I have been restoring Antique furniture for over thirty years, and worked extensively in Europe before coming back home to Scotland and starting my own business in 1992.

Over the years I have been fascinated by the furniture I have seen and restored, many things have happened over a lifetime of usage – pieces have been badly restored, cut down, veneered, transformed, repolished and brass work replaced.

I have worked for the National Galleries of Scotland and many Museums, Royal Palaces and Stately homes. I am a proud member of the British Antique Furniture Restoration Association (BAFRA) and am the only member in Scotland. I am also a member of the London and Provincial Antique Dealers Association, (LAPADA)

Our courses have been attended by the Art and Antiques Unit of Scotland Yard, antique dealers from all different fields from all over the globe, collectors, and guides of stately homes, farmers, and many other enthusiasts including a helicopter pilot! Our youngest participant was 19 and our eldest has been 84 so everyone is very welcome!
