Adore and Restore!

Transform your tired, or old-fashioned furniture, with the help of Sturgess & Sturgess.

The Power Of Restoration

At Sturgess & Sturgess we are dedicated to reviving your tired and worn, often well-loved furniture, to give it a new lease of life. We believe in recycling as opposed to throwing away; we only replace what is absolutely necessary, meaning less waste going into landfill.

Chair Restoration

This antique chair was in need of a few repairs and a complete re-seat, when it arrived at our workshop. The original cover was dated and no longer fitted with the customer’s décor, and after many years of use, the seat had sagged!

We stripped off the old cover and, carefully removed the fillings, so that they could be re-instated once the new seat had been re-built. We then set about repairing the frame, re-webbed the seat, sewed and lashed in all of the springs and then, finally re-covered the chair in a bold zebra print fabric, which the customer had chosen from our extensive range of pattern books.

Chesterfield Restoration

When this antique Chesterfield came into our workshop, the customer informed us that he was unhappy with the work that the previous re-upholsterer had done, and was very apprehensive about trusting someone else to put it right. Unfortunately, upon closer inspection it became quite clear that it had been very badly done indeed; however, not deterred by a challenge, we assured the customer that we could confidently put it back to its former glory.

We removed the 4” x 2” plank and over-sized spring unit, they had wedged in, which had damaged the frame and, then repaired the frame with a new solid beach rail, using dowels and glue. We then webbed the seat and hand-sewed the new coil springs in, and traditionally built the sofa from the frame up. The customer was beyond pleased with the finished result and remarked that it looked as it had when he’d first bought it, and friends and family couldn’t believe it was the same piece of furniture!

AMAZING TRANSFORMATIONS!

Occasionally, here at Sturgess & Sturgess, we have items of furniture which, when they turn up in our workshop, are a little sad and definitely in need of some ‘tlc’. With our special set of skills and expertise in antiques, we carefully and meticulously transform them back to their former glory and, into the ‘show stoppers’ they once were!
