Paul Pickford Antiques

What We Do:

So what exactly do we do? Well basically I obtain antiques and collectables from various sources and then bring them back to the workshop where I and the team do whatever is needed to get them into showroom condition. This may mean just a clean and polish. Sometimes it is restoring such things as lost or missing feet, handles, etc. Often, especially with the pine furniture, this can mean removing many layers of old paint before repair and re-polishing can be done.

These sad looking items were one of the spoils of my searches, and it is in this state that they come back to my workshop.

With a little magic, but more especially with a lot of time, we bring items like this back to there former glory: 
 
 
 

The pine we get in, as stated in the "The People" section, is largely Eileens department, which can get real messy:
