❝  Mark carried out extensive conservation work on an unusual piece of fine furniture. The work was completed in the time scale we had originally agreed upon and to an exceptionally high standard. We found Mark to be very knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. Mark definately gives 110% and his enthusiasm for his work is very obvious. As we were intending to auction our piece of furniture Mark very kindly supplied us with a list of suitable auction houses without having to be asked. Mark also compiled a full colour, in depth, very impressive brochure to accompany the chair to auction. The detailed photographs and narrative showcased the chair to its full potential. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mark, and I will certainly be using his services in the future. ❞

❝ Thank you for your excellent work on my piano stool. The finished article is super and the fabric you helped me choose goes well with my existing soft furnishings. I also appreciated your sensitive attention to detail in finishing the woodwork and using appropriately sympathetic studs to secure the upholstery. The stool is now much comfier as well as being more aesthetically pleasing. I will definitely enjoy playing Christmas carols when the family come round for Christmas this year.
