Lacquer and japanned furniture restoration in London

Lacquered and japanned furniture, including chinoiserie pieces, needs patient, specialist hands. Flaking, lifted and lost areas of lacquer and gilded decoration can be consolidated and restored.

We stabilise loose lacquer, fill losses and retouch by hand with pigments matched to the original, so the repair sits with the surrounding decoration. The aim is always to keep as much of the original surface as possible.
