If you are looking for an expert able to undertake the restoration of antiques around Guildford, then do contact us at Snelling Associates! We are based in Shere (where we have been working for over 25 years!) and we provide a top quality, personalised service.
Just look at our web site and you will see the sheer variety of antiques that we have restored from objets d’art through to tables, cabinets, chests – and sometimes items that almost defy description! You will also see that we restore mirror and picture frames. Some of these have incredibly complicated details, both in wood and plaster, that have needed very specialised work to restore.
Of course, we undertake a great deal of work as part of insurance claims where antiques have suffered from impact, fire or water damage. Often we receive family heirlooms that are in a terrible state and yet (almost invariably!) we are able to restore them to their previous glory (and value).
We are able to make up lost or damaged parts – so do not be too concerned if your antique is missing finials or has damaged woodwork or plaster work. In our workshop we can reproduce details and replace veneers and then colour and French polish or wax your antique to produce a finish and patina that matches in with the rest of the piece. This, of course, is vital and an integral part of our work. Our aim is always to ensure that your antique is restored so that it is as perfect as its age allows – and that it is usable and a delight to possess.
So, if you are looking for someone who can undertake the restoration of antiques around Guildford then do contact us now. Come and meet us or send us details of the work you want doing and we can discuss your requirements and provide you with a quotation for the work. I am sure that you will be delighted with the service we provide and the professionalism of our antique restorations!
