, chairs, country pine tables and Victorian cedar chests of drawers, through to architectural items with particular emphasis on fireplaces and mantlepieces.
As the market has changed so have we, so 20th Century furniture is from chairs to tables, from Parker to Wegner. We do it all, and can organise fantastic upholstery through Classique Upholstery in Ulladulla, whose work is both reasonable and A1 quality.
Obviously chairs are a favourite, but all furniture is more than welcome.

Rush Seating
Replacing rush seating can be problematic. With rush a prohibited import into Australia, many restorers use sea-grass cord as a substitute. This can give an inferior result due to the coarse texture of the material and the amount of stretch that occurs with use.
At Marlborough Antiques, we have developed a method of weaving twisted paper cord that bears a much closer resemblance to rush in texture and twist and provides equal, if not superior properties of endurance.
